More than a decade after his death, it serves as a reminder of a beloved pet, one that served as a friend when Karen needed one most. She received Sam as a gift after the loss of a child. The stone canine also brings to mind another fond memory, reminding the Del Tufos of the relationship between Sam and another pet, a cat called Lightning.

And they had lots to say. The forum was also intended to give the committee a sense o f. how residents would feel about an open-space tax. Township Planning Board Director Tony Mercantante told the attendees that townships usually develop a plan and then hold meetings. But we are holding the meetings up-front, before a plan is developed.

Out of the 50 people who attended the meeting, approximately 20 stepped forward to take the microphone, mostly in support of the committee s mission and the tax increase. Many of them recommended properties that they deemed worthy of preservation. The committee plans to schedule a second forum. Former Middletown Police C h ief Joe M ccarthy, Port Monmouth, said he has lived in the township all of his 73 years, noting, It was all farms while I was growing up. McCarthy recommended that the township preserve the Haskell Estate, a large parcel on Cooper Road in the Chapel Hill section of the township. It is one of the most beautiful places left, he said.

Menezes/Greater Media) H a z l e t b o a r d o f f i c e s t o r e l o c a t e t o R H S Sansevero elected president, Barney, vice president, in board reorganization BY MARY DEMPSEY S t a f f W r ite r HAZLET School Superintendent Tim othy P. N ogueira announced at Monday s Board of Education meeting that the district s central offices will relocate to Raritan H igh School, M iddle Road, in July. The board has been renting space at the Bethany Commons office condominium complex on Bethany Road for the past several years, since moving out of Middle Road School to free space for classrooms. Nogueira noted the move is primarily for financial reasons and will save the district approximately $70,000 this year. He said the district was scheduled to enter the fourth year of a five-year lease at Bethany Commons in July. The board had been hoping to move out o f the b uild in g before the lease expired, to save money, Nogueira said, and is negotiating with the landlord about the lease. We are trying to do things economically and not be wasteful with the taxpayers money, Nogueira said. He added the July move would not take away classroom space from students. We did a comprehensive study on the utilization of rooms in the high school and we were able to free up six classrooms in the library wing, Nogueira said. The future tenants of the high school s library wing will not make any changes to the rooms that would prevent them from being used as classrooms at a later date. We w ill not make true physical changes to any classrooms. We may only add blinds and some (carpeting). At the same time, we will be saving the taxpayers money, Nogueira said. Nogueira also said enrollment changes have nothing to do with the move. We are not doing this because enrollment is down; it is actually up, he said. We anticipate an enrollment of 1,000 (high school) students next year, Nogueira said, an increase of approximately 50 students. He added the July move to the high school will not prevent the central offices from moving into a new municipal building in the future. The Township Committee has discussed various plans for a new municipal building, on Middle Road at the site of the police-court building and also on Union Avenue. In recent years, the plans have incorporated space for board offices. The township has not finalized its plans, however. This move does not close any doors for the district moving into a municipal building in the future, Nogueira said. We are not at odds with the township; we are just on different timetables. Prior to the board s regular workshop meeting, Thomas Sansevero was unanimously elected board president, replacing Richard Barney, who was named vice president. Incumbent board members Toni Casha and Jerome J. Gillen and newcomer Joseph Lamb were also sworn in to three-year tenns on the nine-member board. The board also reappointed Kenney & Gross, Red Bank, as board attorney at an annual retainer of $28,800 and $120 per hour for services beyond the retainer agreement. The board will continue to hold its agenda meetings the first Monday of the month and regular meetings the second Monday, both 8 p.m. at the high school library. f e e r a i s e d t o $ 6 5 y r. BY BEVERLY McGEE C o r r e s p o n d e n t M ID D LET O W N The Township Committee unanimously passed an ordinance amending the fee schedule for parking permits at the Middletown Train Station and commuter parking lots Monday, then went on to debate parking problems at the railroad station. Under the ordinance, the annual parking fee period w ill run from July 1 through June 30. The fee for Middletown residents will increase from $50 to $65 per year and from $100 to $150 for non-residents. The amended fee schedule w ill take effect July 1. The railroad station parking lot was also the subject of discussion among three committee members during their discussion of agenda items for the committee s May 18 regular meeting. W ith Deputy Mayor Joan Smith and Committeeman Patrick Parkinson abstaining from the discussion, Mayor Rick Brodsky and committee members Raymond O Grady and Rosemarie Peters discussed the possibility of NJ Transit purchasing a privately owned tract of land north of the railroad tracks, to be used for additional parking. NJ Transit has asked the committee for a resolution regarding the project, which would initially add 250 parking spaces. ' The parking lot has become an unbearable situation, O Grady said, adding that acquisition (of the property) is key to answering this problem. But the project could bring traffic through a nearby residential neighborhood, a cause of concern to committee members. The issue with this site is access, Brodsky said. The construction of a tunnel to access the site has been deemed too expensive by NJ Transit. I m not sure that we have the sense of the community in terms of what would be acceptable to them, said Peters. I haven t seen enough information that all o f the options have been explored, Peters said. A second-level parking deck over part of the additional lot could be a better option, Peters said, but that option was also deemed too costly. The committee also introduced a bond ordinance appropriating $1,619,500 in capital improvements within the township, including several reconstruction projects, the resurfacing of various roads in the township, drainage improvements and the installation of curbs and sidewalks along various roads within the township. In other business, the township yesterday announced a public hearing on the franchise agreement with Comcast Cable, which will expire in The hearing will be held at 8 p.m. Monday in the east wing of the Senior Center, located on the Croydon Hall campus at 900 Leonardville Road. The hearing, which will be conducted by the township Cable Advisory Committee, is to gather inform ation. Comcast also has been invited to respond to questions raised in a recent public survey.

The swim club, located at 214 Harmony Road, will officially open on May 23. Since the township s swimming pool utility took over operations of the club about six months ago, there has been ongoing work and construction, Gregg Silva, director of parks and recreation, said Friday at the mayor s monthly press conference. A lot of action happened here in the last few months, Silva said. In order to keep costs down, we hired part-time employees, skilled craftsmen who were overseen by township staff. There was a band of merry men all over the place. Mayor R ick Brodsky is very pleased with the results. This was a substantial undertaking for the town, Brodsky said. W e ve worked very hard on it. The swim club is going to be-a great summer hang-out to be with friends and neighbors from the community. Many improvements have been made to the cabanas and bathhouses. The plumbing and electricity have been upgraded, and the cabanas have been refurbished. More than 800 people have applied for membership. All 44 cabanas have been rented for the season, but bathhouse memberships are still available, Silva said. Areas, including the main deck, have been made wheelchair accessible and new accessible rest rooms have been completed. New accessible playground equipment also is being installed, as well as new picnic-area gazebo covers. Improvements also have been made to the pools including major work on the electrical and filtration systems. New lane lines are also being installed, and all of the pools are being freshly painted, Silva said. The pools will be filled within the next 10 to 14 days, Silva added. On the grounds of the club, there is new fencing as well as a newly paved parking lot. The snack bar has undergone major renovations and the basketball court is being refurbished. The 10-acre club has four pools, five tennis courts, redwood cabanas and bathhouses, a snack bar, volleyball and basketball courts, horseshoes, and open picnic and play areas. The Swim Club will also feature a full program of family activities including a tiny tots day camp, competitive swim program, tennis leagues and tournaments and various special events. A ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at 9 a.m. May 23. Silva said there are still memberships available for bathhouses. Interested parties are encouraged to stop by one of the open houses which are being held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. for the next two Saturdays and Sundays, May 9-10 and May F a c t o r y B o n u s O mfg. sug. ret f f e r HEAVY DUTY CART With the purchase of a new Snapper tractor you can buy this heavy duty 10 cu. ft. utility cart with pneumatic tires and SAVE $ H.P.

Osborne was the only female member of the Back-to-Basics faction, so her defection splits the board along gender lines, with Osborne joining Patricia Walsh and Sherry Gevarter, who are outside the majority faction. Back-to-Basics members Richard Kilar, Philip Scaduto, Robert W. Bucco Jr., Noel Britt Raynor, John Johnson and Robert Whittemore sat quietly as Osborne read a prepared statement at the board s April 28 reorganization meeting. Osborne read the statement immediately after the Back-to-Basics majority elected John Johnson board president. Johnson s re-election is being challenged by candidate Donna Pinamonti, who lost to him by nine votes. A recount will be held Monday. At the meeting, Osborne said that when Scaduto and former board member Thomas Stokes recruited her for the Back-to-Basics slate two years ago, she told them, I would not put myself in a position that would require me to cater to special interest groups... that might seek to make political or personal gains through the use of my votes as a board member. Osborne added she did not allow outside pressures to influence her votes over the last two years and she would continue to remain faithful in the last year of her term. One of Osborne s reasons for splitting RELATED STORY, PACE 8 from the Back-to-Basics slate was related to the board s current contract negotiations with the Middletown Township Education Association, she said. Members of the MTEA have worked under an expired contract for almost two years. On Feb. 2, Scaduto, Whittemore and board Attorney Malachi Kenney met with MTEA representatives and a Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC) fact-finder and reached a tentative or possible agreement. Scaduto was the only member of the board s negotiations committee present at the February meeting. Osborne, then a member of the board s negotiations committee, stated that in the early morning of Feb. 3, Scaduto and Kenney telephoned her regarding the agreement to get her to sanction it, which she refused to do. The terms of the February agreement were comparable to the fact-finder s recommendations, released on March 31, including an average 3.7-percent salary increase for teachers over a five-year period. The fact-finder s report was rejected by the board because the costs would prevent the board from continuing facilities upgrades and restoration of educational programs, Scaduto, chairman of the board s negotiations committee, said in an April 13 press release. I said no, and as a result, I ultimately violated the Back-to-Basics code of do what you are told by refusing to agree to the terms that were discussed by Mr. Kenney, Mr. Scaduto and Mr. Whittemore that evening, Osborne said. She also cited the election of Johnson as board president at the reorganization meeting. Continued on page 9

According to a press release by Jeff Gollin, a member of the board of trustees of the Association of N.J. Environmental Commissioners, the group was formed to answer what many citizens believe to be a wake-up call in the series of very real and imminent threats to the preservation of Holmdel s sense of place, natural resources and quality of. Several of us have come together, explained Larry Fink, because of concerns about the township s sewer plan and the way the township is trying to push it through. Fink is a former member of the township s award-winning Environmental Commission. Mayor Robert Giannone s failure to reappoint him in January prompted an outcry, but the mayor said he and Fink have differing philosophies. Fink was appointed to a three-year term on the Monmouth County Environmental Council in January after completing a oneyear term. Since the Township Committee has indicated it would make zoning changes to help fund some of the sewers, the negative side would be some very high density, Fink added. Fink said the group does not intend to be political, but to encourage public discussion. Asked about the upcoming Republican primary, however, he said, the group is not sure if we will endorse primary candidates. In the June 2 Republican primary, Giannone and Committeeman Henry Ferris will be challenged for the GOP nomination for two three-year committee seats by former Committeeman Gary Aumiller and GOP Club President Terence Wall. The November race will also include present chairman of the township d e l g ro u p Environment;.! Commission Chairman Russell Dronne, who is running as an independent, and Democrats Walter Wood and Arthur Davey. The Citizens for Informed Land Use was formed about a month and a half ago and has not elected officers yet, according to Fink. We hope that we can help bring light that doesn t seem to be shared by the governing body, he added. The group has no intention of being political, but rather to educate residents about important issues. According to its statement, the group does not represent any one particular political faction or point of view and has an apolitical focus. Our mission, first and foremost, is to promote intelligent land use over the long haul. Then again, if we have to, we will not shy away from direct political involvement, it states. Sam Shramko, a member of the group, said that the recent Indian Creek sewering issue brought the group s concerns to the forefront. The expectation that each neighborhood (would) be informed on these issues was not met, said Shramko, who lives on Indian Creek Road. The sewer master plan meeting earlier in the year also raised red flags many of the residents were not given the proper chance to voice their concerns, Shramko said. The group plans to examine alternatives to sewering, and to support a petition being circulated to place a referendum on Holmdel sewer construction on the November ballot. It also will support open space planning and acquisition and promote the implementation of township s greenway plans. The group will meet on the second Wednesday of every month at 7:30 p.m The next meeting will be on Wednesday May 13 at the Holmdel Township Library meeting room. For more information, contact Fink at , Shramko at , or Bill McFarland at McFarland is the former chairman of the Board of Health.

J o h n s o n t o h e a d b o a r d MIDDLETOWN Following a heated debate at its reorganization meeting last week, the Board of Education elected John Johnson president. It also elected Noel Britt Raynor as vice president. The board voted 6-3 in favor of Johnson, with board members Sherry Gevarter, Patricia Walsh and Jeanne Osborne dissenting. Johnson was re-elected to the board on April 21 by a slim nine-vote margin. Donna Pinamonti, who came in fourth in the race for three, three-year board seats, has requested a recount, which is scheduled for Monday. Prior to Johnson s nomination as board president, Gevarter offered Osborne s name for the presidency and was seconded by Walsh. Gevarter backed up her nomination claiming Osbome was more qualified to lead the board than Johnson. For this board and this community, there is only one clear choice, Jeanne Osbome, Gevarter said. Walsh agreed with Gevaiter's as sessment of Osborne s ability to run the board. k She has been very committed to attending all of the board meetings. Mrs. Osbome operates with a freedom that other board members don t exhibit... with an understanding that everybody s opinion has to be taken into consideration. I would like to thank Mrs. Gevarter and Mrs. Walsh for their vote of confidence;... it really means a lot. Osbome said in response to the noniination. Board member Robert Whittemore, who was also elected April 21 as a member of the board s Back to Basics majority, made a statement explaining his vote against Osbome. At this time I feel that it is necessary that the board elect a president that can put a kinder and gentler approach to where we need to go; that s not to imply that Jeanne is not kinder, gentler or more attractive, Whittemore said. After his election, Johnson admitted Osborne s attendance at board meetings was better than his own, but we also have to look at the quality and not quantity of one s efforts. Johnson further stated Osbome would score well in both areas. My vote is no reflection on you. Jeanne, he said. A few minutes later, Gevarter spoke about a comment Johnson had made to her at the meeting. As we are sitting here, our brand new board president said to me, Have your fun. Sherry. You are a poor loser. Gevarter said. After admitting he made the statement to Gevarter, Johnson said, What you re experiencing here tonight is sour grapes. Mary Dempsey

But Mr. Scaduto advised me not to worry about it, she said, noting that Scaduto said Johnson would get over it. Osborne said Johnson s attendance over the last year was less than exemplary and not indicative of someone who shows leadership qualities. Johnson did not attend the reorganization meeting last year, Osborne said. This evening, Mr. Johnson s appointment to this position as leader of the board is a reward for doing what he was told, Osborne concluded.

With grass clippings banned from the county landfill, the borough has stopped collecting them, leaving frustrated residents wondering where to turn. At the A pril 22 Borough Council meeting, the borough s recycling coordinator, Edwin Schlotzhauer Jr., advised residents on the best course of action. Grass clippings should be left on the lawn, Schlotzhauer said. The practice will reduce the amount of water and fertilizer needed and will slow the growth of weeds, he said. Leaving grass clippings on lawns w ill not cause thatch, which is caused by dead grass roots, he said. The best alternative to leaving the clippings on the lawn is to compost them, Schlotzhauer said. As a final and least-recommended alternative, residents can take the clippings to the landfill at 6000 Asbury Ave., Tinton Falls, to a special grass-clipping collection site located there. The fee for the clippings is $3 per carload. The landfill hours are 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

11 B a r b a t o t a p p e d t o h e a d r e g i o n a l b o a r d INDEPENDENT, MAY t BY LINDA DeNICOLA... Staff Writer ABERDEEN There was a full agenda and some friction last week when the Matawan-Aberdeen Regional School District Board of Education reorganized. Three new board members, Arthur Fumarola, a Matawan resident, along with Henry Butch Esposito and Catherine Zavorskas, both of Aberdeen, took their oath of office. John Barbato, an Aberdeen resident and board member for four years, was unanimously appointed president of the board, and Matawan resident Gerald Donaghue, who is completing his second year on the board, was elected vice president. Donaghue was appointed with one dissenting vote from Irwin Katz. When Katz was asked why he voted against the appointment, he declined to comment, saying it was personal. Board member Janice Gallo suggested that the board consider changing its format from standing committees, which meet privately, to a committee of the whole, where most matters before the board would be discussed publicly during regularly scheduled meetings. Katz said he was for the change. It would be done to maintain the honor and integrity of the entire board. No surprises; no back-room committees. All of the board members would get their information before the public, where it would be discussed, he said. We don t want things thrown in front of us at the last minute. Then we have to go into executive session, he added. Fumarola said he was for it, but we have a new board president, and I don t know if it is fair to put this burden on him. It is the best way, he added. In the past only a few people had the privilege of knowing. The information was changed by the time the full board got it. Zavorskas, who had said after winning her campaign that she didn t know what to expect as a board member, seemed upset by the discord that surfaced over this issue. I just took the oath of office and now I m hearing about back-room deals. W hat s going on here? she asked. Donaghue and board member Michael 2 2 n d A n n u a l A r c G o l f C l a s s i c s l a t e d f o r M o n. The 22nd Annual Arc Golf Classic, which benefits The Arc of Monmouth, will be held Monday at Bamm Hollow Country Club, Lincroft. The tournament will begin with registration at 11 a.m., and lunch will follow at 11:30 a.m. The shotgun start will be held at 12:30 p.m. Immediately following play there w ill be a cash bar and an awards dinner. Entry fee for the classic is $160. Proceeds will be used for the Arc's training programs for people with mental retardation in Monmouth County. Ginger Morogiello of Middletown and Joan M itchell of Holmdel w ill serve as co-chairwomen for the golf tournament. Other local committee members are Donald P. Bush Jr. of M iddletown and Gary Cognetta. Walter Windeknecht and Robert Weir, Esq., all of Lincroft. For more in formation about the event, call (732) , Ext Clifton preferred keeping things the way they were, at least for the time being. The motion was voted down with seven members voting against the change and Gallo and Katz voting for it. Long-term board member M arilyn Brenner was presented with a plaque in appreciation of her many years on the board. Brenner, who has served the district for 21 years, reminded everyone of the many positive changes in the district since she was first elected in It was a troubled district split along racial and economic lines, and the high school was on split session, she said. She noted a couple of important changes, including the standardization of the district and improved buildings and athletic facilities. I had a lot to do with those changes as part of the team, she said. She added that even though the school district had to eliminate courtesy busing because of the charter school, this is a fine school district. I hope the district will continue to fight the funding of the charter schools. Brenner closed her statement with an emotion appeal. I want to see us imbue in every child a zest for life and a love of learning. As for me, I m like a boomerang the children couldn t get rid of. I ll be around, she said. Margaret Montone, Aberdeen, and Stanley R. Lachiewicz, Matawan, who, like Brenner, lost re-election bids, were not present. Barbato, in his acceptance speech as the new board president, vowed to listen to everyone s views. I spent some time in a comer because of my views. I didn t like that, he said. W e ll take care of the problems we have, he said. I know that. I commit to you that every decision that comes out of this board will benefit the children. We will provide them with the opportunities and resources. I voted for a longer school day even though my children objected, but I told them it is the best thing for them, he said. He also said that any decision to hire will be based on qualifications, not on who knows somebody or a favor that is owed to someone. Board Secretary Joel Glastein will continue in his position and Ellen Ball remains the treasurer. The board also reappointed the firm of Kenny and Gross of Red Bank as board attorney at an hourly rate of $120. The board will continue to meet on the third Monday of each month.

12 t 2 INDEPENDENT, MAY 6, 1998 OPINION O U R V IE W O p e n s p a c e f o r u m t h e r i g h t w a y t o g o It was refreshing to leam that the ad hoc Middletown Open Space Preservation Committee went to the residents before developing a plan to preserve open space. It put the horse before the cart, where it belongs, rather than the cart before the horse. Middletown is such a large community, there is sure to be a variety of opinion about which parcels are most in need of preservation. But based on comments at Thursday s forum, there is no end to ideas. The requests for open space preservation ranged all the way from the splendid Haskell Estate to a small astronaut memorial park on Kings Highway East, from Route 36 sand pits to wooded land south of the Leonardo State Marina. Still other residents suggested preserving vacant land R e s i d e n t s u r g e d t o a t t e n d m e e t i n g May 12 may go down as a pivotal day in Holmdel s history. On hold a public hearing on revisions to the township s master plan that w ill determine the course and look of Holmdel as it enters the 21st century. At the board meeting of April 28, the draft of this revision was discussed and only three people were in the audience, two reporters and myself. W hat I heard was very disturbing. The board plans major changes, including the section on infrastructure. It is recommending that virtually the remainder of the town be sewered. Because the master plan is the controlling document of the township under the municipal land use law, this change gives very little choice to the residents after it has been adopted. As disturbing was the decision of the Township Committee to request a change in the planning area delineations in Holmdel. Under the New Jersey master plan, currently being reviewed, almost all of Southern H olm del was in Planning Area 5, Environmentally Sensitive, with a small village at the crossroads of Holmdel Road and Route 520. According to the discussion on A pril 28, the Township Committee voted A pril 13 to submit a change to the Mon" Letters near busy Garden State Parkway Interchange 114. That s a lot of land to preserve, but well worth it, if residents are willing to support an open-space referendum. The ad hoc committee is hoping to get a non-binding-referendum on the November ballot seeking a penny or a 2-cent open space tax to pay for the open space acquisitions. While the approximately 50 people who attended last week s forum seemed to support such a tax, that does not mean the rest of the voters will. It s a good idea, however. A penny tax would raise $454,000 which could be used to bond a much larger sum. That penny would cost the owner of a $200,000 home $20 a year. Now that the new committee knows it has support, it should move forward. mouth County Planning Board requesting that the village be enlarged from the present 22 acres to almost 2,500 acres. That is a 100-fold increase with no public input. I reviewed the April 13 agenda for the com that day the Planning Board will mittee, and the topic of Cross Acceptance was not on the public agenda. The change in the existing designation is significant. Under the state master plan, development in Planning Area 5 should be limited to protect existing natural resources such as watershed. This area in Holmdel is in the watershed for the Sw im m ing River Reservoir, the major source o f drinking water for Holmdel. A change to village status allows higher density development than presently suggested under the existing Planning Area 5. When you look at the maps being submitted with this change request, it s interesting to note that the New Village encompasses the two largest remaining tracts of undeveloped land: the almost 500-acre Chase tract and the planned Inverness development on Route 520. This change, in my opinion, puts development of these two beautiful areas on the fast track. I urge all Holmdel resident to attend the M ay 12 Planning Board meeting and let the board know your feeling on the course of Holmdel into the 21st century. RU SSELL E. DRONNE Holm del and fiscally responsible manner. We realize that all of this and more must be accomplished while ensuring every tax dollar is properly and wisely spent. To every resident, parent and taxpayer, we pledge our commitment to these campaign for demonstrating efforts that and we will continue to B o a r d w i n n e r s a p p r e c i a t e s u p p o r t We would like to thank the individuals who worked to support our support at the polls April 21. We recognize your vote is the most genuine sign of approval a candidate for the Board of Education can receive. We sincerely appreciate your confidence in our ability and that of the entire Back-to- Basics team. Over the last four years, our community has chosen Back-to- Basics candidates to fill 14 of the last 16 school board positions. This has enabled us, as professionals in our respective fields, to work more effectively as a team and to translate this effort into improved educational advantages for our students. In the past, school budgets crafted by prior boards were routinely rejected at the polls. We are thankful you approved this year s school budget, the third to have been approved in as many years. We are proud to have earned your confidence. We recognize our responsibility is to focus on improving Middletown s educational system. In striving to attain this goal, we will: continue to work with our administration in the advancement of our curriculum and the implementation of the State s Core Curriculum Standards; continue our efforts to reach an acceptable contract with our teachers in the hope of bringing closure to previously contentious negotiations; and continue to address the renovation and refurbishment of our school facilities in a professional strive to foster the best possible education for our children. It is now necessary that our community move forward, to heal the wounds that may divide some of us and for all of us to remember the reason we are here is for our children and their future.

Elementary, middle and high school students, residents from the community, even some preschoolers, came to celebrate Earth Day in a very practical way by cleaning litter from the beach. Several high school students helped Vice Chairman Frank Huza replace fencing around the dunes. Within a couple of hours, the beach looked immeasurably better. The plastic spoons, bits of Styrofoam, paper plates and other litter were gone; new fencing was in place to protect the dunes on the north side of the entrance.

The administration, the Board of Education and the C itizen s Budget Ad-Hoc Committee worked long hours to develop a fiscally sound budget that would meet the educational needs of our children. It was this effort and that of our parent groups, community volunteers and district staff that truly made the difference. For an unprecedented three years in a row, the taxpayers of Middletown have shown their support to the Middletown school district and for that the educational community thanks you. With your vote of approval, we now will have the necessary funds to continue our goals to improve the facilities at the elementary schools, reduce class size and implement the curricular improvements that will provide our children a quality education. We are a community that supports the efforts of our young people to succeed and the approval of this school budget has again clearly defined that goal. DENNIS M.

I greatly appreciate your willingness to take the time to want to get to know me and learn about me as a candidate for the school board. As I mentioned in the beginning of this campaign, I am no different from any of you. I simply made a choice to become informed, involved and vocal about our district and the decisions it was making on behalf of our children. By supporting me throughout this election, I am delighted that you have chosen to join me in making a commitment to excellence in our schools. I ask you then to remember in the potential for all of us to achieve exceptional things. I thank you again for your fantastic support. As a newly elected member of the Board of Education, I am delighted to have the opportunity to serve you with sincerity, truth and integrity. I look forward to helping our district set a course for high achievement. W ith a definite plan, a set direction and a strong commitment from all of us, we can accomplish this.

Aberdeen March 5. of Foreign Wars Post 4247 Your Turn C o n s i d e r o p t i o n s t o m a s s - s e w e r i n g There has been a variety of letters written concerning sewering the southern part of Holmdel, most of which indicate a desire for the township to either put off the decision to mass-sewer this part of town and consider other alternatives or to just consider other alternatives. Before jumping to conclusions we ought to understand exactly what s involved here. To put things in perspective, one must understand how septic systems work, why they fail and how the failures can be remedied. A home-septic system is just a vehicle to dispose of water-borne household waste which includes toilet effluent. It generally consists of a septic tank that receives the waste from the house and whose size is determined from anticipated water usage and resulting waste generation criteria. This tank contains anaerobic bacteria which are supposed to digest the solid material in the waste and turn it into liquid. It has a baffle which only permits the liquid to flow out. The liquid then flows to a dispersal unit which disperses it into the ground at a rate that the ground can absorb. Depending on the absorption rate of the subsoil, runs of lateral open-joint pipe (called laterals) or large perforated tanks (called seepage pits) were used for dispersion. The length of the laterals and the size of the seepage pits were also based on anticipated waste-water generation in the home. Purification of the Squid occurs as it filters through the various ground strata. Eventually, the liquid enters the water table and is recycled. Since the quantity of water on our planet is finite, the water we drink has been used by countless plants and animals and recycled many times through the ages. Why do septic systems fail? The main reasons are improper system location, inadequate soil testing and analysis, underdesign of the system, increase in household waste-water generation beyond the criteria used to design the system (adding an unanticipated garbage disposal unit is one example), pouring a variety of indigestible (by the bacteria) or hard-to-digest material down the drains (such as fats, oils and grease), excessive use of soaps and detergents and a rise in the water table. How can the above problems be solved? Essentially, the solutions range from a redesign of the system to meet current and anticipated future needs with appropriate reconstruction to carefully monitoring what goes down the household drains (no fats, oils or grease and a minimal amount of soaps and detergents). In the case of a water table that has risen, a worst-case solution would be to reposition the dispersal laterals to be atop a several-feet thick layer of sand topped by a layer of gravel. This is to disperse and filter the liquid before it reaches the water table. A pump might be required if the laterals are above the septic tank s effluent pipe. Obviously, the reconstruction alternatives involve a not inconsequential cost and, I suspect, herein lies the problem. It appears that homeowners faced with the GUEST COLUMN MORTON B. LIPETZ high cost of solving their problems came to the Township Committee for help. What better way to avoid the full remedial cost of a failed system than to spread it among the other homeowners. This apparently led to a committee decision not to try to solve the individual septic problems on a case-bycase basis, but to instead go for massive sewering. As a byproduct, this will pave the way for the construction of more ratables, which several committee members and others obviously desire and may well be the primary reason they favor sewers. This led to the necessity of forcing the majority of homeowners not having any problems to accept and pay a significant cost for sewers that they neither need nor want. To add insult to injury, these homeowners will then have to pay increased property taxes on this improvement, which we have been told will raise the value of their properties. One result of this strategy appears to be the purging of those well-respected and qualified members of the various township boards and commissions that do not agree and have raised their voices in dissent. Here, there can be no contradiction of the incomplete facts, suppositions and halftruths we have been given. After all, such dissent might provide fuel for those opposed to massive sewering. As I ve noted previously, there are alternatives to throwing an inordinate amount of money at the problem in a helter-skelter manner. Comparatively little money can be spent on specifically targeted individual solutions for these individual problems. The township can help by providing limited resources on a carefully monitored basis. I can t understand why this isn t being done. We can always spend relatively little money on individual problem solutions and, if that doesn t work, go to sewers later, but the reverse is not true. Once the sewer construction equipment starts to dig, it s too late to go back. It is time for the silent majority of homeowners to make known to our officials their desire to not be forced to spend their hard-earned money on this unnecessary and not-too-well-thought-out scheme. If your commuting schedule precludes attendance at the next committee meeting, as mine does, write a letter, pick up the phone and/or sign one of the petitions that are circulating demanding that this massive sewering be put on the ballot. In addition, support only those committee candidates that have our best interests at heart. Only those that are willing to carefully analyze the problem, listen to dissenting opinions, explore all of the alternatives and not be carried away by panic and pressure to act in haste deserve your vote.

17 INDEPENDENT, MAY 6, M a t a w a n, R a r i t a n t e e n s e x p l o r e I s r a e l Students share visit at Temple Beth Ahm anniversary festivities BY LINDA DeNICOLA Staff Writer A B ERD EEN Two area students spent almost two months in Israel exploring the Jewish homeland that is celebrating its 50th year of independence. The students traveled with a group called United Synagogue Youth, which is a group made up o f 34 students from throughout the country. Matawan Regional High School senior Shari Berman, 18, and Allison Cohen, 17, a senior at Raritan High School, Hazlet, are both members of the conservative Temple Beth Ahm on Lloyd Road in Aberdeen. While in Israel, Shari and Allison studied at the Alexander Muss High School in Hod Hasharon, just outside of Tel Aviv, living in a dormitory on campus. Both students attended Judaic studies class in the morning and classes in regular academic subjects in the afternoon. We even studied when we took bus trips. W e d stop somewhere and spend an hour and a half studying, Shari said. I learned all about my history and things about my religion that I really didn t know. Allison, too, learned many new things about Jewish history. If I get married and have kids, I will start earlier teaching them about Jewish traditions and rituals, she said. I would encourage them to be more observing. Shari said she saw many beautiful things. Every day stands out. I couldn t pick just one thing, she said. Before I left, I felt like an American Jew. Now I can t wait to go back and learn more about just being a Jew. Allison said she felt at home in Israel even though the language was different and the land was more mountainous. There were a lot of crazy drivers there; worse than here, she said. She has three cousins living with their family in Israel, two of them teen-agers. V i s i t M i d t o w n p o l i c e d u r i n g P o l i c e W e e k John F. Pollinger, chief of police of Middletown Township, recently announced that Police Week will be celebrated this year from May nationally. All citizens are invited to acquaint themselves with the police department and its operations during an Open House. Members of the com m unity, Boy Scouts, G irl Scouts, civic groups, students and senior citizens are invited to take this opportunity to visit police headquarters. Guided tours of the facility w ill be conducted May from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. To schedule a secured and convenient time slot, call the c h ie f s office M onday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at (732) According to Allison, teen-agers in Israel like American clothes, but they wear them very tight tight jeans and tight T-shirts, she said. Shari particularly remembered the Purim celebration that she was there for on March 12. Purim is a celebration of a time when Jews were saved from being killed. Queen Esther was instrumental in saving them, she explained. During Purim the children dress in costume. Some were dressed as Esther; some were dressed as Spice Girls. Others dressed as monsters or princesses. It s a lot like our Halloween, she said. I wanted to practice my Hebrew, but everyone I met in Israel wanted to practice English, Shari added. To Allison, the most significant thing about her trip was the friends she made. She and her friends hung out in the dorms just as if they were college students, she said. There was a sense of family. I loved everyone, Allison said. Shari also spoke about the friends she made. If I go to Israel again, I will know people and have a place to stay, she said. As part of the Temple Beth Ahm s celebration of Israel s 50th anniversary, she and Allison were scheduled Friday to speak to the congregation about their experience. I m so excited about the 50th celebration at my temple, Shari said. Both Shari and Allison planted a tree in honor of Temple Beth Ahm. In returned they were given a citation to bring back to the synagogue. Temple Beth Ahm and Temple Shalom held a joint celebration recently. There was Israeli music, foods, art and a living history session, as well as a birthday cake. At a joint service, the junior choir from both temples performed. Shari graduates in June and is planning to attend Ramapo College in Mahwah. She wants to major in elementary education, but since going to Israel, she has decided to minor in Judaic studies. She hopes to spend her junior or senior year in Israel. Allison, who also graduates in June, is planning to attend the University of Delaware, Newark. She, too, wants to major in education and is thinking about teaching math.

William Sinclair Gibson, 2 Linton Close, was indicted by a Monmouth County grand jury on one count each of vehicular assault and leaving the scene of an accident, both fourth-degree charges, one count of second degree aggravated assault, and numerous motor vehicle charges, including driving while intoxicated, according to the Monmouth County Prosecutor s Office. The two fourth degree charges each carry a potential state prison sentence of up to 18 months, while the second degree charge carries a potential of five to 10 years in state prison, according to the prosecutor s office. Gibson may also face a mandatory $1,000 fine, county jail sentence of 90 to 180 days and a 10-year driver s license suspension, if he is convicted of a third driving while intoxicated offense. The indictment stems from a Dec. 10 accident in Hazlet when Gibson allegedly struck Robert Guidice, 52, 7 Truex Place, Middletown, while driving his 1990 Cadillac Deville southbound on Palmer Avenue at 6:52 p.m. Gibson allegedly hit Guidice, who had just stepped off a bus and was walking across Palmer Avenue, between Route 36 and Verdun Place. Witnesses at the scene reported Gibson swerved into the oncoming lane of traffic before striking Guidice, who was thrown 25 feet into the air spinning like a helicopter. Guidice was thrown nearly 80 feet and sustained a fractured pelvis and knee and multiple leg, skull and facial fractures, according to the prosecutor s office. Close examination of Gibson s car revealed Guidice s keys embedded in the Cadillac s grillwork. In addition, dents in the car revealed markings, almost like fingerprints, which were matched up with fabric patterns of Guidice s clothing, according to the prosecutor s office. A small quantity of marijuana was also allegedly found in the passenger compartment of Gibson s car. According to the December police reports, witnesses to the accident also reported Gibson was traveling at a high speed at the time of the accident and did not stop after hitting Guidice. After allegedly striking Guidice, Gibson continued traveling south on Palmer Avenue and struck another car at Palmer and Mahoras avenues in Middletown, police said. After hitting the other vehicle, Gibson continued driving through Middletown where he was eventually stopped by Middletown police when he drove his car into a mailbox and a tree at Red Hill and Holland roads, according to reports. Gibson was released into the custody of Hazlet police and charged with driving while intoxicated, assault by an automobile, reckless driving, leaving die scene of an accident, and failure to report an accident, according to Hazlet Traffic Safety Officer Steven Schmidt. At the time of his arrest, Gibson s blood alcohol level was reportedly.16 percent, above the. 10 percent legal limit for driving, Schmidt said. According to police records, Gibson has been convicted of drinking-and-drivingrelated crimes five times since Gibson was convicted of driving while intoxicated in Woodbridge in 1968, in Hazlet in 1977, and in East Brunswick in 1981, according to he prosecutor s office. In 1977, Gibson s driving privileges were suspended twice administratively by the Division of Motor Vehicles for refusing to submit to a breath test, and he was convicted of refusing to submit to a Breathalyzer test in Manalapan in 1991, according to the prosecutor s office. Gibson was held on $25,000 bail and released on Dec. 10.

19 S tud e n t suspended for death w ish lis t M ID D L E T O W N A freshman at Middletown High School North received a nine-day suspension for composing a death wish list on a school computer, according to Karen Kondek, director of district communications. The letter was discovered April 29 by an English teacher who was monitoring a school printer. School officials contacted township police at 1 p.m. the same day. It is an unfortunate incident that we take extremely seriously. We are also extremely sensitized because of the recent tragedies that have occurred in schools in other states, High School North Principal Alan Feur said, referring to the shootings of classmates and staff by students at schools in Jonesboro, Ark., and Edinboro, Pa. We do take every step to ensure the safety of all of our students and staff, Feur added. The female student, whose name is being withheld, reportedly typed her wish list on a school computer on April 29, according to the police report. It was the first time the student ran into any school disciplinary problems. The letter was written as part of a class assignment requiring students to write a letter to themselves. At the end of the current school year, the assignment was to be returned to the students. It was the second time in three weeks a Monmouth County student has allegedly written a death wish list. Two weeks ago, a student at Holmdel s W illiam R. Satz School was suspended from school for creating a list naming people to kill. In addition, the Holmdel student was required to undergo psychiatric evaluation.

ABERDEEN Prompted by fears of a watered-down honors program for sixthgraders when they move to the Matawan Avenue Middle School next year, a group of parents last week petitioned the Matawan-Aberdeen Board of Education. Calling themselves the Honors Advocacy Committee, the parents say they are dedicated to the maintenance and improvement of the honors program in the township schools. They presented board members with a packet of information including a listing of the honors programs offered in surrounding school districts and citations from articles in support of grouping children of advanced ability. Matawan resident Jeff Rubin, the group s spokesman, said it formed after the sixth-grade move was announced and parents found out the honors program was to be cut back or watered down. We are nervous that the honors program is threatened, he said. According to a statement read by Rubin, the committee is concerned with the haste in which the sixth-grade move was conceived and implemented. He asked the board to provide for public review a detailed curriculum for the sixth grade and a comprehensive plan for training teachers to teach in a sixth-grade honors program. Superintendent of Schools Michael Klavon responded that we do have teachers who are trained to provide services to both ends of the spectrum. And we have already posted for teachers interested in going to the sixth grade. Klavon said the curriculum won t be any different than it has been in the past. We ll be using the same materials, he said. A newly formed program committee was scheduled to meet Friday, according to Klavon. There has to be a plan, he said. It has to be in writing. The elements are here, we just have to put them together. Klavon told Rubin that information would be available after the Friday program committee meeting.

25 6 5 - m p h tr ia l p e r i o d w i l l b e g i n M a y 1 9 BY MARY DEMPSEY Staff Writer Drivers will soon be able to move a little faster on some sections of the state s major roadways. On May 19, speed limits will increase from 55 to 65 miles per hour on 475 miles of highways throughout the state for an 18-month trial period. In addition, fines will double in the 65 mph zones. The speed increases are a result of a bill sponsored by Sen. Richard LaRossa (R-15th District) which passed in the state Senate and Assembly late last year. In January, Gov. Christine Whitman conditionally vetoed the bill, basing an approval on the 18-month trial program. The state Department of Transportation announced the new 65-mph trial program last month in response to a bill partially approved by Whitman. The number of road miles and the specific highways designated were developed in consultation with the state Legislature, according to a DOT press release. We chose highways that would safely accommodate the changes in the speed limit, DOT spokesman John Dourgarian said. At the end of the 18-month test period in October 1999, we will perform a comprehensive and thorough review of the program, with input from the state police, to ensure it has worked during the test period, Dourgarian said. Almost 100 miles of the Garden State Parkway w ill be affected by the speed limit change, from mile post (MP) 29 in Atlantic County to MP in Sayreville and from MP in Paramus to MP 172 in Montvale. The speed limit will also increase on Route 18 for about 15 miles, from Route 9 in Marlboro to Route 36 in Tinton Falls, and for 36 miles on the Atlantic City Expressway. About 100 miles of the N.J. Turnpike will also see increases, from north of Interchange 1 in Carney s Point to Interchange 13 in Linden, and on the Penn- IN BRIEF sylvania Turnpike Extension, from east of the Delaware River to the N.J. Turnpike. Other upgrades include Route 55, 34.5 miles, between Maurice and Deptford townships; Route 1-78, 47.7 miles, between Pohatcong in Warren County to Springfield in Union County. Also Route 1-80, 36.8 miles, from east of Route 94 in Warren County to west of in Parsippany-Troy Hills in Morris County; Route 1-195, 30 miles, from west of Route 130 in Hamilton Township to Route 34 in Wall. Also 1-287, 23 miles, from Route 46 in Parsippany-Troy Hills to the New York state line in Mahwah; and 1-295, 16 miles, from Carney s Point in Salem County to West Deptford in Gloucester County, and 32 miles, from Cherry Hill in Camden County to Lawrence in Mercer County.

M att Cavalier, an eighth-grader at Bayshore Middle School and a Boy Scout with Troop 140, asked the board to set aside some undeveloped parcels. He recommended the comer of Kings Highway East and Sleepy Hollow Road where seven dogwoods were planted in honor of the seven astronauts killed in the space shuttle Challenger explosion. It is overgrown now, he said. A m ong the other parcels recom mended were the sand pits, 35 acres on Route 36, and the area south of the Leonardo State Marina. M iddletow n resident W illiam M c Cormack said he had reservations about the use of condemnation to acquire properties. He suggested language in the document that stipulates it must be a willing seller. Peters responded that nobody up here wants to set up a condemnation program, but as you said, that s us (the present committee). It is very difficult to bind those who come after us. It would have to be handled when the question arises. Smith said she is also concerned about future Township Committee members who are not committed to open space. She mentioned putting deed restrictions on property to prevent later changes. McCormack questioned whether open space can encompass a parking lot or structures such as a hockey rink. My vision of open space is fields, trees, wetlands, he said, adding that it is not ball fields, recreation facilities or golf courses. Green acres is a much abused term, Peters said. It is used to signify all kinds of property that has nothing to do with the (state) Green Acres program, he said. The Green Acres program won t fund construction of a gymnasium. It will fund athletic fields or open fields with trails. It will fund some parking and comfort stations to go along with the park. According to Warters, It (the Green Acres program) will fund cutting down trees to put in a soccer field. Part of what we are hoping to find out is what people are willing to fund. The committee also polled the audience about how they would feel about a Call A.J. Perri, Inc. We will install a new Lennox heating or air conditioning system. nonbinding referendum question on the ballot in the fall seeking a 1- to 2-cent increase in taxes. According to a show of hands, most of the people at the meeting would support such an increase, which would amount to $10 to $20 more in taxes a year on a house valued at $100,000. There seems to be a core group in support of some type of an open space tax, Peters said. Raising taxes is not a popular thing to do; that s why we want to put it on the ballot as a nonbinding referendum, she said. Middletown is so huge it is difficult to get the word out, she added. People can be effective in reaching out to their neighbors. These efforts in other towns have been successful because of residents who reached out to inform their neighbors. A 1-cent tax increase would raise $454,000 under the current tax rate, Mercantante said. If used for bonding, it can raise $7 million, he added. Mercantante explained that in order to get Green Acres money, the township has to qualify. That requires having an open space and recreation plan approved by the governing body and one that conforms to the master plan. It also requires having a dedicated ftmd in place with money in it, he said. One resident suggested that the township stop issuing variances and permits that allow developers to do what they want. But Mercantante responded that the Planning Board s hands are tied in terms of prohibiting development and that New Jersey laws are geared toward development. The board can t simply say no, he said, noting that if you lose a legal battle, not only do you have to pay for it, but you have to put up with the development, too. The only way to stop development is to buy up properties, Mercantante said. If we can t buy and we can t say no, we sometimes have to be creative in using other ways like cluster development or transfer development. According to another poll of the participants at the forum, most were longtime residents who have lived in the township for more than 25 years. r i s R E E ~ i I H o n e ^ r e l l I N O M O N E Y D O W N I A i r C l e a n e r N O P A Y M E N T F O R 9 0 D A Y S With Lennox Comfort System Become an A.J.

28 INDEPENDENT, MAY 6, G u i d e t o G o o d E a t i n g Exquisite Spanish cuisine served at Los Molinos B y J o h n D o w g in Correspondent Anew gem has appeared on the local dining scene, one whose excellence should place it at the top of every area diner s to experience list. Its name is Los Molinos, its specialty is Spanish cuisine, and its results are nothing short of outstanding. Located on Georges Road in New Brunswick, on the site that most will recall as the home of the old Spinning Wheel Diner, Los Molinos, which has subnamed itself The Essence of Spain, provides just that - carefully prepared entrees, service that falls nothing short of pampering and an ambiance so rich it is almost palpable. Simply enter the obviously new and carefully decorated restaurant and the experience begins. Sparsely yet thoughtfully laid out, murals of Spanish countryside adorn some walls, carved decorations and family crests grace others. An impressive number of tables fill up a stone tile floor. Charming music, ranging from guitar ballads to recently popularized Gregorian chants, plays softly, but just audible enough to make one feel as if downtown New and North Brunswick lie an ocean away rather than just a block. Prices at Los Molinos aren t what one would call cheap, but by the same token are certainly fair. Most entrees are in the $15 to $25 range, with a few exquisite meals beyond the $40 range. As most diners are aware, one could certainly do much worse for much more. The aforementioned service begins with the wine list and does not wane until you leave. Attentive waiters answer any question, cater to any need, even lay out certain dishes, such as my dining partner s shrimp scampi, themselves. While most of the staff is a bit on the young side, and thus appear to be on the way to a senior prom rather than a career in the restaurant business, they certainly deserve an A for their effort. Meals are preceded by a soup of the S P A N IS H C U I S I N E P a t r o n s a t L o s M o lin o s c a n t r y t h e s e t e m p t in g ite m s, p a e l l a m a r i n e r a, p e c h u g a L o s M o lin o s a n d s a n g r ia.

Prepared with obvious care, the vegetables of a Los Molinos soup hang together just until they reach your mouth, at which point they practically dissolve into nothing more than a completely fulfilling flavor that encourages both your taste buds and your spoon to pick up the pace. Entrees themselves arrive with fanfare and, most importantly, live up to their entrance. A particularly delicious chicken in lemon sauce, for instance, arrives in its own impressively sized plate alongside a serving of rice and, surprisingly enough, what appear to be potato chips. But those chips are seasoned and prepared as carefully as the rest, and are not only tasty but complementary. The lemon sauce is simply heavenly, the chicken itself tender, and the combination of the two near perfect. My dining partner s shrimp scampi arrived with even greater flair, brought to our table straight from the oven and laid softly on a bed of rice before our eyes. That also proved delectable beyond expectations. Servings are so hearty that patrons probably expect to be taking tomorrow s lunch home with them. Most will find, however, that their meal was so irresistible that they re left with spotless plates and wishing there were more. There is. Fine coffee and desserts follow, one of which is a creamy tiramisu that if you re not careful, will vanish faster than any doubts you may have had about this fine restaurant. If exquisite meals are to your liking, check into Los Molinos before it becomes a household name. Los Molinos is open daily for lunch and dinner and can be reached by calling (732) C o n t i n e n t a l C u is in e I n A Q u a i n t A t m o s p h e r e 10 AM -1:30 PM Children :30 PM -8 PM Children 3-12 Ala Carte Menu Also Available C A T E R IN G FOR A L L O C C A S IO N S f/w ; s12s0 A n n ire rs a rie s.

Located on West Main Street in Freehold Borough, El Meson has become a local favorite. Like the other restaurants in the dow ntow n area, El Meson features alfresco dining in a courtyard set back from the noise of the street. The large awning threaded w ith lights sets the stage for leisurely summer meals with endless tortilla chips and salsa. If you prefer eating indoors, El Meson s decor is casual and somewhat camp w ith large sombrero lamps that say viva Mexico over cafe tables covered in brightly striped sarapes. The stucco-like wall covering is bordered by pastel tiles and decorated with trailing plants and clusters of gourds. If you wander into the back of the cafe you w ill discover a bodega where you can buy ingredients for Mexican cooking at home. The shop features everything from home-made chorizo (sausage) and fresh produce to soda and music CDs. The cuisine is Mexican, featuring the classic favorites tacos, burritos, quesadillas and enchiladas. Each entree comes w ith your choice of marinated chicken, lamb, pork, steak or chorizo. For those of you w ho do not eat meat, the super El Meson burrito loco is highly recommended. Filled w ith mixed steamed vegetables, black beans and rice, it is topped w ith Monterey Jack cheese w ith pico de gallo and guacamole on the side. El Meson also serves several fish C o p p e r M o u n t a i n s e r v e s w e s t e r n - s t y l e c u i s i n e By Jo h n P. Dowgin Correspondent Copper Mountain Steak house in East Brunswick, Route 18 s newest eatery is a blend of old-fashioned cowboy decor and modern southwestern flair. Walking into the Copper Mountain Steak house may not physically remove you from New Jersey, but it makes a valiant effort to bring your senses there for an hour or two. The restaurant, formerly known as Cutter s, has changed little physically, with an enclosed bar immediately off its entrance and a two-tiered eating area with smoking and non-smoking sections. But a rodeo s worth of cowboy memorabilia adorn the wall, and young cowpokes can even get their own hat to commemorate the occasion. Wait staff is properly equipped with denim tops and a very friendly demeanor, which simply adds to Copper Mountain s down-home feel and its comfort level. Your wallet will certainly feel comfortable as well, with the some of the most reasonable prices for a steakhouse in recent memory. All entrees, including the traditional steak dishes, range from $11.95 to $17.95, and a short but well-considered wine list complements them all. As far as appetizers, I ordered the Wings of Fire with a certain amount of fear for my not-too-spicy-please tastes, but found them to be quite tame. The salad which followed the buffalo wings was a delight, with both my partner and I commenting more than once on the delicious vinaigrette sauce and spices mixed in with the course. And then, of course, came the steak. One of the tenderest 12-ounce prime ribs you ll find in the county, done to perfection with a fine amount of care. It was certainly more than I could handle in one sitting, and our waitress knew the signs enough to wrap it up without my even having to ask her. My partner s grilled herbed chicken looked just as inviting, with a particularly thick cream sauce adorning it. That, too, proved to be too impressive a specimen for one sitting, and also took a trip home. For a delicious Southwestern meal that w ill do your taste buds and your pocketbook justice, the Copper Mountain Steak house is as far as you need to go.

El Meson salsa is a brown beef demi glaze sauce; and salsa de arbol is a hot, dry pepper sauce.

And now, here s... Amanda! What, no Rosie H. O Donnell? On April 23 viewers of The Rosie O Donnell Show were treated to a miniature version of Rosie. Her name is Amanda Mastrogiovanni and she s only 7 years old, but she s a budding talk show host if ever there was one. Amanda has wanted to be the next Rosie O Donnell since she was all of 6 years old. Her second-grade teacher, Toni Tortoriello, at the Taylor Mills School, Manalapan, certainly noticed the similarities. At school Amanda sometimes pretends to be the talk show host, and she s also the class comedienne. However, after Amanda wrote an essay stating that the person she most admired was Rosie O Donnell, Tortoriello suggested to Amanda s parents, Mary and Thomas Mastrogiovanni, that they videotape their daughter doing her talk show routine at home and send it in to the producers of O Donnell s show. About three or four weeks after we sent in the videotape, a producer called and asked if Amanda would like to be on the show, recalled Mary. Amanda said she was like whoa (for those who graduated high school prior to 1989, this is the 90 s version of very excited ) and never expected to be asked to appear with her television idol. I play Rosie O Donnell every day, Amanda said. For my 7th birthday I asked for a desk like Rosie s, which I got. I ve interviewed Vanessa Williams, the Spice Girls, Celine Dion, the Sesame Street gang, and the maker of the Easy- Bake Oven. They were really all my friends or my 4-year-old sister Ashley pretending to be those people, but I got them anyway. The producers called a second time to find out what Amanda s interests were so they could possibly incorporate one into the show. When they heard she liked using her Easy-Bake Oven, it fit the theme of the show for the week of April 20, when O Donnell would be featuring toys from the 1970s. One of the most exciting parts of her day of stardom was being driven to New York City in a limousine sent from the show. Amanda and her sister both enjoyed PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT THE UNDERSIGNED HAS APPEALED TO THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT OF THE BOROUGH OF MATAWAN FOR A VARIANCE FROM THE TERMS OF SECTION F OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE SO AS TO PERMIT AN EXCESSARY BLD.

With the moment of fame upon her, Amanda was introduced about midway through the show, and she and O Donnell were practically twins wearing matching pants outfits. After a brief interview, Amanda showed O Donnell how to bake chocolate chip cookies in an Easy-Bake Oven. Just before going to commercial, O Donnell invited Amanda to sing her favorite song, My Heart Will Go On, the theme from the movie Titanic. At first Amanda soloed, then O Donnell joined in. I was veiy nervous, Amanda said. The producers were really nice. They took me on a tour of the studio before I went on and told me what was going to happen on the show and what Rosie would ask me. But I was still shaking. Amanda also met Vanessa Williams, who was one of O Donnell s guests, backstage, as well as members of die New York Mets. She enjoyed meeting them all and said the Mets were very nice, they even took pictures with her. Rosie was very nice, I would be with her every day if I could, Amanda said. She s funny, she s pretty, she s just like me. She s everything I thought she d be. In addition to receiving tickets for her parents and sister to attend the show, Amanda also asked the producers for two extra tickets so that she could invite her teacher and her principal, Ruth Jacobson. While they all sat in the audience at the live show, Taylor Mills students and faculty watched the show on television. When Amanda went back to school the next day, her whole class had made letters of congratulations for her. Whenever I would walk down the hall I could hear kids whispering That s the girl from Rosie, Amanda giggled. Both she and her sister came home from the show with Rosie O Donnell Show denim jackets and T-shirts, and Amanda was also given a special picture of herself with O Donnell which she has already framed. Besides her obvious talent as a potential talk show host, Amanda has also been playing the piano for two years and has taken gymnastics for three years. She enjoys doing artwork and riding her bike, but nothing beats playing Rosie.

33 A u t h o r i s i n t h e s o u p Continued from page 1 how Sam might react to his new housemate. They need not have worried. The two pets developed a special bond that lasted until Sam s death in The playful friendship between the gray-and-white schnauzer and the furry gray pussy cat and the cat s reaction to Sam s death are the subject of Friends, a short essay by Karen, which is included in the new book, Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover s Soul. Released on April 20, the book is the latest in the hugely popular Chicken Soup series created by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Carol Kline and Dr. Marty Becker. Featuring short, inspirational stories, the series is designed to provide comfort and lift spirits in an often difficult world. Karen started her literary career after a poem she penned for her husband was enthusiastically received by friends who encouraged her to pursue her poetic talents professionally. W ith an address on Poet Drive, the resting place of famed Revolutionary War poet Philip Freneau, how could she lose? I have some of his spirit in me, Karen jokes. Now an accomplished poet, Karen made her first attempt at essay writing with Friends. As a contributor to Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover s Soul, she is in stellar company. Other contributors include the late Erma Bombeck and Jimmy Stewart, as well as Barbara Bush and famed author and animal lover James Herriott. (It feels) very good, Karen said recently of her part in the national best-selling series. I was very surprised, especially in my first venture. A former dance instructor who has been plagued with poor health in past years, Karen is a fan of the Chicken Soup series. The series began with the Chicken Soup for the Soul (which hit No. 1 on the New York Times Bestseller List), and now includes such titles as Chicken Soup for the Christian Soul and Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul. They re very, very heartwarming, she says of the books. They re so different. We need more of that in today s world. While animal lovers and pet owners will certainly be attracted to the latest Chicken Soup book, Karen believes it will have a much wider appeal. It s universal, she said. Everybody has owned a pet. Buoyed by her success with Friends, Karen is currently working on two more non-fiction pieces while continuing to compose poetry. With her cat Lightning also gone now, she has adopted a few new feline friends to keep her company while she writes. But Sam, Karen said, was my one and only dog.

The sale ended control of the hotel by three generations of the Daesener family, the most recent of whom are brothers Richard and August J. Daesener. According to David Reich, an agent for Prudential New Jersey Realty in Manalapan, who handled the sale, the new owners are Max Biberaj and Mike Ulaj, who have worked as manager and chef, respectively, of Sam s Place, a New York City restaurant. The new owners are taking over operation of the American Hotel s banquet rooms and Oh Brothers restaurant, Reich said. The Daeseners will maintain ownership of the apartments and office space on the east side of the building, the broker added. Biberaj, president of Hoti Inc., the company he set up with Ulaj to buy the property, said Oh Brothers w ill be renamed Cafe Bollini and will feature an Italian cuisine. We plan to install a huge pizza oven in the kitchen as well, Biberaj said. We will also continue the banquet business. Biberaj said the new owners are also planning to revive the hotel s room renting business. The hotel has not rented rooms since the 1970s. Although the upstairs section of the Poconos, Waterfalls & Wildflowers scheduled On May 13 and 16, the Monmouth County Park System w ill offer a trip, Poconos, Waterfalls & Wildflowers. The trip will depart at 8:30 a.m. from Thompson Park, Newman Springs Road, Lincroft, and will return at approximately 6:30 p.m. Participants will be taken to the mountains of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. A pay-your-own late lunch stop will be made at a moderate-priced restaurant. The cost of the trip will be $28.50 per person, and pre-registration is required. For more information or to register, call (732) or (732) for the hearing impaired. IN BRIEF Share aspriii G if t s fo r M o t h e r s D a y o r a n y day. Hyacinth and Baby Cuddlesworth and a wooden rocking chair are dear ways to express affection. They look great together, and mom will love them both. Mother s Day is Sunday, May 10 \vlv $9.99 hotel is now in very bad shape, we intend to renovate it so that we can again rent rooms, Biberaj said. We plan to be able to rent out 19 rooms when we are finished. W hile this will be the new owners first venture as the owners of a restaurant, they have had extensive experience in the operation of restaurants in New York, including Sam s Place, Biberaj said. RELATED STORY, PACE 47 Biberaj, who lives in Westchester County, N.Y., said he will be looking for a permanent residence in the Freehold area. He said the idea to buy the hotel came about quite by chance. I have a good friend living in Millstone Township, whom I was visiting a little more than a year ago, Biberaj said. He informed me that the American Hotel was for sale and I was immediately interested in buying such a business. Reich said the initial negotiations with the Daeseners for the purchase of the hotel began in May We held the first meeting with the Daeseners in the hotel on May 17, Reich said. There have been a lot of meetings and a lot of work in the last year completing the deal. Even if I never made the sale, I am glad I had the experience. This is a remarkable old building. I have never been as impressed with a building as I have with this one. I was glad to be part of the sale. Student recital to be held next Wednesday The students of chorus director Clarence Neumann at Thorne School, Middletown, are preparing for a May 13 recital highlighting music from The Wizard of Oz and a musical retrospect of the hippie era dubbed, The Age of Aquarius. The show will be a mixed media event, with emphasis on dance and dramatics, as well as choral and solo singing.

Pools, a refreshing way to spend summer days W hat better way to beat the heat than a refreshing dip in a cool pool? A pool is a great way to add excitement to the dog days of summer. But how do you know what type of pool is right for you? Considering approximately 50 percent of pools owned in the U.S. are above-ground, have you thought about one for your family? Today s above-ground pools are constructed to last longer than before and the ever-growing options in wall and liner designs mean that home owners are able to find an above-ground pool that will enhance the beauty of their home s exterior, Alan Sanderfoot, editor and associate publisher for Aqua Magazine, a pool and spa industry publication, said. As with any major household purchase, you should first consider your family s needs and requirements. Richard Rafaelli, vice president of sales and marketing for Muskin Leisure Products, a leading manufacturer of above-ground pools, suggests taking the proper steps to determine if an aboveground pool is appropriate for your family. First and foremost, you need to think about your family s lifestyle and needs. This includes considering how you entertain or how large your family is, which will affect the size and depth you select, Rafaelli said. You should also consider the amount of yard space available, and how much you want to have left when the pool is up. Additionally you should make sure to adhere to local ordinances that affect how and where your pool is installed. And, very importantly, check the immediate area for overhead and underground wires and cables safety first. Once you decide to buy an aboveground pool for your family, you ll need to determine what type of pool you want to purchase. Experts recommend the following guidelines to help you select the right pool for your family: An inflatable or vacuum-molded baby pool is a great choice for a family with infants and toddlers. These pools allow you the opportunity to safely introduce your children to water in the security of your own backyard at very little cost. Experts say that a pool with an 18 to 24 inch depth is best for children three years of age and older your child can sit with his head above water and have plenty of splash room. A 12 round pool with a 36 inch depth, packaged with the accessories from filter to ladder, is ideal for families with children ranging from ages 5 through 10. The Quick Swim by Muskin is a great choice, with a selection of attractive sidewall designs to choose from. And for families with children ages 5 to 13, a 42 inch sidewall, such as the Muskin Niagara or Lakewood, is the best option. Family sized pools offer a great option for any family with children in their pre-teens and older. Choices include 48 or 52 inch depths and variety of shapes, dimensions and designs. Looking for a family-sized pool that is technically sophisticated, and different than the typical above-ground pool? Ovation, The Raised Pool Company, is a great alternative that is taking the aboveground pool category to the next level. Ovation offers the Palladian and Classic series, each featuring a distinct design and color. Ovation s innovative technologies, including the S3 and SnapLock Systems, reduce hardware and allow for quick, easy installation. Above-ground swimming pools are sold through mass retailers as well as specialty pool stores. Visit select Sears or Meijers stores to find family-sized Muskin pools or Service Merchandise and Leslie s for packaged pools. The Internet is also a great source of information. Check out these sites: and Once you ve purchased your aboveground pool it will take anywhere from an hour to three days to prepare your site, install and fill, depending on the size and style you select.

The days of serving just hot dogs and peanuts are long gone and so are die days of only buying a simple pennant as a souvenir. For example, this year at Turner Field in Atlanta, Ga., there s something for everyone. Fans with an appetite can dine at the Chop House Restaurant, famous for its authentic barbecue. Young fans can check out Tooner Field, a special concession and play area for children provided by the Cartoon Network. Shop-a-holics can visit the 5,000 square feet retail store that offers a complete selection of Braves and MLB merchandise everything from team jewelry to luxurious leather jackets. In Denver, Colo., ARAMARK offers Rockies fans everything from Buffalo dogs and Buffalo burgers to Buffalo brat (bratwurst) and Rocky Mountain oysters. Coors Field also houses Rounders Restaurant at The Sandlot Brewery, the first micro-brewery located inside a sporting facility in the U.S. ARAMARK chefs at Los Angeles, Calif.. Dodger Stadium are serving West Coast favorites, including taquitos, bunitos, sushi and Yoshinoya, as well as health-conscious items such as garden burgers, pasta and vegetarian lasagna. Baltimore s Oriole Park at Camden Yards features former O s star Boog Powell s Barbecue and Pit Beef, as well as fine dining at the Camden Club restaurant. Oriole fans can also choose from shrimp, crab cakes, rockfish and turkey burgers. ARAMARK is participating in the Taste of the Majors program by serving local food items indigenous to each visiting team. For example, baseball fans at Turner Field will taste fish tacos when the San Francisco Giants are in town, grilled Dodger Dogs when the Los Angeles Dodgers take the field and Bison beef hot dogs to welcome the Colorado Rockies. ARAMARK s Sports & Entertainment division is the leading provider of catering, public food, recreation, facility design, retail merchandising services and lodging at more than 70 professional sports facilities, 18 convention centers and national state parks, resorts and tourist attractions.

Housed on Brookdale Community College campus, Lincroft, the museum offers educational opportunities for every age and unique ways to learn about different historical time periods. For example, children 6 and under can explore the sea in the WonderWing gallery. The gallery opened April 15, We needed a place for little kids w ith a museum atmosphere, Cathy Jahos, assistant to the director, said. ' Described as an interactive creative environment, WonderWing allows children to explore the ocean. With a maritime setting there are many stations for learning. A pirate ship with a sale, helm and galley; a coral reef full of marine creatures; a waterfall which cascades into a water play area; a kelp forest, tree house and Tiki Theater all provide endless opportunities for creative play, according to the museum. Throughout WonderWing, visitors can appreciate the hand-painted murals and tokens of appreciation from school children who visited the museum with their class. It s am azing how mothers keep bringing the little ones back, Jahos said. Come explore with us... over 3 5 hands-on educational activities for children!

Two staff members will give your partygoers a tour of WonderWing. The cost for 20 children and four adults is $225 for museum members and $250 for non-members. Included in the cost are two experienced staff members, paper products, a goodie bag with an ocean theme for each child and a craft the child has made to take home as a remembrance. Parties are held only on Wednesdays from 3-'30-5:30 p.m. O lder children can spend hours exploring the Changing Cultures exh ibition in the Sherburn M. Becker Children s Wing. The exhibit chronicles the Lenape to the urban age and will remain open until June.

As you enter the children s wing visitors are greeted by striking murals depicting settings of the Lenape, Colonial and Victorian family done by Nancy Gosnell Carling, Fair Haven. Throughout the tour, visitors are asked to think critically and test their knowledge. Children have the opportunity to try on clothes from each period, spend time inside a wigwam, where the Lenape Indians lived, and handle different objects from each time period. Similar to the WonderWing, visiting schools are sent educational material to supplement the exhibition. However, if you miss the opportunity to visit Changing Cultures, the museum will open Buried Treasure: The Search for the Missing Tomb, from October through August This archeological adventure involving maps, signs and symbols will lead young adventurers on an imaginary quest over oceans, seas and rivers to an exotic land. The exhibition will reinforce geography skills such as global orientation, map reading, distance measuring and direction finding. If art is your preference, an exhibition titled Contemporary Color: W ork on Paper is on display until June 7. Guest curator Ann W illiams, a painter and printmaker, has gathered works by 26 contemporary artists working on paper w ho use color-space as the central expression of their ideas. Starting June 14 through July 19, Roy Crosse: Out of My Head exhibition will be on display. It s described as a traveling exhibition of 18 large-scale works on paper derived from Caribbean fold tradition. For information, call (732)

In the Garden State journey to Washington s headquarters, battlefields, colonial-era taverns and homes, historic stagecoach routes, and communities proud of their colonial heritage. Visit Fort Lee Historic Park where the invasion of New Jersey began in November The Continental troops retreat, from their perch on the Palisades, led them past New Bridge Landing, now a historic site in River Edge. Here find the Steuben House and learn about the lives of the Jersey Dutch. One of the major turning points of the war was the Battle of Trenton. On Christmas Night 1776 General George Washington led the troops across the icechoked Delaware River and suprised the Hessians quartered in Trenton. Find out about this pivotal battle at the Old Barracks Museum in Trenton and relive this momentous occasion during the annual reenactment at Washington Crossing State Park in Titusville. Walk To fo llo w in George Washington s victo rious p a th, s ta rt a t W ashington C rossing State P ark in T itusville where, on C hristm as n igh t 1776, W ashington's troops landed fo r the march on the Hessian garrison at Trenton. through the Mill Hill Historic District in Trenton the site of the second Battle of Trenton. On January 3,1777, the British suffered another defeat at the Battle of Princeton. Tour Princeton Battlefield State Park and the Thomas P. Clarke House, then drive to Morven the home of Richard Stockton, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. In National Park, Red Bank Battlefield was the site of the October 1777 fight for the Delaware River. The Whitall family home, which is still standing, was used as a hospital. Ann Whitall, a Quaker, cared for both the wounded American and Hessian soldiers. In June of 1778 the Americans won another important victory on New Jersey soil, the Battle of Monmouth. It was during this battle, the longest of the Revolution, that the Americans put their new fighting methods into practice and Molly Pitcher stepped up to fire her husband s cannon after he was hit by gunfire. Each year the battle is reenacted and there are living history demonstrations, tours of the 18th century Craig House, and special exhibits at the Visitor Center. One of the harshest winters of the war was spent in Morristown. At Jockey Hollow see the type of huts the soldiers lived in during that brutal season as blizzards raged on and supplies barely trickled into the encampment. General George Washington set up his headquarters in many homes across the state. These include the Ford Mansion in Morristown, the Dey Mansion in Wayne, the Wallace House in Somerville, and Rockingham in Rocky Hill where Washington wrote his Farewell to the Armies while the Continental Congress met nearby at Nassau Hall in Princeton. During colonial times taverns were one of the social centers of the communities. Travelers were welcomed with a meal and the latest news from across the colonies was shared. Throughout New Jersey many of these same taverns are still serving up good food and conversation as they have for over two hundred years. Drive through the state on roads once used as stagecoach routes and military transport roads during the American Revolution. Pass through towns where clusters of colonial-era homes and historic churches point out old town centers. Journey through New Jersey for a look back at the birth of a nation.

75 INDEPENDENT, MAY 6, TENDING TO THE ANIMALS Bob SpiUman takes care o f his dw arf horse Mighty Mouse at his Conmack Lane home in Manalapan. Spillman and his wife Janine provide petting zoo and pony ride parties. (Jackie Pollack/Greater Media) Farm a n im a ls liven up k id s b irth d a y p a rtie s B y E ile e n K o u t n ik Special Sections Editor Looking to spice up your child s birthday party this year? Consider having a few farm animals pay a visit. Janine and Bob Spillman will come to your house for miniature horse and petting zoo parties. A petting zoo party costs $125. For this cost, children learn about the animals and see firsthand miniature lambs and pot-bellied pigs. The Spillmans also have rabbits and box turtles. You can also choose a horse party for $150. The Spillmans have two miniature and two dwarf horses. Combined petting zoo and pony rides cost $225. Although the Spillmans have had the horses for three years, this is the first year they are doing a major campaign. My husband has always been fascinated with farm animals. He loves animals so much. Not many people around here have the land we have, Janine Spillman said. H E A T H E R H IL L S C H O O L R E G I S T E R NOW!

We don t know anyone with miniature horses. We had to go to South Carolina to purchase them. The dwarf horses are only 26 inches high. The children think they are the most amazing thing. She said her husband spends approximately 90 minutes at a party. A free photo is taken of every child. The larger horses carry up to 75 pounds. We really stress the weight limit. When some kids are going for a ride others are playing with the dwarf horses, Spillman said. He (Bob) really wants the child to have a great time. Sometimes it takes a child a while to warm up to the horses, she said. It s really not a job for him; it s more like a hobby, Spillman added. As for future animal purchases, Spillman said her husband is looking into buying a cow and miniature pygmy goat. For a complete brochure, call (732) ST.

O n May 20 Godzilla returns to the big screen. A blind flash of light fills the sky above the French Polynesian islands. The Pacific O cean churns, engulfing a super tanker with wicked speed. Giant footsteps plow an ominous path through miles of Panamanian forests and beaches. Ships off the U.S. coats capsize, dragged into an inexplicably roiling sea where they are instantly demolished.

77 INDEPENDENT, MAY 6, S ix F la g s W ild S a fa ri w e lc o m e s n e w a n im a ls Springtime signals a time for birth, and at the Six Flags W ild Safari Animal Park, Jackson, safari officials are celebrating all that s new and exciting for the Safari in The Safari, considered a tremendous state resource for anim al and w ildlife preservation, is home to an array o f new babies this season. Throughout the Safari, animals of all shapes, sizes and species are welcoming their young. Among the new additions are: six scimitar-homed oryx; two kudus a southern white rhino; two giraffes; 10 baboons; 10 blackbucks and eight kangaroos. In addition to births, the Safari is welcoming three new creatures to its family. B r a z i l i a n t a p i r. An anim al from South America, the tapir is a close relative of the horse and rhino. They have a coarse brown hair coat and a stocky build with short legs. One unusual feature is their proboscis-like upper lip and nose. They are a water-loving species w ith a lifespan o f up to 30 years, and Six Flags is proud to welcome two tapirs to its family. They can be found in the South American section of the Safari. M a ra b o u s t o r k. A large scavenging bird, the Marabou stork has a dark gray back and feathered wings with w hite secondary feathers and a downy-white underside. The head is bald and a large in flatab le pouch hangs from its throat. These storks populate a large po rtio n o f Africa south of the Sahara desert, and at the Safari, the new Marabou stork will live in the African Plains section. S a c r e d i b i s. A m igrating bird whose origins include Africa south of the Sahara, North Yemen and Southern Iraq, the sacred ibis is a general feeder including small mammals, bird eggs and carrion in its diet. At the Safari, the eight new sacred ibis w ill reside on. the African Plains. To assist guests in gaining the best view of the Safari s new babies, Baby Animal Alert signs have been placed along the journey to alert guests that babies are near. This is an excellent opportunity to see mothers teaching the art of survival to their young, and provides a wonderful photo opportunity to guests. In 1998, the Safari s Elephant/Rhino section is undergoing a massive expansion project. Commemorating 25 years that the original herd of elephants has lived in the Safari, park officials are overseeing the expansion of the elephant exhibit. As one of the Safari s most popular sections, the elephant section is nearly doubling its size from 4.5 to 7 acres in order for the herd to enjoy an even larger area to live, play and relax. This also means that Six Flags guests will have a better opportunity to view the elephants in their simulated natural habitat. Safari officials are also eagerly anticipating the birth of two elephant calves. W ith a gestation period of 23 months, the Safari staff has plenty of tim e to prepare for this rare and momentous occasion. The first and last elephant birth occurred in the Safari in 1981 when Keana named after the former governor of New Jersey, Tom Kean was born. His birth further united the herd, as the whole group helped to raise him. Keana was the third African elephant born in the United States and his mother Tanya is once again expecting. Six Flags W ild Safari Animal Park, the largest drive-through Safari outside of Africa, is located adjacent to the theme park. More than 1,200 animals roam the 350-acre w ildlife preserve. The Safari opens at 9 a.m. and closes at 4 p.m. each day the theme park is operating.

If you re planning to go off camping, jet-skiing or dirt-biking, here s some advice on how to make your adventures more hassle-free and enjoyable. Before you set off, you need to load your equipm ent as efficiently and securely as possible. The following are some precautions you should take: First, make sure you w on t be obscuring your rear view. If you are pulling a large trailer, it s a good idea to get extended side mirrors that let you see around whatever it is you re pulling. Also, if you re pulling a small, flatbed trailer, be prepared for adverse weather. Cover camping equipment and motorcycles with a waterproof tarpaulin to keep them dry. It s also very important that everything is loaded properly and securely before you set off. Not only can you risk damaging your equipment by being illprepared, but improperly loaded equipment may fall and cause a serious road accident. Restraints can help keep things together. For lightw eight items, AlliedSignal s FRAM 6 Cambuckle Tie Downs are a smart choice. They have a rated capacity of 1,000 pounds, a sturdy cambuckle assembly and are coated with water-repellent Dupont Teflon. This makes them resistant to abrasion, helping prevent wear and tear. For larger, heavier items such as motorcycles and jet skis, try FRAM 16 Ratchet Tie Downs. These have a rated capacity of 1,400 pounds, are also coated with Teflon, and have strong ratchet fasteners to make sure your equipment is as secure as possible. If you re planning to blaze your Own trail, be prepared to get yourself out of some tricky situations. Off-roaders should take along either chains or strong tow straps such as durable, water-repellent FRAM Tow Straps. These straps are extra tough and can be used to get you back on the road in no time at all.

79 INDEPENDENT, MAY 6, A m e r i c a n H o t e l t r a c e s F r e e h o l d r o o t s t o BY DICK M ETZGAR S ta ff W rite r FREEHOLD The operation of an inn on the site where the American Hotel now stands on East Main Street dates back to 1824, according to a report prepared by Gail Hunton for the Monmouth County Park System and the Monmouth County Historical Association. The American Hotel, a popular landmark in the borough s downtown, was featured in the News Transcript s series on historic buildings in Western Monmouth County in July Three generations of the Daesener family, most recently Augie and Richard, have been involved with operating the hotel, restaurant and banquet business. According to a story in the old Freehold Transcript, the hotel had had 19 owners by Probably no building has paralleled the growth of the borough during the 19th and 20th centuries more so than the American Hotel. Even though it has undergone numerous additions and renovations since its construction in the early 1800s, the hotel is still one of the most significant historic structures in the county seat. Although the hotel has not rented rooms since the 1970s, its new owners, New York restaurateurs Max Biberaj and Mike U laj, have indicated that the upstairs portion of the hotel will be renovated so that the hotel can once again cater to overnight boarders. According to Hunton s report, the American Hotel is one of Monmouth County s oldest operating inns and is the IN BRIEF borough s only remaining early hotel. John I. Thompson bought the property where the hotel stands on Oct. 23, 1824 from the Rev. John Woodhull, a prominent local minister, for $750. Hunton speculated that Thompson opened an inn on the site in 1824 and operated it as Monmouth Hall. Some 18 years later, James P. Crawford purchased the inn for $4,500. In 1861 the property was valued at $12,000; that figure had risen to $ 15,000 by the end of the Civil War in There was a succession of owners in the 19th century, including David C. Conover, who bought the hotel in 1843, and Joseph G. Stillwell, apparently the person who enlarged the structure and renamed it the American Hotel. Among the other owners were J.L. Huntsinger, John C. Cox, Abner L. Reed, Moses M. Laird and William Davis. The adjacent Mission Style east wing was built in 1928 from the plans provided by Long Branch architect Leon Cubberly. The hotel was remodeled again in The outdoor cafe operation was added in the 1980s.. The Daeseners involvement in the hotel began in 1916 when John Von Bargen and the Daeseners grandfather, August Daesener, bought the hotel. Daesener died six years later and Van Bargen eventually married Daesener s widow. When Von Bargen died in 1939, his stepson, August H. Daesener, took over the ownership of the hotel. After his death in 1972, Richard, and later, August J. Daesener, would take over its operation. M u s ic a l g ro u p s t r i u m p h i n Q u e b e c Two of Christian Brothers Academy, Lincroft, musical groups traveled to Quebec, Canada, recently to participate in the Quebec Classic Music Festival and Adjudication. Rhythm and Blue, the jazz choir, and the CBA Jazz Band, an instrumental ensemble, performed for professional adjudicators from universities throughout the United States and Canada. In its first year of participation, the Jazz Band was awarded a rating of excellent. In its second year of participation, Rhythm and Blue was awarded a rating of superior, the highest rating. All CBA ensembles are noncredit, volunteer organizations that rehearse once a week after school. In order to earn ratings, CBA was placed in competition with high schools that offer credit for participation in musical ensembles and rehearse each day for at least an hour. CBA was the only school participating from Monmouth or Ocean counties.

85 INDEPENDENT, MAY 6, YESTERYEAR The Independent invites its readers to take a step back in time. We hope this weekly feature will enable people to learn and enjoy the rich history of Northern Monmouth County YEARS AGO The war between the United States and Spain has resulted in calling out about 300 Monmouth county men, who are now preparing to go to the front when needed. One of the members of Freehold company is Edward Taylor, son of Henry C. Taylor of Middletown. The schools of both Keyport and Matawan were closed in order that the school children might see their soldiers off. Fully two thousand people were at the station when they embarked for the state camp at Sea Girt. The men marched from the armory at Keyport to the station at Matawan. The boys of Keyport took up a collection to buy powder, and the public cannon of Keyport was hauled out of its resting place. An effigy of Weyler, the former head of the Spanish army in Cuba, was prepared, and this was set up and shot full of holes. When the effigy was so tom to pieces that it could not be kept in place, it was tied to a tree and burned. One of the fanners worst enemies at this season of the year is the crow. This bird not only digs up newly-planted grain, but also kills young chickens. Last week a large number of young chickens owned by Edward Francis and Garrett Conover of Holmdel were killed by crows. Farmers say that the crows do not come near the chicken yards, but wait around in the fields until the hen and her young have wandered away from the rest of the flock, when they swoop down on the little chickens and usually kill three or four of them before they can gain the protection of the mother s wings. The crows will rarely attack a hen. 75 YEARS AGO The Matawan school trustees voted last week to give the teachers at that place an increase of five percent in their salaries. Thieves visited David Soffel s farm near Lincroft one night last week. They stole a pig weighing 150 pounds which was in a field, and they broke into Mr. Soffel s garage and removed from an automobile two tires, a self starter and batteries. They got away safely with their booty and they have not yet been caught. 50 YEARS AGO The Middletown township school board tonight is expected to award bids for waterproofing of the high school, the first step in the $160,000 repair program to the building. Last Thursday night the board passed a resolution to float bonds for the necessary funds. The board contended that all the large scale operations, such as the heating system and the waterproofing, should begin as soon as possible and continue through the summer so that the work will not interfere with the fall session of school. The Citizen s Advisory committee to the board was given a vote of thanks for its interest and for obtaining a school survey from Dr. H. H. Linn of Columbia university- Dr. Linn said that the high school needs new floors, greatly improved artificial lighting, repairs to the heating plant and painting, both interior and exterior.

91 INDEPENDENT, MAY 6, Spo rts D e f e n s e k e y s R e d R a i d e r s t u r n a r o u n d BY W ARREN RAPPLEYEA S ta ff W riter Thanks to an 8-2 start, the Keyport High School baseball team is tied for first place in the Shore Conference s Class C North division and has already qualified for the Central Jersey Group I state playoffs. The Red Raiders have five players hitting.400 or better, but coach Sal Principe credits improved defense for his team s turnaround from a mark a year ago. We were sloppy on defense last season, the coach explained. That s just not the case anymore. Balls that would drop in or that we would have missed last year are now being turned into outs. Center fielder Ryan Bechtoldt and left fielder Jesse Cardoza have proven to be top-notch fly-chasers. John Medina, who mans the hot comer, has been outstanding, according to Principe, and the double play combo of second baseman Tim Flynn and shortstop Rich Malinowski has been solid as well. Catching, a question mark coming into the campaign, has become a plus thanks to the defensive play of Mike Cermak and Paul Kerwin, who have split the work. Cardoza, out of the ninth spot in the order, has been blistering opposing pitchers with a.581 average. The sophomore standout has whacked three homers and leads the team with 19 RBI. Mike Martisch is at.455 with eight RBI, and Medina also is hitting.455. Flynn has quietly worked his average to.417, adding six walks and seven RBI, to go along with a team-leading 10 runs. First baseman Joe Barbara, another soph, has a pair of homers, 14 RBI and an even.400 average. After a slow start, Malinowski is coming around as is now batting.387. On the mound, Principe has deviated from his past formula and is using his top two pitchers, Medina and Malinowski, primarily as relievers, hoping that they can affect the outcome of more games that way. Medina is 2-1 with a pair of saves and a 2.10 ERA, while Malinowski is 1-0 with one save and a 3.65 ERA. Martisch has done well as a starter, compiling a 2-0 record with a 2.63 ERA, and sophomore Chris Blashfield, has been called up from the junior varsity to start on several occasions. He responded by going 2-0 with a 2.27 ERA. I m trying something new this year and it s been working for us, Principe said. If we can get 4-5 innings out of Mike (Martisch) and Chris (Blashfield), I can bring in Medina or Malinowski to finish the game. Among the Red Raiders key wins are victories over long-time rival Rumson- Fair Haven and the Highlands Henry Hudson Regional. Against Hudson, Medina delivered a two-out single to drive home the game-winner in the bottom of the seventh. CLOSE CALL Keyport s Dave Gromoldi tries to keep hold of the ball as Asbury Park s Mike Williams hits the dirt in their game last week. Below, Mike Martisch goes to the plate in the Red Raiders 14-3 thumping of the Blue Bishops. And Keyport is learning to hang in games, as evidenced by an extra inning win over Keansburg. After loading the bases with no outs in the eighth inning, and putting two men aboard in the ninth, and failing to score both times, the visitors pushed across two runs in the top of the tenth. The Red Raiders, who refused to hang their heads, rallied for three as Medina again singed in the winning run. That comeback was important because last season we just couldn t put teams away, Principe said. This time we kept at it until we won. That was a big win for us, it gave us a lot of confidence. Another confidence-booster has been the presence of former Keyport player Steve Langan, who played for the Red Raiders 1993 Group I championship team. Now a member of the Kean College team, Langan was red-shirted following a rotator-cuff injury that shelved him for the season. In the meantime, he s serving as a volunteer assistant to Principe. For the past 12 years I ve been in the dugout all by myself, Principe said. It s nice to have someone else on the bench whom the players respect, and Steve is a link to our past success. Principe added that Rob Stetz, the new jtinior varsity coach, has made his team competitive by developing players such as Blashfield. (Jackie Pollack/Greater Media)

SHREWSBURY H I E Y O U R T U C J H a w k s 1 7 s c a p t u r e s t a t e t i t l e BY NEIL S C H U M A N Staff Writer Success seems to follow the Central Jersey Hawks 17-year-old boys basketball team wherever it goes. Last year, this group won the New Jersey State Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) 17-year-old championship and finished second in the AAU National tournament. This year the Hawks survived a field of 27 teams to repeat as state champs. The team s championship drive culminated with a win over the New Jersey Roadrunners on April 26. The Roadrunners featured All-State senior Dahntay Jones of Hamilton East (Steinert) High School, who will attend Rutgers University next season. Jones scored 23 points in the championship game, but the Hawks had an answer in the form of 6-foot-7 Sean Axani of Red Bank Regional High School. Axani poured in 24 points and pulled down eight rebounds. Christian Brothers Academy s (Middletown) Andy Toole has 14 points and Axani s 6-foot-10 high school teammate Tahj Holden had 13 points, nine rebounds and blocked two shots. Holmdel High School guard David Klatsky had 10 points and eight assists, while fellow Hornet Brian Snodgrass added 11. The team was also spurred by the efforts of Holmdel s Adam Fleischner and Vinnie McKeever, Hopewell Valley s Brad Billmeier, Chris Adams of Pennington Prep School, Sean Feeney of Manasquan and CBA s Doug Loveland of Oceanport. The competition included PPY of East Orange, featuring Seton Hall Prep s Brandin Knight, the brother of Brevin Knight of the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Hawks, who have played together in AAU competition since they were 12- year-olds, have now won six state AAU titles in seven years. This win qualifies the Hawks for the National AAU Tournament, which will be. played in Orlando, Fla., in July. After finishing second in last year s 16- year-old Nationals, the Hawks played up by taking part in the 17-year-old Nationals as well. So nothing they see this year should intimidate them. While winning championships is a way of life for this group, it s only part of the picture, according to coach John Rivera. The nucleus of this team has been together for a long time, said Rivera, who coaches the team along with Charlie Hawthorne. We have a no-frills, no-star approach in which everyone plays their role for the betterment of the whole. This is Chris Adams first year with the team and the way the other kids adopted him and helped make him fit in is a sight to see. The goal here is to have fun, and everyone understands that there are sacrifices involved. I just want to help all of these kids move on to the next level and get them all placed in the best possible college situations, not just the Division I kids, all of them. Toole and Adams have already received NCAA Division I scholarships to Elon College in North Carolina. Both players were recruited based on their play in last year s AAU Nationals in Greensboro, N.C. The week after they signed with Elon, we were in Connecticut, and coaches from several schools asked me about them, but I had to tell them that they were too late, Rivera said. Axani, Holden and Klatsky will be the prize catches in this year s group. A ll three are highly regarded by Division I coaches. At the team s first workout this season, a large group of Division I coaches were present.. In addition to the Nationals, the Hawks will participate in the Bob Gibbons Memorial Day Tournament, which will be held over the Memorial Day weekend at Duke University s Cameron Indoor Stadium and the University of North Carolina s Dean Smith Center. They will also host their own tournament over the Fourth of July weekend, which will feature top AAU teams from around the nation. We ll bring in at least seven or eight state championship teams and play from Thursday to Sunday, Rivera said. It s more than just basketball. We take them sightseeing to places like the Statue of Liberty and other places many of them have never seen. It s all about having fun.

93 INDEPENDENT, MAY 6, K e a n e s C o l t s f a c e Alarm System t o u g h t e s t t h i s w e e k BY NEIL SCHUMAN Staff Writer This week, the Christian Brothers Academy (Middletown) tennis team will be put to the test. The Colts marathon five-match schedule reads like a Who s Who in Shore Conference tennis. On Monday they were scheduled to host Manalapan. Yesterday s match was at tough Middletown South. Today they take on first-place (Class A North) Ocean and tomorrow they travel to perenial Shore Conference power Marlboro. Such is life in the highly competitive Class A North, the division that houses five of the Shore Conference s top 10 teams. I think we re still in the middle of the pack in Class A North, CBA coach Dan Keane said. We re beating the teams we re supposed to beat and playing well against the top teams, so I m really pleased. We ve beaten the lower-level teams, and now we re in our second go round, but we still have to go against Manalapan and Ocean for the first time. Manalapan beat us twice last year, and they have most of their kids back. Hopefully we ll be in every match against them. The Colts (6-3, 5-2 Class A North) have already faced Marlboro (7-3, 6-2) and lost an extremely close 3-2 match that went down to a third set in first doubles. When Friday rolls around, things will get even tougher. The Colts opponent will be undefeated Holmdel, the team that eliminated them from the Shore Conference Tournament. The matchpacked week is the result of a rainout and a rescheduling due to a Shore Conference G o v. W h i t m Tournament match. But the Colts will deal with their tough schedule knowing that they ve already qualified for the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association Tournament. We were disappointed that we didn t get into the states last year, so we re pretty upbeat that we re back in this year, Keane said. Monsignor Donovan (Toms River) w ill probably be the No. 1 seed in South Jersey Parochial A, and they ll be the favorite to win the tide. Senior Dave Nagle has the unenviable task of holding down the lead singles spot, which means having to play the best of the best every time out. And so far, he s posted a very respectable 5-4 record. Up-and-coming freshman Ivan Eno s 7-2 record at second singles has Keane excited. Ivan is a tennis kind of kid who does all of the extra things like taking lessons and playing year round, Keane said. He s from a tennis family. His father, Peter, is a tennis pro. A great deal of this program s future will ride on Ivan. The steady play of junior third singles player Mike Keaveney also bodes well for the future. Keaveney is 8-1. Senior doubles player Rich Robinson has been a mainstay of the team for three seasons. Sophomore Bill Bastan is now Robinson s partner at first doubles and the pair is 5-0, including a win over Middletown South s tandem. Keane has tried several combinations at second doubles before settling on senior John D Agostino and freshman Clayton Orrigo. Next to Ivan Eno, Clayton has been our top freshman, Keane said. a n lo s e s a p h o t o f i n i s h a t F r e e h o l d N.J. Gov. Christine Whitman knows a little something about close races. On April 24, in a special exhibition harness race at Freehold Raceway, Whitman lost a photo finish to -state Assemblyman Christopher Kip Bateman (R-16th District). Bateman, Whitman and state Secretary of Agriculture Arthur Brown Jr. competed in the one-mile exhibition race in jogging carts to support Freehold Raceway s Breast Cancer Awareness Day. The race featured a purse of $2,000 from the raceway and Standardbred Breeders and Owners Association of New Jersey that was donated to the American Cancer Society. Bateman took the lead out of the gate with Legislative Rule and led the race the entire way. However, Whitman closed quickly with Chief Executive in the stretch, and it took a photo finish print to declare Bateman the winner in 2:13.4. Bateman, who drew the rail, followed his prerace strategy. I told everyone that I was going to take the lead and not look back, and that s what happened, Bateman said. Governor Whitman was closing so fast I thought she had won it. So had Whitman. I really thought I had won it, Whitman said. I even started to head back to the winner s circle until the race was made official. It was an exciting race, and I give Kip Bateman credit for hanging on to win it. I was happy to be a part of this special day devoted to Breast Cancer Awareness, she added. I also enjoyed competing in the race and am glad to be able to support the great sport of harness racing. Someone asked me about a rematch, and I m ready for it. The fourth race, the Breast Awareness Pace, featured only women drivers with fillies and mares. Toni Rose scored an impressive win in 2:01.1 with Live Wire Hanover. Jules Jodoin won her ninth straight race, capturing the second of the $15,000 elimination division of the Guys&Dolls Pacing Series. Jim Morrill Jr. drove the mare to the win in 1:55.1.

DeFelice Sr. Memorial Race of Champions on Sunday, April 19, at 1:00 in the Circle Chevrolet Showroom located at 641 Shrewsbury Avenue, Shrewsbury. The event, which benefited the Boy Scouts of America, featured the best racers from each category of Weeblos, Cub and Tiger Scouts, drawing from 44 Packs from Aberdeen to Long Branch. The idea for the Race of Champions was conceived by the DeFelice Family after their nephew, Thomas (who was named after his grandfather), began Cub Scouts and racing in the Pine Wood Derby. As young children, the DeFelice brothers would race at Soap Box Derby coaster car race on Tower H ill Road in Red Bank which was sponsored by Circle Chevrolet. Today, due to the expense of insurance and the dangers of full size coaster racing, these events are just memories from the past. In honor of their father and the great times they had, the DeFelice brothers organized this annual event. The top three individuals from each pack participated for the coveted Grand Champion Trophy, as well as Mongoose BM X Bikes from The Peddler, Red Bank. Various other prizes and giveaways were provided by Hobby Master's of Red Bank. Also, each participating Scout received a T-shirt (silk-screening provided by Athlete's Alley of Shrewsbury) commemorating the event.

BY NEIL SCHUMAN Staff Writer O ver the years, the Matawan Regional High School boys track and field program has developed a reputation of excellence. This year s edition of the Huskies is one of the youngest groups to represent the school in quite some time, but it has extended that reputation as it gains experience. When the Huskies lost to Monmouth Regional a few weeks back, it was the first dual meet loss for Matawan in eight years. The Huskies had to operate shorthanded that day because the meet was held over spring break and several key team members were away on vacation. But with a little help, Matawan still has a chance to claim a share of the Class B North title. If Red Bank beats Monmouth yesterday, the three schools will be in a three-way tie for first place in the division. Senior sprinter/hurdler Tony Chatman has been the team s guiding force. He s been holding us together, coach Sam Turner said. Pole vaulting has always been a strong suit at Matawan, but injuries have taken their toll on this year s vaulting squad. Senior Nick Giaculli has been suffering from an ankle injury all season and may have to be placed in a cast. Freshman Chris Cashin has a dislocated elbow. Senior Jin Wu has been the Huskies top vaulter and has been joined in relay meets by pole vaulting newcomer sophomore Dan Baldwin. Sophomore Chris Dapolito, who played baseball as a freshman, has excelled at javelin. His toss of is the best this season in a Shore Conference dual meet. Dapolito has also done some high jumping and hurdling., Chris is a tremendous athlete; one of the best who has never come out for track and field before and we re thrilled to have him, Turner said. He still has a lot to leam, especially with the tipped javelin being used these days. A lot of records that were set before the use of the tipped javelin will never be broken. Junior Dave'Schneider has teamed with Dapolito to give Matawan a strong javelin relay. Senior Hans Vear has throws of 145 and 150 feet in his first track and field season. Senior Shane Vergari and junior Bob McGuinness have made the Huskies tough to beat in the weight events. The pair has finished first in both discus and shot put at every relay in which they ve competed. Shane had an outstanding indoor season and finished third in the state in shot put, Turner said. Now he s starting to come around outdoors. On Saturday (at the Long Branch Relays) he had a throw over 58 feet, on which he fouled, but just barely. Bob McGuinness weighs about 190 pounds and he s up against guys that are 250 to 260 pounds every time out. Sophomore Stephan Pluviose has had throws of 45 and 46 feet, so the Huskies should continue to be strong even after Vergari graduates. Freshman Chris Herring has been a big addition to the track squad. Herring, who starts at point guard for the varsity basketball team, has been a strong quarter-miler and relay runner. Chris has stepped up and filled some holes for us, Turner said. Sophomore Sean Artis has been the team s best quarter-miler. Along with Pluviose and 4x100 runners Kenny Robinson and Manny Zambrano, he gives the Huskies a dependable group of sophomore runners. Senior Terrence Rgler has been with the team in the past but has come on strong this season in the 400 hurdles and in the 800. Juniors Mike Fanous and Rob Filator and sophomore Garrick Bennet have been the team s best distance runners. The toughest spots to fulfill have been the high jump and the long jump, where Ghassan Lightboume was so strong before graduating last season. We miss Ghassan more than anyone, Turner said. Freshman Danny Francis has gone 5-6 in the high jump and could be a contributor up the road. The Huskies don t have any dual meets scheduled for this week, but will participate in the Monmouth County Meet at Monmouth Regional. I just hope that our kids will perform up to their capabilities, Turner said. If they do, then we should be all right.

95 INDEPENDENT, MAY 6, B o h n g e t s h i s f i r s t w i n o f t h e s e a s o n a t W a l l WALL Having gone through the opening month of the Wall Stadium season without a feature win, defending Modified champion Eddie Bohn was overdue for a visit to victory lane. Bohn put the month of April behind him on Saturday, starting May off with a win in the 35-lap Modified feature. The Freehold driver benefited from a midrace restart to grab the lead from Howell s Ken Woolley and then, showing the experience that has won him two track championships and a record number of Turkey Derbies, stayed out of trouble and cruised home with his first win of the year. Bohn was chasing Woolley for the top spot until the restart when Bohn used the inside lane to pass Woolley, whose mishandling car pushed him into the high groove, leaving the inside open for Bohn. Shortly after Bohn had the lead, Woolley pitted for repairs. At the checkered flag, Little Silver s Jim Willis was the only driver near Bohn, who was cruising. Charlie Kremer Jr. of Toms River was third. Woolley got out of the pits quick enough to place fourth followed by J.R. Heiberg of Union. The 25-lap Pro Stock headliner produced a wild finish with defending champion Ray Gastelu of Jackson, crossing the finish line backward. Gastelu and Freehold s John Ruggiero were locked in a duel throughout the race. On the final circuit, the two touched with Gastelu spinning, exiting the final turn. He crossed the finished line backward in second place with Ruggiero, first. Officials ruled that Ruggiero had contributed to the Gastelu spin and placed Ruggiero in second behind the Jackson driver. George Andretta of Neptune was third, followed by Jim Vogt of Farmingdale and Adam Warren of Farmingdale. Chaz Okerson of Freehold was seventh. It was a good night for Freehold area drivers as Russ Cook of Farmingdale captured the 20-lap Street Stock main event. It was his first win of the year. He turned back Farmingdale s John McCormack. Greg Gastelu of Jackson was third, Scott Riggleman of Howell, fourth, and Bob Geiger of Absecon, fifth. Bob Howard Jr. of Port Monmouth was seventh. Tag Neil, the defending champion in the Truck Series, also returned to his winning ways, taking the checkered flag in the 15-lap feature ahead of last week s winner, Bart Schanck of Colts Neck. Kevin Eyres of Colts Neck was fifth, Stanley Schanck of Colts Neck, seventh, and Tim Buckley of Marlboro, eighth. This Saturday, Wall Stadium s onethird mile paved oval will host the Legends Cars who will join the four racing divisions for a full night of stock car racing. Racing starts at 7 p.m. Reasons To Listen To C* ,. 'F M (JbpSbcf' Srfxtst'c ocq. /o/( At the Palm Beach roller speed skating invitational, Stephen Martini and Nicholas Martini, both of Middletown, delivered medal-winning performances. Stephen placed second overall in the under-10 Junior Olympic Division and took second in the under-10 Elite Juvenile Division. Nicholas placed third in the under-8 Junior Olympic Division. The Middletown Dolphins, an under- 11 girls soccer team, blanked the Manalapan Heartbreakers, 4-0, as Kristen Kelleher came up big in the net to post the shutout. Amy Knudsen scored twice, and Shawna Cavanaugh and Brianne Moran also posted goals. Alison Lancos assisted on Cavanaugh s goal. The Hazlet Blitz, an under-13 soccer team, edged the Berkley Enforcers, 3-2, behind a pair of goals from Sean Corcione and a Charlie Tacopino tally off a feed from Sean O Dowd. Frank Konopelko also notched an assist, and goalie Garry Capko made several impressive saves in goal to preserve the win. The Middletown Shooting Stars, an under-9 girls soccer team, won its division at the Monroe Township Soccer Club s ninth annual Spring Kickoff Soccer Festival. In their two games the Shooting Stars pounded the Westfield Sting, 7-1, and edged the Bridgewater Wildcats, 3-2. Against Westfield, Caitlin Holtz delivered the hat trick as Kelly Martin, Jenna Lippi, Drew Cavanaugh and Brittany Tarabour also tallied. Goalies Tara Sodon and Andrea Bomfiglio combined in goal to deliver the win with solid defensive assistance from Julie Lancos, Ashley Novak, Liza Grimsgaard, Nicole Scaduto, Kelsey Canning, Shannon Smith and Lauren Florio. Against the Wildcats, Grimsgaard closed out the scoring after Holtz and SPORTSHORTS Lippi had tallied. Florio s outstanding goaltending denied a couple of big opportunities for the Wildcats. The team is coached by Linda Napoli. Joe Dondero of Middletown plays first base for The College of New Jersey, Ewing, baseball team. The junior is batting.358 with seven home runs and a teamleading 40 RBI through 25 games for the Lions.

99 THE MARKETPLACE INDEPENDENT, MAY 6, Real Estate Business Auto Classified AUTOS E P A s t u d y e x a m in e s a i r p o llu t io n c a u s e d b y v e h ic le s By The Associated Press Raising the prospect of tighter pollution controls on cars, an Environmental Protection Agency study questions whether air quality goals can be achieved without requiring still cleaner automobiles. The report, expected to be made public in coming weeks, will play a critical role as the EPA develops new tailpipe emission requirements for the next decade for cars, including the popular sport utility vehicles. The findings suggest it may be difficult to meet federal standards for smog-causing ozone and other pollutants without additional reductions in tailpipe pollution beyond what the auto industry already is promising, government and private sources say. This is in part because of expected growth in the number of automobiles and miles traveled as well as the continuing popularity of sport utility vehicles, many of which currently pollute more than conventional passenger cars. Auto manufacturers recently announced they will introduce cleaner burning vehicles beginning with 1999 models, phasing them in over several years. But environmentalists and state air quality regulators say the EPA should go further. The EPA study, which the White House is reviewing, is expected to be a strong influence for the agency as it determines what additional auto emission controls it may have to impose to ensure clean air, industry and air pollution control experts said. Richard Wilson, the EPA s assistant REAL ESTATE administrator for air and radiation, declined to characterize details of the study Friday, but said it lays out the various issues that EPA must consider in developing new tailpipe emission requirements. The study reaches no regulatory conclusions regarding the level at which future standards should be set, Wilson said in a statement. The report, couched in terms of options and general scenarios, finds that technologies will be available in 2004 for additional emission reductions and that such improvements can expect to be cost effective even when compared with pollution reductions from other sources such as industry and power plants. It starts the debate on what kind of cars we re going to be driving in the next decade, Nancy Kruger of the State and Territorial Air Pollution Program Administrators association, said. There s going to be a big fight over it. The EPA is required by Congress to determine whether additional automobile tailpipe controls are needed and, if so, impose them by The agency plans to issue proposed regulation on these socalled Tier II emission standards by the end of the year, with a final rule by the end of The auto industry says it is moving on its own beginning with 1999 models to produce cleaner cars so called low emissions vehicles nationally. These cars are supposed to emit 50 percent to 70 percent less smog-causing pollution than cars now generally being sold.

The industry s position is that the planned low emission vehicles should satisfy the EPA s next round of emission reductions, said Bob Babik, director of environmental issues at the American Automobile Manufacturers Association. We think it s a good level. If EPA comes out and says there s more needed, we ll have to evaluate that, he said in an interview. But environmentalists and many state and local air quality officials, contend that by 2004, new technologies will allow for even tougher emission controls, and that the EPA should require what s feasible. The State and Territorial Air Pollution Program Administrators and its local counterpart formally urged the EPA to look beyond the industry s voluntary clean car program in crafting its Tier II emissions requirements. The new standard should reflect new and emerging technologies expected to be available in 2004 and beyond and also require sport utility vehicles and light trucks to meet the same emission standards as passenger cars, the two groups said. There s a clear need for the EPA to set more stringent emissions standards for cars and light trucks as part of its upcoming regulation, agreed Roland Wong, a transportation specialist for the Union of Concerned Scientists. He said the EPA study is expected to support that conclusion. I n t r o d u c i n g M o n m o u t h C o u n t y s M o s t P r o g r e s s i v e N e w R e a l E s t a t e A g e n c y!
