Sollitto trial gets
underway in Freehold
Ambassador
confirms he
met mayor
By Kelly Skellinger
LAKE COMO — Former mayor Lawrence
Chiaravallo’s attempts to solicit a $3.7 million
donation from the Kuwaiti government to fund
improvements to the Lake Como Police
Department facilities and the Lake Como
municipal building were never quite successful
because, as Kuwaiti Ambassador Salem A. AlSabah stated last week, he never received a
response back from the government of Kuwait
regarding the issue.
The ambassador also confirmed that he met
twice with former
Mayor Chiaravallo,
silencing some who
had quietly questioned if the former
mayor had actually
met with officials
from Kuwait.
From his office at
the Embassy of the
State of Kuwait in
Washington, D.C.,
Ambassador
AlSabah last week told
his side of the story
that gained national
attention.
“When I took up my office in Washington in
2001, Mayor Chiaravallo had already corresponded with my government on this issue,”
Ambassador Al-Sabah said.
The ambassador stated that Mr. Chiaravallo
had sent a letter to the Kuwaiti Prime Minister
requesting the funds, prior to Ambassador AlSabah’s talks with Mr. Chiaravallo.
“In the letter, he [Mr. Chiaravallo] expressed
a need for new construction in Lake Como,”
Ambassador Al-Sabah continued. “When I followed up, the response from Kuwait was that we
have the request and we are looking into it.”
“I informed
M
a y o r
starnewsgroup.com
Chiaravallo of
Log on to comment
that in 2001,”
Ambassador AlSabah said. A copy of the ambassador’s letter to
Mr. Chiaravallo was included in a package of
documents that Mr. Chiaravallo handed over to
Mayor Michael Ryan and the borough council a
few weeks ago.
In the letter that Ambassador Al-Sabah sent
to Mr. Chiaravallo on Oct. 24, 2001, the ambassador wrote, “I forwarded your request to the
appropriate authorities in Kuwait for their
review and determination.”
“We met when he [Mr. Chiaravallo] was here
in Washington,” Ambassador Al-Sabah confirmed. The ambassador stated that Mr.
Chiaravallo had paid him a courtesy call on two
separate occasions, regarding the request for
funds. Ambassador Al-Sabah also stated that,
on both occasions, he had informed Mr.
Chiaravallo that he had not yet heard back from
his country regarding the request.
According to the ambassador, his first visit
from Mr. Chiaravallo took place in Washington,
D.C., before Hurricane Katrina had hit the Gulf
Coast. The second meeting took place, again in
Washington, D.C., after Hurricane Katrina had

Chris Fay, 8 [left], and his sister, Haley Fay, 11, both of Wall, had all of the accessories needed for the Belmar & Lake Como St. Patrick’s Day Parade, held last Sunday, from parade beads
to shamrock-shaped sunglasses and face paint. The brother and sister even brought their own
leprechaun along to enjoy the festivities.
Belmar parade draws
100,000 to borough
By Kelly Skellinger
BELMAR — Green was in
fashion on Main Street last
Sunday when parade watchers
and participants traveled from
all over the state to attend
Belmar and Lake Como’s 34th
Annual Saint Patrick’s Day
Parade.
Some of the fashions were
simple, a shamrock pin on an
Irish cable-knit sweater or a
simple shamrock painted on
someone’s cheek. However,
there were many parade attendees and marchers who opted
for the complete Irish garb,
wearing green from head to
toe.
Robert “Gio” Giaquinto,

who sells Irish-themed items

Shop on Main Street in

three-piece suit, with a ruffled
shirt, green bow tie and green
sneakers to match. Mr.
Giaquinto was a more than
happy man on Sunday, with
customers flooding into his
store to pick up some casual
Irish attire along the parade
route. Mr. Giaquinto said his
business was “perfect” on
Sunday.

Like the Irish Shop, many
of Belmar and Lake Como’s
Main Street businesses, bars
and restaurants were busy on
Sunday. The Boat House Bar
and Grill was full of patrons,
inside and outside, who
enjoyed the music that was
provided by “the Rat” radio
station, 95.9. Other bars in
Belmar, such as Connelly
Station and 507 Main, were
also bringing in large groups
of hungry and thirsty patrons.
Nostalgic Nonsense displayed a rack of green Dickies
slacks on the sidewalk for the
occasion while Freedman’s
Bakery set up a table on the
sidewalk selling everything
from piping hot coffee to cupcakes decorated with icing and
topped with tiny green tophats.
Curbside vendors lined the
side streets with every kind of
parade item one could think
of, from balloons, to pins, to
hats, to boas. Larry Dellinger,
a vendor who set up his merchandise on 13th Avenue and
Main, stated that the “hats and
boas” were the most popular
item for him this year. Mr.
Dellinger has been a vendor at
the parade since it began in
1974. Other curbside vendors
sold hot dogs and corned beef
sandwiches.
Approximately
100,000
people attended the Belmar
and Lake Como Saint
Patrick’s Day Parade last
Sunday. Parade marchers
totaled approximately 5,500
people.
The parade began with a

FREEHOLD — The trial of
Ronald Sollitto and Michael Casale,
who are being tried simultaneously on
charges of conspiring to manipulate the
late Spring Lake resident Madeleine
Stockdale for purposes of monetary
gain, began Tuesday afternoon, here,
with the prosecutor’s opening statement.
Yesterday, defense lawyers had the
opportunity to present their introduction to the criminal case, calling specific attention to what jurors should disregard as opinion, not fact. Defense
attorney John Furlong, who represents
Dr. Sollitto, a podiatrist former Spring
Lake resident, also noted that since the
trial will examine events that took place
nearly a decade ago, some witnesses
memories may have been replaced with
what they have read, or understood, to
be the truth.
The state called its first witness,
Spring Lake resident Carol Patterson,
on Wednesday afternoon.
Through his line of questioning,
Assistant
Monmouth
County
Prosecutor John Loughrey attempted
to depict the relationship between Mrs.
Patterson and Mrs. Stockdale, while
characterizing the late widow and lending insight into the final days of her
life.
Mrs. Patterson, a longtime colleague
and friend of Madeleine Stockdale and
a former member of the Spring Lake
First Aid Squad, was called to testify
yesterday afternoon by the prosecution.
Mrs. Patterson resides on Sussex
Avenue in Spring Lake with her husband, G. Wayne Patterson, and first
met Mrs. Stockdale in the 1960s. Both
women were employed as part-time
real estate agents by the same Spring
Lake agency.

By the 1980s, Mrs. Patterson’s children, now grown and married, no
longer required parental care, so she
worked more frequently at the real
estate agency.
She and Mrs. Stockdale, Mrs.
Patterson testified, discussed varied
subjects, including Mrs. Patterson’s
personal life, town issues, gardening
and minimally, Mrs. Stockdale’s own
life.
“We were never at a loss for conversation,” Mrs. Patterson said.
Of Mrs. Stockdale’s family, Mrs.
Patterson knew very little, she said. She
explained that she knew Mrs. Stockdale
had been married to a John Henry
Stockdale, who had passed away.
Mrs. Stockdale said her father had
fought in the Civil War and that she
was “estranged” from her brothers and
their children, Mrs. Patterson testified.
Mrs. Patterson said there was “a lack
of warmth” in Mrs. Stockdale’s family.
Mrs. Patterson also recalled remarks
Mrs. Stockdale had made regarding the
government.
“She didn’t like being told what to
do,” Mrs. Patterson testified, “She
avoided taxes at all costs.”
The witness explained that Mrs.
Stockdale had gone as far as ripping
wallpaper off the walls of her 10
Monroe Ave. home to devalue it before
it was assessed for tax purposes.
In that light, Mrs. Patterson said that
Mrs. Stockdale had repeatedly told her
that she intended to leave her estate to
charity, so it would not be taxed.
When the prosecutor asked Mrs.
Patterson if Mrs. Stockdale had named
any particular charities, the witness said
she recalled mention of an orphanage
in France, as the late widow’s heritage
was partly French, and the Spring Lake
First Aid Squad.

The Spring Lake Heights
Council approved an interlocal
agreement with the boroughs of
Sea Girt, Brielle and Spring
Lake at last week’s meeting to
officially create a regional construction office in Spring Lake.
The annual cost to the borough under the agreement will
be $53,626, including fees to the
New Jersey Department of
Community Affairs, according
to Borough Administrator
Theresa Casagrande.

least amount of money, Ms.
Casagrande said, adding that the
borough has taken in an average
of approximately $77,000 annually in recent years.
The new regional construction
office in the Spring Lake municipal building is now open fulltime, serving all four boroughs.
A primary reason for the agreement was so that construction
official Albert Ratz would be
available for more hours during
the week, rather than the
extremely limited office hours he
kept in each town when he
worked for them separately.
The council also introduced a
new ordinance setting construction fees, as the regional office
will have a uniform fee structure.
The fee for new construction
will be 2 cents per cubic foot,
with a minimum of $120.
Renovation fees will be $17
per $1,000 of the estimated cost
of the work, up to $50,000.
There will be an additional fee of
$10 for each $1,000 worth of
work beyond the first $50,000.
In other news from last week’s
council meeting:
• In response to a question
from 10th Avenue resident
Frank Ford, Ms. Casagrande said
the Borough of Spring Lake is
covering 50 percent of the costs
involved with upgrading the
Spring Lake Heights Municipal
Court facilities.
The two boroughs recently
entered into an interlocal agreement to merge their municipal
courts, and all Spring Lake court
sessions are now held in the
Heights courtroom.
Recent bills paid by the borough in relation to the court
include $1,800 for a bullet-proof
window, $280 for relocating the
phones and $425 for maintenance to the tape recorder.
• The committee formed to
review the borough’s options
with regard to compensating
employees submitted its report
to the council, but Mayor
Elwood Malick said it will not
be publicly discussed until a
future meeting.
In the meantime, council
members will submit comments
and questions about the report to
the borough clerk. The council
will then discuss the issues with
Borough Attorney Frederick C.
Raffetto before possibly bringing
them up at a meeting this
The Spring Lake Theatre Company
month, the mayor said.
• Asked by Mr. Ford whether
the council intended to appoint a
borough administrator before
proposing a new job description,
Mayor Malick said a thorough
job description is already in the
borough’s code book, and that is
sufficient.
Ms. Casagrande, who also
serves as the deputy borough
clerk, was appointed administrator later in the meeting.
• Shore Road resident James
Martin asked about a recent
agreement between the borough
and the local PBA, which awarded nine police officers with a
total of $4,111 for missed overtime shifts during January, along
with 156 hours of compensatory
time for missed overtime shifts
in December.
Special officers had been
scheduled for shifts without first
checking with regular officers,
Councilwoman Lynn Kegelman
said, adding that that was in violation of the PBA contract.
“Did anyone consider the
accountability of the police
chief?” Mr. Martin asked, referring to the scheduling issue.
Councilwoman
Kegelman
said there had been a “miscommunication,” and the chief had a
“misinterpretation” of what was
allowed regarding use of special
officers.
“I think the misunderstanding
was on your part, not the police
chief,” Mr. Ford told the councilwoman. He also questioned
whether hiring the special officers had saved the borough
money, and unsuccessfully
sought a figure of how much the
compensatory time will cost.
Chief Steets did not return a
phone call seeking comment on
the matter.
• Council President Mary
Beth McKnight and Twelfth
Avenue resident Patty Cindea
exchanged words regarding Mrs.
Cindea’s criticisms of the borough’s compensation practices.
Mrs. Cindea had spearheaded
the recent unsuccessful recall
campaign against Mayor Malick.
“The [borough] office functions
very,
very
well,”
Councilwoman McKnight said.
She said she was certain Mrs.
Cindea herself could attest to
that, considering the number of
times information was provided
to her in response to public
records requests.
Mayor Malick told the two
women to stop arguing. “Thank
you Mrs. Cindea,” he said. “Your
time is up.”

Women arrested on
drug, forgery charges
By Brian O’Keefe
Two women who were recently arrested for possession of substances believed to be cocaine
and heroin have also been
charged with possessing identification, checkbooks and birth
certificates from an Asbury Park
house that was robbed last year,
according to Spring Lake
Heights Police.
Ptl. Andrew O’Neill stopped a
vehicle driven by Red Bank resident Denise Nodine, 29, for following another vehicle too closely on Route 71, on Feb. 21 at
5:08 p.m.
After the stop, Ptl. O’Neill
discovered what appeared to be
cocaine and heroin in the possession of Ms. Nodine and her passenger, Neptune City resident
Theresa Sullivan, 23.
The two women were also
charged with possession of drug
paraphernalia, as pipes were
found in the vehicle.
Later investigation revealed
that identification, checkbooks
and birth certificates in their
possession were taken from an
Asbury Park house last year,

Council gives OK to mosquito
commission to spray borough
By Brian O’Keefe
The Spring Lake Heights
Council authorized the mayor to
sign an agreement with the
Monmouth County Mosquito
Extermination Commission at
last week’s meeting.
The commission monitors
areas of the county by air and
administers treatment programs
to control mosquitoes. It had
requested permission from the
borough to undertake those tasks
in Spring Lake Heights.
The commission sprays pesticides from aircraft in areas that
have a high mosquito populations that create a public health
nuisance or have the potential to
spread disease.
Because of Federal Aviation
Administration regulations, the
commission is required to obtain
written approval from the governing bodies of the towns over
which any aircraft are operated.
The pesticides used by the
Monmouth County Mosquito
Extermination Commission are
registered for aerial application
by the State of New Jersey and
the United States Environmental
Protection Agency, according to
the commission.
The commission will have to
notify the borough police
department before each application of the pesticides.
The treatment program lasts
from mid-March through the
end of November.

Voters rejected the proposed
$391,674 budget in an election
last month. The council will now
review the budget and decide
whether to leave it as it is or
reduce it.
The fire district’s proposed
budget is 8.1 percent more than
last year’s budget, largely because
of a $36,060 increase in the
maintenance appropriation.
With $55,000 in the fire district’s surplus fund proposed to
go toward the budget, the tax
rate would increase by 2.6 percent over last year.
The proposed tax rate is 4.6
cents per $100 of assessed valuation, up from last year’s rate of
4.5 cents per $100 of assessed
valuation.
Based on that figure, the
owner of a home assessed at
$275,000 would see this year’s
annual fire district tax bill go up
to $126.50, which is $2.75 more
than last year’s bill of $123.75.
The public hearing is scheduled for next Monday at 8 p.m.
in borough hall.
ignating March as Women’s
History Month, honoring the
“overlooked and undervalued”
contributions of New Jersey
women.
According to the resolution,
women in New Jersey have contributed to the state’s “growth
and strength … in countless
recorded and unrecorded ways.”
Women play a critical role in
all aspects of life, because they
make up a significant portion of
the work force, both inside and
outside the home, the council
went on the record as stating.
Women have always contributed in many other ways, the
resolution states, such as by volunteering, creating charitable
and cultural institutions, and by
serving as “early leaders in the
forefront of every major social
change movement.”
Movements cited include the
abolitionist,
emancipation,
industrial labor, civil rights and
peace movements.
• The council passed a resolution declaring March 2 as “Read
Across America Day.” The
national celebration took place
on what would have been the
103rd birthday of children’s
author Dr. Seuss.
In New Jersey, the celebration
was conducted by the New Jersey
Education Association, the New
Jersey
State
League
of
Municipalities, the New Jersey
Library Association, and Saturn
United Auto Workers.
There has been “significant
leadership” in Spring Lake
Heights regarding educating
children, because it is important
in maintaining the quality of life,
according to the resolution.
Volunteers sought
for creek cleanup
The Spring Lake Heights
Environmental Commission is
looking for volunteers to help at
the annual Earth Day Clean-Up
scheduled for Saturday, April 21
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Black
Creek Park, Sixth and North
Lake avenues. The rain date is
Sunday, April 22.
“The clean-up centers around
Black Creek, but in the past, we
have split up the volunteers and
asked some to work around
Wreck
Pond,”
said
Environmental
Commission
Chairwoman Kat Crippen.
“In addition to maintaining the
area around Black Creek, we
would like to recruit enough volunteers so that we could address
some other areas such as Wreck
Pond along Shore Road.”
Another area in need of attention is the Polly Pod Brook, which
serves as the boundary between
Spring Lake Heights and Wall
Township.
“The Polly Pod is identified on
colonial maps of the area,” Ms.
Crippen said. “It is sadly overlooked and in need of cleaning. I’d
love to get a group together who
would be responsible for it.”

A type of bacteria known
as
methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus
aureus
(MRSA) is a major cause of
illness and death in hospitals. According to recent
research, patients in intensive care unit rooms that
were previously occupied by
patients with the antibioticresistant bacteria were at
increased risk for acquiring
this dangerous infection.
This heightened risk was
present even though hospitals employed room-cleaning
procedures that exceeded
U.S. national guidelines.
Now, health professionals
are finding that MRSA is
increasingly showing up
among healthy people outside of hospitals. A recent
study of emergency rooms in
eleven cities revealed that
MRSA is the most common
reason why adults seek
emergency care for skin
infections. The bacterium is
transmitted through close
contact.
We are a full service
Dermatology practice and we
will work with you to develop
a treatment program to meet
your individual needs. Call
732-295-1331 to schedule
an appointment. I am conveniently located at 407 Route
35 South, Point Pleasant
Beach. We have a full service laser and cosmetic surgery center. New patients
are gladly accepted.
P.S. MRSA is different
from so-called “flesh-eating
disease,” the common name
for necrotizing fasciitis,
which can be caused by a
number of different bacteria,
including group A streptococcus (GAS).
Volunteers will be provided
with coffee and refreshments in
the morning and a hot dog barbecue in the afternoon. Rakes and
trash bags will be provided, or volunteers may bring their own garden tools.
Volunteers should come prepared to get wet if they intend to
work in or near the water.
“In the past, we’ve invited people to bring rowboats or canoes,”
Ms. Crippen said, but added the
waters in Black Creek have
severely receded in recent years.
“I don’t believe you can get a
rowboat in there without getting
stuck,” she said, “but a canoe
should still be OK if anyone wants
to bring theirs.”
Scout troops, Key Clubs and
any individuals looking to fulfill
service hours are welcome to participate, along with any local residents.

By Kelly Skellinger
Mayor Kenneth Pringle and
the borough council, acting as
the local Alcoholic Beverage
Control [ABC] board, imposed a
30-day suspension and numerous
conditions on D’Jais’ liquor
license at a special hearing last
Wednesday. Before Mayor
Pringle announced the penalties
that D’Jais would suffer for their
eight alcoholic beverage control
violations from last summer,
Mayor Pringle felt it imperative
to answer some of the questions
that arose from the D’Jais hearing on Feb. 13.
Mayor Pringle stated that “no
negotiations went on” the
evening of Feb.13, the previously
scheduled D’Jais hearing, where
members of the governing body
decided to go into executive
closed session.
Councilman William Merkler,
who had announced after the
Feb. 13 hearing that the closed
session was not what he had
wanted — despite the fact that
he seconded the motion to go
into that closed session meeting
— was not in attendance at the
D’Jais hearing on Feb. 28. He
had asked the council not to
come to a conclusion on the matter until he was able to attend.
However, the council decided to
move on without him last
Wednesday, after Councilman
Merkler’s request was read aloud
and the governing body decided
to continue with the hearing.
“No one on the council met
with any representative of D’Jais
during that first meeting [on
Feb. 13],” Mayor Pringle stated
on Monday. “Our attorney communicated an outline of the
issues for the attorney for D’Jais
but there were no negotiations
that went on that night.”
“At the first meeting [on Feb.
13], we [the ABC board] agreed
that they [the owners of D’Jais]
would appear at the Feb. 28
meeting,” Mayor Pringle said.
“Mr. Merkler was part of that
discussion and he then indicated
that he had a trip planned for
that night,” Mayor Pringle con-
PTO to host
Casino Night
on March 23
The Belmar PTO will hold its
fourth annual Casino Night and
Gift Auction at the Barclay on
Friday, March 23 from 7 p.m. to
11 p.m. Casino Night is the
PTO’s major fund-raising event
of the year, and the public is
invited to attend.

tinued. “At that point we had
already announced that they [the
owner’s of D’Jais] were coming
back on the 28th.”
Mayor Pringle stated that the
council, acting as the local ABC
Board, “didn’t feel that we could
delay the meeting any further.”
At the Feb. 28 meeting, Mayor
Pringle stated that the council
had decided to impose a “combination of steps,” a “framework,”
which would deter the type of
conduct that was displayed by
D’Jais employees last summer
from happening again in the
future.
Mayor Pringle stated early on
in the meeting that the board
decided that D’Jais should, as a
result of the offenses they were
accused of, have their liquor
license suspended for 15 days in
May and an additional “hanging
time of 30 days” imposed against
their liquor license at the end of
the season, should there be
another instance of “excessive
force” used by their bouncers.
If the bar emerges from the
season with no serious complaints leveled against it, that 30day suspension would not be
served.
By the end of the meeting, the
board and D’Jais owners, Frank
Sementa, Bill Lueddecke and
Kip Conner, agreed that the
D’Jais’ license would be suspended for 15 days in the beginning
of the season, from May 1 to
May 15, and 15 days at the end
of the season, from Sept. 17 to
Oct. 1, with no additional “hanging time of 30 days.”
This allows them to serve a
total of 30 days suspension
instead of a possible 45 if they
were cited for another serious
violation.
The maximum punishment,
under ABC law, that could have
been placed on D’Jais for the
eight violations that were leveled
against them last summer would
have totaled a 160-day suspension of their liquor license,
should they have been found
guilty of all eight of the violations leveled against them during
a formal hearing.
The council also decided to
impose numerous conditions on
D’Jais’ liquor license, in order to
prevent the violations from happening again. The board decided
to require D’Jais to pay the borough funds to have an off-duty
Belmar Police officer stationed
on the sidewalk, outside of
D’Jais, on Friday, Saturday and
Sunday nights, as well the night
before holidays and on holidays.
The police officer would keep
watch of the front door and help
bouncers should a problem
occur. The officer would be stationed in front of D’Jais, between
the hours of 6:30 p.m. and 2:30
a.m. “I think with the officer
posted there, we will get a more
objective observation of what is
going on,” Police Chief Hill stat-
LAUREN PARKER, The Coast Star
D’Jais owners, Bill Lueddecke [from left], Frank Sementa and
Kip Conner were all in attendance at the conclusion of the
D’Jais hearing on Feb. 8 at the Belmar Municipal Building. Mr.
Sementa addressed the council, stating, among other things,
that “D’Jais will dedicate themselves to the training of their
staff” to prevent quality of life issues from occurring in the
future at the bar.
CANDICE KENMUIR, The Coast Star
D'Jais Bar, Nightclub and Restaurant, which is located at 1801
Ocean Avenue, in Belmar, had its liquor license suspended for
30 days. The liquor license suspension was just one of the conditions imposed upon D’Jais by the borough council, acting as
the local Alcoholic Beverage Control board, on Feb. 28, in
response to eight violations D’Jais had incurred last summer.
ed last Wednesday.
D’Jais owners would also be
responsible for paying extra
funds to the borough should the
police officer need to call for
back-up. While there was discussion on what would constitute a
significant reason for the officer
to call for back-up, Mayor
Pringle, Police Chief Jack Hill,
Borough Attorney Karl Kemm
and D’Jais Attorney William
Wolf, decided that back-up
should be called for “brawls, acts
of violence or disorderly person
events that require two or more
officers.”
An escrow account would be
set up for D’Jais, totaling
$20,000 to cover the costs that
the borough may incur in
responding to major incidents at
D’Jais, which would force the
police officer stationed outside to
call for back-up. Money would
not be taken from this account
until the owners of D’Jais had a
chance to see why they were
being charged for the back-up
officers. D’Jais owners would also
be able to refute the incidents on
which they were being charged,
if they felt the incidents did not
justify back-up officers.
Mayor Pringle stated that the
board had also decided to “beef
up the conditions” on the liquor
license that had “worked well” in
the past, such as the Shush
Patrol. For instance, the Shush
Patrol positions must be well
staffed. Chief Hill stated that an
officer would make “routine
checks” of who was working, to
ensure that an adequate number
of coverage is given each night.
Shush patrols are bar employees who are stationed on the
streets around the bar and keep
patrons quiet when they are
walking to and from the establishment, but are especially useful at closing time.
If Chief Hill was to find that
an inadequate number of Shush
Patrol staff were being used
repetitively, he would then issue
D’Jais a warning. If repetitive
non-compliance was to occur
after the warning, Chief Hill
would decide what the next
move would be in enforcing the
condition. The Shush Patrol will
be staffed by private security that
D’Jais will hire.
The last condition that the
board imposed on D’Jais was
that the two bouncers who had
been involved in the “excessive
force” incidents last summer be
terminated, which D’Jais’ owners
agreed to without question.
After the D’Jais owners
accepted the council’s proposal,
Mayor Pringle addressed the
owners of D’Jais, stating that he
understood that they have to
make a living but they need to
understand that they have an
“enormous responsibility to their
patrons and their community.”
Mayor Pringle also stated that he
hoped the owners of D’Jais
appreciates “how hard it is on our
part.” Mayor Pringle added that
he believed the punishment and
the conditions imposed upon
their liquor license were “extensive, strict and fair.”
Councilman
Barry
Zimmerman stated that he
agreed with Mayor Pringle in
that D’Jais does have a “responsibility to the public.” Councilman
Zimmerman explained that it
was not the council’s intention to
shut their business down.
Councilwoman Merry Brennan
said the decision had been “difficult for everyone” and encouraged communication on both
sides. “I hope for a summer when
none
of
this
arises,”
Councilwoman Brennan said.
Councilman
Matthew
Doherty stated that he believed
the “punishment was fair” and
that his intention was not to
“cripple” the D’Jais establishment.
One of the three D’Jais owners, Mr. Sementa, addressed the
council, stating that he had experienced “many sleepless nights”
since the first fight that occurred
on Sept. 2. Mr. Sementa stated
that he had been “embarrassed”
because of the incident and
“thought residents would find
the incident ugly.”
Mr. Sementa stated that he
was “happy” with the council’s
decision and continued to say
that D’Jais will dedicate themselves to the training of their
staff.
The mayor and council plan to
vote on a resolution by March
14, once the language of the conditions is finalized and agreed
upon by Mr. Kemm and the
D’Jais owners.

For Dune Plantings
Resident celebrates her 104th
birthday in true Irish fashion
By Kelly Skellinger
Kathleen McGarry will turn
104 on March 10 and celebrated
her birthday early, in true Irish
fashion, last Sunday when her
first-born
grandson,
Jack
McGarry, and other members of
the Essex County Emerald
Society’s fife and drums band,
stopped by her apartment on
First and Ocean Avenues,
Belmar, after the Belmar & Lake
Como Saint Patrick’s Day
Parade.
Ms. McGarry was taken out
to the courtyard of her apartment complex to hear the band
serenade her with an Irish rendition of the “Happy Birthday”
song and Irish tunes such as
Danny Boy, The Field of Athen
Ry, The Wild Colonial Boy, The
Wild Rover and Our Lady of
Knock.
The Essex County Emerald
Society’s fife and drum band
have helped Ms. McGarry celebrate her birthday for the last 13
years. Patricia McGarry Drake,
Kathleen’s daughter, who also
lives in the same building, spent
last Saturday, and every Saturday
before the parade for the last 13
years, in the kitchen preparing
50 pounds of corned beef and
cabbage to feed the hungry fife
and drum band and their families.
“I used to march in the parade
before I had to cook 50 pounds
of corned beef,” Ms. McGarry
Drake stated. “Now I watch it
[the parade] on television.” Ms.
McGarry Drake’s guests enjoyed
corned beef sandwiches, cabbage, cole slaw, potato salad,
macaroni salad and cold Irish
brews on Sunday, after their long
trek down Main Street.
Ms. McGarry Drake stated
that her mother’s birthday party
has become a tradition over the
years. Her mother was born on
March 10, 1903 in County
Fligo, Ireland. She arrived at
Ellis Island, N.Y., on July 4,
1923, when she was just 20 years
old. Ms. McGarry Drake stated
that her mother is a daily communicant of Saint Rose Church,
Belmar. “Come rain or snow, she
gets me out of bed to take her [to
church],” Ms. McGarry Drake
said, “and we don’t dare be late.”
The Emerald Society’s fife
and drum band from Essex
County is comprised of 25 to 30
members, all firemen and police
officers, and they march every
year in the Belmar & Lake
Como Saint Patrick’s Day
Parade.
“All of the men in the pipe
band really respect her [Ms.
McGarry],” stated Ms. McGarry
Drake. “They are in awe of her.”
Ms. McGarry Drake really
enjoys hosting the party every
year. “They [the fife and drum
band] do a whole rendition of
songs,” Ms. McGarry Drake
said, “and she [Ms. McGarry]
just grins from ear to ear.”
Ms. McGarry had many visitors on Sunday afternoon.
Monsignor Casey Ladzinski,
who used to be a parish priest at
St. Rose Roman Catholic
Church years ago, stopped in on
his birthday on Sunday to wish
Ms. McGarry a happy birthday a
week early.
United States Senator Robert
Menendez and Congressman
Frank Palone also stopped by on
Sunday to say hello to Ms.
McGarry and wish her a happy
birthday.
According to Ms. McGarry
Drake, both men had been over
at Mayor Kenneth Pringle’s
home,
when
Councilman
Matthew Doherty came by and
invited Sen. Menendez and
Congressman Pallone to come
over and say hello to her.
When the band finished its
serenade to Ms. McGarry, Ms.
McGarry told Ms. McGarry
Drake “please tell the kids in the
band that I hope they feel as
good as I do today when they are
my age.”
“It was just a wonderful day,”
Ms. McGarry Drake said.

THE RETURN OF SILICONE BREAST IMPLANTS
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recently lifted its
14-year ban on silicone breast implants after decades of
controversy over their potential dangers. Until the recent
decision, women have been allowed to make use of silicone breast implants only if they were taking part in a
research study. Since 1992, when the FDA mandated a halt
on sales of silicone gel-filled breast implants, sufficient clinical and non-clinical data has emerged to warrant their use,
according to the FDA. At the same time, the FDA wants all
women who are considering breast augmentation surgery
to know that breast implants are not lifetime devices.
Additional breast surgery will likely be required, at least
once, during the lifetime of a breast-implant patient.
Breast implants come in a variety of shapes, surface textures, and sizes. Depending on the desired shape you wish
to achieve, you and your plastic surgeon may choose a
round or shaped breast implant shape. Generally, the larger you want your cup size, the larger the implant the plastic

surgeon will consider. For more information or to schedule an
appointment, please call SEA SHORE PLASTIC AND
HAND SURGERY CENTER. Because the changes resulting
from plastic surgery are often dramatic and permanent, it’s
important that you have a clear understanding of how surgery might make you feel — long before a procedure is
scheduled.
P.S. Saline breast implants, which release salt water
when ruptured, have been approved for a long time.

“We had nothing to do with it
and even refused to be involved
when directly asked by the Chief
of Police, J.W. Hill, and town
attorney K. Kemm, on Dec. 8,
2006,” Doug Sweeny, co-president of the Belmar Homeowner’s
Association, said about the recent
hearings held to decide on a
penalty for D’Jais for several liquor
law violations lodged against the
business.
During the D'Jais hearings that
were held on Feb. 13 and Feb. 28,
no one from the Belmar
Homeowner's
Association
[BHA] came forward to testify
against D'Jais, even though Police
Chief Jack Hill asked Mr. Sweeny
in December for members to
come forward to testify at the
hearings, Mr. Sweeney claims.
Councilman
Matthew
Doherty, at the end of the D’Jais
hearing on Feb. 28, said, "One of
the things I have found out is that
clearly there is a group in town
that are interested in shutting
down, closing the establishment
[D'Jais].”
While Councilman Doherty
did not specify the "group" he was
speaking of at the meeting, Mr.
Sweeny believes Councilman
Doherty was referring the BHA.
Councilman Doherty emphasized the fact that he had “never
mentioned any groups” during the
meeting, stating, “I said “a group.”
Councilman Doherty did not
name the BHA at the Feb. 28
meeting. Councilman Doherty
did say on Tuesday that the BHA
coming across like “they are nonpartisan is no longer true.”
Councilman Doherty said the
BHA “are allowed to have an
agenda.”
However,
Councilman
Doherty also stated that, “It’s just
that they do not wish to recognize
it [their agenda].”
“If you object to a license being
renewed for a bar, you are closing
them
down,”
Councilman
Doherty said. “To say they [the
BHA] are not involved is a fabri-

cation.” Councilman Doherty
explained that the BHA “are
politically involved.” Councilman
Doherty specified that the BHA
were not political in an “electionwise” sense, but in the way that the
BHA created an “anti-mayor,
anti-council public persona.”
“I don’t mean that they [the
BHA] necessarily support any one
candidate,” Councilman Doherty,
a Democrat, said. “I’m not saying
it is Democrat or Republican.”
Instead, Councilman Doherty
said, “take the issue of D’Jais and
the D’Jais hearing. What I am
saying is that they [the BHA]
politicized it in a way to make the
mayor and council look like they
were doing something wrong
[when the mayor and council
went into closed session].”
Mayor Kenneth E. Pringle also
made mention of the BHA when
he made a statement to another
local paper that Republican
Councilman William Merkler
"had succumbed to political pressure
from
the
Belmar
Homeowner's Association, a
Republican-leaning group," who
he apparently said had an “agenda”
of "putting D'Jais out of business."
Mayor Pringle was referring to
a few days after the Feb. 13 D’Jais
hearing when Councilman
Merkler, who had seconded the
motion for the mayor and council
to go into a closed session meeting
on Feb. 13, stated that he felt the
hearing on D’Jais should have
been done in public and not
behind closed doors.
Mayor Pringle would not comment on the issue on Monday.
Mr. Sweeny responded to
Mayor Pringle’s statement that
Councilman Merkler had been
swayed by the BHA.
“Despite the mayor and
Council’s accusations, the BHA
has not pressured William
Merkler or any other council
member to make statements
about the open public hearing,”
Mr. Sweeny said.

her to receive the individual
scholarships or grants. For further information, contact Claire
Deicke at 732-681-0522.
Mr. Sweeny went on to explain
what the "essence" of the BHA’s
complaint was.
“We seriously object to the
Belmar Mayor [Pringle’s] tactic of
diverting public attention away
from D'Jais mishandled public
hearing on ABC Liquor License
violations by attempting to blame
the
Belmar
Homeowner's
Association, who he mischaracterized as a “Republican-leaning
political pressure group,” Mr.
Sweeny said.
“At no time has the BHA ever
requested the closing of D’Jais, a
charge the owners of D’Jais fabricated two years ago to energize
opposition to the ABC placing
conditions on their liquor license,”
Mr. Sweeny said. “We are at a loss
to understand Councilman
Doherty’s continued repeating of
his misstatement that our organization “wants to close D’Jais.”
Mr. Sweeny also stated that the
comments made by Councilman
Doherty and Mayor Pringle at the
D’Jais hearing on Feb. 28 “were
apparently more important than
verbally counseling the bar owners
on the seriousness of the assault
charges and liquor violations.”
Councilman Doherty stated
that he believed the council
imposed a “strict penalty” on
D’Jais on Feb. 28 by putting a 30day suspension on their liquor
license. Councilman Doherty also
stated that he felt the council
“ensured a better quality of life” by
putting conditions on the liquor
license, as well.
“They [D’Jais] can only serve
alcohol for 180 days, 30 days is
one-sixth
of
that
time,”
Councilman Doherty said. “So
they lose one-sixth of their business for the infractions.”
“Having the police officer outside, that was substantial,”
Councilman Doherty continued.
“Shutting them [D’Jais] down was
never an option and that is not an
option that the people of Belmar
want.”
“Belmar is one square mile,”
Councilman Doherty said. “So for
anyone to say that what happens
in one part of town doesn’t effect
another part of town is completely off base.”
Mr. Sweeny and his wife,
Susanne, are the co-presidents of
the
Belmar
Homeowner's
Association. Mr. Sweeny stated,
“We, collectively, as a group, are
more than a little frustrated at
how the D'Jais hearing went
down and the way the Association
was depicted.”
“The BHA, by it’s mission
statement, is completely “non-partisan” and “open to all residents,”
Mr. Sweeny stated.
According to Mr. Sweeny, the
BHA started five or six years ago
and consists of a “couple hundred
members who live in Belmar.” Mr.
Sweeny said that two years ago,
the BHA brought a petition to the
council to have them put conditions on D'Jais' liquor license.
Mr. Sweeny stated that the
Association was concerned about
“the noise and disorderly conduct”
that was occurring between 2 and
4 a.m. in the morning, when
D’Jais patrons left the bar. The
petition and the complaints
brought about “a huge hearing,”
Mr. Sweeny said. “We did not
intend to close D'Jais but put conditions on their [liquor] license.”
“Last summer, the town attorney and chief of police wrote to
me and asked the association to
get residents to testify,” Mr.
Sweeny said. “I wrote back and
said, “no way.” Mr. Sweeny stated
that while the “Association is 100
percent behind the borough
enforcing the liquor laws,” he
warned, “Don’t make this a
Belmar Homeowner’s Association
issue.”
Mr. Sweeny said he could foresee the potential problems that
would occur should members of
the Association testify against
D’Jais at the hearings in February.
He suggested that Borough
Attorney Karl Kemm, “Ask every
organization, not just the BHA” to
testify.
When asked whether sending
correspondence to an organization
in town to try to get them to testify on the borough’s behalf was a
common practice, Chief Hill stated on Monday, “We try to address
the needs of all of our residents.”
“If they [the BHA] took
offense by it [the e-mail], I am
sorry about that,” Chief Hill said.
“Citizen participation in the system is crucial to the government
and I was trying to get them [the
BHA] to assist us [the police
department] in our prosecution.”
Chief Hill stated that part of
the case was based on “nuisance
charges.” “We were looking for
witnesses to the nuisance
charges,” Chief Hill said. “Karl
[Kemm] asked me to reach out to
them and I did.”
Belmar Council OKs
police dept. K9 unit
By Kelly Skelliner
Belmar Mayor Kenneth E.
Pringle and the borough council
finalized their decision to add a
K-9 unit to the Belmar Police
Department after going into
closed
session
at
last
Wednesday’s meeting of the
governing body.
Councilman
Matthew
Doherty informed the mayor
and council that it was “prudent”
to make the decision that night.
The free K-9 unit training classes for the officer and his dog will
begin on March 19 and the next
opportunity for the Belmar
Police Department to utilize the
free classes, after the March
date, would be in 2008.
Police Officer Darian Vitello
and his German Shephard, Esso,
will be the new K-9 Unit for the
Belmar Police Department. Esso
is, as Police Chief Jack Hill
informed, currently owned by
Officer Vitello. Esso has been
tested for tracking capabilities,
basic instinct capabilities and hip
dysplasia.
“The dog, evidently, has had
all of these capabilities and has a
good prospect to be a good
tracking and narcotics dog,”
Chief
Hill
stated
last
Wednesday. “On his own, he
[Officer Vitello] is putting forth
the effort to shorten the training
effort so it is not 14 weeks, it’s
more like 10 weeks.”
Officer Vitello has been with
the Belmar Police Department
since 2003.
Mayor Pringle was concerned
with the staffing of the K-9
Unit, stating that the training
was a big commitment. “Pete
[the dog that worked the last K9 Unit that Belmar had a few
years back and, has since, died]
was a cute little fellow,” Mayor
Pringle said, “but if you don’t
train him [Esso], he is not going
to be able to do the job.”
Mayor Pringle went on to say
that getting a dog for a K-9 Unit
“always sounds like a great thing
when it starts, like when a kid
says, ‘I’ll take care of the dog and
walk the dog all the time’ and it
doesn’t necessarily always work
out that way.”
Chief Hill replied, “I wouldn’t
disagree with you because that
was what I experienced the last
time [that Belmar decided to
institute a K-9 Unit]. “There is
training, eight hours of training
mandated every month,” Chief
Hill said. “This officer and the
dog will have to attend and it’s a
commitment.”
Chief Hill confirmed that he
had talked to Officer Vitello at
length about the training. “I said
if you agree to do this, you have
to understand that within our
culture that means it’s done,
there is no flexibility there,”
Chief Hill informed the mayor
and council. “You have to have
that dog with you and he has to
perform and you have to perform.”
“And he [Officer Vitello]
understands that,” Chief Hill
said, “and it will be written right
into the policies if you give us
the go ahead.” Chief Hill
explained that when Officer
Vitello and the dog come on
duty every day, “the first hour of
duty day is training and then he
[Officer Vitello] goes on the
road and does what normal
police officers do, as well as have
the tracking and narcotic jobs.”
“I look at it as an asset only
because there are time delays
when we have to track a burglary suspect and, if we had our own
dog, he would be right on the
scent right away, if he’s working,”
Chief Hill said.

all over the state. After Jim
Mooney sang beautiful renditions
of “The Soldier’s Song” and “The
Star Spangled Banner,” the
parade went into full swing.
Members of The Saint Patrick’s
Day Parade Committee of
Belmar marched in the parade,
followed by 2007’s Grand
Marshal, Brian T. Butch, and
2007’s Deputy Grand Marshal,
Claudia Monteverdi. Hundreds
of members of The Friendly Sons
of the Shillelagh from Old Bridge
and the Friendly Sons of the
Shillelagh, Jersey Shore Chapter,
proudly marched on Sunday.
Belmar’s Queen of the Court,
Ashley Geiselman, age 17, of
Howell, and her court, the first
runner up, Kerry Baglivio, age 19,
of Point Pleasant, the second runner up, Erin Conway, age 18, of
Ocean Township, the third runner
up, Christine Marie Brown, age
26, of Beachwood, and the fourth
runner up, Laurence Masson, age
18, of Freehold, followed the
Shillelaghs on a float.
Mayor Kenneth E. Pringle and
the Belmar Borough Council
marched behind the queen, with
Senator Frank R. Lautenberg,
Governor John Corzine and
Representative Rush Holt.
“I thought it was a great day,”
Mayor Pringle stated on Monday
morning. “The weather cooperated,” Mayor Pringle said. “It was
wonderful to see so many families
in town enjoying such a great
parade.”
Lake Como’s Mayor Michael
Ryan and the Borough Council
followed. “It’s one of the best
parades I’ve ever been to,” Mayor
Ryan stated, after the parade.
Mayor Ryan stated, with the
exception of Councilman Basil
Wolfe, who had a death in the
family, all of the council marched
in the parade.
“We had great volunteers from
the Wilton family to help us carry
our banner,” Mayor Ryan said.
Councilman Brian Wilton, who
was planning to celebrate after the
parade with a houseful of family
and friends, stated that it was the

“The goals of USGBC-NJ are

and the public,” Mr. Topinka
continued. “By publicly recognizing those who choose to take

“enthusiasm of the people” that
made the parade great.
The Belmar Elks Lodge, The
Belmar Teachers Association and
Wall Township’s Mayor, John W.
Tobia, and his Township
Committee also marched in the
parade, among others.
Approximately forty to fortyfive Irish Pipe and Drum bands
played the parade route on
Sunday, such as the Mercer
County Irish Band, Liafail. “It
[Liafail] means stone of destiny,”
band member John Devenney, of
Allentown, stated after the
parade. Liafail has marched and
played in the parade since 2000.
“It was a great crowd,” Mr.
Devenney said. “It’s always a great
crowd.” Mr. Devenney stated that
the “streets were full the whole
way, from the beginning to end.”
While the parade goers were
grateful for the warm sun that
kept peeking in and out of the
clouds, most of those in attendance huddled on the sidewalks
under blankets with loved ones,
fighting off the bitter wind and
the bouts of snow flurries. “It’s a
little chilly,” Ted O’Connell, who
traveled all the way from Union,
stated on Sunday. It was Mr.
O’Connell’s second time attending the parade.
However, Police Officer Brian
Ulman, from the Brick Township
Police Department, who was
patrolling the crowds on 13th
Avenue and Main Street came
right out and stated, “It’s cold.” It
was Officer Ulman’s first time
working the parade. “It’s a lot
larger than I would expect,”
Officer Ulman said. Office
Ulman stated that Brick Police
Officers were on patrol “to watch
the crowd” and “make sure no
vehicles get through the barricades.”
“We survived,” Lake Como’s
Police Chief Rosman Cash stated
on Monday morning. When
asked how the police department
faired at the parade, in regards to
problems that arose during and
after the parade, Chief Cash stated, “We’ve had worse and we’ve
had better.”
Chief Cash stated that there
were a couple of incidents of

Mr. Topinka said that LEED
is gaining momentum throughout the Garden State, as more
and more policy makers, corporations and developers in New
Jersey recognize that building
green not only makes good economic sense, it’s also good for
people and the environment.
“LEED buildings yield dramatic energy and water savings,”
Mr. Topinka explained. “They

under-aged drinking, numerous
parking complaints “that we normally get,” fights, one driving
while intoxicated arrest and a few
accounts of “urinating in public.”
“We [the Belmar and Lake
Como Police Departments] use
these golf carts during the parade
and one got stolen from the
Belmar Police Department,”
Chief Cash stated. The golf cart
that was on loan to the Belmar
Police Department was recovered
by two Lake Como Police
Officers on 16th Avenue yesterday.
“It [the parade] went very
well,” Belmar Chief of Police, Jack
Hill stated on Monday afternoon.
“The parade was a good day.”
“We did have some borough
ordinance summonses and vehicles summonses issued after the
parade, during the day,” Chief
Hill said. Chief Hill reported that
there were a total of 32 vehicle
summonses, 18 of which were for
for parking. Another 15 borough
ordinance summonses were
issued, seven of which were for
alcoholic beverage violations, five
of which were for urinating and
three of which were for other
types of violations.
“We had six arrests,” Chief Hill
said. Three of the arrests were for
DWI charges, one was for theft
and one was for disorderly conduct. The last arrest was for
aggravated assault. Jeffrey Jordan,
age 25, of Howell, was arrested
by
Special
Officer
Paul
Smikovecus, at 11 p.m. Sunday
night at the parking lot of the
Getty gas station, Belmar.
Mr. Jordan had gotten kicked
out of Bar Anticipation, earlier in
the night, and, soon after, gotten
in a fight with Matthew Paglioni,
a New York City Firefighter, who
suffered a broken eye orbit, a broken tibia and a broken fibula.
“We had foot beats in the area,”
Chief Hill said. “They responded
[to the scene].”
Mr. Jordan was then taken to
Monmouth County Correctional
Institution on $15,000 bail. The
reason for the fight is still under
investigation,
Chief
Hill
explained.
Dogs of all breeds were having
a grand old time on Sunday,
sporting green leashes, shamrock
printed bandanas and Irish
sweaters, just like their owners.
Two Golden retrievers, Kelly, age
five, and Riley, age nine, were
escorted to the parade by their
owners, Bob and Lyn Higgins, of
Manasquan.
Mr. and Mrs. Higgins have
brought their dogs to the parade
since the parade began in 1974
and Kelly and Riley have not
missed a parade yet. Kelly and
Riley, both rescue dogs, wore
shamrock antenna headbands and
occupancy rates, can command
higher rents, and can generate
significant sales premiums for
their owners and developers.
“Nationally, the products and
services market for green building exceeds $7 billion, with an
increase of 37 percent over last
year,” Mr. Topinka said.
LEED is a voluntary green
building rating system establishing national criteria for sustainable buildings. There are LEED
projects in all 50 states and 12
countries.
LEED addresses all building
types including new construction, commercial interiors, core
and shell, operations and mainte-
nance, homes, neighborhoods
and specific applications such as
retail, college campuses, schools,
healthcare facilities, laboratories
and lodging.
“LEED's momentum is also a
result of our growing awareness
that global climate change is real,
and that the building sector is the
major producer of CO2 emissions,” Mr. Topinka said.
“Because LEED certified buildings can reduce those emissions
by 50 percent, LEED affords us
an unprecedented opportunity to
make an immediate, measurable
impact on climate change.”
Irish bandanas. When asked
whether the dogs liked dressing
up for the occasion, Mr. Higgins
replied, “They don’t seem to
mind.”
According to the Belmar
Parade’s website, www.belmarparade.com, The Belmar and Lake
Como St. Patrick’s Day Parade
began in 1974 and was formed
and led by the Jerry Lynch Club.
The Saint Patrick’s Day Parade
was intended to be a showcase for
the “Irish Riviera.”
By 1985, the parade had
become such a success that it
needed its own committee. A
committee was formed in 1985 to

Manasquan
Public voices opinion on defeated fire budget
By Nick Malfitano
Members of the public took
the opportunity to voice their
opinion on the recently-defeated
Fire District No. 1 budget, and,
with members of Manasquan
Hook & Ladder Co. No. 1 in
attendance, it made for an interesting council meeting on
Monday night.
The Manasquan Fire District
No. 1 covers all of Manasquan
and includes Hook & Ladder
Co. No. 1 and Volunteer Engine
Co. No. 2.
During the regular meeting
portion of the evening, the first
item on the agenda was the public having the opportunity to
opine on the budget, which has
now come to the borough council for review and possible cuts
prior to its approval.
“We welcome everybody and
look forward to your comments,”
said Mayor Richard Dunne.
A back-and-forth debate on
the budget was not allowed,
although all present were allowed
to approach the microphone and
ask one question or provide one
comment on the proposed fire
budget, so that everyone would
have a chance to be heard.
Councilmen George Dempsey
excused himself from the meeting at this point, due to his cur-
A Prayer to the
Blessed Virgin Mary
O Most Beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel,
fruitful vine, splendor of heaven, blessed
Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin,
assist me in this, my necessity. Oh Star of the
Sea, help me and show herein you are my
Mother. O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of
Heaven and earth, I humbly beseech you from
the bottom of my heart, to succor me in this
necessity. There are none that can withstand
your power. Oh show me herein you are my
Mother. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray
for us who have recourse to thee (three times).
Sweet Mother, I place this cause in your hands
(three times), Sweet Mother, I place this cause
in your hands (three times).
Amen.
Say this prayer for 3 consecutive days, you
must publish it and it will be granted to you.

rent membership in Manasquan
as a volunteer firefighter with
Engine Co. No. 2.
The first citizen to inquire
about the budget was John
Tischio of Meadow Avenue,
who asked about the procedure
by which the council was examining the budget, specifically if
they were perusing the budget
line-item by line-item.
Mayor Dunne mentioned that
this phase had already been completed at the first meeting held
between the Manasquan Fire
District No. 1 and a committee
composed of councilmen Jeff
Lee and Joseph Lucas, plus
Municipal Administrator John
Trengrove, which occurred last
week. The mayor added that a
second meeting was to take place
this past Tuesday, and said the
suggestions given by the public
Monday night would factor into
those discussions.
Councilman Lucas said, “We
did go over each [line item], and
there are some questions that we
had and we requested some
answers. We’re going to have
that meeting tomorrow, along
with John [Trengrove], myself,
and Jeff [Lee], who’s not here
tonight. [Councilman] Mike
[Mangan] might be there also.”
Dick Meincke of North
McClellan Avenue began by
thanking the volunteer fire
department for the essential
services that they provide to the
town. Mr. Meincke went on to
that a 10 percent increase in the
budget is considerable, and that
the surplus amount of roughly
$200,000 is “excessive.”
Kristine Marcucci of North
Main Street asked as to the position of the Director of Fire
Services to be held by Nicholas
Marino, which is set to carry a
salary of $45,000 in the budget.
She asked if the position
includes benefits and if the position covers more than just
Manasquan.
Mr. Trengrove mentioned that
the director would “manage a lot
of the training, some of the [fire]
inspections — there’s a lot of
other tasks involved in it.”
The administrator said that no
benefits are included with the
position.
Mr. Lucas added that the
director also ensures all laws and
state-mandated requirements
relating to the fire department
and training procedures are followed.
As to whether the position
would cover more towns than
Manasquan, Mayor Dunne
replied that issue is still a topic of
ongoing discussion.
Mr. Tischio returned to the
microphone to ask if there are
any restrictions on the use of tax
dollars that the fire district
receives.
“Like a municipality, they have
to expend money to accomplish
the purposes of their mission,”
said Borough Attorney Ken
Fitzsimmons.
Mr. Fitzsimmons continued,
“There’s no [specific] list of purposes, only that the mandate of
the fire district to provide firefighting services to the commu-
nity, and the training and the
equipment and all of the things
that go with that is the mission
that they have.”
Mr. Fitzsimmons added that
no such list would exist for a governing body in the state of New
Jersey, to his knowledge.
Continuing, Mr. Fitzsimmons
said that the “fire district’s budget is subject to the scrutiny of the
Department of Community
Affairs,” and to that end, “it has
to follow the prescriptions of the
DCA,” and be audited annually.
Mr. Meincke expanded on the
Director of Fire Services position, saying that “$45,000 a year
for a part-time position to me
seems excessive,” and that the
duties of his position are “relevant to all towns,” and asked
whether his services could be
shared.
Councilman William Giunco
asked Mr. Fitzsimmons if there
is currently a cap on the amount
of the total fire district budget,
and if there was a recommended
level of surplus for the fire district, to which Mr. Fitzsimmons
commented that those would be
questions for Allen Schecter, the
borough auditor.
Next to address the council
was Nancy Hofstetter of Sea
Girt Avenue, wife of volunteer
fireman and Fire Commissioner
James Hofstetter, who read a
prepared
statement.
Mrs.
Hofstetter requested the proposed budget be approved with
no reductions, and felt that it was
“disheartening” that “people who
show no interest in what an
organization does all year long”
would appear at one meeting and
try to determine “what is best
[for the town].”
Mrs. Hofstetter continued by
saying that the fire district is a
“financially-responsible organization,” and that the surplus is
necessary for the department to
function and to protect the assets
of taxpayers and the safety of the
volunteers firefighters.
Also, Mrs. Hofstetter said the
expense required for the removal
of diesel exhaust from the firehouses is an OSHA guideline,
and a system designed to protect
the safety and health of the firefighters. Mrs. Hofstetter closed
by saying without the volunteer
firefighters, the cost of a paid
firefighting squad, including
training, benefits and other
expenses, would cost approximately $4 million annually, six
times the proposed budget
amount of $716,723.
“I can’t believe that anybody
would want to see the safety of
not only our firefighters, but of
the citizens of Manasquan as
well, compromised. Again, I ask
that you accept the proposed
budget in its entirety,” said Mrs.
Hofstetter, to a rousing round of
applause from all present members of Manasquan’s Hook &
Ladder Company No. 1.
Mrs. Marcucci returned to the
microphone to say that some citizens are on fixed incomes and
are thus concerned about any rise
in municipal budgets. Also, Mrs.
Marcucci noted that some borough parents have busy sched-
ules and are unable to attend
every meeting. Further, Mrs.
Marcucci said that “taking an
interest in the town and asking
questions is not necessarily putting anyone down or trying to
take anything away from anyone,” adding that she was quite
insulted by Mrs. Hofstetter’s
remarks.
Further, Mrs. Marcucci said
that she has relatives who serve
as firefighters and police officers
in Point Pleasant, and does support the work that they do. She
explained that her main concern
was “to ask why” certain things
associated with the budget were
occurring.
Next, Mr. Meincke commented that the cost for rentals and
leases of equipment has
increased from $80,000, to
$90,000 annually. Mr. Meincke
concluded his remarks by asking
the council for their consideration on this matter.
Sean Boyle of Pine Avenue,
and a member of Manasquan
Hook & Ladder Co. No. 1 was
next to speak. Mr. Boyle also
asked the council to accept the
budget as proposed with no
reductions, speaking as a volunteer firefighter of 24 years. Mr.
Boyle also said that the fire commissioners “have done a very
good job over the years and tried
to keep things down,” as it relates
to costs, and that the 2007 budget is “conscientious.”
At that point, the public hearing on the fire budget was closed.
Mayor Dunne thanked all who
participated, and reminded
everyone that a second meeting
between the council subcommittee and the board of fire commissioners was scheduled for the
next day.
When
contacted
on
Wednesday, Councilman Lucas,
who met with the fire district
representatives on Tuesday night,
would not comment specifically
on the talks. However, the councilman did indicate that “forward
progress has been made with the
fire district,” and that this coming Monday’s council meeting
would reveal what has been discussed between the two organizations. In addition, next week’s
meeting is again open to the
public, who are again invited to
comment on the status of the
budget.

The start of the summer will
kick off with a bang in
Manasquan, as the first-ever
Manasquan
Challenge
Aquathlon event is set for
Sunday, May 20 at 8 a.m. on the
Seawatch Beach.
An aquathlon is a sporting
event quickly growing in popularity comprised of running and
swimming. For a typical
aquathlon, the running and
swimming can take place anywhere as needed by the course
and local surroundings. The run
can take place on a road, trail or
path, and, likewise, the swim can
take place in a pool, reservoir,
lake or the ocean.
“This is a good, beginner-type
of multi-sport race, people typically recognize this as a fun race,”
said event coordinator John
Masterson, who added, “By the
standards of multi-sport athletes,
the setting is great.”
Aquathlons are designed for
participants to improve and
increase their level of cardiovascular fitness, as well as to transition athletes into multi-sport
competition. Making the event
attractive to participants is that it
costs little to be involved with,
requires less training time as
compared to a marathon or
triathlon and covers shorter race
distances.
The event is presented by the
Manasquan Fire Department,
Hook and Ladder Company No.
1, and all proceeds from the
event will be put towards the
Manasquan Fireman’s Fund,
which provides funding for
training and education, as well as
insurance, for firefighters. The
Manasquan Fire Department is
an all-volunteer unit whose
members are directly involved in
protecting the welfare of
Manasquan citizens. The group
also raises money for various
charitable causes.
The start and finish of the race
area will be Seawatch Beach,
with its parking lot used as the
only transition area. “Seawatch
Beach is conducive to this event,
the layout is very good,” Mr.
Masterson said. Free parking is
available to participants at
Stockton Lake Park, which is
only a few blocks away, although
plentiful street parking located
closer to the race area is anticipated.
The start of the swim course is
located on the water’s edge at
Seawatch Beach. To mark the
half-mile race course for those
participating, there will be
strategically-placed buoys in the
water. For those who may need
assistance in the water,
Manasquan lifeguards will be
located throughout the course on
surfboards,
boats
and
kayaks. The course will be
marked on the morning of the
race, tides and weather permitting. “We encourage people to
wear wetsuits [for this leg of the
race],” said Mr. Masterson.
At the completion of the swim
course, participants will exit the
water and proceed to the transition area in the Seawatch Beach
parking lot to change from their
swim gear into running clothes.
The four-mile course will start
on First Avenue and take the
racer north in the direction of
the National Guard Training
Center. In a packet given to all
racers, a map of the course will
be provided.
A racer will proceed north on
First Avenue, make a left onto
Stockton Ave., head right into
the Stockton Beach Park parking
Squan food pantry
in need of donations
By Nick Malfitano
For those in need, or who have
experienced a bad turn of events,
the Manasquan Food Pantry is
able to provide assistance.
The
non-denominational
pantry, based out of the First
Presbyterian
Church
in
Manasquan, serves anyone from
local communities in need of
food or those who have been
referred to their organization.
This year, the rate of people
contacting the pantry to help has
increased greatly, and assistance
is needed to ensure that those in
need will be able to obtain the
help they require.
“It’s an ongoing thing,” said
Julia Platt, a representative of the
group.
Those interested in donating
to the pantry can drop off nonperishable food items at the
donation bin located in the
Christian Education building,
next to the First Presbyterian
Church in Manasquan, located
at 16 Virginia Ave. In addition,
the “Curves” fitness center in
Wall Township is also collecting
donations for the pantry.
For those who feel they may
need the assistance of the
Manasquan Food Pantry, please
call 732-223-0898 to set up an
appointment. Regular appointments may be scheduled monthly, or on an as-needed basis.

of the body during the running
portion of the competition], and
additional items. Participants
can register online at www.manasquanchallenge.com. and provide the entry fee by credit card,
check or money order. Mr.
Masterson thanked Kirt Wahl,
an eighth-grade teacher at
Manasquan Elementary School
and three of his students, Nick
Ilaria, Dennis Maher and Shawn
Miller, for helping to design the
event’s web page.
Registration tables will be
located by the transition area in
the Seawatch Beach parking lot,
and will open at 6 a.m. and close
at 7:30 a.m. on the day of the
race. The race will last from
starting time at 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.
Following the race’s conclusion,
closing award ceremonies will
take place at 10:15 a.m.
Mr. Masterson hopes there
will be a fun and enthusiastic
crowd competing in this inaugural event. “We’re encouraging
people to do it for the first time,
we’re starting to get the word
out.”

Manasquan
Residents urge council to buy Schafer’s Grove property
By Nick Malfitano
The Manasquan Borough
Council heard strong and passionate public opinion on open
space with regard to Schafer’s
Grove at Monday night’s meeting.
During the public portion of
the meeting, Nancy Tischio, of
Meadow Avenue, opened up
discussion on the issue of open
space preservation of Schafer’s
Grove, a wooded area in
Manasquan measuring nearly
three acres and home to wetlands, wildlife, trees and shrubs.
Mrs. Tischio noted that the
owner of the property has
agreed to sell the land to
Manasquan for the Green Acres
appraised value of $1.6 million.
“It represents the last large
piece
of
property
in
Manasquan,” said Mrs. Tischio,
noting that the property is comprised of 16, 50-by-100-foot
lots.
The land is bordered by the
bike path, East Main Street and
a cemetery. Ingress would, most
likely, be off of East Main
Street only, and any development there would undergo
extremely tough scrutiny from
the planning board.
Mrs. Tischio added that the
New Jersey Department of
Environmental
Protection
[DEP] Green Acres funds can
be matched with other potential
grants from the county, state
and the borough’s open space
trust fund, which would defray
costs to taxpayers.
Mrs. Tischio closed by saying
that with overdevelopment and
population density of particular
concern in New Jersey, the
council should consider adding
the property to a list of preserved open space properties.
Mark McHugh, of Manitou
Road, also a member of the
open space commission, said
that Schafer’s Grove would be a
tremendous
addition
to
Manasquan’s open space, and is
“an ecologically important
area.”
Leah Yasenchak, of Acpoan
Place, also spoke about
Schafer’s Grove, saying that she
was an original member of the
Friends of Manasquan open
space group, which “launched
the open space initiative in the
community of Manasquan,” and
that “we need to be far-sighted
about the ultimate cost of
development” from school,
space and traffic aspects.
Stephanie Crawford, of
Central Avenue, said that the
property is a “beautiful piece of
land that hasn’t been touched in
over 100 years,” and that it
seems like such a gem.”
In response, the council
thanked the audience for their
comments on the Schafer’s
Grove property, but took no
action on the suggestions.
In other meeting news:
• The borough council
approved 17 requests for the use
of borough property for the
remainder of the year —
including those submitted by
Manasquan Little League
Parade and the Jersey Shore
Relay, both for use of Main
Street next month, and the
September
Chamber
of
Commerce’s Arts & Crafts
Festival in Squan Plaza, among
others — were approved unanimously.
Though when it came to
approving the request from the
Algonquin Arts Theatre to
show summer movies in Squan
Plaza, it was decided that the
theater would be billed for the
extra police coverage those
events require.
•
Councilman
Michael
Mangan discussed the proposed
zoning change on Union and
Euclid avenues from office to
residential, noting that eight
letters had been received by the
borough asking officials not to
make the change.
Councilman William Giunco
asked if any letters were
received in favor of the change,
to which Councilman Mangan
said
there
were
not.
Councilman Mangan also said
that the proposed zoning map
modifications will be tabled
until direction is received from
counsel.
Also, Borough Attorney Ken
Fitzsimmons
had
asked
Councilman Mangan to bring
up the issue of the borough’s
variance expiration ordinance,
which currently requires those
applying for a variance to return
to the planning board after a
period of ten and one-half
months if progress on the project is not completed.
A possible amendment to the
ordinance, which is still in the
discussion phase, would extend
the current length of time from
ten and a half months to an asyet unspecified amount of time,
which would could make a
return appearance before the
planning board unnecessary in
many
cases.
Councilman
Mangan said that no recommendation can be made by the
law and code committee until
further direction is received
from Mr. Fitzsimmons. Mayor
Richard Dunne suggested that
collaborating with the planning
board would help with this
issue.
•
Councilman
Mangan
requested an ordinance be
drafted prohibiting ball-playing
on public parks prior to 8 a.m.
Councilman Giunco had asked
if that includes school properties, but Mr. Fitzsimmons said
it was limited to boroughowned property.
• The council also discussed a
the letter from resident Scott
Monaghan requesting to house
Jet Skis in borough boat slips.
Councilman
Giunco
and
Councilman Ron Jacobson
agreed that approving the
request would set a negative
precedent, and the request was
denied.
• Patrick Disalvo was
appointed to the shade tree
commission, effective Monday
and continuing until Dec. 31,
2011.
• The Brick American Little
League and Big Blue Boosters
of Manasquan both had their
raffle licenses, for event to take
place at Leggett’s on April 13
and April 27 respectively,
approved.
• An ordinance to amend the
water and sewer rates for the
town was introduced, with a
second reading and public hearing scheduled for March 19.
This ordinance would repeal
the original ordinance that was
put into effect on Jan. 1 and
reduce the sewer and water
rates by $15 across the board for
the second yearly quarter of
2007, making the rate a flat
service fee of $84.50. Further,
the rates would be reinstated at
the regular flat price of $99.50
for the third and fourth quarters, due to a revised billing
from the South Monmouth
Regional Sewer Authority
[SMRSA].
The borough plans to return
to a cost consumption fee on
$2.98 per 1,000 gallons on
April 1.
• An ordinance to increase
parking permit fees in municipal lots located from 2nd to 4th
and Pompano avenues was
introduced, which would raise
the rates from last year’s
amounts of $70 for season parking, $5 for daily parking on
Monday through Thursday and
$10 for daily parking on Friday
through Sunday and holidays.
The new rates, which includes
sales tax, would be $75 for season parking, $6 for daily parking on Monday through
Thursday and $11 for daily
parking on Friday through
Sunday and holidays.
• Ordinances concerning
bonds for playground and recreation equipment at Curtis Park
and Mac’s Pond, and for beach
utility equipment and improvements were unable to be introduced at the meeting, due to the
absence of a supplemental debt
statement normally provided by
Borough
Auditor
Allen
Schecter. It was said at a prior
meeting that the bond ordinance would be roughly
$100,000 for this action, and
further action on these ordinances will be delayed until the
March 19 council meeting.
• Councilman Joseph Lucas
said that he received a memo
from Manasquan Police Chief
Dan Scimeca, asking that the
previously budgeted purchase of
patrol cars be done as soon as
possible so the cars can be
delivered before the end of the
year. Councilman Giunco asked
as to the time window the borough is operating in for the
purchase of the cars, to which
Municipal Administrator John
Trengrove could not give an
exact date, but mentioned that
it is not a significant amount of
time.
Councilman Lucas reiterated
that this accommodation had
been made in the past, and a
motion to approve the purchase
was made and approved.
• John Tischio of Meadow
Ave. commented on last week’s
article in The Coast Star regarding a survey of drug and alcohol
use of students at Manasquan
High School.
He asked if the high numbers
reflected in that survey have
corresponded
with
police
records to an increase in underage drinking arrests in the
town.
Mayor Dunne said the South
Monmouth
Community
Alliance is willing to help and
support Manasquan with this
problem. Mayor Dunne also
pointed out that data in the survey was also taken from students living in the high school’s
sending districts, and was not
limited solely to Manasquan.
Councilman Lucas said that
he has not researched whether
an increase in underage drinking arrests was noted in police
records, though did say that a
Manasquan police officer is
assigned to juvenile offenders,
and that he would ask the officer for the information on those
numbers.
• Mr. Tischio also asked if the
borough had considered using
solar electric power for the
department of public works
garage.
Councilman Giunco said that
eventually in the years to come,
an upgrade will be needed at
the water treatment plant due
to the electricity consumed by
the process of pumping power
there. Mr. Tischio said that it
was estimated last year that
between 10 and 20 percent of
electricity could be covered by
solar power at the garage, saving the borough a “nice hunk of
change” that could be beneficial
to the borough.
Mayor Dunne noted that
Councilman Jacobson is currently developing “a long-term
facilities plan” for the department of public works and the
water plant in particular, but
that the project is five to eight
years away from completion.

Local residents walk overnight
to promote suicide prevention
By Nick Malfitano
For those who have lost a
friend, relative, co-worker or
loved one to suicide, moving past
such a traumatic event is never
easy. Two local residents are
making that step, and, in fact,
they are making many steps by
participating in the “Out of the
Darkness” Overnight Walk,
being sponsored by the
American
Foundation
for
Suicide Prevention [AFSP].
Gina Disalvo of Manasquan
decided to participate in the
Overnight Walk after losing a
friend and co-worker of hers
named Laura to suicide last June.
“She had battled depression for
most of her life,” Ms. Disalvo
said. Since the date of the walk is
very close to the one-year
anniversary of Laura’s death, Ms.
Disalvo said that she couldn’t
think of a better way to honor
Laura’s memory. In addition,
Ms. Disalvo is walking with
three co-workers in the
Overnight Walk, with each having their own personal reasons
for their participation.
Avon-by-the-Sea
resident
Marie Dolan said that she
planned to participate in the
walk with her daughter Kelly, 26,
and that Kelly motivated her to
participate in the event. In addition, Mrs. Dolan was moved to
participate in the walk after losing her husband’s uncle, as well
as family friends, to suicide.
“Young people are affected by
stresses that school and society
place on them, and they don’t
know how to handle their
depression,” Mrs. Dolan said.
The 20-mile walk will take
place in New York City on June
9-10, beginning at 8 p.m. and
ending at 5 a.m. More than
2,400 people participated in similar events held in San Francisco
and Chicago this past summer.
Funds raised from those events
goes directly to support suicide
prevention research, supporting
survivors of suicide loss, and suicide awareness programs, both
on the local and national levels.
“We are excited about bringing this event to New York City,
the city that never sleeps,” said
Robert Gebbia, AFSP’s executive director. “Suicide is a national health problem that has been
kept secret for far too long. The
Overnight now gives those
touched by suicide or depression
a powerful way to bring the issue
‘Out of the Darkness.’”
Nearly 1 million people
attempt suicide annually, and
one of those attempts is successful every 16 minutes, with the
leading cause being depression,
which more than 20 million people suffer from each year. Suicide
is the fourth-leading cause of
death among adults 18-65, the
third-leading cause of death
among teens and young adults,
the second-leading cause of
death among college students
and can be attributed to roughly
Squan resident runs
for cancer research
By Nick Malfitano
Alison Scaduto will do her
part to fight cancer by facing
down a 26.2-mile race route in
the 111th annual Boston
Marathon, as part of the DanaFarber Marathon Challenge
[DFMC].
Ms. Scaduto, along with
DFMC teammates from all over
the United States and internationally, will run the time-honored route across Massachusetts
from Hopkinton to Boston, to
raise $4 million for cancer
research. For entry into the prestigious race, each individual runner had to raise a minimum of
$3,000 for the Claudia Adams
Barr Program in Innovative
Basic Cancer Research at the
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in
Boston.
Since the creation of the
DFMC in 1989, participating
runners in the marathon have
raised more than $30 million for
the Barr Program’s cancer
research. The program was
founded in 1987 by Dana-Farber
trustees and Jacksonvill Jaguars
principal owners Wayne and
Delores Weaver, to honor Mrs.
Weaver’s deceased mother who
lost her battle with cancer 30
years prior.
In 1990, Dana-Farber was
among the first charity organization to be provided with official
marathon numbers by the
Boston Athletic Association.
This year, 21 charities benefit
from the BAA’s program which
reaches out to these organizations.
The Dana-Farber Marathon
Challenge features training
assistance from Jack Fultz, the
Boston Marathon men’s champion in 1976, plus team training
runs, extensive fund-raising support and volunteer opportunities
for those not participating in the
race.
To contribute to the DanaFarber Marathon Challenge, go
online to www.dfmarathon.kintera.org or contact the DFMC
office at 917-632-1970 or e-mail
dfmc@dfci.harvard.edu.
14 percent of deaths for people
aged 65 to 85 per a population of
100,000.
Like Ms. Disalvo and Mrs.
Dolan, many of the participants
at the event will be walking or
volunteering in memory of a
friend, co-worker or loved one
that had committed suicide, or
has battled depression or other
mood disorders. To participate,
each walker must raise a minimum of $1,000, though volunteer crew positions are available
and do not require fund-raising.
Participants must be over the
age of 14, though if under 18,
must have a parent or guardian
present. All participants are
given a coach who provides them
with fund-raising and training
tips.
“It’s a good way to make people aware [of the issue],” said
Mrs. Dolan. “People should
know they’re not alone [with
their depression] and shouldn’t
be ashamed to ask for help.”
The AFSP is the only national, not-for-profit organization
exclusively dedicated to understanding and preventing suicide
through research and education,
and outreach towards those battling depression, mood disorders
or those personally affected by
suicide.

Assemblyman Wolfe critical
of school funding amounts
By Nick Malfitano
New
Jersey
State
Assemblyman David Wolfe [R10] is less than happy with the
new state aid education figures
for the 2008 fiscal year released
last week by Trenton.
“It’s a token increase.
Governor Corzine has done
nothing more than throw us a
bone,” said the assemblyman.
“He told us earlier this week he
was going to increase school aid
for non-Abbott [districts] for
the first time in five years, but
after seeing the actual numbers,
this isn’t anything to get excited
about.”
Mr. Wolfe continued his criticism, charging that the governor’s motives on this matter are
purely political.
“In fact, it’s quite obvious
this is nothing more than an
election-year gimmick. Believe
me, it won’t take school districts
and taxpayers long to see
through the smoke and mirrors,
especially when their property
taxes go up again.”
Last week, the Corzine
Administration announced its
proposed statewide education
aid figures that call for an overall increase of slightly over $300
million, with $194 million set
aside for non-Abbott districts,
in other words, school districts
who are not struggling to provide basic educational needs to
their students.
Consequently, many districts
will receive a 3 percent increase
in funding, while other districts
will receive an additional
increase based on criteria determined by the governor’s administration.
Mr. Wolfe made note of the
fact that most districts will see
little more than a 3 percent
increase in aid following 5 years
of flat funding, which cost
many school districts nearly
$2.2 billion in state aid to education.
Manasquan, which is located
in the assemblyman’s legislative
district, will see a 3.2 percent
increase over the aid amount
provided by the state last year.
The increase amounts to
$28,743, for a total of $986,849
in education aid for the 200708 fiscal year, compared to
$958,106 for 2006-07.
“It’s too little, too late. In
relationship to all the funds we
lost the past several years, it’s
just a stop-gap [solution],” said
Mr. Wolfe. “What we desperately need is a new school funding formula now.”
Mr. Wolfe further elaborated
on his disbelief towards the
proposed budget.
“I really don’t understand
how the governor developed a
new state budget with a new
funding formula. It’s key to
providing real, sustainable
property tax reform. Without
it, property taxes will continue
to rise despite the so-called 4
percent cap.”
Last year during a Special
Session on Property Taxes, Mr.
Wolfe served as a member of
the
Joint
Legislative
Committee on Public School
Funding Reform, and said that
the failure of the committee to
develop a new education funding formula was “a colossal mistake,”
The assemblyman added,
“Serving on that committee and
coming away without a new
funding formula was extremely
frustrating. As far as I’m concerned, we’re back to square
one. Unfortunately, it’s our students and taxpayers who will
continue to suffer the most.”

Monmouth County Historical
Commission awards grants
Recently, the Monmouth
County Historical Commission
awarded preservation grants for
19 restoration projects in 13
municipalities around the county totaling $70,000, including
one for $4,180 for the Squan
Beach Life Saving Station in
Manasquan.
In addition, $3,900 was given
for roof repairs at Camp Evans
and $3,688 was provided to the
B a r k a l o w
Homestead/Blansingburg
Schoolhouse in Wall Township.
The commission’s 18th
Annual Preservation Awards
Ceremony was held Feb. 26 at
the
Monmouth
County
Agricultural Building, located
in Freehold Township. Acting as
the event’s guest speaker was
Freeholder Deputy Director
Lillian G. Burry, a longtime
supporter of historic preservation in Monmouth County.
The Historical Commission
is “dedicated to preserving the
past and creating a living history.” Since its creation 19 years
ago, the preservation grant program has provided funds for
smaller organizations in their
mission to protect the county’s
historic tradition.
In her opening statement,
Freeholder Burry said, “These
grants directly support the great
work being done by the community. Through our collective
efforts, we are helping to share
not just our story, but also a
greater understanding and
appreciation of who we are as a
people.”
Added Freeholder Burry,
“Groups the commission have
assisted come from every part of
the county — from Matawan in
the north, to Manasquan in the
south, from Allentown in the
west, to Neptune on the shore,
helping others to help them-
selves in the restoration of oneroom
schoolhouses,
Revolutionary War houses,
monuments and museums to
cow barns and farm houses.”
Having served as a member
of the Matawan Borough
Council, Freeholder Burry led
Matawan’s
Historic
Preservation Program, during
the tenure of which the organization bought and restored the
borough’s most historic 1700’s
Burrows Mansion. Currently,
the freeholder is chairperson of
the Colts Neck Historical
Preservation Committee.
The Monmouth County
Historical Commission is an
official county body created by
the
Board
of
Chosen
Freeholders for the “preservation and conservation” of
Monmouth County history.
Started in 1988, its principal
program is the awarding of
preservation grants, which recognize the need for funds to
preserve the rich historic legacy
of the county. The Monmouth
County Historical Commission
grants funds competitively to
municipalities and nonprofit
organizations who require
financial assistance in the
restoration or preservation of
historic sites.
The types of projects usually
receiving funds are those involving “preservation, restoration or
rehabilitation of historic structures, usually 50 years or older,
and which are accessible to the
public.” The program covers
essential structural work for
projects colloquially known as
“bricks and mortar undertakings.”
“We have a good mix of
grantees, including a number
with repeated grants as well as
first-time applicants,” said
Randall Gabrielan, the commis-
sion’s executive director. “The
Historical Commission makes it
known we can provide sustained
support and open the door for
new projects.”
Each grant application must
include a description of the purpose of work to be done at a
particular site, the site’s meaning to local history and the significance and audience it serves.
It also must include a specific
budget for the project, a matching source of equal funding
available for the applicant’s contributions, detailed quotations
for the work, the materials to be
used in the project and a
timetable for completion.
This year, the total amount
available for matching grants is
$70,000. There is a $500 minimum and a $5,000 maximum
grant per application in any
given year.
Each grantee is mandated to
submit interim and final reports
of the project, and the documents are to be accompanied by
three photographs which detail
project progress. The interim
report is due when 50 percent of
the work is completed, and the
final report due at completion,
must show evidence of said
completion and a cancelled
check, showing payment to the
contractor.
The annual deadline for grant
applications is Nov. 1, and successful applicants were informed
shortly after the January commission meeting.
In Manasquan, the Squan
Beach Life Saving Station was
the recipient of a matching
grant in the amount of $4,180,
and accepted by two members
of the Squan Beach Life Saving
Station
Preservation
Committee, John Tischio and
Mary Ware.

Former Squan BOE member, MHS coach, sports teams honored
By Nick Malfitano
At the last Manasquan Board
of Education meeting on Feb.
27, former board member Susan
Bramley and Manasquan High
School Girls Tennis coach Rod
Ravaioli were honored by the
board for dedication in their
respective fields and their contributions to the community.
Mrs. Bramley was introduced
at the meeting by board president Patricia Walsh, who mentioned that she has known Mrs.
Bramley for more than 20 years,
and referenced the help provided to her by Mrs. Bramley when
she was first elected to the
board.
“Susan was a board member
[at the time], welcomed me with
open arms and walked me
through the ropes. I had the
privilege of working with her for
many years,” said Mrs. Walsh.
Mrs. Bramley then proceeded
to the front of the room to
accept an official proclamation,
which recognized her 22 years
serving the school district of
Manasquan on its board of education. However, it was also recognized that Mrs. Bramley’s
contributions have reached
beyond Manasquan.
At that point, a special guest
made an appearance to also congratulate and honor the former

By Meghan Berry
The Brielle Board of
Education held a special budget
work session last Wednesday to
provide Brielle residents an
understanding of the proposed
$10.5 million budget, which, if
passed, will allow the school to
maintain its current offerings.
The proposed 2007-2008 budget
does not leave room for additional programs and staffing, or any
other school improvements.
The proposed total school
budget for 2007-2008 is
$10,491,025. The 2006-2007
school budget was $9,575,036.
This represents an increase of
$915,989 in school expenses for
the 2007-2008 school year. Of
that amount, $621,352 are designated as non-discretionary costs,
meaning that the board is
required by law to provide those
services to students, the board’s
finance chair, Tedd Vitale,
explained.
Mr. Vitale, who led the budget
work session, said that 92.79 percent of the budget will be raised
through local taxation. Five percent comes in the form of state
and federal aid, he said. About
$6,100 from surplus and other
fund accounts will be applied to
the budget.
Mr. Vitale outlined areas of
increased costs in a spread sheet
for the approximately 100 people
in attendance. He explained that
the bulk of non-discretionary
cost increases are for tuition for
special education students and
Brielle
students
attending
Manasquan High School and
vocational schools.
Special education costs for the
2007-2008
budget
total
$766,627, an increase of
$315,373 from 2006-2007. Mr.
Vitale explained that three new
special education students, who
require individualized education
programs, have enrolled in the
Brielle school.
Tuition for Brielle students
attending Manasquan High
School has increased by $239,361
in the last year. The increase
reflects a tuition adjustment of
$93,411 from 2004-2005 that is
owed to Manasquan, a tuition
rate of $11,000 per student for
206 students for the 2007-2008
school year, and $93,100 in
tuition for Brielle students to
attend vocational schools.
During the 2006-2007 school
year, Manasquan High School
tuition was $10,250 per student.
Superintendent
Joseph
Torrone
explained
that
Manasquan High School students from Manasquan and each
of its sending districts is the
same. He also noted that the
Manasquan High School cost per
pupil is lower than that for stu-
dents at Point Pleasant Borough
High School.
Transportation is also an area
of significant non-discretionary
cost increase. Transportation
expenses for the upcoming school
year will increase by $108,652.
This figure includes the transportation of both regular and
special education students.
Business
Administrator
Edward McManus explained
that while many students are
brought to school by their parents or drive themselves to high
school, the district is required by
law to provide a seat for the number of students eligible to ride the
bus. He also noted that twothirds of the school’s transportation budget is for transportation
of special education students.
The law also states that the
district is required to provide
transportation for any Brielle student that goes to a private school,
such as St. Rose or Christian
Brothers
Academy,
Mr.
McManus said.
Laidlaw Education Services, a
division of Laidlaw Transit, is the
school’s primary bus company,
Mr. McManus noted.
Employee benefits and salaries
for regular education teachers are
the areas of the most significant
increases in contractual expenses.
Costs for benefits have increased
by $107,188 since the previous
school year, while salaries will rise
by $111,208.
Mr. McManus explained that
about a quarter of the school’s
teachers opt to waive their benefits and receive a monetary compensation totaling 50 percent of
what their benefits package is
worth.
Mr. Vitale said that as recent
as six months ago, the board
shopped around for health care
coverage and determined that the
school’s current plan yields a
greater savings than the state
health benefits plan. Mr. Torrone
also noted that there has been
savings in the area of benefits due
to the “younger, vibrant staff.”
Leftover, or non-contractual
expenses, are primarily energy
expenses and legal fees, Mr.
Vitale explained. He noted that
the board will soon enter a negotiations period with the teachers’
union, which accounts for the
bulk of legal costs.
Mr. Vitale also outlined revenue from state sources. The
school will receive $379,982 for
special education costs and
$276,104 in “other aid,” which
includes aid for districts with
above-average growth enrollment. The total state aid,
$656,086, which has already been
factored into the 2007-2008 proposed budget, accounts for 6.25
percent of overall expenses.
Mr. Torrone told last
Wednesday’s audience that
Brielle is considered a “wealthy
district” by state standards, and is
therefore not eligible for much
aid.
Mr. Vitale, who has also
worked with the three previous
school budgets, said that he has
reviewed the 2007-2008 proposed budget many times.
“If the budget doesn’t pass,” he
said, “we will have to reduce
items other than special education, Manasquan tuition and
healthcare.”
Mr. Vitale continued, “We will
have to reduce items in areas that
really effect the children ––
buildings, curriculum, programs,
extracurriculars and staff positions.”
Of the four budget processes
Mr. Vitale has gone through, he
said that this is the most unique.
“This budget has the most significant increases the [the board]
does not have discretion over,” he
said.
If the budget fails at the polls
on Tuesday, April 17, the borough council will set the school’s
budget for 2007-2008, which
could result in reductions, Mr.
McManus explained.
Gary Abadrabo and Stephen
DePaul will lead the board of
education’s community outreach
efforts to communicate the facts
of the budget with members of
the public.
“We need your help to sell
these numbers,” Mr. Abadrabo
said to the audience last
Wednesday.
Mr. Abadrabo and Mr.
DePaul will host a series of
informative budget meetings
within the next several weeks and
plan to target groups, such as
senior citizens, that have not historically supported the school
budget.
Mr. DePaul said that in order
to get the budget passed, the
board must overcome some town
hurdles, including the public’s
perception of the board.
When asked how the public
can help, Mr. DePaul said,
“Understand the budget.” He and
other members of the board also
encourage people to get out and
vote.
Board of education president
Julia Barnes noted the importance of increased voter participation as the budget has either
passed or failed by no more than
50 votes in recent years.
Mr. Abadrabo also suggested
that concerned parents volunteer
their house as a meeting place for
budget information sessions.
Mr Vitale concluded,“We [the
board] are not asking for anything new, and you’re going to
keep hearing that message.”

The construction office, which
will be shared between the boroughs of Brielle, Sea Girt, Spring
Lake and Spring Lake Heights
and located in Spring Lake’s borough hall, is open weekdays from
8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The office maintains a secretary and one construction official, Albert P. Ratz Jr.
Under the former system, a
construction official was available
to the residents of each borough

on Old Bridge Road in Brielle,
was appointed the borough’s public defender.
• Councilwoman Ann Scott,
chair of public works department,
reported that she had attended a
seminar on memory loss presented by the county’s office on aging.
She explained that memory loss

early diagnosis. Four FDA medications are available for those
with Alzheimer’s, while 120 drugs
are in the department’s testing
stage, Councilwoman Scott said.
The councilwoman also reported via the office on aging the

time. The offer is not restricted to
those of certain income levels,
Councilwoman Scott said.
• The councilwoman also

local government stand before the
state legislature.
• Councilman Cort Gorham,
chair of the finance committee,
reminded the audience that the
budget hearing will be held on

• Councilman Bolger encouraged residents to attend Monday’s
budget hearing, noting that the
borough auditor will be present to
answer questions. The councilman pointed out that a large portion of tax dollars go to the county and the Brielle school and
urged residents to examine both
the county and school budgets, as
well.
“The board of education takes
their job seriously and does all in
their power to produce a lean
budget,” Councilman Bolger
added.
• Councilman Garruzzo
reported on police activity in
Brielle for the month of January.
Nineteen adult arrests were made,
12 of which were drunk driving

313 cases.
• Mayor Thomas B. Nicol said
that he attended a Blue and Gold
Cub Scouts dinner, “a great gettogether.” He noted that 200
Brielle boys participate in Boy
Scouting.
• The public comment portion
of the meeting was dominated by
remarks on the library conflict.
Tom Kindry, who identified himself as a 30-year resident of
Brielle, likened the council’s dealing with the library to “cannibalism” and asked the governing
body to “restore sanity to our
town.” His comments were met
with applause from some members of the audience.
South Street resident Charles
di Pierro read what he titled, “My
second open letter to Brielle
Councilman Bolger.” His letter
asserted that there has been no
misappropriation of funds on the
part of the library. He concluded,
“And, please, stop trying to penalize the library for managing itself
more efficiently than your budget
had anticipated.” Mr. di Pierro’s
letter was also met with applause
from some members of the audience.
A member of the Committee
to Protect the Brielle Library, presented Mr. Nolan with 435 additional signatures on the group’s
petition to grant the library its
2006 fourth quarter funding and
to cease litigation. The committee’s representative noted that the
total signatures on the petition
now accounts for nearly 10 percent of Brielle residents.
Resident questions Shaak’s roles in public safety realm
By Meghan Berry
William Brannick, a resident
of Schoolhouse Road, asserted
that a conflict of interest exists
with Councilman Timothy
Shaak holding the positions of
both fire chief and fire commissioner in the borough.
Mr. Brannick made the comments during last Monday’s borough council meeting and made
a similar statement at a previous
council
meeting
which
Councilman Shaak did not
attend. The resident expressed
aggravation over the councilman’s written response to his
comments, which included
applications for first aid squad
and fire company membership.
“What are they [the council]
saying, ‘put up or shut up?’” Mr.
Brannick asked in a recent letter
to the editor of The Coast Star.
Councilman Shaak later said
that he had sent the applications
to Mr. Brannick to suggest that
joining either the fire company
or first aid squad would help him
“to better understand the organization.” The councilman also
noted that Mr. Brannick, as a
registered nurse, could be useful
to either department.
Borough Administrator Tom
Nolan provided Mr. Brannick
with a copy of the municipal
code that outlines the fire company’s leadership.
“The Fire Department and
members of the Fire Department
shall be under the immediate
charge and direction of the
Mayor and Public Safety
Committee of the Borough
Council; subject, however, to the
ultimate control of the Borough
Council,” the municipal code
reads.
Additionally, the code states
that “all reports shall be made
and transmitted to the Public
Safety Committee by the acting
head of the Fire Department.”
The public safety committee is
chaired by Councilman Frank
Garruzzo. Councilmen Shaak
and Richard Bolger are sitting
members of the committee. As
chairman, Councilman Garruzzo
serves as police commissioner.
Councilman Bolger is the First
Aid Commissioner
and
Councilman Shaak is the Fire
Commissioner. The three commissioner positions are delegated
according to municipal code and
are unpaid appointments.
Councilman Shaak is also the
borough’s fire chief, president of
the first aid squad and is the borough’s emergency management
coordinator.
Mr. Brannick takes issue with
Councilman Shaak “supervising
himself,” he said, as both fire
commissioner and fire chief, and
as a member of the public safety
committee and first aid president.
Mr. Nolan has explained that
Councilman Shaak has abstained
on all votes that relate to either
the fire company or the first aid
squad.
Mr. Shaak also said that he
would “recuse himself ” from voting on any fire or first aid issues
that are raised to the level of the
borough council.
In response to Mr. Brannick’s
concerns, Councilman Shaak
shared Mr. Brannick’s comments
with the membership of the fire
company and the first aid squad.
Both groups were asked if, in
their opinion, a conflict of interest exists in the councilman’s
multiple appointments in the
public safety realm.
As of Monday evening,
Councilman Shaak said he had
received just two negative
responses from the some 60
members of the fire department
and first aid squad.
Of the two responses,
Councilman Shaak said those in
objection are “more than welcome to put a motion on the
floor at the next council meeting
to remove me as fire chief.
“The fire commissioner is
simply a liaison [between the fire
company and the borough council,” Councilman Shaak said.
He added, “I am not out
supervising myself … I volunteer
because I want to, not because I
have to.”
The councilman is currently
serving his third, non-consecutive year as president of the first
aid squad. He is a seven-term fire
chief, the longest serving in the
department’s history.

By Meghan Berry
Spring Lake Fire Chief
William Newman appeared
before the mayor and council on
Tuesday evening to raise objection to the amount of money
allocated to the fire department
in the proposed 2007 municipal
budget.
Chief Newman said he was
informed last week that this
year’s fire equipment operating
budget, which he oversees as
chief, would see a $30,000
decrease from last year. The
chief, who was accompanied by
Deputy Fire Chief Ed Megill of
the Goodwill Fire Company and
other fire volunteers, said he had
submitted a request for a nearly
$71,000 allotment for the fire
department in this year’s municipal budget.
Chief Newman expressed
frustration over never having
been invited to sit down with
Borough Administrator Thomas
Ferguson or any member of the
finance committee to discuss his
request, as he had indicated he
was willing to do.
On average, according to
Chief Newman, the fire budget
has been about $50,000 for the
last six years. He asserted that
the council did not take safety or
inflating equipment costs into
account when deciding to allocate $40,290 to the fire department for 2007.
“As fire chief, I must go on
record stating that the proposed
budget is not sufficient to run
the fire department,” Chief
Newman said.
He continued, “I have a fiduciary responsibility to the fire
fighters and the residents of
Spring Lake. The budget, as proposed, places both at risk.”
Chief Newman explained that
if the $40,290 proposed fire
budget was implemented, the
department would be left with
just $13,472 after salaries were
paid and equipment repair,
maintenance and testing were
completed. This remainder
would then be split –– $6,736
each way –– by the two fire companies in the borough.
“If the finance committee had
met with me, I would have
informed them that you cannot
keep a fire department going for
$40,000 per year,” Chief
Newman said. “I was prepared to
answer any of their questions
concerning the type of equipment that the fire department
needs to do its job safely and
properly. However, that meeting
never took place.”
Deputy Chief Megill also
addressed the council to call further attention to the deficiency
in the council’s proposed fire
budget. He explained that mandated equipment upgrades,
among other things, are an unanticipated cost that will be
required of the fire companies
within the next year.
“There was no intention to
shut you out of the budget
process,”
Mayor
Jennifer
Naughton assured the firemen in
the audience. She explained that
the borough administrator and
finance committee had met with
as many departments heads as
possible to discuss budget matters.
She and the council agreed to
take the chiefs’ comments into
consideration.
The 2007 municipal budget,
which was introduced during
Tuesday evening’s meeting of the
mayor and council, will be heard
publicly on Tuesday, April 3. A
detailed presentation of the
budget by Mr. Ferguson is anticipated.
Special guests read
to Mountz students
By Meghan Berry
A popular children’s author,
who went by the name Dr.
Seuss, celebrated a birthday on
Friday. In observance of the
rhyming writer’s contribution
to children’s literature, schools
nationwide observed a special
program, Read Across America.
Under the Buddy Program at
the H.W. Mountz School,
older students read stories to
their younger counterparts, and
many enjoyed Dr. Seuss’ own
tales last week.
The day of enrichment was
highlighted by visits to the
school from some local celebrities, including members of the
Spring
Lake
Police
Department, the fire company
and even a mailman. These special guests captivated students
with their own selection of children’s stories, which they read
aloud to an enthused audience
of youngsters.

Drug Alliance hosts
school basketball game
By Meghan Berry
The Spring Lake Drug
Prevention Alliance hosted a
community night at the H. W.
Mountz School on Tuesday with
eighth grade boys and girls chal-
lenging Spring Lake’s finest in a
Cops vs. Kids basketball game.
The friendly competition,
which is in its tenth year, was
intended to demonstrate the
wonderful relationship that
exists between the borough’s
children and its police force.
Mayor Jennifer Naughton,
who opened the evening’s festivities, later said, “The borough is
fortunate to have a relationship
between the police and the
school.”
Of the event’s organizer, Drug
Prevention Alliance Coordinator
Ray DuBois, Mayor Naughton
said he “does a tremendous job”
and “works tirelessly behind the
scenes.”
The evening was not all fun
and games as Steve Gioglio, a
professional drummer who has
played with Bruce Springsteen
and Bon Jovi, brought a face to
drug addiction. He shared his
own story of the long road to
recovery, which included trading
drugs for marathon running.
The famed percussionist also
entertained with a set on the
drums.

“‘You can tell them I am their
angel,’” Mrs. Patterson said,
recalling
Mrs.
Stockdale’s
remarks regarding the first aid
squad being named to receive a
large portion of her estate.
The witness also recalled the
turmoil surrounding the squad’s
funding and acquisition of a new
building during the mid 1990s.
Mrs. Patterson testified that
Mrs. Stockdale had expressed
interest in funding a new building for the first aid squad and
replacing an outdated ambulance.
Mr. Loughrey then directed
attention to Mrs. Stockdale’s
November 1994 car accident in
Sea Girt, to which the Spring
Lake First Aid Squad, among
other area squads, responded.
Mrs. Patterson was a member
of the borough’s first aid squad at
the time, but was not on duty
and did not respond to the scene
of the multi-car accident. She
did, however, visit Mrs.
Stockdale in a convalescence
center as she recovered.
Just a few months later, in
January 1995, Mrs. Stockdale
reached out to Mrs. Patterson
after falling in her home. Mrs.
Patterson testified that Mrs.
Stockdale had placed a call to her
cell phone, but was barely able to
communicate. She alerted the
police and first aid squad, who
along with Mrs. Patterson herself, went to the Stockdale residence. The group gained entry to
the house with a key Mrs.
Stockdale had provided Mrs.
Patterson.
Mrs. Patterson testified that
Mrs. Stockdale was found on her
bedroom floor and was covered
in her own feces. She had injured
her hip and was transported to
Jersey Shore University Medical
Center, Neptune, where she
underwent surgery.
Mrs. Stockdale then had a second stay at a rehabilitation center
and was later brought home by
Mrs. Patterson, she said.
The witness, who had frequently brought Mrs. Stockdale
food, said she “stepped up the
food program” after she was
released from the rehabilitation
center.
Once a week, Mrs. Patterson
testified, she would bring Mrs.
Stockdale pureed dishes, as she
had problems swallowing whole
food. Mrs. Patterson also
brought her friend to Pathmark,
where Mrs. Stockdale, noted for
her frugality, found the best
prices on groceries, she said.
Mrs. Patterson explained that
she had recommended to Mrs.
Stockdale that she stay in a nursing home over the winter, as her
home had insufficient heating, a
suggestion that was rebuffed.
On Dec. 9, 1999, Spring Lake
Police received a distress call
from Mrs. Stockdale. The police
contacted Mrs. Patterson, knowing that she had a key to the
home.
Mrs. Stockdale was once again
found in her bedroom. Mrs.
Patterson testified to Mrs.
Stockdale’s confusion and said
the old woman did not know
when she had fallen, but had a
heating pad and its cord wrapped
around one of her legs.
The prosecutor said that during a four-week hiatus in communication
between
Mrs.
Patterson and Mrs. Stockdale,
when the Pattersons were in
Florida, Mrs. Stockdale’s condition declined even further.
The witness explained that
upon return from her trip, she
called Mrs. Stockdale. A woman,
who spoke broken English and
was later identified in court as
“Nanna,” answered the telephone. The woman told Mrs.
Patterson that Mrs. Stockdale
was sleeping. Mrs. Patterson said
she told Nanna that she was
coming over.
When Mrs. Patterson pulled
into the driveway of the Monroe
Avenue residence, she noted several pieces of furniture in the
driveway. Having left her key to
the Stockdale home behind,
Mrs. Patterson honked her car’s
horn. No one responded.
The witness explained that she
returned home and called Mrs.
Stockdale’s number and asked
Nanna, who once again answered
Mrs. Stockdale’s telephone,
where she was. The woman, who
admitted to Mrs. Patterson that
she had only recently arrived in
the United States, did not know
where she was. She described a
brick building and mentioned a
number.
The next day, Mrs. Patterson
testified, she went out and
knocked on the doors of homes
in the area that could have fit the
description given by “Nanna.”
This pursuit eventually brought
Mrs. Patterson to the Colony
Club Apartments in Spring Lake
Heights, she said.
There, Mrs. Patterson said, she
found Mrs. Stockdale in an
apartment, bedridden, and noted
her emaciated form.
“‘I don’t know all the places
I’ve been,’” Mrs. Patterson said
Mrs. Stockdale told her.
After cleaning up Mrs.
Stockdale, who, according to
Mrs. Patterson was covered in
feces and had dirt under her fingernails, she went home and
promised to return with food,
mail and Mrs. Stockdale’s checkbook, as per her request.
When she returned the following day, Mrs. Patterson said,
she met one of the defendants,
Ronald Sollitto, for the first

time.
Mrs. Patterson confessed to
feeling “ushered” out the door by
Dr. Sollitto, a comment which
presiding Superior Court Judge
Ira Kreizman told jurors to disregard.
Mrs. Patterson testified that
Dr. Sollitto told her of Mrs.
Stockdale’s esophageal condition, which prompted surgery,
but excused Mrs. Patterson,
without offering more in-depth
details of her friend’s condition.
Defense lawyers began to cross
examine Mrs. Patterson on
Wednesday afternoon, a process
that will continue today.
Mr. Sollitto is facing charges
of conspiracy to commit theft,
theft by deception, forgery, falsifying records, theft by failure to
make required disposition and
theft of moveable property. He is
also charged with neglect of an
elderly or disabled person for
failure to provide Ms. Stockdale
with adequate medical care after
relocating her from her Monroe
and Ocean avenue home to an
apartment in Spring Lake
Heights.
If convicted of all charges, Mr.
Sollitto could be sentenced to up
to 45 years in prison.
Mr. Casale, who was Mr.
Sollitto’s attorney, is facing lesser,
but related, charges and could be
sentenced up to 15 years, if convicted.
The pair may also face extensive fines, if convicted.

Wall Township
Camp Evans displays
historic Army beacon
By Fred Carl
General Eisenhower and the
planners of the D-Day invasion
faced many challenges in their
quest to break Hitler’s Atlantic
Wall and liberate Europe.
Thousands of brave allied soldiers were positioned in
England for the invasion. They
were ready and willing to sacrifice their lives and give up
every one of their tomorrows to
save democracy.
A key part of the invasion
plan was to parachute thousands of soldiers behind the
Normandy beaches the night
before the main landing. They
had the goal of capturing key
bridges and cutting communication lines to delay the expected Nazi counter attack as long
as possible. They were called
the Pathfinders and their
advance guard carried a secret
radio beacon designed and tested at Camp Evans in Wall
Township.
To be successful, the
Pathfinders needed to mass
their forces. If they were spread
all over Normandy they would
not be an effective force against
the hundreds of thousands of
Axis soldiers ready to repel the
allied forces.
The secret radio beacon,
called the PPN-2, enabled the
advance guard of pathfinders to
guide the following waves of
gliders and paratroopers to
selected landing zones. The
beacons had to be undetectable
by enemy troops or equipment
and had to work in the dead of
night. The planes had equipment to locate the beacon signals as they flew toward
Normandy. The pilots attempted to land their gliders or drop
their paratroopers as near to
the beacons as possible.
The security of the beacons
was so important that they
were designed in secret with
integrated
self-contained
explosive destruction charge.
Those who used the units in
combat were instructed that if
they were in danger of being
captured to “unscrew the red
cap and jerk the wire attached
to it, then run!”
The unit
would explode into a thousand
unusable bits. If one was captured intact the enemy could
use the beacons to lead allied
solders into ambushes.
The beacon weighs 18
pounds and has a six foot
antenna. This was no iPod.
With the antenna and protective canvas bag the Pathfinder
had an additional 33 pounds of
weight hung on him as he
jumped into the darkness that
fateful night.
WW II veteran and InfoAge
The PPN-2, an 18-pound radio beacon with a six foot antenna, was used during WWII to secretly advance soldiers during the D-Day invasion. Accompanying the beacon is a G.I. Joe figure with
a miniature PPN-2 made to honor the bravery of the soldiers.
member Bernard Martin gifted
a PPN-2 he purchased as
Army surplus in the 1950s. It is
now on display at Camp Evans,
minus
its
self-destructor
charge. Ray Chase of the New
Jersey Antique Radio Club has
set up the unit as a display with
his research into the history
and technology used in the
device.
Accompanying the
beacon is a Hasbro G.I. Joe
action figure with a miniature
PPN-2 made to honor the
bravery of the Normandy
Pathfinders.
The preserving of a PPN-2 is
another example of why Camp
Evans is New Jersey’s WW II
Living Memorial. Children can

Wall Township
Proposed children’s center faces planner scrutiny again
By Dan Zomack
Mylestone Holdings, the
company that proposed constructing a children’s center
between Paynter’s Road and
Route 34 at a Jan. 29 hearing,
once again met a fierce round of
questioning from the Wall
Township’s Planning Board
regarding the plan.
Like Mylestone’s first hearing, many township residents
braved the cold weather once
again to voice their opposition to
the plan, in which Mylestone
proposes to construct a 8,855square-foot daycare center with
a 4,120-square-foot outside play
area.
Mylestone’s attorney, Richard
Thompson, told the board that
his client had eliminated two
requests for variances which they
originally sought.
The first change will be the
elimination of a sign on
Paynter’s Road, which was a
structure both the board and
local residents were concerned
about.
The second change was the
elimination of a concrete trash
enclosure. The enclosure will
now consist of a fence.
Mr. Thompson described a
change in plans for the site and
how Mylestone had originally
intended to build an ingress and
egress onto Paynter’s Road. He
said the applicant has amended
the plans so that there would
only be an ingress. The ingress
would make it so a vehicle could
not leave the parking lot to get
onto Paynter’s Road.
Board member Dorothy
Wilson was concerned that drivers may still use the entrance as
an exit onto Paynter’s Road. She
asked Mr. Thompson and other
representatives of Mylestone
how they intend to notify or prevent access to drivers.
Mylestones’s representatives
were not sure how they would
combat it, if they would place
“exit only” signs or place a curve
in the entrance so that vehicles
could not navigate it to exit the
property onto the road because
their vehicle would be pointed in
the wrong direction onto the
roadway.
Mrs. Wilson pointed out that
the developers of the site were
still not ensuring the board that
drivers would not use the one
way entrance from Paynter’s
Road into the parking lot as an
exit onto Paynter’s Road.
The planning board members
were clearly concerned with the
effect the proposed business will
have on the neighbors, but also
the amount of traffic it will
bring onto the local roads.
Wall Planning Board member
and
Wall
Township
Committeeman Edward “Ned”
Thomson had stated he wanted
to understand the magnitude of
the project before he heard the
particular details of the site.
Committeeman
Thomson
asked Mr. Thompson, what their
plan is to effectively ease the
traffic on Paynter’s Road once
the business is up and running, a
question that did not receive an
immediate answer.
Chairman Braun added,
“Let’s see how your site impacts
the neighborhood.”
Mayor John Tobia interjected
and told the representatives of
Mylestone, “Your building will
be the closest to Paynter’s Road,
[closer] than any other building
there,” which will have a negative impact on residents and
drivers of the road.
Mayor Tobia suggested moving the building back on the
property closer to Route 34, as
the majority of the other buildings on Paynter’s Road are.
Chairman
Braun
then
changed the topic of discussion
to one that was briefly mentioned at the January hearing,
where Chairman Braun had
insisted that Mylestone bring
the person who will be running
the business to testify so the
board could hear exactly what
would be going on inside and
how the business is expected to
be run, but also to answer any
questions they may have.
Chairman Braun said, “I don’t
know whether to call this a
school or daycare center.”
He said he wanted to hear an
overview of the operations so it
could give the board a good
overview of how to proceed
regarding the plans of the building.
Tracy Cantin, who will be the
director at the business, testified
before the board that the business will “not be a daycare center, it’s a learning environment
for children.”
She said she will arrive at the
business around 6:30 a.m. at
which time she will begin opening for the day. The arrival of
the children will be heaviest
between 7:30 and 8 a.m., a time
where she estimated 40 children
will arrive in that half hour span.
She then gave estimates of
how many children will arrive
and be dropped off in half hour
time spans throughout the business day.
Mrs. Wilson wanted to know
the source of these estimates, to
which Ms. Cantin said she based
them on her experience from the
Goddard school where she is
currently employed as a director.
The board remarked that they
were concerned about buses on
the site and how many will be
arriving to pick up and drop off
children throughout the day.
Ms. Cantin said there will not
be any buses parked on the property. Buses that do come to pick
up or drop off should not be on
the property for longer than five
minutes to do so.
Chairman Braun then apologized to the audience and told
them that there was, unfortunately, not enough time in the
evening to open the public session of the meeting.
He said he is looking forward
at the next meeting to hearing
about additional engineering
plans and how Mylestone
intends on addressing traffic
concerns. He then added, “We
still have a lot of work to do.”
Chairman Braun said the next
hearing on the application will
be heard on April 2 at 7:30 p.m.
in the meeting room of the
municipal building.

Fourth Grade Girls Have Winning Season
• Wall Township Attorney
Roger McLaughlin brought the
town’s application to subdivide a
lot to create a retention basin to
the planning board.
The
board
and
Mr.
McLaughlin recognized the odd
parallels of having the township
attorney testify on the behalf of a
project rather than sitting on the
board and asking questions
about it.
Mr. McLaughlin referred to
the basin as having, “regional
elements,” meaning at the time
it was built it was intended to be
used for more than just the
Timber Valley development, but
for the surrounding neighborhood, as well. The retention
basin, which is located at 3116
Truman Court at the intersection of Kennedy Drive, was
originally constructed for the
Timber Valley Estates.
Mr. McLaughlin told the
board that the “owners of the
[Truman Court] property have
agreed to section off the property to the township.”
He also said that the basin
will be the “most appropriate
way to handle storm water
runoff.”
The idea for the basin came at
the suggestion of the township’s
professional staff who oversee
such projects, and the two
reports that they had prepared.
• Bay Dock Holdings attorney
Tim Middleton had brought its
new application before the board
to be approved that night as
well, in which a stone wall that
was to be built at the entrance of
the site became the source of
confusion for the board.
Bay Dock was seeking final
approval to subdivide one lot at
1501 Wall Church Road into
seven residential lots.
Bay Dock had sought a variance for a decorative stone wall
at the entrance to the site, to
which Planning Board Attorney
Michael Rubino asked, “Isn’t
that something that should be a
part of preliminary approval?”
Board Chairman Carl Braun
followed by stating, “From the
looks of the other board members, they’re not happy with it. If
you want the wall, you’ll have to
come back another night.”
He had told the crowd in
attendance that “Four Seasons at
Wall was the last one we
[approved].”
Board member Dorothy
Wilson interjected, “I’m a little
shocked we’re going over this.”
She stated the board had already
reviewed the application in the
workshop meeting, and the wall
was in the original plans that the
board had agreed to pass, and
questioned how the board was
going over details of the application.
The board did an about face
and unanimously passed Bay
Dock’s application.
• The board approved an
application for Old Mill
Elementary School in which
they sought to get a new, larger
sign for the front of the school.
The current sign is 102x75x16
and the new sign will be
90.5x96x17.

By Dan Zomack
At Wednesday night’s Wall
Township Committee workshop
meeting, held at the Municipal
Complex, Lt. Timothy Clayton
was officially sworn in as Wall
Township’s new police captain
with his wife Jennifer, and their
two young daughters, Alexandra,
11, and Emily, 6, by his side.
Capt. Clayton will be replacing former Capt. David Morris,
who was sworn into the chief ’s
position on Feb. 7 and assumed
command of the department
after the retirement of Chief Roy
Hall.
Over 30 members of the Wall
Police Department and approximately 50 members of Capt.
Clayton’s family and friends
filled the meeting room to show
their support for the veteran
police officer.
Capt. Clayton, 41, is a lifelong
resident of Wall Township.
March 17 will mark his 21st year
in which he has been serving
Wall Township as a police officer.
Mayor John Tobia said Capt.
Clayton has had a “distinguished
career” and is “well qualified” for

the high-ranking position.
After Capt. Clayton was
sworn in, Chief Morris
announced to the crowd, “I’m
very proud for him and his fam-
ily and think he’ll make a fine
captain.”
Chief Morris also thanked the
township committee for their
continued support of the police
department.
Like he did at his own swearing in, Chief Morris mentioned
how he is looking forward to
“moving the department forward.”
Capt. Clayton told his supporters the Wall Township Police
Department is a “great agency”
and “Wall Township police officers are one of the finest agencies
there is.”
Capt. Clayton said, “It is exciting for me being able to serve our
community.”
When asked if he has any
plans for the department, Capt.
Clayton described how the Wall
Township Police Department
will become “more communityoriented and provide the service
they [township citizens] expect,
and improve that [service].”
He also said that one of his
goals for the police department is
for it to “be more accessible to
residents.”
Capt. Clayton served as a special officer in Manasquan for one
year before joining the Wall
force. He is a 1986 graduate of
the police academy.
Planning board concerned about clear-cutting

Wall Township’s Planning
Board has expressed its displeasure at the rate in which developers
are clear-cutting land in the town.

trees from a tract of land. The
practice can destroy an area’s ecological integrity in a number of
ways, including destroying natural
animal habitats and reducing
buffer zones that reduce the severity of flooding.
At the last workshop meeting
of the Wall Township Planning
Board, Planning Board Attorney
Michael Rubino said there have
been problems with certain contractors who do not comply with
the specifications of land clearing
in their approved applications.
Mr. Rubino said he has seen
this problem increase in the “past
couple years.”
The board also talked about
building sites in the township
where work has started, but the
developers have seemingly disappeared altogether from the site,
leaving the area desolate and
unsightly.
One particular site that was
mentioned as standing too long
without any progress was a
Central Jersey Bank building that
is currently being constructed on
Route 34 south between the
Garden State Parkway and the
Allaire Circle.
The land has been completely
cleared and the only work that has
been done on the site consists of
steel, framing beams and has not
been worked on in many months.
The board members could not
estimate how long it has been
since the site saw work, but said it
was many, many months.
Central Jersey Bank CEO Jim
Vaccaro could not be reached for
comment regarding the construction delay of the bank building on
Route 34.

Thomson said he is “not sure what
the story is with that” site.
Mr. Rubino said he “[doesn’t]
know what to do about the site
either,” but believes that something does need to be done.
Committeeman Thomson stated at the meeting that one way
clear-cutting and site abandonment can be combatted would be
to implement a “more rigorous
inspection schedule” among the
building sites.
Mayor John Tobia said he
would like to see the schedules of
the township inspectors to see
how often they are visiting building sites.
The mayor said, “It’s ridiculous
it’s gotten to that point.”
When Mayor Tobia was asked
if he could specifically pinpoint
one instance in which a builder
clear-cut a property, he said there
was an “incident on Route 34
across from the Exxon station
where they were supposed to do
some test-boring, and instead of
working around the trees, they cut
them all down” and were subsequently fined by the township.
An ordinance was passed soon
after the incident that required
builders to clearly mark all trees
and put up a fence marking the
buffer areas before starting any
work.
Mayor Tobia said in the past
developers have cleared land
beyond what they were permitted

Kerr withdraws
from BOE election
By Dan Zomack
Robert Kerr, the current president of the Wall Township
Board of Education, who last
week announced his candidacy
for re-election to the board, has
withdrawn his petition due to
health problems.
“Over the past two years, since
May of ’05, I’ve been battling
colon cancer,” Mr. Kerr said this
week.
From his room at Jersey Shore
University Medical Center,
Neptune, he said, “It came to me
as a realization that it may be
time to step back” from the race
and the board.
“It is a bittersweet situation.
I’ve enjoyed my time on the
board,” he said.
Mr. Kerr has served as president of the board for one year
and is completing his ninth year
on the board. He has also previously served as vice president of
the board for three years.
Public
Schools
Superintendent Dr. James Habel
said, “I look back over the past
nine years and Bob has been an
exemplar of public service” to the
Wall public education system
and community.
Superintendent Habel said
Mr. Kerr “brings intelligence,
sense of humor and wit, and
phenomenal sense of wit” to the
school board.
“What he has done over the
past year, as he was battling can-
cer, is inspiring,” he added.
Eva Applegate, a 20-year veteran of the school board, said
while she has served with Mr.
Kerr during his nine-year tenure,
he has “always, always put children and their education first.”
“He has always been an excellent [board] member and board
president,” Mrs. Applegate
added.
There will be four open seats
on the ballot in the April 17
school board election. Mr. Kerr
was to run along with Mrs.
Applegate and fellow incumbents James Carhart and Eden
Graber.
Challenger Donald Herbert, a
past board member, filed to run
this year as well.
While three of the positions
are for three-year terms, the
position Mr. Carhart has filed
for is a one-year term on the
school board.
With Mr. Kerr dropping out
of the race, all four incumbents
are assured a win on April 17,
barring a massive write-in campaign.
Mr. Kerr said the applicants
are “all good people.”
“It’s very comforting to know
the board is in good hands,” he
said.
Remarking that “the past year
has been stellar” for the school
board, he said he has the “utmost
confidence the board can move
forward.”
BOE hears reports on lack of
available classroom space
By Dan Zomack
At Tuesday night’s board of
education meeting, the main
topic of discussion was space in
the public schools, or more
specifically, the lack of space in
Wall High School and Central
School.
Wall High School Principal
Stephen Genco presented the
findings of a study he did at the
high school that shows the ramifications of student enrollment on
the school.
“It’s not going to get better, it’s
going to get worse,” Principal
Genco said about the “strain of
the student population” on the
high school’s facilities.
Though some board members
and people in the audience
appeared to be surprised by the
announcement, board member
David Lucas said, “This is not the
first time you’ve voiced this,” to
Principal Genco.
“We knew this was coming. It’s
everything I’ve predicted,” the
principal replied.
One of the biggest problems
the high school is facing is that
“there’s not any room to grow,”
according to Principal Genco.
While student enrollment is
expected to rise next school year,
he said there are specific constraints the building faces, “issues
we face daily,” Principal Genco
said.
He estimated that next school
year, the building will be 200 students over its capacity, the equivalent of “almost a whole grade.”
One issue is the overcrowded
hallways, where it is not possible
for students to make it to class on
time.
Another problem right now
inside the building is the lack of
science labs. Principal Genco said
that he has had “more than a conversation with Trenton” regarding
the state’s planned curriculum for
next year, which includes 100percent student enrollment in
biology, chemistry and physics
classes.
The problem the school will
face if the state moves forward
with the plan, is the lack of available space in the science labs,
which right now only have 24 stations per class.
The classes currently enroll
more students than the 24 stations can accommodate, something Principal Genco called
unsafe, citing “health and safety
concerns” because of the overcrowded room. “We don’t have
the lab space” for the state’s plan
he admitted.
“You can’t just look at seats in a
building and put students in every
available seat,” he said.
There are currently 628 students in study halls, the “highest
number in years” according to the
veteran principal.
There are students who are not
able to take even their third
choice elective because “there’s
just not enough seats” the principal said.
“We can’t schedule 100 percent
of the students without study
halls,” he added.
Superintendent James Habel,
Ph.D., reiterated that “study halls
have increased and electives have
decreased” at the high school.
One way the school has looked
at combating the class size problem is to go to a staggered or
modified schedule.
In a staggered schedule, seniors
who have satisfied all of their
requirements will only have to
attend six school periods, which
will end in the afternoon.
If the schedule was modified,
seniors would arrive first, with the
other grades following in succession. The seniors would leave for
the day around 11:50 a.m.
according to Principal Genco.
One issue with this solution
Principal Genco believes, is the
busing issue, which he referred to
as a “possible problem.”
He also believes there are positives to this kind of schedule,
because there will only be “three
classes [of juniors and seniors]
operating at once which frees up
class room space.”
Lack of class space is also an
issue that is severely limiting and
crippling Central School’s mission to effectively teach each students, according to Central
Principal Greg Storts.
He began his presentation by
admitting, “Though I don’t like to
think of it [Central School] as
chaotic, at times it is.”
According to Principal Storts,
the basic problem Central School
is currently facing is the “reassignment of rooms not originally
intended for classroom instruction.”
“There just isn’t any room at
the school,” he admitted.
Central School has a music
room, which has been converted
to a fifth-grade classroom, which
the administrators were not
happy to do, but did not have a
choice according to Principal
Storts.
He also said that at Central,
each third-grader learns how to
play the violin. There was a specific classroom for this instruction
but now the students learn violin
in the cafeteria. This causes students to be ushered in and out in
a timely fashion so that the cafeteria can be used for eating and
for instruction.
In the gym, there is a stage.
This stage is now used for music
classes and occupational therapy.
Principal Storts said there are
times when students are receiving
classroom instruction and therapy
on one side of the stage curtain,
while on the other side 75 students are in a gym class.
“That’s chaos,” said board
member James Carhart.
Another place in Central
School that is being stressed every
single day is the library and media
center, a spot that “was one of our
showcases,” the principal said.
He said he now believes the
place of learning that did have a
lot of space, has become com-
pletely lost. It has become a “very
tight space” that houses the reading lab, reading specialists and
math lab. Principal Storts pointed
out that this is all taking place as
students are in the library and
media center doing their work.
Principal Storts said many
offices are “basically reconverted
closets” for teachers and other
school professionals.
“There needs to be serious
reconsideration” for a new elementary school he stated. “There
definitely needs to be some sort of
relief.”
The third and final presenter
was David Fraytak, the architect
the school board hired to see what
can be done for Central School in
terms of a short-term solution.
He said he was given a mission
to find space for three classrooms,
and decided that the best solution
would be for the school to use
trailers.
Mr. Fraytak said that any grade
would be permitted to use the
trailers except for the kindergarten level.
He said a “standard set up” for
trailers to be used in a “temporary
classroom unit” situation, is that
they have a bathroom constructed
between two units and that it be
outfitted with sewer lines and
water.
In addition, the trailers must be
handicapped accessible, have
electrical power, Internet connections and covered walkways going
from the main building to the
trailers.
He said that trailers can be
purchased both used and new, but
that the school board should act
quickly if they wish to have the
trailers ready for September.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
LENDER
By Brian O’Keefe
The Sea Girt Council set aside
some time at the beginning of last
Wednesday’s meeting to hear a
plea from board of education president Brian T. Buckley, Ph. D., for
assistance with paying for a major
overhaul of the borough elementary school’s south grounds.
Superintendent John Gibbs
also appeared with Mr. Buckley to
support the request.
The project, which includes
rehabilitating the basketball and
tennis courts, installing a softer
surface on the multiple-use play
area and possibly installing a safety barrier along Route 71, has an
estimated total price tag of
$300,000, according to the board
president.
The
Sea
Girt
School
Educational Foundation, a nonprofit organization, originally suggested the idea and spearheaded
the private fund-raising, but the
board of education is now in
charge of the project, Mr. Buckley
said.
If the borough wishes to help
pay for the project, the board will
need a commitment by the end of
the month, he said, adding that
the board is setting aside $50,000
for it in its own budget this year.
So far, the educational foundation has raised $135,000 for the
renovations, $100,000 of it
through a tie-in with youth recreation basketball drills events and
$35,000 through the sale of personalized pavers to be installed on
the grounds, Mr. Buckley said.
In addition, $50,000 more in
private money has been committed to the foundation for the project, he said.
Mr. Buckley said the board
wishes to “partner” with the borough, and noted the grounds can
be used by the borough, as well as
for the school.
LAUREN PARKER, The Coast Star
The Sea Girt Board of Education is planning renovations to the south grounds of the elementary school.
He told the mayor and council
that the board is aware that the
borough has budget constraints,
and it has no expectation of aid. A
list of items totalling $102,000
was presented to the council for
consideration.
Noting that figure, Mayor Ed
Ahern said he did not know “how
much we can get into this.”
“We weren’t expecting the
whole thing,” Mr. Buckley said,
explaining that the board meant it
to be a list of options the borough
could consider contributing to,
rather than a request for all of
them.
A couple of the suggestions Mr.
Buckley made were that the public works department help pull out
the old fencing and that the borough help pay for engineering the
project. Borough Engineer Peter
Avakian has been hired by the
board to work on the project.
Mr. Buckley said there is a great
deal of support from people in
town for the renovations.
The project would have three
phases which were designed to be
independent of one another, Mr.
Avakian said, in response to a
question from Council President
Mark Clemmensen.
The initial plan has been to
start the first phase this summer,
and start the second and third
phases in future years, Mr.
Buckley said.
The project would use the
existing footprints for the tennis
and basketball courts, because it
would cost at least $100,000 to
change their locations, Mr. Gibbs
said.
The basketball courts, which
are currently three-quarter size,
would be changed to one full
court and one small court.
The proposed tennis court surface is supposed to last 20 years,
Mr. Buckley said.
Councilwoman Anne Morris
asked if lighting could be added to
the project. Mr. Buckley replied
that that would not be “fiscally
feasible.”
Councilman Raymond Bogan
said Borough Attorney William
Burns had given the council materials that indicate that if the borough has a budget surplus, it can
contribute to the project.
Mayor Ahern asked whether
the board of education could
budget for a new fence in its own
budget.
Mr. Gibbs replied that is a possibility, and repeated that the
board respects the constraints on
the borough’s budget.
There should not be a problem
with the public works department
helping to remove the old fencing,
Councilman Niemeyer said.
But the councilman said he
thought it would be difficult for
the borough to even state that it
would consider contributing
money to the project.
Councilman Niemeyer said it
would be hard to tell senior citizens who live on fixed incomes
that the borough will use their
Council: no exceptions to
road work moratoriums
By Brian O’Keefe
Aside from emergencies, there
will be no exceptions to the fiveyear moratorium ordinance for
tearing up roads in Sea Girt that
have been resurfaced, the council
decided at last Wednesday’s
meeting.
Councilman Fred Niemeyer
had mentioned at a previous
meeting that some property
owners have been submitting
applications to tear up roads during the moratorium period, stating that they were unaware of
the restriction when they
acquired their properties.
There are instances of property owners who inherited land
after the borough notified residents of the ordinance before
each repaving, and now want to
subdivide their land and provide
gas and water service to the
newly created lot, Councilman
Niemeyer
said
at
last
Wednesday’s meeting.
The moratorium states that
for five years after a road has
been repaved, it may not be torn
up for the purpose of installing
new utilities, except in the case
of an emergency.
Councilman Raymond Bogan
pointed out that the wording of
that ordinance could apply even
to roads that had not recently
been resurfaced.
“Why have an ordinance at all
if you’re going to make exceptions for personal reasons?”
asked
Borough
Attorney
William Burns. He later said if
the council wished to authorize
itself to give relief to property
owners in non-emergencies, the
proper procedure would be to
amend the ordinance and lay out
specific standards, rather than
make decisions on a “good guy,
bad guy basis.”
Councilman Donald Fetzer
said he was against allowing
exceptions in non-emergencies.
The moratorium prevents the
borough’s streets from turning
into patchwork, he said.
“How can we violate the ordinance?” said Mayor Ed Ahern,
adding that notice of the moratorium was given to property
owners in advance of resurfacing
work. If someone inherits land
and is not made aware of it,
“Well, it’s too bad,” the mayor
said.
“I agree,” said Councilwoman
Anne Morris. “I think we should
let it stand.”
Mayor Ahern added that years
ago the borough received
numerous complaints about the
condition of its roads. Now after
numerous resurfacing projects
over the past decade, the borough receives few such complaints except from those residents whose streets have not
been repaved yet, he said.
“We’ve come a long way to
improve the roads,” the mayor
said.
municipal tax money for a school
project.
While stating that the governing body has always supported the
school, Mayor Ahern took a noncommittal stance regarding the
request, telling Mr. Buckley only
that it would be considered.
“We will chew on the numbers,” he said.

Council: Oil spill at DPW yard
to cost $250,000 to remediate
By Brian O’Keefe
Councilman Fred Niemeyer
said at last week’s Sea Girt
Council meeting that the borough is being required by the
DEP to conduct a cleanup of an
oil spill at the public works yard
that will cost approximately a
quarter of a million dollars.
It is unclear how much of the
cost to clean up the spill will be
covered by the borough’s insurer, the Monmouth County Joint
Insurance
Fund
[ JIF],
Councilman Niemeyer said.
The spill occurred either in the
1980s or 1990s, he said.
The spill was caused by a leak
in the distribution system that
routed gasoline and diesel from
underground tanks, the councilman explained.
Borough Clerk Lorene
Wright said the JIF had
informed her that it would not
cover anything related to the
cleanup other than an air stripper that had already been
installed.
The insurance company’s
reasoning is that a fuel tank was
unregistered at the time, Ms.
Wright said.
The DEP had initially
thought that the spill came
from a tank, Councilman
Niemeyer said.
Borough Engineer Peter
Avakian said the spill actually
came from a distribution nozzle, and was discovered after
ground contamination was
found at the site.
The council passed a remediation schedule and cost estimate as required by the DEP.
The agency next will draft a
memorandum of understanding
regarding the cleanup, Borough
Attorney William Burns said.
Ms. Wright refused to release
copies of the remediation
schedule and cost estimate by
press time.
Mr. Avakian declined to
speak about the issue after the
meeting, referring questions to
engineer Greg Blash of his
firm. Mr. Blash did not return a
phone call by press time.

Lake Como
Ambassador confirms talks with mayor

URETHRAL PROLAPSE
Urethrocele, or urethral prolapse, is a condition in which the
bladder and urethra (the tube that
carries urine from the bladder)
have dropped from their normal
positions and bulged into the
vagina. This occurrence results
from stretching or weakening of
the muscles and tissues that hold
the urethra in place due to pregnancy, labor, childbirth, or previous pelvic surgery. As a result, a
woman may experience incontinence (urine leakage) when she
coughs, jumps, or laughs. She
may also have difficulty emptying
her bladder, which can, in turn,
lead to a bladder infection, or cystitis. These symptoms may be
treated with Kegel exercises,
which strengthen the muscles of
the pelvic floor. In some cases,
surgery may be necessary.
If you have questions about
anything discussed in today’s column, or would like to speak with
a urologist regarding your specific condition, call our office. We
see men and women and treat
several urological conditions
including, bladder and kidney
disorders, prostate problems and
urinary incontinence. To schedule

crippled that region. Ambassador
Al-Sabah stated that Mr.
Chiaravallo had asked if there was
any possibility of Lake Como
receiving the funds he requested
from Kuwait. Ambassador AlSabah said he told Mr.
Chiaravallo that he had still not
heard back from his government
on the issue because his government was “busy in helping out
New Orleans.”
The ambassador stated that his
government had “probably put
Lake Como on the back burner,”
while the Kuwaiti government
was “heavily involved” in contributing to Hurricane Katrina
relief efforts. Ambassador AlSabah stated that he had informed
Mr. Chiaravallo “in all honesty”
that his government had not gotten back to him in regards to his
request.
When asked whether the
Kuwaiti government has aided
small American towns in the past,
the ambassador stated that the
Kuwaiti government has helped to
“build museums and expand hospitals.” Ambassador Al-Sabah
stated that the embassy “receives
requests all the time.” Whether
the requests are answered, the
ambassador stated, “it depends.”
“Sometimes, if the time is right,
we may go ahead with it,”
Ambassador Al-Sabah said.
When asked whether or not he
believed the Kuwaiti government
would still be interested in contributing funds to help out Lake
Como, Ambassador Al-Sabah
stated, “I personally do not know.”
The ambassador added that the
request is still in Kuwait, awaiting
the attention of government officials there. Ambassador Al-Sabah
was pleased to share the fact that,
after the Hurricane Katrina disaster, “Kuwait pledged almost half a
billion dollars to the relief efforts.”
Ambassador Al-Sabah stated
that the Kuwaiti government is
still contributing money to aid
New Orleans and the Gulf Coast
states. “We are still working on
that,” Ambassador Al-Sabah said.
Mr Chiaravallo also wanted to
tell more of his story last week,
after having learned that Lake
Como’s Mayor Michael Ryan and
the borough council were planning on sending a letter to the
Kuwaiti officials, following up
where Mr. Chiaravallo had left off.
“When I asked Oprah Winfrey
for money, I did not have a specific amount,” Mayor Chiaravallo
stated. “I thought of Bill Gates
and Oprah Winfrey.” Mr.
Chiaravallo stated that, “Bill
Gates was not worth the effort
because I knew we wouldn’t get it
[the money].”
“I was going to go to the Saudi
[Arabia] government but I
thought, ‘Oh, the Saudis, I don’t
like them,’” Mr. Chiaravallo said.
Mr. Chiaravallo explained that
was when he decided to contact
Kuwait for the funds. After he had
attempted to contact Kuwaiti officials through the mail, Mr.
Chiaravallo stated, the embassy
informed him that the ambassador had been recalled to Kuwait.
“He [the ambassador] apologized for the length of time it took
to get in touch with me,” Mr.
Chiaravallo said. “After 9/11, he
[the ambassador] figured it was
not a good time to do something.”
Mr. Chiaravallo said that after
Hurricane Katrina, the Kuwaiti
government donated “$120 million” to the Hurricane Katrina
fund and that was when Mr.
Chiaravallo decided to try to get
back in touch with the ambassador. “I spoke to him [the ambassador] on the phone,” Mr.
Chiaravallo said. “He [the ambassador] invited me to Washington,
D.C.”
According to Mr. Chiaravallo,
When he arrived at the ambassador’s office in Washington,
D.C., the ambassador’s secretary
notified him that the ambassador
“will be back soon” and sat him in
a waiting room.
“He eventually [the ambassador] shows up,” Mr. Chiaravallo
said. “He is a young guy and he
introduced himself and apologized to me [for not getting back
to him sooner].”
“He served tea and so forth,”
Mr. Chiaravallo said. “I explained
the situation to him about why we
needed the funds and he said, ‘Mr.
mayor, do me a favor. Can you
outline for me what it would cost
for each project?”
Mr. Chiaravallo said he would
get the figures to the ambassador,
adding, “I'll go back, get everything lined up and present it to
you.”
Mr. Chiaravallo then asked the
ambassador if he would call him a
taxi cab to take him back to the
train station. The ambassador
instead offered Mr. Chiaravallo a
ride back to the train station in his
“private car with diplomatic
plates,” the former mayor said.
“It was really cool driving in a
car with diplomatic plates,” Mr.
Chiaravallo said. “I thanked him.”
Mr. Chiaravallo then stated
that he contacted Joseph J. Louro,
D.C., of Lake Como, and they
managed to work together to find
out what it would cost to complete
each project. “He [Mr. Louro]
worked it out and we came to a
figure of $3.7 million and I called
the ambassador and we set up the
next
appointment,”
Mr.
Chiaravallo said.
“Mr. Louro and I went [to
Washington,
D.C.],”
Mr.
Chiaravallo said. He said he
brought Mr. Louro with him, “In
case there were any questions I
could not give him an answer to.”
Mr. Louro stated on Monday
afternoon that the mayor had
called him and asked him to put
together an estimate. Mr. Louro, a
chiropractor and developer in the
area, stated that the amount he
came up with was $3.7 million.
Mr. Louro explained that Mr.
Chiaravallo had asked him to take
a “break” from his practice for the
day and come with him to give a
presentation to the ambassador.
“I did go there [to Washington,
D.C.],” Mr. Louro said. “If Mayor
Ryan asked me to, I would do the
same for him.”
Mr. Louro stated that he
believed Mr. Chiaravallo’s decision
to request funds from the Kuwaiti
government was “innovative” and
he stated on Monday morning
that he was always “glad to help”
the town, however he could.
“The two trips that I made to
Washington, D.C., I paid for,” Mr.
Chiaravallo had said last week. “I
never had the borough pay for my
two trips.” Mr. Chiaravallo said
that the trips to Washington, D.C.
“didn’t cost the borough one
penny.”
“I even paid for my telephone
calls to the ambassador,” Mr.
Chiaravallo said. “I didn’t have
secret meetings.”
Mr. Chiaravallo explained that
borough employees had put in
envelopes and mailed out the letters he had sent to the ambassador
and Kuwaiti officials for him.
“I didn’t keep it a secret,” Mr.
Chiaravallo said. “The only thing I
was afraid of, and it came true, was
that the papers would get it and
make such a big deal about it and
the Kuwaitis would not be interested in it anymore,” Mr.
Chiaravallo said.
“I even made The New York
Times and I'm a Republican conservative,” Mr. Chiaravallo said.
“Who knew I'd get a call from
radio stations?”
“I knew it [the publicity] would
not make the Kuwaiti government
happy,” Mr. Chiaravallo said.
The former mayor went on to
say that his reasoning for not
telling the public of his talks with
the ambassador were based on the
fact that he did not want to “build
the hopes of the people and knock
them down when we don’t get it
[the money].”
“If the Kuwaiti government
said we would get it, then I would
have told the people sooner,” Mr.
Chiaravallo said.
The ambassador seemed quite
perplexed as to why so many people were interested in Mr.
Chiaravallo’s request of his government and was hoping that by
giving his side of the story, he
could clear up any questions that
are still breathing interest into a
question that was made by an exmayor seven years ago.

Lake Como Council
adopts 2006-07 budget
By Kelly Skellinger
The Lake Como Council
adopted its 2006-2007 budget at
the Feb. 20 meeting of the mayor
and council. Lake Como’s budget, instead of being set according
to a regular calendar year, is set
to the fiscal year, which begins
on July 1 and ends on June 30.
Louise Mekosh, Lake Como’s
Business
Administrator,
explained the ins and out of the
2006-2007 budget. The proposed total municipal budget for
2006-2007
amounted
to
$3,115,735, which is $283,761
more than last year’s total budget
which
amounted
to
$2,831,973.
According to Ms. Mekosh,
the amount of the 2006-2007
budget to be raised through local
taxation is estimated at
$1,231,280. This will reflect a
municipal tax rate increase of
4.4 cents per $100 of assessed
valuation.
Last year’s rate was 28.9 cents
per $100 of assessed valuation
for municipal purposes. The tax
rate for the 2006-2007 budget is
33.3 cents per $100 of assessed
valuation for the same purposes.
Ms. Mekosh stated that
$375,000 is being applied from
surplus to the 2006-2007 budget, leaving $172,711 in surplus.
According to Ms. Mekosh,
the average assessed value of a
home in the borough is
$250,000. The municipal tax liability applied to the average
homeowner will be approximately $833 for 2006-2007,
which is an increase of $110
from the previous year.
Graffiti artists caught
Friday, blue-handed
By Kelly Skellinger
On Friday, March 2, Lake
Como’s Police Chief, Rosman
Cash, reported that three men
were arrested for “tagging” private
and borough property with spray
paint.
“We had received a call about
three subjects who were spray
painting the Air Expert’s building
on 17th Avenue and Railroad,”
Chief Cash said. “When they
[Sgt. Joseph Oleszkiewicz and
Ptl. Rolando Ensuar] arrived, they
found what appeared to be freshly
sprayed blue paint on the west
side of the building.”
Chief Cash stated that the
paint was “still wet.”
Sgt. Oleszkiewicz and Ptl.
Ensuar, soon after, located the
three individuals at the corner of
16th Avenue and Main Street.
“One of the subjects was carrying
a small brown bag with a bottle of
beer in it and they [the suspects]
had the paint with them,” Chief
Cash said.
Chief Cash stated that the suspects had “blue paint on their
hands.” All three of the suspects
were transported to Lake Como
Police Headquarters and charged.
“One of the suspects [Corey
Shields] was wanted by the Ocean
County Sheriff ’s Department on
an outstanding warrant of
$15,000,” Chief Cash said.
“They found that they [the
three suspects] had also done
some painting on NJ Transit
property and climbed a fence onto
borough property and spraypainted a DPW truck,” Chief
Cash added.
The three suspects were

Brick, Bruce Knight, 24, from

Lake Como
Louro questions chairman’s agenda, opposes parking suggestions
By Kelly Skellinger
Joseph J. Louro, D.C., who
developed The Villas at Lake
Como, attended the workshop
meeting of the mayor and council
on Tuesday evening to voice his
concerns about a letter that the
Main
Street
Development
Commission sent to the governing body in regards to Main Street
parking solutions.
The letter that was sent by the
commission to the mayor and
council touched on seven points
that the commission felt the
mayor, council and planning
board should take into consideration when dealing with parking on
Main Street. One recommendation requested that the council
“repeal the exemption to on-site
parking requirements for retail
businesses of 3,000 square feet or
less and that the planning board
set standards for retail and office
parking.”
Other
recommendations
requested that the maximum
building height provision in the
mixed-use ordinance be amended
to reduce the height of Main
Street buildings or leave the
height at 35 feet and the mixeduse ordinance be changed to
reduce the total allowable lot coverage of buildings by 10 percentage points to 60 percent or some
like amount.
The commission also requested
in the letter that the borough
should hire an “engineer or qualified professional” to re-examine
the idea of angled parking on
Main Street; that the current twohour Main Street parking limit be
kept in place; that
Academy
Charter High School’s parking lot
be used for public parking at night
or during the summer months;
and the planning board consider
“setting a minimum ratio of retailto-residential development.”
After Mr. Louro and Joseph
Cavaluzzi, chairman of the Main
Street Development Commission,
defended their points of view on
the parking solutions to the mayor
and council on Tuesday, Mayor
Michael Ryan stated, “I am going
to be advertising for and holding a
public meeting for all of the residents of Lake Como for their
input [on Main Street parking.]”
Mayor Ryan explained that the
mayor and council were going to
be “open” and “transparent” when
it comes to discussions on the
parking issue. “Everyone is going
to have an opportunity whether
they agree or disagree,” Mayor
Ryan said. “Only when we reach

consensus after giving it [the
parking issue] due diligence will
we move it to the planning board.”
Mayor Ryan has not yet set a
date for the public meeting to be
held on the Main Street parking
issue.
Mr. Louro first stated on
Monday afternoon that he
believed that Mr. Cavaluzzi had
been “inaccurately” quoting the
findings that the Rutgers MBA
Consulting Team, which consisted of a group of graduate students,
listed in the report in regards to
parking in Lake Como, at meetings and in the commission’s letter
to the council, in order to fulfill his
own personal “agenda.”
When asked what he believed
Mr. Cavaluzzi’s agenda was, Mr.
Louro stated that he did not
know. Mr. Louro did insist that
Mr. Cavaluzzi did have his own
agenda and stated that he “needs
to get rid of his agenda.”
“It’s OK for the Main Street
Development Commission to
make a decision on parking [to
present to the mayor and council]
but it is not OK for Mr. Cavaluzzi
to have a personal agenda,” Mr.
Louro said.
“I don’t have any agenda here
other than to do what the mayor
asked me to do,”Mr. Cavaluzzi
said on Tuesday afternoon, prior
to the workshop meeting. He
added the mayor had asked him
and the commission to come up
with a parking solution that would
be “in the best interests of the
town.”
“I don’t know what he [Mr.
Louro] is talking about when he
talks about me having an agenda,”
Mr. Cavaluzzi continued. “I look
at Joe Louro’s comments as being
part of the process.”
In response to Mr. Louro’s
accusations that he has a personal
agenda, Mr. Cavaluzzi stated on
Tuesday afternoon, “of course, he
[Mr. Louro] thinks that the more
densely developed Main Street is,
the more profit he [Mr. Louro]
can make.” Mr. Cavaluzzi stated
that the commission has had to
look into traffic and residential
density.
“What we [the commission]
are recommending is that the
town try to address this [the parking situation] as the development
is happening,” Mr. Cavaluzzi said.
Mr. Louro said on Monday
that the requests that the Main
Street Development Commission
made in the letter overlooked
what the Rutgers report stated in
its introduction and conclusion of
the parking analysis.
For instance, Mr. Louro pointed that the report states, in its
introduction, the Rutgers team
interviewed Jeffrey Buehler from
the New Jersey Department of
Community Affairs and, in speaking with Mr. Buehler, found that
he “felt strongly that parking is
often overemphasized in town
redevelopment efforts.” Mr.
Buehler indicated in the report
that, “cars do not go shopping at
stores, people do.”
According to the report, “Mr.
Buehler believes that parking
should be seriously considered,
but that it is important not to
drive away redevelopment opportunities while seeking a way to
have optimal parking.”
On Monday, Mr. Louro stated
that he agreed with Mr. Buehler’s
statements in the report, stating
that by “overemphasizing” the
parking aspect of Lake Como’s
Redevelopment Plan, the Main
Street
Redevelopment
Commission is going to halt the
expansion of what could have
been a successful business and
retail district on Main Street.
According to Mr. Cavaluzzi’s
interpretation of Mr. Buehler’s
statements in the report, what Mr.
Buehler said was that towns
should not seek an “optimal parking solution.”
“I don’t think what we are
requesting is an optimal parking
solution,” Mr. Cavaluzzi said on
Tuesday afternoon. “You shouldn’t
come up with a plan that includes
so much parking that it excludes
development.
“We are not suggesting that,”
Mr. Cavaluzzi continued. “We are
suggesting the opposite.”
Mr. Cavaluzzi stated that “com-
ing up with a plan with no solutions for parking is the wrong
approach” also.
“I would not interpret that
[overemphasizing parking] as it
[parking] should be ignored,” Mr.
Cavaluzzi added.
Mr. Louro pointed out on
Monday that the commission’s
request “to repeal the exemption
to on-site parking requirements
for retail businesses of 3,000
square feet or less” and to have the
planning board “set standards for
retail and office parking” would
hinder retail and business space
from being developed on Main
Street. Mr. Louro stated that
“Main Street is the most important area” to be developed in Lake
Como, in order to bring people
into the town.
Mr. Cavaluzzi responded on
Tuesday afternoon to Mr. Louro’s
statements regarding the commission’s request to repeal the exemption.
“I believe that what we [the
commission] are trying to do is
allow the developers to be more
creative in creating more room on
their properties for the development of on-site parking spaces,”
Mr. Cavaluzzi said.
On Monday and at the meeting
on Tuesday evening, Mr. Louro
gave examples of retail and business districts that were currently
flourishing in small towns which,
like Lake Como, cannot provide
parking for everyone. Mr. Louro’s
examples included Ocean Grove,
Spring Lake, Red Bank and
Manasquan.
At Tuesday night’s meeting,
Mr. Louro even provided aerial
photos that were taken of Lake
Como, Red Bank, Ocean Grove
and Spring Lake, displaying the
lack of parking spaces available in
Red Bank, Spring Lake and
Ocean Grove and the parking
spaces that were available to Lake
Como visitors on that same day.
Mr. Louro’s point was that Main
Street in Lake Como did not have
a parking problem.
Mr. Louro stated that, while
people may have to park a few
blocks away or drive around
scouting for parking, customers
and patrons were still going to
those towns to shop and eat dinner, no matter what the parking
availability was.
Mr. Louro stated that Lake
Como had “great book ends,”
meaning the town was surrounded
by other attractive towns and the
ocean, which will draw people in,
should the retail and business dis-
trict on Main Street be able to be
developed successfully.
“It is upsetting to me,” Dr.
Louro said on Monday, of the
commission’s plans regarding
parking. “I want for everyone to
use their heads and not have an
agenda.
“I really want to see it [Main
Street development] work,” Mr.
Louro continued, emphasizing
that the commission was “scaring
away more redevelopment” by
putting restrictions on parking
before the redevelopment was
really underway.
In the conclusion of the
Rutgers report, the team stated
that town may want to explore
current parking laws, shared parking, building a municipal parking
lot, or the angle parking option.
Mr. Louro believes that the commission has not thoroughly
explored these options.
Mr. Cavaluzzi explained on
Tuesday afternoon that the solutions that Mr. Louro stated the
commission did not explore were
all considered by the commission,
even if the group did not suggest
that the solutions be carried out.
Mr. Cavaluzzi stated that the
commission’s job was to give its
recommendations to the mayor,
council and planning board. t is up
to the planning board and the
engineer to decide whether or not
to look at the requests, Mr.
Cavaluzzi stated.
While Mayor Ryan decided on
Tuesday evening not to pass any
solutions onto the planning board
until the public meeting was held
on the issue and a consensus was
reached, the letter that the commission drafted will be taken into
considerations, along with the
opinions of the residents, business
owners, and anyone else who
attends the meeting. The Rutgers
report will be referenced as well.
“For this town, we are getting
an urban density with a minimal
amount of retail,” Mr. Cavaluzzi
stated on Tuesday evening.
“We already have parking problems for our residents on 17th and
Redwood,” Mr. Cavaluzzi continued. “In the summer time, we have
a parking problem on most of the
streets around here.”
Mr. Louro responded, “There is
a zero parking problem compared
to Spring Lake, to Avon, two
towns that have much more parking and people coming as tourists
to their downtown.”
“Lake Como is the fourth most
densely populated town in
Monmouth county,” Mayor Ryan
confirmed on Tuesday night.
In the conclusion of the parking
analysis of the Rutgers report, the
team that completed the survey
stated, “the team recommends
that the town not overemphasize
parking, as overemphasis on optimal parking arrangements may
actually hinder the downtown
redevelopment effort.”
“Why reinvent the wheel,”Mr.
Louro asked on Monday, explaining that he feels all of the recommendations made by the Rutgers
report should be taken into consideration by the commission.
Mr. Cavaluzzi agreed with Mr.
Louro’s statement, saying “I think
that report is a great tool for getting getting ideas. They [the
Rutgers students] are not architects or engineers but the report
does include a lot of good information.”
“The planning board and the
mayor and council have to make
the ultimate decision [on parking],” Mr. Louro said. Mr. Louro
believes that the mayor, council
and planning board will not be
able to make the correct decision
when they “have someone as
chairman of the commission who
has an agenda.”
“This is the way our government works,” Mr. Cavaluzzi said.
“The people get involved.” Mr.
Cavaluzzi stated that, “you don’t
have to be an engineer to be on a
council,” explaining “you look to
the mayor and council to hire the
experts.”
The Main Street Development
Commission’s next meeting will
be held on March 20 at 6:30 p.m.
at borough hall. The commission
will be discussing Main Street
aesthetics. The meeting is open to
the public, as all of the commission’s meetings have been in the
past.

From arctic animals to space
exploration, Bradley Beach
Elementary School students
from pre-kindergarten through
eighth grade found creativity in
all subject areas, for an evening
that left many borough residents in awe of the children.
The school’s annual project
and art fair last Wednesday
night drew in a crowd of nearly 400 people, including students, parents and staff to
admire the hard work of the
school children that filled up
several rooms, including the art
room, gymnasium and cafeteria.
The fair, which has been a
school tradition for many years,
originated as a science fair,
before expanding into one that
included art, math, science,
social studies and language
arts.
“They [teachers] have been
gathering the kids’ work since
the beginning of the year,”
Bradley Beach Elementary
School superintendent and
principal, Dr. Wayne Turner
said. “I am very proud of the
kids’ work, as well as the teachers, to present this exhibit.”
The school’s art teacher,
Jennifer DiZefalo, worked with
the school’s students to create a
range of projects, from firstgraders making decorated
mini-tepees to intricate multidimensional kaliedocycles by
sixth-graders, that were based
off the work of artist M.C.
Escher.
“The art teacher continues to
accumulate the kids’ work, as
well as teachers, dealing with
other disciplines,” said Dr.
Turner.
In the gym, “Polar Pals at the
North Pole” kindergarten display showed “If I Could Play
With a Polar Bear” stories, and
decorative eskimos, where each
face revealed a student’s photo.
The display was also informative, examining the life of several animals of the region,

including the musk oxen, lives
in the arctic tundra and can
weigh as much as 900 pounds.
At another display, special
education
teacher
Ellen
Schreck-Rosen created a variety of projects with her students, surrounding holidays
such as Groundhog Day and
Chinese New Year.
On a table near a corner of
the
gym,
fourth-graders
focused on marine animal
adaptation projects, where students created dioramas regarding aquatic life including parrot fish, crabs and black tip reef
sharks.
“It’s amazing and high quality,” president of the PTO Kim
Charette stated of the hard
work students and staff put
into the evening event.
She also added, “the kids are
very proud of everything,”
including her fourth-grade
daughter Cassidy and seventhgrade son Tyler.
In another section, students
in Jennifer Jones third-grade
class had the chance to create
their very own time capsules.
“We studied the Bradley
Beach community. They [students] had to put three items
representing the community, as
well as three other items of
their choice,” Ms. Jones said.
Some items students used to
represent the community
included a typed report on the
borough’s history, a photo of
the school, photo of a local gas
station with gas prices, and
even sand from the beach.
Items of choice included more
personal favorites, such as
dolls, video games, and as Ms.
Jones stated, “someone actually
wrote out a tour of their
home.”
Her class also studied space
exploration, and set up a colorful display showing an edible
solar system made with different candies to show planets and
stars, satellites made out of
Lego pieces, freeze-dried ice
cream, and special reports on
life in space and phases of the
moon.
Older students also enjoyed
the Project and Art Fair.
Seventh-graders
Michelle
Potts and Chelsea Williscroft
said many of their classmates
enjoyed working on projects
with their science teacher,
Sandy Delopoulos, on an owl
pellet dissection.
The owl pellets, which are
regurgitated by the owl after
meals, can reveal much about
the owl.
The pellets contain undigested fur as well as the bones
of animals it has eaten, including rats and shrews, or as
Michelle stated, “all the things
it threw up.”
Students not only had to
pick the bones out of the pellet
with a special stick, but piece
them together on paper to create the whole skeleton and
identify each bone.
The girls also said they
worked on a science unit on
arthropods, which are animals
with exoskeletons, segmented
bodies, and jointed limbs, such
as insects, spiders and crustaceans.
The students had the opportunity to not only learn about
arthropods, but a first-hand
experience to learn about protein sources in other parts of
the world.
“We ate meal worms covered
in spices and chocolate-covered
crickets,” said Chelsea.
Dr. Turner, who was pleased
with
the
outcome
of
Wednesday’s fair said, “this is
our best one yet.”

In Honor Of A Fallen Soldier
School recycling poster contest
to send message to borough
By Caren Caterina
A school-wide poster contest
in Bradley Beach may not only
help send an important message
to students and staff, but residents, as well.
The
Recycling
Poster
Contest to begin this month
will feature the theme, “Bradley
Beach Recycles.”
Bradley
Beach
School
Superintendent and Principal
Dr. Wayne
Turner,
PTO
President Kim Charette, and
other attendees, addressed the
contest’s
significance
at
Thursday night’s PTO meeting
held at the school.
Special Education teacher
Gail Mayer, who also heads the
school’s Environmental Club
and sits on the borough’s
Environmental Commission, is
coordinating the efforts for the
contest.
The poster contest coincides
with the borough’s recent
efforts to become a more recycling-friendly town, including
the need to place recycling containers with better labeling

Bradley Beach’s flags continue to fly at half-staff in honor
of Army Chief Warrant Officer 3 John A. Quinlan, who was
killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan on Sunday, Feb.
18. On Friday, other cities around the state also flew their
flags half-staff, after Governor Corzine signed an executive
order that all United States and New Jersey flags be flown
half-staff in honor of the soldier.
Memorial Mass to
honor fallen soldier
By Caren Caterina
Family and friends will honor
and remember Army Chief
Warrant Officer 3 John A.
Quinlan in a private memorial
Mass in Avon-By-The-Sea this
weekend.
The service will be held at St.
Elizabeth Church on Lincoln
Avenue in Avon at 2:00 p.m.
The soldier, whose parents,
Robert and Kathleen Quinlan,
live in Bradley Beach, was killed
on Sunday, Feb. 18, when his
MH-47E Chinook helicopter
crashed
in
southeastern
Afghanistan.
The crash occurred while conducting operations in support of
Operation Enduring Freedom.
Last Tuesday, Chief Warrant
Officer 3 Quinlan was laid to
rest with full military honors in
Arlington National Cemetery in
Virginia.
A memorial service was also
held at Fort Campbell, Ky., on
Feb. 21 for the Army helicopter
pilot, as well as the seven other
military personnel killed in the
crash.
Chief Warrant Officer 3
Quinlan was assigned to B
Company, 2nd Battalion, 160th
Special Operations Aviation
Regiment, at the Kentucky base.
His military career, which
spanned 18 years, included serving the nation in every major
conflict since 1990 with several
deployments to Afghanistan and
Iraq. He also received more than
20 medals and decorations for
his duties.
Chief Warrant Officer 3
Quinlan is survived by his wife,
Julie and three daughters, Keely,
10, Madeline, 8, and Erin, 3, of
Clarksville, Tenn.; parents,
[retired Army Major] Robert
and Kathleen Quinlan of
Bradley Beach; grandmother
Mary Quinlan of Eatontown;
sister and brother-in-law Susan
and Greg Ripke of Seymour,
Conn., and many nieces and
nephews.
In lieu of flowers, the Quinlan
family has asked that donations
be made to the Quinlan Family
Donation Fund, c/o U.S. Bank,

throughout the borough.
The district has already
begun enforcing recycling
throughout several areas in the
school, including bins to separate materials throughout the
building.
The PTO hopes to involve a
variety of people from the
Bradley Beach community as
judges.
Those who win the recycling
poster contest are expected to
receive prizes.
Board of education member
Dwight Gerdes, who attended
the PTO meeting, said that the
students will receive “rewards
for doing something good.”
In other news, the PTO discussed a new program that may
be heading to the school district, that may thwart potentially dangerous situations.
The “Watchful I” program,
which was discussed at last
month’s board of education
meeting, would allow students
to report incidents anonymously to school officials through a
computer.
DEP to help with
CAFRA permits
By Caren Caterina
The New Jersey Department
of Environmental Protection is
working with Bradley Beach to
develop a general Coastal Area
Facility Review Act [CAFRA]
permit that would allow the
borough to cover more of its
beach maintenance activities
under one permit.
“It [general CAFRA permit]
will give us a better understanding of things we may do,”
said
Bradley
Beach
Councilwoman Lori MarchakOrtiz.
The borough had received
violations from the DEP in the
beginning of the year, for
actions considered beach maintenance, such as adding more
Christmas trees to the north
end of the boardwalk to help
protect the dunes. The trees,
donated from residents over the
years, helped create dunes to
protect the beach from losing
windblown sand.
Assemblyman Sean Kean
[R-11] attended a DEP meeting
on Feb. 22
with
Councilwoman Marchak-Ortiz
and Public Works Supervisor
Richard Bianchi Jr to discuss
the violations and resolve the
permitting issues.
“You cannot move sand
around or construct projects,
without the permission of a
CAFRA permit,”
said
Councilwoman
Marchak-
Ortiz.
The councilwoman added
that the borough did not have
an individual CAFRA permit
to add or construct to the
dunes, resulting in the DEP
violations.
Though the fines were
dropped, the violations still
remain, but the councilwoman
said the borough is working on
rectifying the problem with the
state agency.
“We’re trying to have the
DEP reorganize our general
CAFRA permit, to list more
things,” said Councilwoman
Marchak-Ortiz.
Assemblyman Kean said the
CAFRA permits, can also be
very costly, ranging from
$7,000 to $10,000 per permit,
but added the DEP plans on
working with the borough to
help make the permit process
less expensive.
Councilwoman MarchakOrtiz, recently addressed the
DEP issue at the last mayor and
council meeting, and stated that
the DEP “promised us they
would come down to help us
organize our CAFRA permits
long term.
“They will walk the beachfront with us, and help us foresee over the next five years what
we need to do to maintain our
beachfront,” Councilwoman
Marchak-Ortiz added.
Students would be able to
report a variety of incidents,
ranging from drug and alcohol
abuse to something as severe as
weapons in the school or a
bomb threat.
“It can report issues of bullying, a whole range of topics,”
said Mrs. Charette, “and alerts
the school and police department.”
The program can also alert
parents and students of school
closings and has the capability
of sending alerts via e-mail or
by telephone.
Mr. Gerdes added that the
“Watchful I” is “another layer of
protection” for the school.
The “Watchful I” program is
already established in several
Monmouth County school districts, including Long Branch
and more recently, Belmar.
At Thursday evening’s meeting, the PTO addressed an
upcoming event that will help
cut down the cost for the eighth
graders’
annual
trip
to
Washington, D.C. in May.
Dr. Turner said he is hopeful
that the planned March 16
pasta dinner, which will feature
10 to 20 gift baskets for an auction, as well as a raffle and
50/50 drawing, will help reduce
the costs of the annual trip.
“That’s the intention, that we
try to keep the costs down. The
price of the ticket goes directly
into the Washington, D.C.
fund,” Dr. Turner said.
The cost per student runs
approximately $460.
In other news from the
Bradley Beach Elementary
School PTO meeting:
• The district’s After-School
Enrichment Programs are set to
begin this week for the primary
grades.
The programs, which include
classes such as arts and crafts,
cooking and hands-on science,
are held Tuesday through
Thursday.
The classes will remain open
to students until they are filled.
• The school recently held an
honor roll party for students
who made that achievement.
Students who earned honor
roll status received certificates
as well as a pizza party in
February.
“I think they are proud of the
certificates and we’ll keep doing
it,” Mrs. Charette stated.
At least 50 students made the
honor roll.

Bradley Beach blotter
By Caren Caterina
The Bradley Beach Police
Department reported the recent
borough activity:
• On Feb. 14, William TorresEspinoza, 22, of Bradley Beach,

The issue of non-migrant
Canada geese has become a
pressing one in recent years for
municipalities in Monmouth
County, and that is something
that the GeesePeace program
hopes to continue to address
with direct action.
The organization held an
information and training session
on Monday afternoon and
evening in the Belmar Municipal
building, chaired by the organization’s national president,
David Feld.
GeesePeace is a wildlife program based out of Falls Church,
Va., whose goal is to “build better communities through innovative, effective and humane
solutions to wildlife conflicts.”
Local municipalities that participate in the program include
Avon, Belmar, Bradley Beach,
Lake Como, Spring Lake and
Spring Lake Heights. Their program is based on three main
areas of interest, all of which seek
to curb the population of resident, non-migrating Canada
geese in the area: population stabilization, site aversion and public education.
The goal of goose population
stabilization can be reached
through the program’s trained
members, who sign up either online or through their local
municipalities to directly assist in
goose population control. In
addition to the registration
sheet, the GeesePeace members
are also required to sign a liability release form, which waives
GeesePeace of any responsibility
for injuries or negligence associated with this activity.
Population control is managed
on the community level through
the coating of goose eggs with
corn oil during nesting season in
the spring months, a method
which is considered humane by

residents regarding their participation in the population control
program on Monday afternoon in the Belmar Municipal
Building.
of Animals [PETA] and the
Humane Society of the United
States [HSUS]. When the
porous eggs are coated with oil,
they are not able to hatch
because it does not allow oxygen
to enter or carbon dioxide to
escape from the egg.
All egg oiling requires the permission of property owners,
unless the nest is located on borough-owned property.
The second strategy used by
GeesePeace is known as site
aversion, which attempts to force
the geese to abandon a nesting
location by making them feel
unsafe in that area. This is done
through the assistance of a handler-supervised and trained border collie, who will be released
into a nesting habitat or nearby
body of water to scare the geese
away. This must be done before
the molting season because once
the birds begin losing their
feathers in late-June, the animals
are protected by Environmental
Protection Agency regulations.
It is recommended by
GeesePeace that supervised handlers of the border collies obtain
permission from property owners bordering on lakes and ponds
to allow the dogs off their leashes and possibly on their property
in an effort to chase the geese
from the area.
According to Mr. Feld, “the
best way is for the community to
provide a public service
announcement or place an
advertisement that the program
is available and free to property
owners who wish to participate.”
The third tactic used by members of GeesePeace involves public education, and getting the
word out about controlling the
goose population and just as
importantly, discouraging residents from feeding the geese and
allowing them to set up permanent residence in their area.
GeesePeace has developed signage systems and brochures
which explain why feeding the
geese is harmful to both the local
environment and to the geese
themselves. The brochure states
that feeding wildlife is against
local laws, bread and popcorn are
unhealthy for geese and that
feeding the geese may make
them more aggressive towards
people in general.
The local municipalities mentioned have participated in the
program for several years. For

Breakfast held for Rec
basketball players
By Nick Malfitano
The
Avon
Recreation
Department held its third annual
breakfast event at the Avon Fire
Department, located next to the
Municipal Building gymnasium
this past Saturday, for kindergarten through second-grade students who participate in their basketball clinic.
“Every year, it’s a huge success,
it’s nice to do something for the
kids,” said Pam Carter, wife of
Avon Recreation Director Doug
Carter.
Through Mrs. Carter’s description of the program, the Avon
Recreation Department’s basketball clinic helps young players
hone their skills at an early age.
“They [the children] meet early
in the morning, and for the first
half of the session do warm-ups
and drills, and then are divided
into two teams and play against
one another,” said Mrs. Carter.
She said games against teams
from other towns do not commence until players are in third
grade, and kindergartners in the
clinic play together, whereas firstand second-grade players are sep-
arated into boys and girls divisions.
Mrs. Carter said that parent
Paul Saulys did a majority of the
cooking, as the breakfast event
went through 9 pounds of bacon,
8 pounds of sausage, several cartons of eggs, a lot of hash browns
and five to six boxes of pancake
mix.
According to Mrs. Carter, Al
Lingo, a volunteer firefighter in
Avon, along with other parents,
helped set up, and were helpful in
serving food to the children at the
event.
“We used to give out little
medals, but I think the kids enjoy
this more,” Mrs. Carter commented.

Education funding for 2007-08 is too little, too late
LEGISLATIVE
MATTERS
While the
New
Jersey
Department of
Education
r e c e n t l y
announced that
school districts
would receive
increased state
aid, this small
By
increase does
ASSEMBLYMAN nothing
to
SEAN T. KEAN compensate for
[R-11]
the fact that
most
school
districts have been flat funded
for 5 straight years. This
increase, which will be 3 percent
for more than half of the schools,
is really too little too late.
Since 2002, school districts
have received the same amount
of funding regardless of whether
a particular district’s enrollment
increased. At the same time, utilities increased, incidental costs
were still incurred, and contractual obligations continued. All
non-Abbott schools, close to 585
school districts, were forced to
make do with funding at the
2002 levels for the past five years.
The funding increase will distribute $200 million in aid to 585
school districts while the 31
Abbott districts will continue to
receive a disproportionately
higher amount of aid, an additional
$100
million.
Furthermore, the $200 million
being dispersed between the 585
school districts will not be evenly distributed.
For example, a growing school
district such as Wall Township is
only slated to receive the minimum 3 percent increase. Wall
Township’s school enrollment
has increased nearly 20 percent
since 1998-1999, but has not
received new aid since 2002.
While I am sure the Wall
Township School District can
use this extra 3 percent, it is not
nearly enough to deal with the
increasing costs and enrollment
growth that the district has experienced.
This small increase is also very
disappointing because this summer the Legislative leadership
formed a special committee to
study the state’s school funding
formula. However, after months
of deliberation, no new funding
formula has been introduced.
The committee I refer to
above, the Joint Legislative
Committee on Public School
Funding Reform, met throughout the summer and fall of 2006
in an effort to establish an alternative to the way the state funds
the public education system.
However, the administration has
not implemented or even
addressed this committee’s proposals and findings.
Obviously, we need comprehensive school funding reform in
New Jersey. In last year’s budget,
$10 billion of the more than $30
billion budget was spent on education. Sixty percent of this $10
billion went to the 31 Abbott
districts. The other $4 billion
went to the 585 non-Abbott
school districts. With one-third
of the entire state budget going
toward education, we must
ensure that this money is spent
in the most efficient and cost
effective manner. The state has
sufficient money to provide a
quality education for our children; the problem is that the formula has been neglecting suburban school districts for years.
In fact, I have participated in
several forums in Monmouth
County discussing the school
funding formula and how it is
impacting suburban schools in
the county. At these meetings,
many parents have conveyed
their urgent feelings that the
funding formula be changed so it
is more equitable and that any
waste or misuse of education
funding dollars be immediately
addressed.
In addition, I am also a cosponsor of ACR-106 which proposes an amendment to the New
Jersey Constitution which would
describe the manner in which
the legislature shall provide for
the maintenance and support of
a thorough and efficient system
of free public school. This legis-

VOLUNTEER FIRST AID SQUADS DO NOT GET PAYMENT FOR
SERVICES
Editor, The Coast Star:
Two articles appearing in the Sunday, Feb. 25 edition of the
Asbury Park Press related to payments to MONOC by
Medicare were very misleading due to statements attributed to
Vince Robbins of MONOC and Scott Kasper of the New
Jersey Association of Paramedic Programs [NJAPP].
The article stated that according to Mr. Robbins, MONOC
would receive an average of $1,100 per response and give a
$200 cut to the local BLS [Basic Life Support] provider.
Please understand that Mr. Robbins was referring to any BLS
provider that was a paid squad. Volunteer first aid squads, such
as Manasquan First Aid Squad, would receive nothing. We as
a volunteer organization, cannot and do not receive payment
for our services.
The article quoted a statement made by Mr. Kasper that
allowing mobile paramedic services like MONOC “to transport, bill for and retain 100 percent of the revenue for services
provided will take revenue away from municipalities, fire
departments, volunteer rescue squads and other commercial
entities that run BLS ambulance squads.” Again, volunteers
cannot and do not get paid for their services.
I am quite certain that these men did not mean to overlook
the status of the volunteer squads. It was an oversight on their
part. I, as an active member of Manasquan First Aid Squad,
am well-familiar with the services MONOC provides. They
are a group of highly trained, dedicated persons who have been
available to give advanced life support [ALS] not within the
scope of your local first aid squads BLS training. They are only
called upon when needed for certain kinds of life threatening
situations such as cardiac, severe trauma, allergic reactions, respiratory distress, etc. Most cases handled by the BLS units do
not require the need for ALS personnel.
There is a need for the services such as MONOC provides,
just as there is a need for the services of a volunteer first aid
squad. Volunteers rely on the participation of citizens within
the community to donate their time of service and the funding through donations to support their effort. When this balance of support by the generous citizen fails, it becomes imperative for the municipality to support a paid squad. Don’t let
this happen in your community.
MONOC is necessary for the immediate treatment of the
patient as if an arm of the emergency room and should be
compensated accordingly, the transport of the patient can be
by volunteers without any compensation. This is the way it
should be.

THERE HAS GOT TO BE A BETTER SYSTEM
Editor, The Coast Star:
I think that this new trash pick-up at the curb is a joke. I live
up by the Glimmer Glass and it is hit or miss, if I can find my
garbage cans at the end of the day. If the town is saving money
with this new system, then why have my taxes go up $500?
Is there such a thing as trash cans made of cement, so that
we can have a real eyesore at the end of our driveways, but will
not have to get replacements any time we have a windstorm.
There has got to be a better system.

CHILLY WEATHER DIDN’T STOP MIDWINTER BEACH RUN
FUN
Editor, The Coast Star:
I would like to thank the borough of Manasquan for allowing us to have the 4th Annual Midwinter Beach Run this past
Feb 17. It was a huge success. Again we had close to 1,000
runners & walkers. The participants came from surrounding
towns, New York, Pennsylvania & even Hawaii. We were able
to raise over $12,000 for the Manasquan First Aid Squad.
This organization consists of professional people who volunteer their value time. They must keep abreast of new techniques and equipment in order to save our lives. I am very
pleased we were able to contribute to their organization for
their great service.
I would like to thank the supportive sponsors of the Mid
Winter Beach Run. They include NJ State First Aid, Keith
Walsh Plumbing, Mill Restaurant, PL Custom ER Vehicles,
Sea Girt Police, Greg's Auto Care, Poss Construction and
Dempsey's Carpet Cleaning.
A special thanks to Leggett's Sand Bar manager Paul Cisek
and the staff for hosting the run. They provided a post run
party with a delicious and abundant buffet along with a fun
atmosphere.
Thanks goes out to all the volunteers who helped at the run.
This includes many members of the Jersey Shore Running
Club, the First Aid Squad, and all our friends who have
helped the past 4 years. Without volunteers, fund raising
events such as this would not be successful. I thank you all very
much.
Looking forward to another great race next year.

Irene Hale trades in pink ballet slippers
for sneakers, runs 230K race in Costa Rica
I
rene Hale’s fellow racers
did not have much confidence in her. Judging from
her manicured nails and
dangling earrings, participants
in the Coastal Challenge, a
230-kilometer race around
Costa Rica, bet she would be
the first to cry out on the
course. But Ms. Hale is not as
delicate as some believe. The
36-year-old aerobics instructor
from Spring Lake finished
fourth among some 20 women
participants in last month’s sixday race.
Ms. Hale’s athletic prowess is
not to be contested, spanning
the art of dance, the disciplined
world of body building, and
now, the endurance-driven
sport of long distance running.
Growing up in a Greek
Orthodox family, Ms. Hale, a
natural athlete, was discouraged
from participating in soccer and
track and field. Fearful that
their daughter would be injured
in more combative sports, her
parents instead promoted Ms.
Hale’s involvement in dance.
Ms. Hale, who spent many
childhood summers in Greece
and speaks the language fluently, followed her parent’s advice
and became a modern, ballet
and jazz dancer.
Dancing was a constant in
Ms. Hale’s life up through college, attending a performing
arts school in Red Bank and
governor’s school at Trenton
State College. She described
her time at the governor’s
school as “Fame school,” comparing it to the 1982 hit dance
film.
The Neptune native, who
now resides in Spring Lake,
went on to study dance at
Philadelphia’s
Temple
University and later graduated
with a degree in athletic training.
“I switched to athletic training to have a ‘real-job’ back up
plan,” Ms Hale said.
Already a natural performer
from her experience in dance,
Ms. Hale’s hobby of weight lifting briefly carried over into the
competitive realm.
“I started lifting weights in
college and liked the way it
shaped my body,” she said. “And
a friend said why don’t you
compete.”
So she did.
Though her weightlifting
stint was brief, Ms. Hale maintains an incredible level of
strength, mainly through long
distance running.
A non-competitive runner
for the past 15 years, Ms. Hale
described herself as a “put on
the music and go along” sort of
runner. But after having three
children –– Matthew, 6,
Nathan, 4, and Melanie, 2 ––
with husband Edwin, 42, she
decided to take the sport more
seriously.
“Something happens when a
woman turns 35,” Ms. Hale
said. “After three kids, I wanted
to be Irene again.”
Within a year, Ms. Hale
went from being a recreational
Spring Lake Five participant to
the first place finisher among
borough residents.
“It was a good ego-booster,”
Ms. Hale said of finishing at
the top in her hometown race.
Ms. Hale went on to compete in the 2005 Jersey Shore
Grand Prix, a series of five,
five-kilometer
races
in
Monmouth County –– the
Spring Lake Five, George
Sheehan Classic in Red Bank,
Belmar Five Mile Run, Asbury
Park 5K and Pier Village 5K in
Long Branch. Racers are
awarded points depending on
where their placement is in
each of the Grand Prix runs
and Ms. Hale placed third
overall among women.
Having nearly mastered
shorter distances, the next stop
for Ms. Hale was marathon
running. She began in Chicago.
“I hit the wall at 19 miles and
walked the rest of the way,” Ms.
Hale said of her four hour and
24-minute finish in the Windy
City’s marathon.
She then went on to run the
Jersey Shore Marathon. Ms.
Hale’s three hour and 45minute finish in her home state
qualified her for the storied
Boston Marathon, which she
plans to run next April.
In 2006, Ms. Hale ran the
Turkey Swamp 50K in New
Jersey and finished second
among female racers.
With such a strong finish
behind her, Ms. Hale returned

ends of the earth to test her strength and endurance. Ms. Hale proved just that when she finished fourth among some 20 women participants in last month’s Coastal Challenge in Costa Rica.
to Chicago that year and
shaved nearly an hour off the
previous year’s marathon, finishing in three hours and 39
minutes.
“Getting past the 20 mile
point was the big thing,” Ms.
Hale said of her second
Chicago Marathon.
After such rigorous competition, Ms. Hale began shopping
around on the Internet for a
yoga retreat.
“Yoga came into my life twoand one-half years ago,” she
said. “It de-stresses me, makes
me more flexible in mind and
body, and it’s a great workout.”
But now an accomplished
runner, Ms. Hale was not des-

tined for relaxation. It was online that she discovered The
Coastal Challenge, a 230-kilometer adventure run through
Costa Rica’s dry northwest, volcanic region, lakes, highlands
and the tropical forest.
Once she decided to take on
the challenge, training for an
even longer distance run on
varied terrain required Ms.
Hale to step up her weekly
mileage. The bulk of her 55
miles run each week was completed at the Manasquan
Reservoir. The loop around the
Reservoir, Ms. Hale said, is a
little more than five miles. She
explained that each week park
rangers would joke, “How many
laps are you doing today?”
In preparation for the
Coastal Challenge, Ms. Hale
ran for one hour every weekday
and three- and one-half to five
hours over the weekend, which
she combined with strength
and conditioning training.
Ms. Hale took a “boot camp”
style class, she said, at CrossFit
Jersey Shore in Avon-by-theSea. Ms. Hale credits her five
months in the class, which
included rope climbs and push
ups, with much of her success in
Costa Rica.
Irene Hale raced past
windmills [left] six hours
into the second day of
the 230K race, when she
reached the third and
final checkpoint before
the finish line. At age 35,
Ms. Hale, [right] a mother of three, has a body
that has been sculpted
and toned from years of
dance training, weight
lifting, aerobic workouts
and long-distance running.
“I wouldn’t have made it up
the hills,” had it not been for
CrossFit,” Ms. Hale said.
Mike Stehle, one of
CrossFit’s owners, agreed that
Ms. Hale’s weight training gave
her “a bit of a kick” in the
Coastal
Challenge.
He
explained that many runners
train by running and do not
consider working on strength
and conditioning.
Of Ms. Hale in the gym, Mr.
Stehle said, “ She is very receptive, always asking questions.
Whatever you told her to do,
she did. Irene is very coachable.
If you told her to climb the side
of the building, she would.
That’s the kind of people we
love.”
Ms. Hale employed a weekday nanny and a weekend
babysitter in order to get
through her training.
“Training gets to you. It
becomes a job,” she said. “I’m
very lucky that I was able to do
that.”
Moira Horan, a tri-athlete
from Spring Lake Heights and
Ms. Hale’s friend, witnessed
firsthand the personal challenges of Ms. Hale’s training.
“She does a lot with her
kids,” Ms. Horan said of Ms.
Hale. “It wasn’t easy for her to
find the time and inner
strength [to prepare for the
race].”
But Ms. Horan also believes
that her friend’s discipline sent
a positive message to Ms.
Hale’s three children.
“She really showed her children that she’s a strong person,”
Ms. Horan said.
Despite her extensive preparation, Ms. Hale remembers
having the feeling that she
actually had not trained enough
when she first arrived in Costa
Rica. Fellow competitors were
rattling off their “running
resumes,” many of which
included 100-mile races, Ms.
Hale recalled.
Regardless of who had run
how far before arriving in Costa
Rica, all 68 Coastal Challenge
participants, of which 41 completed the full race, began at the
starting line on Feb. 4.
With 17 miles of open trail
ahead of her, Ms. Hale ascended a log-covered hill. She
remembers looking ahead at
runners and only seeing knees
flying up from underneath
them, she said. Ms. Hale persevered through mud and rain
and finished the first leg of the
race in just under four hours.
The second day, Ms. Hale
explained, pushed her body to
its physical limits.
“If you came for a life-changing experience, day two was it,”
she said of the 45-mile leg of
the race, which she completed
in nine hours and 23 minutes.
The second day also challenged Ms. Hale’s patience and
sense of direction.
“You’re on your own and no
one is coming to get you,” she
explained.
The Coastal Challenge
course was marked by orange
ribbons, which were only placed
in areas where runners were
required to make a turn.
Without mile markers to provide any indication of distance
travelled, Ms. Hale was completely alone for hours at a time
without any idea of how far
away the finish line might be.
Six hours into the second day
of the race, Ms. Hale reached
the third and final check point
before the finish line. She
began walking down a winding
white road, passing large windmills. Still alone, the “whooshing” sound of the windmills’
rotating arms filled the air.
More and more hills laid
ahead, Ms. Hale recalled, many
of which were covered with
rock.
“I’d run ahead and then slide
back,” she said of running on
the rocky terrain.
Tears welled in Ms. Hale’s
eyes as she ascended what
seemed to be another endless
hill.
“Just get up there, Irene,” she
told herself, but inside, she confessed, she was beginning to
doubt her ability to finish out
the day.
Yet, Ms. Hale found another
glimmer of encouragement
when she passed a fellow racer,
and later, a Costa Rican man on
a donkey who gestured that she
was headed in the right direction.
“I was never so happy to see
the Coastal Challenge banner,”
Ms. Hale said of spotting the
second day’s finish line on the
horizon.
“That’s the furthest distance
I had ever accomplished and I
did it on my own,” she said
beaming.
What might seem like an
impossible feat for some was
the “recovery day” that followed. Ms. Hale placed third
on the third day of the Coastal
Challenge, completing an 11mile distance in a little over two
hours.
“I felt no pain that day,” she
said. “I finished the run in two
hours and had the rest of the
day to hang out.”
By the third day, Ms. Hale
was missing some of life’s simplest amenities, namely a hot
shower and junk food. Each
night the racers camped –– in a
soccer field on the third night
–– and all the runners had to
share one cold-water shower.
Ms. Hale, who had been running with nutrient enhanced
water on her back, primarily
survived on Fig Newtons and
Gu, an energy gel, on the trail.
“It got to the point, where I

THERE IS SOMETHING ROTTEN IN THE
BOROUGH OF BRIELLE
Editor, The Coast Star:
At the Borough of Brielle meeting Feb. 12, the
Brielle council attorney, Mr. Montenegro, claimed
that it was impossible to negotiate with the library,
that litigation was the only option. The Brielle
town council would have us assume that one group
of intelligent reasonable residents is not able to sit
down and negotiate with another group of intelligent, reasonable residents.
I worked with the U.S. government in a nation
considered to be an adversary of ours. I was
involved in, and observed many difficult dealings
with representatives of that country. Somehow a
deal was always struck.
There is something rotten in the Borough of
Brielle, to paraphrase Hamlet. In our case the odors
rising from Borough Hall suggest a suspected hidden agenda that has led to wildly inappropriate
action. To infer from external evidence, the council,

This week’s question:
as guided by Mr. Bolger, aims to destroy the library
in its present form. Assuming this construct of
motive, litigation is logically preferable to negotiation. If one is willing to negotiate, then one accepts
the right of the other party to exist.
The conflict has inadvertently gravitated into the
orbit of negotiation. This is due to the blessed common sense of Judge Lehrer, who recently heard the
charges brought by the Borough of Brielle. He
decreed that there will be no litigation. Rather, he
will mediate at a session where both parties will be
required to hammer out an agreement. At present,
the legal attempt to evict the library and take its liquid and solid assets is on hold. Like Fortinbras in
Hamlet, Judge Lehrer has come to put the house in
order. I would expect that he takes it as a given that
the Brielle Library has a right to exist in its present
form.
Perhaps sanity will now rule. In most negotiations each side gets something and neither side gets
everything. If Judge Lehrer can assure supporters of
Brielle Library at least that much, it would be fair
enough.

brought suit, the Library Association offered a package of negotiations. Mr. Bolger rejected them out of hand. Now, even after Judge
Lehrer has ordered both parties to appear before him on March 7,
ready to negotiate, the Library Association renewed an offer to negotiate; as of this writing, the Borough of Brielle has not responded.

BRIELLE LIBRARY HAD BECOME ONE OF NEW JERSEY ’S FINEST
Editor, The Coast Star:
On April 17, 1988, the Brielle Library dedicated its new building
at Brielle Park, a Green Acres site. The building was paid for by the
Borough of Brielle, but all furnishings and equipment were purchased
by the Library Board from its Building Fund, which was initiated in
the 1950’s. The board spent $69,567.84 to turn a spacious but empty
site into a working public library.
Councilwoman Ann Scott served as a liaison to the library then,
and was quoted in an article by The Herald as follows: “If each family
in Brielle joined the Library Association, at a cost of $15 each year, an
additional $37,000 would be added to the library fund.” The article
also reports that the library maintained a “wishbook” of needed items,
and that patrons of the library could choose what their donations
would purchase.
This newspaper article, which was published April 21, 1988, also
notes that “the operation of the library will be somewhat curtailed due
to budgetary considerations.” In that same paragraph, it states “however, the Brielle Council has indicated to the Library Association that
every effort will be made to furnish additional funds once they
become available.”
This spirit of cooperation between the Borough Council and the
Brielle Library Association allowed the library to greatly expand its
services to our residents over the last 18 years. Under the leadership
of Director Richard Bidnick, ours has become one of the state’s finest
small libraries.
How did it all go wrong last year? What might have been a miscommunication between council and the Library Association has ballooned into a small town nightmare of locked doors, subpoenas, lawsuits, court dates, and vicious gossip. Is it all about money? The
municipal budget for 2006 dedicated $26 per capita for the Brielle
Library. That means I paid $26 to borrow about 100 videos, 125
books, and over 100 magazines. For me, that’s a bargain.
Is it about power? For over 50 years, the borough and the Library
Association worked together, without a formal contract, to create and
grow an institution for the benefit of the community. Now, borough
council has cut off all communication with the library. The library’s
assets are frozen, and even if this is all resolved in court, mistrust will

ST. CATHARINE SCHOOL GIRLS VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM ARE
MORE THAN WINNERS
Editor, The Coast Star:
I am writing to congratulate the St. Catharine School Girls Varsity
basketball team on winning the championship title in both the
Monmouth-Ocean County Parochial School and Monmouth County
Athletic School Leagues this week. These talented girls, led by their
equally gifted coaches, Ellen Masonius and Tina Marsicano, deserve
recognition beyond the title of champions on the court. These accomplished girls are not only athletically talented, but under the guidance
of their coaches and parents, have set a new standard for sportsmanship and conduct on the court. With the media riddled with one news
story after another about the unsportsmanlike behaviors on and off
the athletic fields, is it reassuring to find a group of young athletes
who respect one another, their coaches and their opponents. This
team became champions because they were passionate about the
sport, received outstanding coaching, practiced hard, worked as a
team, demonstrated Christian values, and never forgot to appreciate
the support they received from their parents and their school community. The camaraderie that was displayed throughout the season by
these outstanding seventh and eighth grade girls is an example of
what a school athletic program should be. With a combined record of
38 to 0, they must be doing something right.

He believes the two doublewide trailers would be the best
short term solution to the
problem.
Mr. Fraytak pointed out that
the trailers may only be used
for two years, after which the
school district from the county
superintendent on a yearly
basis to continue using them.
In addition, the district must
submit reports each year to the
state that detail what its plans
for long-term solutions are.
Board member Terry Van
Ness was adamant that Central
School get the trailers as soon
as possible.
She said, “The board of education has two choices, either
this needs to be done or put it
out in the form of a referendum
question” at the April 17 school
board election.
“We need to take action on
this and move forward,” she
said, adding the trailers are
“absolutely necessary.”
Principal Storts that if the
trailers were to be used, students would be taken out of the
library and media center and
out into one trailer, while the
other trailer would be split and
be used for special-needs students, freeing up needed space
in the building.
This is not the first time that
expansion in the town’s schools
has been discussed. On May
12, 1998, a referendum was
passed for $39 million, though
the vote passed by only six
votes. The referendum included expanding and renovating
each school in the district, with
the exception of
Primary
School.
A referendum was defeated
on March 9, 2004 in the
amount of $11.2 million that
sought to renovate the high
school and Central School.
If the referendum was
approved, the expansion at the
high school would have included 13 general classrooms, two
science rooms, a large group
instruction room, two special
education classrooms, two
resource rooms and boys’ and
girls’ locker room facilities.
Because the addition would
have encroached on existing
athletic fields, the proposal also
called for the relocation of the
freshman softball field and creation of a new multipurpose
field to take the place of two
other fields at the time.
Another multipurpose field
would have been constructed at
the school’s athletic complex
on 18th Avenue.
At the Feb. 6 board of education meeting, the topic of
purchasing a bubble that would
be used as a permanent space
so existing space in the high
school could be properly renovated without disrupting the
class schedule was raised.
The bubble will be used as
replacement for the original
gym and weight room. It would
not be used as space for classroom instruction.
At that meeting, Mrs. Van
Ness said the bubble is a
“short-term solution that can
be a long-term, cost-effective
solution.”
Board Vice President Doug
Wild suggested that the board
vote on the trailers at the next
meeting, slated for Tuesday,
March 13, at 8 p.m. at the
Intermediate School, on the
trailers, this way members can
think about if they believe the
trailers are needed.
Superintendent Habel said
that at the March 13 meeting,
the board will discuss potential
long-term solutions adding, “I
think it’s time for that.”

THE COAST STAR, THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 2007
No terrain too tough for Spring Lake’s Hale to take on
— FROM PAGE 33 —
thought, ‘I can’t eat any more
Gu,’” she exclaimed.
At the campsites, Costa Rican
chefs prepared rice, bean and
meat dishes for repast, but Ms.
Hale most vividly recalls one
snack, a Snickers bar, that was
generously donated to her by a
fellow competitor.
And it was these other runners, in part, who transformed
the Coastal Challenge from a
race to an experience for Ms.
Hale.
— PROJECTS —
From Page 20
to, and when they were questioned as to why they did so, they
said there were no clear markings
of where their boundaries were.
The ordinance, he said, has prevented clear-cutting from occurring at the pace in which it once
was in Wall Township.
Committeeman
Thomson
replied that the board may “implement measures that require them
to stabilize the site,” when asked
“I met the most incredible
people –– from 16 different
countries,” she said. “Now I have
friends from India, Ireland, from
all over.”
Ms. Hale was in awe of the
diversity of the group, members
of which were mostly in their 30s
and 40s, and noted one man in
particular, an 80-year-old who
completed the entire race.
“It was amazing to sit down
and learn from these people,” she
said of the evenings at the campsites.
On the third evening of the
Coastal Challenge, race organizers let runners read the “shout
outs” posted for them on the
race’s Web site. Ms. Hale found
inspiration in her friends’ comments, including Ms. Horan’s,
who tracked her friend’s progress
in the race through daily updates
on the Web.
Despite having already proven
herself on the trail, Ms. Hale said
she had to work to shake her “so
cute” image. She was playfully
teased for having a fresh set of
clothing to wear each day.
“You’re fresh every morning,”
what can be done to ensure the
builders do not work outside of
the area approved by the board.
He said that clear-cutting has
“increased because the sites being
developed are more commercial”
in the township.
Mr. Rubino said there have
been “a couple of developers who
didn’t go along with the representation in the course of what
they’ve submitted” to the planning
board in their application to build.
Mr. Rubino did point out that
neither the Wall Planning Board
nor the Wall Board of Adjustment
can police or enforce actions
against developers who do not
comply with the terms of their
approvals, only township inspectors have that ability.
Mr. Rubino said he is currently
conducting research to see if some
language could be attached to the
approved applications so developers will follow the rules of the
application and have something to
“worry about” if they go beyond
the scope of the approval.
Citizen of the Month Students Recognized
Photo courtesy of Lori Mathews
One student from each grade at Spring Lake Heights Elementary School was named a
“Citizen of the Month” for March. Students are selected for setting a good example by
exhibiting caring and respectful behaviors, not accumulating any disciplinary points, finishing their assignments and being randomly kind to others.
she said some of the runners
would tell her.
Other women in the Coastal
Challenge thought Ms. Hale
“looked like a cute aerobics
instructor,” she said.
She is a “cute” aerobics
instructor at the Atlantic Club in
Manasquan, but her peers
learned cute does not always
mean weak.
Ms. Hale’s agility was of particular use on the fourth day of
the race when she had to swing
on ropes, jump from rock to
rock, and swim through a rapidly-flowing river four times.
The fourth portion of the
Coastal Challenge was 35 miles
in length and Ms. Hale completed the run in just over seven
hours. At the end of the leg, she
pushed herself beyond another
strong female competitor, she
proudly explained, and was
rewarded with the “best shower
of the race” in the sunshine that
afternoon and a cold Coca-Cola.
“We were in heaven,” Ms.
Hale said.
Before setting out for the fifth
day of the race, a 20-mile distance, the runners enjoyed a
decadent pancake breakfast, Ms.
Hale recalled, but something was
amiss.
“I knew my ankle wasn’t
right,” she said. Ms. Hale
wrapped her right ankle before
setting out that day and, due to
her discomfort, walked the second half of the fifth day’s distance, finishing in four hours and
46 minutes.
The sun was beating down as
she walked the remaining 10
miles to the finish line on the
fifth day. Ms. Hale used what little Spanish she had, “agua por
favor,” to ask Costa Ricans for
water.
The fifth leg of the race finished on the shore and the group
of competitors camped oceanside
that night.
“Now this is vacation,” Ms.
Hale remembered thinking as
she sat down in the sand to
admire the blue sea water.
That evening, she watched a
sunset that seemed like “a picture
out of a movie” and observed
newly hatched baby sea turtles
slowly-maneuver their way from
the sand to the ocean.
Ms. Hale, who left the comfort of her Tuttle Avenue home
in Spring Lake to run 128 miles
in Costa Rica, said, “That’s a
long way for a baby turtle.”
Coastal Challenge competitors were just 12 miles away from
the finish line –– and a resort ––
on the sixth and final day of the
race, which Ms. Hale finished in
a little over two hours.
That last portion of the race
was a blur for Ms. Hale, but she
ran the entire time, finishing
fourth and 23 minutes ahead of
the fifth place woman.
At the finish line, Ms. Hale
said she was “stunned.”
“I was not happy or sad,” she
said.
But later, in the comfort of her
own hotel room, the magnitude
of Ms. Hale’s accomplishment
hit her.
“I sat on the bed and started
crying,” she said.
She continued, “I had done all
my training on my own. I had
read books and took somewhat
of a risk. We don’t have an ultra
running club [in this area]. The
race changed my outlook on
everything.”
Ms. Horan, along with many
other admirers of Ms. Hale’s
accomplishments, are “looking
forward to watching her do
more,” Ms. Horan said.
As her dedication to running
would dictate, Ms. Hale already
has another goal in place ––
November’s JFK 50-miler in
Washington
County, Md.
Leading up to the fall, she plans
to, once again, take on the
Turkey Swamp and try her
sneakers at the Big Sur Trail
Marathon in Andrew Molera
State Park, Big Sur, Calif.
But spectators will not have to
leave the state to see Ms. Hale in
action. Come May, she will be
leading the pack in the Spring
Lake Five.

A curious character, who goes
by the name of Tomato Plant
Girl, visited Brielle Elementary
School last Tuesday to teach students the facts about bullying.
“Tomato Plant Girl,” a play
brought to the Brielle stage by
the PTO, was written by Wesley
Middleton and is performed
around the country to teach
school-age children about selfconfidence.
The play, which was staged for
two groups of Brielle students
last week by members of the
George Street Playhouse in New
Brunswick, follows the story of
‘Little Girl’ through the challenges of childhood. When
Little Girl moves to a new town,
she quickly falls victim to ‘Bossy
Best Friend.’
Little Girl, who lacks selfconfidence, does exactly what
Bossy Best Friend tells her. The
two girls share a garden, but
Bossy Best Friend forbids Little
Girl from touching the tomato
plant. In Bossy Best Friend’s
absence, Little Girl rescues the
tomato plant from its wilted
state and the plant transforms
into ‘Tomato Plant Girl.’
Tomato Plant Girl and Little
Girl become fast friends and
Little Girl comes to understand
what friendship really means.
“She discovers the power of
making up her own rules, the
true meaning of ‘sorry,’ and the
self-confidence not to be bullied,” the “Tomato Plant Girl”
program reads.
“[The play] is the story of
what might have happened if the
impossible magic of a plant spirit came to life and revealed a new
way of looking at friendship and
the world,” Mr. Middleton, the
playwright, said.
Along with the play, Brielle
students were provided a variety
of materials that address bullying. Students could take a quiz,
“Are you a Bully?” which asked
such questions as, “Do you pick
on people who are smaller than
you, or on animals?” and, “Do
you blame other people for
things that go wrong in your
life?” Students who answered
“yes” to three or more of the 12
questions on the bully quiz were
instructed to get help dealing
with their feelings from parents
or teachers.
Another paper outlined
“Something Everyone can do
About Bullies.” Suggestions
included telling a friend to stop
teasing another student and
include a new student in a game.
Conflict resolution was also
outlined for students.
“If you did something that
upset somebody, it’s OK to say
you’re sorry,” one worksheet said.
“A lot of times, that makes the
other person feel better, and you
avoid a fight.”

SCHOOL NEWS AND VIEWS
Avon School exhibit truly a work of art
By Nick Malfitano
There are many things that go
into works of art, just ask any of
the Avon School students whose
work was up for public display in
the municipal building on Feb.
22.
The work of students from
grades K-8 varied from paintings
to drawings and even dioramas,
projects that reflected a diverse
and broad-based art curriculum.
According to Avon School art
teacher Laura Wolpert, that was
by design.
In the program overview, Mrs.
Wolpert states that “the curriculum is designed to expose students to a variety of materials
and to enhance skill and technique. In addition, our program
will focus on art as a tool for
making students aware of social
issues and the world they live in.”
The projects displayed at the
exhibition were varied in form
and execution. These included
drawings the children produced
of themselves as superheroes flying over a cityscape made of construction paper, Egyptian sarcophagi and Native American
masks, among others.
An especially interesting display was that of the “funny
money” created by Avon School’s
fourth-grade students. Rather
than
venerable
presidents
Washington,
Lincoln
or
Jefferson gracing the currency,
the children replaced them with
Pokemon or their favorite sports
stars.
The projects of some seventh
and eighth-grade students
focused on the Grinch, an
enduring character from “How
the Grinch Stole Christmas” by
Dr. Seuss. In contrast to the
character’s sinister and sneering
personality, children drew the
Grinch in the guise of several
other characters, among them
Marge Simpson, James Bond
and Indiana Jones.
Also of interest was a small
display featuring several different
kinds of birds painted in what
appeared to be watercolors. Birds
on display included blue jays,
cardinals, American Bald Eagles,
hummingbirds, ducks and
flamingos.
Next to some of the projects,
the children wrote a sentence or
two as to why they chose a certain piece of art for display at the
exhibition. In the description
accompanying his project, sixthgrade student Nick De Piano
wrote of his mask design: “I
chose this piece because I
thought I did the best out of all
the other projects. For this we
used papier mache, and it was
fun when we all got dirty. That’s
one of the reasons it was my
favorite project.”
A unique aspect of the exhibition was that there was no evaluative judging of the work, which
was done deliberately. Mrs.
Wolpert said that by allowing
the children to express them-
selves creatively without fear of
judgment or critique, it builds
their confidence with regard to
their artwork.
Addressing Avon School parents in her program description,
Mrs. Wolpert said, “Your child
will be encouraged, with guidance to express him or herself
confidently without fear of
ridicule. Your child will have the
opportunity to create two and
three-dimensional art forms
incorporating their individual
style, skill and visual concepts. I
will facilitate this by bringing
lessons to the student’s level. I
want to make art relevant to each
individual, personally.”
Though not on display at the
exhibition, receiving much attention was the “recyclesaurus,” a
recycling container made from
wire and wooden handles in the
shape and form of a dinosaur. In
addition, a contest was previously held to determine the name of
the “recyclesaurus,” which all
school students had a chance to
participate in.
Winning the contest with her
moniker of “Xavier Planet” was
Avon kindergarten student Mary
Bridget Clanton-Calman.
Mrs. Wolpert expressed hope
that the projects would also grace
the hallways of Avon School and
the community. As she put it,
“What better way to celebrate
our children?”

Heights kindergartners,
parents make bird feeders
By Brian O’Keefe
Parents were invited to join
the kindergarten classes of
Nancy Newman and Donna
Ruane at Spring Lake Heights
Elementary
School
last
Wednesday to help their children make homemade peanut
butter, and then use the peanut
butter to make bird feeders.
They began by shelling the
peanuts and blending them to
make peanut butter. The students then tested the peanut butter to make sure it tasted good.
After the taste tests were finished, the students and their parents used the leftover peanut
butter to create a “bird buffet” on
the school grounds.
They smeared logs and some
toilet paper rolls with peanut
butter and then rolled it in bird
seed. Then they placed it next to
the Halloween pumpkin, which
the students have enjoyed watching decompose over the past few
months, Mrs. Newman said.
Birds usually enjoy the peanut
butter, and squirrels were also
allowed to eat some, she added.
The students also learned
about the various parts of a
peanut, including the shells, the
embryo and the skin, as well as
how peanut butter is made commercially in large plants.
Every month, parents come to
join the kindergartners for a special activity. Later this month
they will be painting clam shells
and putting them outside the
school for decoration.

PROVEN RESULTS:
Two months ago when I walked into
your Fitness Together location, I had no
expectation of what would happen. But
in that time, to lose 20 pounds, 4
inches off my waist and 6% body fat
is AMAZING! In all the years that I
have attempted to diet or all the gyms I
have belonged to, I have never been
able to achieve such results. The fantastic
training,
coupled
with
INTRAFITT’s great online “menu”
system has made all the difference. I
can easily find a meal that appeals to
my tastes and limited culinary skills.

RECENTLY APPROVED FIREHOUSE IN GLENDOLA FULL OF
SMOKE?
Editor, The Coast Star:
Recently, the Glendola Fire Co. in Wall had its fire elections and I
voted yes to approve the regular budget and no to the building of a $3
million fire house. It simply makes no sense to build a new firehouse
when the fire house was just recently renovated. At a time when many
of the taxpayers in Glendola are finding it more and more difficult to
remain in Wall it’s time to find more ways to reduce taxes, not increase
them, such as reducing the number of fire districts in Wall. If I am not
mistaken, there are already five firehouses in Wall. I read that the
Glendola Fire House was responding to a fire in Sea Bright. There
must be at least 35 firehouses closer to Sea Bright than Wall.
The construction of a new fire house was approved by a 52 to 11
vote. I feel that at least 95 percent of the voters who voted yes for
building a new firehouse are firemen and their families. Since fire district budgets have reached new highs, and voter turnouts are a joke,
it’s time to move these elections to November and follow the same
format as the November elections. Remember Glendola taxpayers, the
cost of this new firehouse will only come from the residents of
Glendola section.

THE COAST STAR, THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 2007
Business owners join forces to make lifelong dreams reality
By Brian McGinn
To the casual shopper of the
Point Pleasant Beach downtown
business district, the storefront at
707 Arnold Ave. may look like a
typical business.
But don’t be fooled, there is
something special going on inside
of Lynne’s and The Train Room.
For the two proprietors, Lynne
Mahoney and Tim Ferrie respectively, owning their own businesses and doing what they have a
passion for has been a life-long
dream, finally realized with the
opening of the uniquely laid out
shop last year.
What makes this store unique
is the presence of two very distinctly different shops that attract
two very different types of customers.
The front portion of the store
is occupied by Lynn’s — a ladies’
clothing and men’s accessories
store that offers its customers a
wide variety of sizes and styles.
“It is where fashion and style
meet,” Ms. Mahoney said.
In the rear of the building, past
the racks of colorful cruise wear,
elegant evening gowns and fun
casual clothes Lynne’s offers its
customers, is The Train Room, a
complete model railroad store.
The Train Room offers train
model train collectors HO, S and
O Gauge models to fit any experience level.
Mr. Ferrie — who is a harbor
pilot by trade and a former councilman in Point Pleasant — said
The Train Room has something
to offer the model train enthusiast
of any level, whether that be a
beginner or an expert collector,
like himself.
But what makes this union of
two businesses even more unique
is the relationship between the
two owners.
Ms. Mahoney and Mr. Ferrie
do not only share the same building, they have also been friends
for over 20 years.
“I always wanted to have my
own model train store and when
Lynne came to me and asked me
if I wanted to rent part of the
store, I thought it would be
great,” Mr. Ferrie said.
Both stores — which opened
in August 2005 — are allowing
their respective owners to fulfill
their dreams.
Just as Mr. Ferrie had always
wanted to open his own model
train store, Ms. Mahoney has had
a passion for fashion and a dream
to own her own boutique for
years.
“It was always my dream to
open my own place,” Ms.
Mahoney said while doing inventory at her shop. “I have a strong
background in fashion stores,
boutiques and with jewelry, but I
always wanted to have my own
shop.”
With the responsibility of raising a family, Ms. Mahoney’s
dream had to wait for several
years.
But now, with her children
grown, Ms. Mahoney has finally
opened a fashion store all her
own.
Lynne’s offers things that bigger chain clothes stores can not,
both in terms of the types of
clothes offered and the personal
service Ms. Mahoney guarantees.
“I try to find clothing and fash-

BUSINESS PROFILE
LAUREN PARKER, The Ocean Star
Lynne Mahoney and Tim Ferrie have combined their efforts
to create a special shop at 707 Arnold Ave., Point Pleasant
Beach. Visitors to the store can shop for clothes at Lynne’s or
model trains in The Train Room.
LAUREN PARKER, The Ocean Star
Tim Ferrie, owner of The Train Room, 707 Arnold Ave., Point
Pleasant Beach, carries a large stock of HO, S and O Gauge
trains and collectibles for both the beginner and the expert
model train enthusiast.
ions that give women another
choice,” she said. “I work hard to
bring new things into the store
that I think my customers will
like.”
Lynne’s offers women clothing
in a variety of styles, ranging from
elegant evening wear to casual
cruise-wear to lingerie.
Ms. Mahoney said most of the
women that shop at Lynne’s have
their own sense of style and know
what they are looking for.
“I believe fashion is not about
rules, its about options, it is an
expression of ourselves,” Ms.
Mahoney said.
In addition to the variety of
clothing options Lynne’s offers —
which features tops enhanced
with Swarowski crystals — the
hometown shop offers its patrons
a high level of personal service.
One aspect of the superior personal service is the large dressing
room, which Ms. Mahoney said
allows women to have enough
space to feel comfortable while
trying on multiple garments.
“I do the running around for
them,” Ms. Mahoney said. “They
can just come in and relax in the
dressing room, I bring them the
clothes to them.”
She has gotten to know her
customers so well, there have even
been instances when former customers have called the shop and
asked Ms. Mahoney to pick out
some clothes and mail them to
her.
“I sent [a customer] 14 items
and she kept 11 of them,” she said
with a smile. “That personal serv-
ice is my focus here.”
Oftentimes, Ms. Mahoney said
a husband and wife duo will come
into the store. The wife will shop
for new clothes at Lynne’s, while
the husband will wander back to
The Train Room to do his own
shopping.
Once in The Train Room,
shoppers will encounter Mr.
Ferrie, who has been a model
train enthusiast since he was 10
years old.
“This has always been one of
the passions in my life,” he said. “I
have been to train stores all over
the country and when the chance
came to open my own, I took it.”
The Train Room features HO,
S and O Gauge trains and
scenery.
Mr. Ferrie said the items he
sells in his shop are perfect for
model train enthusiasts, no matter what level of collector they are.
“It tried to make it familyfriendly,” he said.
One aspect of The Train Room
that Mr. Ferrie said is imperative
to a model train store is the test
track.
In this area, shoppers can actually take the train they are considering purchasing and run it on a
small track to get a feel for its
movement and sounds.
“Trains today are so advanced,
with sounds and lights, giving the
customer the chance to try it out
before they buy it is very important,” Mr. Ferrie said.
Oftentimes, Mr. Ferrie said,
customers will spend hours
browsing through the two rooms
The Train Room occupies in the
rear of the building, just looking
for the perfect addition to their
model train collection.
For the more advanced collector, The Train Room prides itself
on finding hard-to-find items.
“If I don’t have it in stock, I will
try to get it in as soon as possible,”
Mr. Ferrie said.
Both Lynne’s and The Train
Room are open from 10 a.m. to 6
p.m. seven days a week and can be
reached by calling 732-899-4000.

Why aren’t people asking
“How much does a funeral cost?”
With recent Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ruling, it’s your
right as a consumer to be able to request by telephone or in
person all costs involved in making funeral arrangements.
Recently the Funeral Conglomerate* from Texas who owns
several funeral homes in New Jersey including one in
Southern Monmouth County raised their service charges
dramatically.
We conducted a survey to see how we matched up
against them. Our Funeral Home service charges for a
one day wake and funeral service with a hearse and one
limousine were $1870 less.
Our Service charges are reasonable, fair and affordable too.

My nighttime job and my duties as a landlord often require me to
be up and about in the wee hours of the morning, be it riding home
from work on my bicycle or cleaning a rental house for an inspection,
and I never cease to be impressed by the omnipresent Manasquan
Police officers who seem to be everywhere I look, protecting us while
most of us enjoy the comfort and security of our homes and beds. It
appears to me that if Manasquan’s Finest aren’t everywhere at each
and every minute of every day, it isn’t for a lack of trying.
Some may say that the police are merely doing what they get paid
to do. I say ‘thank you’ to Police Chief Scimeca and to each and every
member of the Manasquan Police Department for your dedication to
duty and for your efforts to keep us safe.
When civilian vigilance is essential to the survival of the Great
Republic as we know it, have any of the recent, vigilant critics been as
quick to say ‘thank you’ as they have been to cry ‘foul.’ Somehow, I
think not.

WALL NEEDS TO ESTABLISH VACANCY CONTROL ORDINANCE
Editor, The Coast Star:
Wall Township recently passed an ordinance regarding mobile
home parks. As reported recently in The Coast Star, “the ordinance
requires landlords of mobile home parks to file with the Rent Control
Board a written statement, signed by the vacating tenant, together
with an affidavit signed by the landlord certifying to the board that
the landlord has not in any way harassed or pressured the tenant into
vacating the mobile home space.” Presently, there are five mobile
home parks in Wall Township. Shore Acres, located on Atlantic
Avenue, is the only Senior Citizen Park. The residents of Shore Acres
applaud the Wall Township Committee for their actions. Hopefully,
this ordinance will help to curb the abuses of the elderly.

Recognized abuses in the provision of mobile home housing have
led to corrective legislation in many municipalities with large mobile
home park populations in New Jersey. This legislation has generally
ousted certain types of landlord abuses or placed constraints designed
to eliminate abusive practices.
Vacancy decontrol and unconscionable rent increases passed on to
new mobile home owners sets up a change in events that permits the
victimization of the elderly who make up a high percentage of the
mobile home population, the very same people for whom rent control
was enacted in the first place.
When the rent for a prospective buyer is set so high as to discourage the sale of a mobile home or that it requires a prolonged period of
time to sell, it is the homeowner who must bear the burden.
Meanwhile, these same owners are paying rent on a home that they
may be no longer living in because they have relocated for health or
safety reasons. At their age, they should not have to handle the stress
and pressure of paying rent on a mobile home sitting unoccupied. The
elderly owners become fearful that their home will never sell, putting
them in a position to willingly allow a landlord to purchase their
home at a price far below its market value. This is a common practice
among mobile home park owners.
In order to eliminate this type of abuse, a majority of towns have
introduced vacancy controls. The new ordinance, passed by Wall
Township, is a good first step in curbing abuses. However, Wall’s liberal Vacancy Decontrol ordinance, which allows landlords to determine rents for new tenants, has resulted in exorbitant rent increases.
In the past, Shore Acres had a 30 name waiting list. Since 2005, when
our new landlord increased the highest rent by 50 percent, owners
have had much difficulty selling their homes. An amendment to the
ordinance, which would place a cap on the new rent, would certainly
help this situation. We at Shore Acres are appealing to the Wall
Township Committee to amend ordinance 153-29 B and establish
some form of Vacancy Control.

GET INVOLVED IN APRIL 17 BOE ELECTION
Editor, The Coast Star:
Given $900,000 in state mandated expense increases for the
upcoming school year, four of the last five budgets defeated, the growing student population and last, but no less important, the higher
costs associated with the school’s addition, increased funding for
Brielle School seems necessary. However, given the $8,000,000 in
“variable” expenses, it is reasonable to think that cost savings can also
be realized.
The successful operation of a school is dependent upon an effective
working partnership between the public sector [the school] and the
private sector [the taxpayers]. Public sector funding comes through
the private sector [i.e. taxes], but the resource is limited and should

not be viewed as the sole answer to balancing a
budget. The success of the PTO and the Brielle
Education Foundation clearly demonstrates how
the public/private sectors can work together in
meeting the needs of the school.
Much like the school, businesses face the same
challenges in managing their budgets. The probudget argument for the school that relies on “it’s
for the children” or “protect your real estate values”
clouds the budget issues with emotion. The point
is, limited income for businesses and schools alike
dictate the need to operate efficiently and eliminate
emotional influences. Objectivity is a necessary tool
when balancing revenue with expenses.
The budget process includes all Brielle taxpayers
and we need to we work together for the mutual
benefit of the public and private sectors. Whether
you have, have had, will have or never have children
in Brielle School, we are all involved in its operation. As partners it is important to have a full
understanding of the school’s financial performance, budget, labor relations, contract negotiations,
etc., as information is a powerful tool. Our collective voices and opinions are critically important to
this process and the diversity it creates contributes
to the school’s success.
I urge all of you to be involved in the April 17
election where the school budget and its Board of
Education will be decided.

THANK YOU TO ST. ANDREW ’S METHODIST
CHURCH
Editor, The Coast Star:
A sincere thank you to all who brought together
a beautiful concert at St. Andrew’s United
Methodist Church in Spring Lake on Sunday, Feb.
18. Mary and Harry Eichorn organized and
worked together with the Atlantic Wind Ensemble
to perform a lovely concert. Our choir members
sang to a packed church and for the enjoyment of
all gathered. The talented members of the Atlantic
Wind Ensemble lifted our hearts with beautiful
songs and everyone had a terrific evening.
This memorial concert was dedicated to Dr. Fred
Eggers, who passed away last year. Dr. Eggers was
a family physician who treated many of us over the
years. What a wonderful man. He is missed by our
church, our choir, and our community. The Atlantic
Wind Ensemble played his favorite songs in a way
that would make him smile.
We want to thank Pastor Sandy Murphy for having all of us. We want to thank Mrs. Pat Kannar
and the entire Youth Group of St. Andrew’s who
prepared a wonderful buffet that followed the concert. All the food that was so delicious was shopped
for, prepared, and handmade by Mrs. Kannar and
the Youth Group teens. Everything was excellent
and there was not a thing left to wrap up afterwards.
This year’s concert meant the world to our family because the proceeds of the event were donated
to the Lukas Sutton Fund. Our brother-in-law and
sister-in-law, Bob and Brenda Sutton, lost their 21month-old baby Lukas, in October 2006, due to
bacterial meningitis. At the time of Luke’s passing,
the family was without insurance and they face
many medical and funeral expenses for Lukas.
Thanks to the kindness and compassion of our
community and our church, these bills are diminishing quickly. We want everyone to know each
dollar has made a big difference and we are well on
our way to succeeding in our efforts to relieve Bob
and Brenda of that awful financial burden.
In closing, I want to thank everyone in attendance for their kind words, their support, and their
hard work. We are all very lucky to live in a small,
close-knit community where people pull together
to help others.

WHAT ARE STANDARDIZED TESTS OUT TO
PROVE?
Editor, The Coast Star:
As we enter standardized testing month here in
New Jersey, I believe that we should take a look at
what these tests are and ask ourselves, are they actually benefiting our schools and students? Under the
No Child Left Behind [NCLB] Act, signed into
effect in 2001, students from grades three to eight
and grade 11 have been subjected to a growing
number of tests. The first in a long list of tests
occurring this March is the 11th grade HSPA’s
[High School Proficiency Assessment], testing proficiency in mathematics, science, and language arts
literacy. If a student meets all graduation requirements for their high school, but at the same time,
fails to meet HSPA requirements then they are not
eligible to graduate with their class. At this time
they are either required to partake in the Special
Review Assessment [SRA] to demonstrate HSPA
level knowledge or return the next year and retake
the HSPA. Who does this benefit, the student? No.
The school? No. Then what exactly are these tests
out to prove?
It then becomes the responsibility of the teacher
to focus their time on test-related material while all
other learning takes a backseat. The months leading
up to the tests, teachers have now switched from
their normal curriculum to that of old HSPA tests
trying to better prepare students so they can graduate from high school, although they may have
already met the prerequisites for graduation.
Advocates for standardized testing, may argue
that it is important to put more responsibility on
the teachers and students, but is standardized testing really the way to do this? Although the school
system may have done its job in preparing the
teachers, and the teachers may have done their job
preparing the students, there is no guarantee that
the students will not fail under the pressure to perform on these tests, leaving who to blame? I believe
that each school system should organize committees consisting of teachers, students, and administrators should be organized to find a creative solution to end the pressure put solely on students by
standardized testing. Standardized testing should
not be the absolute in our education system.

HELP CHILDREN OF BRIELLE REACH THEIR
POTENTIAL
Editor, The Coast Star:
I have lived in Brielle since 2001, as my wife and
I chose this community for a number of reasons.
We love the people, the recreational opportunities,
and the sense of community as well. The primary
reason for selecting Brielle was the quality of the
school system. As a father of four, I feel that the
education of our children is our greatest responsibility. After speaking with other parents in our
community, I sense that this is a common attitude.

I had an e-mail from a reader
who noticed my “diversification.” I think that he has
summed up what I have been
trying to put into words for the
past few years. His term has put
a nice label on how I like to look
at nutrition these days. As many
of you know, trying to make
changes in your diet and
lifestyle can be daunting.
Telling people where to make
the changes can be straightforward. What the client encounters in their attempt to make
the changes is the complicated
part. That is the part that I like
to work with now.
I have diversified my practice
to include multiple ways to help
a person achieve their nutrition,
health and emotional goals.
This doesn’t mean that the
process is an easy one. For those
encountering “roadblocks” to
change there is work to be done
to get past the roadblocks.
Once the work is done though,
the process to change is much
easier. Making lifestyle changes
and changes in one’s diet is easier when there isn’t baggage
attached.
So, how can you tell if you
have baggage or have hit a roadblock? Let’s take a look at
weight loss. Here it is, almost
spring. This is the time of year
when many people look in the
mirror and cringe at the
thought of putting on a bathing
suit. Is it just winter weight that
you are carrying around or is
weight a perpetual issue for
you? If weight is a perpetual
issue chances are you are carrying around more than some
extra fat. Do you have habits
that you would like to change
but you just can’t seem to make
the changes you need? Perhaps
you have hit a roadblock. Do
you feel like you have a choice
in the matter? If not there are
issues there.
There are many, many reasons for why people can’t or
won’t change: way too many to

the position. I wanted to ensure that the children of Brielle were getting the best education possible with the allotted resources. It has
been a great learning experience, as six of the nine board members
have been replaced in the last six months. This new board is a cohesive group that is working together and reaching out to the community to ensure that we are providing the children of this town the education that they deserve.
The annual school budget dictates the opportunities we can provide
or not provide for the children. Justifiably, there is a great concern for
the budget that is being presented this year. The board of education
has been restricted by the new state laws and mandates, in regard to
attempt to cover in this column.
I would like to talk some more
about the concept of choice,
though. Let’s revisit the weight
loss issue again. You think you
really want to lose weight before
donning that bathing suit. Do
you view the changes you will
make as a choice? If not, consider the following. You really
do have a choice. You can
choose not to change what you
are doing and remain at the
same weight. You can choose to
make some changes and not
others. It really is all up to you.
Even if your doctor tells you
that you must lose weight, you
still have a choice. Once you
stop viewing it as a choice what
happens? We become resentful
and petulant. “What? I can’t
have a piece of cake?” What do
you want most now? A piece of
cake! You do have a choice! The
next time you are considering
making a change, ask yourself
why you are making it. Do you
want to make the change?
LYNN O’HARA
M.S., R.D., LPC
Perhaps not. Is it in your best
interest? Maybe, maybe not. Do
you have a choice? Yes! Tell
yourself that you have a choice
and do what you want! If you
really don’t want to make
changes in your diet you won’t.
Once you accept the fact that
you have a choice, things
become much easier.
There you have it. A diversified view of nutrition counseling. [Thanks, Mike!] Until next
time, eat healthy, be happy!

expenses required to run the school.
There was a great turnout for the board of education meeting on
Feb. 28. At this meeting, the board answered questions and concerns
of the community about the budget. Hopefully, the board was able to
answer all of the questions in a satisfactory manner. Since some members of the community were unable to attend, we do realize that people do have more questions for us. We will be holding a series of these
meetings with the goal of informing and educating everyone in the
community, and a schedule of these meetings will be released. They
will be at different venues and times, as we have attempted to accommodate the schedules of each individual in the community. Please join
us for at least one of the presentations.
The meeting on Feb. 28 illustrated the dedication that the people
of Brielle have for the school. It is this dedication and interest that
will make our school great. I would like to thank everyone involved in
this process.
It is the education that a child receives that opens or closes doors
for that child in the future. Help us provide the children of Brielle the
opportunity to reach their personal potential.
The children and our school ask for your informed vote in April.

While cork has remained
the stopper of choice for
wine bottles for centuries,
this natural material has its
limitations. To begin with, up
to one in every dozen bottles may be “corked,”
which means that a leaky
(or defective) cork has
allowed sufficient bacteria
or oxygen to enter the bottle and spoil the wine. In
addition, many people find
removing the cork from
bottles to be both challenging and time-consuming. Various synthetic materials have been developed
as cork substitutes, but airleakage and off-taste have
remained problems. All this
has led to screw-type caps,
which are increasingly
being adopted by wineries.
Screw tops may have been
associated with inexpensive wines in the past, however, top-quality wines are
now also wearing screw
tops.

SPORTS TALK
It is the toughest interview in
high school sports. It comes
after the final game of the season
when the local team has been
vanquished.
The seniors are trying to come
to grips with dashed expectations, while saying goodbye to
teammates and friends.
Given the choice, few would
want to talk about the possible
frustrations and the maelstrom of
feelings that are bubbling near
the surface.
It says a lot about a senior’s
character when they can communicate in such a time of teenage
crisis.
How many teenagers would
like to speak to a stranger about
the details of a breakup with a
boyfriend, or why they are bringing home a poor report card?
The same range of emotions
are probably felt minutes after
their season and career in a particular sport comes to an end.
Yet, for those who get the
honor of wearing the ‘C’ that represents captain of the team, it is
one of the responsibilities and
duties to speak for the team after
its toughest losses.
As a sportswriter, I refer to
those losses as captains’ games.
I figure they will best represent
the team in good times and in
bad.
St. Rose
senior
captains
Megan Cotta and Lauren Crehan
could not have done a better job
of showing the character and
class of the Purple Roses’ program than they did following
their team getting eliminated
from the state tournament by
Cardinal McCarrick on Friday.
It should come as no surprise,
since Cotta and Crehan were
willing to talk after other tough
losses during the season.
Friday was the final game for
the two seniors, however, but
nothing changed.
Cotta and Crehan handled the
moment better than some professionals.
The two St. Rose teammates
could have been an example for
pros who hide from the glare of
the media spotlight when things
go bad.
The tears had not dried when
the two Purple Rose seniors
offered succinct, well-thoughtout answers, highlighting their
disappointment, but at the same
time giving credit to their opponents.
You could say Cotta and
Crehan were more than willing to
take one for the team.
Cotta especially was a perfect
example of a player putting the
team first. At the beginning of
the season she was a starter, but
accepted her role off the bench
midway through the season.
Instead of sulking over a loss of
playing time, Cotta cheered for
teammates, studied the flow of
the game, and became an instant
spark when she got on the floor.
Cotta’s 3-point shooting
seemed to improve after she
started coming off the bench.
“They are both exceptional,’’
said St. Rose coach Joe Roman of
his two seniors. “You can only
hope as a coach when you get 25
freshmen in a room for your first

An excited official registers Drew Doyle’s pin over Paulsboro’s Demetrius Hester in the two wrestlers’
pre-quarterfinal heavyweight bout at the NJSIAA Individual State Wrestling Tournament this weekend at
Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. The pin was the tournament’s biggest upset as the Wall senior was unseeded, and Hester was a state runner-up the year before. Doyle went on to place second in the state.
Doyle grabs second
Pins Hester in huge state upset
By Ray McCarthy
ATLANTIC CITY — Drew
Doyle was Cinderella all weekend,
but the Wall senior heavyweight
wasn’t wearing any dresses or glass
slippers.
Doyle became one of the most
popular wrestlers in this past weekend’s NJSIAA Individual State
Wrestling Tournament at Boardwalk
Hall in Atlantic City when he delivered a resounding upset to
Paulsboro’s Demetrius Hester in the
pre-quarterfinal round.
After Hester scored a quick takedown to take a 2-0 lead, Doyle executed an improvised wrist-roll switch
— or what he called a “fat man’s roll”
— to catch Hester and put him to
his back.
The official missed several opportunities to call the pin, but Doyle’s
tight lock earned him the 1:10 fall
over Hester, one of the most vaunted
wrestlers in New Jersey.
“It was pretty big,” Doyle said
mildly. “It was a great feeling.”
Though he entered the elite tour-

nament unseeded, Doyle electrified a
record Friday crowd of 10,024 and
instantly became the tournament’s
unsung hero.
His pin over Hester — a state runner-up in last year’s tournament —
not only advanced him through the
tournament but exorcised any
demons left over from the two combatants’ first meeting this season.
“That’s big payback, big redemption,” Doyle said. “I was waiting for
that match. Hearing the whole place
erupt was awesome.”
On Dec. 28, Doyle and Hester
met in the finals of the Brick
Memorial Mustang Classic. After
opening up a 3-2 lead through two
periods, Doyle made a mistake and
was caught by Hester, who eventually pinned him in 3:18.
“Friday made him a Cinderella,”
Wall coach Jay Nase said. “He’s a
great kid, and he has a lot of fans in
Region VI. So many people want to
see him do well just for being him.”
Doyle’s shocker over Hester propelled him through the state’s best
wrestlers.
The 285-pound senior followed
with a hard-fought 7-4 decision over
Columbia’s Bradley McLaren in the
quarterfinals.
Awaiting Doyle in the semifinals
was a matchup with Morris Knolls’
Zac Walsh, which Doyle said was his
most nerve-wracking match.
After a scoreless first period,
Walsh chose bottom and reversed
Doyle for a 2-0 lead. Doyle, however, countered with a well-executed
Peterson roll to take a 4-2 lead.
Walsh reversed Doyle again to end
the second period in 4-4 tie.

BELMAR — In a dazzling array of
monster dunks, short jumpers and easy
lay-ins, St. Rose senior center Anthony
Ranaudo took control of the Purple
Roses’ offense in a home game against St.
Peter the Apostle
on Friday.

the
Cardinals 38 spearheaded
fourth-seeded
STATE SECTIONALS Roses to a 63-38
win over fifth-seeded St. Peter’s in the first round of the B
South state sectional tournament.
The win propelled St. Rose to a second-round match-up with Gloucester
Catholic on Monday [see related story].
An early 14-6 lead midway through the
first quarter prefaced a rout in which the
Roses completely dominated the
Cardinals behind the unstoppable ability
of Ranaudo.
“Our bread-and-butter is our half-court
offense, and we were successful getting
the ball to Anthony,” said St. Rose coach
Dennis Devaney.
Ranaudo was the only St. Rose player
to score in double digits, and he accounted for over half of the Roses’ 63 points.
Among the senior’s baskets was a fullforce baseline drive in the third quarter
that was capped off by a huge monster
jam in the faces of two St. Peter’s defend-
ers.
Contributing to St. Rose’s win were
junior guard Brian Poppert and sophomore Sean McPaul. Poppert had eight
points while McPaul scored six.
Poppert scored the game’s first points
when he sank a fast-break lay-in off the
opening tip. He added a steal just seconds
later and followed his defensive effort
with a short jumper to make it 8-2.
“Brian had a very good game early on,”
Devaney said of Poppert, who scored six
of his points in the game’s first two minutes. “He scored some points and got us
going.”
Despite Poppert stepping it up,
Devaney was concerned with his team’s
play early in the game. In particular, St.
Peter’s zone defense prevented the Roses
from getting Ranaudo the ball.
“We looked out of sync,” Devaney said.
“Our shooters have to shoot, and our
defenders have to defend. We went four
minutes without getting Anthony the
ball.”
Simply put, St. Rose’s success depends
solely on the production of Ranaudo.
Though they won easily, Devaney’s concerns lie with his team’s ability to get
Ranaudo the ball against better teams.
Any St. Rose shortcomings went unnoticed against a sub-par St. Peter’s team

Wall celebrates a goal earlier in the season, but the Crimson Knights could only celebrate a Tim Margadonna
goal against Ramapo, despite taking 37 shots on goal in their 4-1 state tournament loss to the Raiders Monday.
By Len Bardsley
MONSEY, N.Y. — You could call it the
rope-a-dope strategy.
Like Muhammad Ali in his title fight
with George Foreman, the Ramapo
Raiders played ropeICE HOCKEY

state
tournament
Monday at Sport-O-Rama in Monsey,
N.Y.
The Spartans almost seemed to want the
Crimson Knights to wear themselves out,
taking their best shots on goal before striking with quick counter punches.
Ramapo survived everything Wall could
throw its way and escaped with a 4-1 victory that was a lot closer than the score would
indicate.
The loss ends the Crimson Knights’ season with a record of 18-7-2.
Wall dominated the eighth-seeded
Raiders for large portions of the game, outshooting the hosts 37-22.
The game came down to the few inches
the puck seemed to slide wide of the net on
nearly a dozen occasions for the Crimson
Knights and a half second at the end of the
second period.
Wall had played one of its best periods of
the season and had the Raiders on the
ropes with the game tied 1-1 in the final
moments of the second period.
As the clock wound down, Wall was
scrambling for a loose puck at center ice
when Ramapo forward Rob Sorrenti
slipped to the far wing unnoticed by any
Crimson Knights defender.
Zander Pindyck picked up the loose
puck and sent a pass to Sorrenti who broke
in alone on Wall goalie Eric Stohrer.
Sorrenti fired a perfect shot just inside the

A wrestling season is separated
into two parts, both equally as
important.
Consistently one of the Shore
Conference’s best programs, Wall
wrestling enjoyed its fair share of
success in
WALL WRESTLING
the
team
WRAP
aspect of the
season and in the individual
tournaments that bring the year
to a close.
Wall’s season as a team can be
defined by the agonizing closecall losses that they endured at
the hands of the state’s best
teams.
On the season, the Knights
lost seven excruciating matches
that came down to the last bout.
“We’re always in a battle,” said
Wall coach Jay Nase. “We were
in every match with great teams,
and that is a testament to the
boys and how hard they work.”
Among the Knights’ close calls
was a nail-biter with Raritan on
Jan. 10 that had a rarely-seen
ending.
In the match’s last bout,
Raritan
135-pounder
Bill
Voutsinas major decisioned
Wall’s Anthony Cappiello 13-4
to even up the match 28-28.
A tie-breaking list of criteria
was examined, and it was determined that Wall lost the team
match based on the seventh criteria — most near-fall points
scored.
The loss would eventually hurt
the Knights as Raritan’s win
earned them the No. 1 seed in
the
Shore
Conference
Tournament and played host to
Wall on Jan. 24.
Behind a raucous home crowd,
Raritan, once again, edged out
Wall when Bob Hornacek decisioned Wall freshman Brad
Woszczak 8-3 at 152 in the
night’s final bout.
The 32-27 win advanced
Raritan
to
the
Shore
Conference’s Final Four, a position Nase desperately wanted his
team to be.
“If I could have any match
back, it would be the Raritan
match,” Nase said. “I wanted
these guys to experience
wrestling in the Final Four in
front of a huge crowd. I wanted
them to be among the best
teams.”
Other close calls for the
Knights included another match
decided by tie-breaking criteria
against Lenape Valley on Feb. 3.
Wall lost that match based on
the first criteria — most bouts
won.
The match against Lenape
was part of a tri-meet in which
Wall lost yet another match
decided by the last bout.

Wall 140-pounder Blaine Woszczak [right] discusses strategy
with Wall wrestling head coach Jay Nase [center] and assistant
coach Dave Bender before a crowd of thousands at this past
weekend’s NJSIAA Individual State Wrestling Tournament held
at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.
Wall 171-pounder Matt
Buckley bumped up 20 pounds
to 189 and was narrowly decisioned by Howell’s Harry Tucker
to give the Rebels a 29-27 victory.
“That’s wrestling,” Nase said.
“We were on the bubble for the
top 20 teams in the state, but a
break here and there, and we
were top 20.”
Wall lost its season-opening
match to Long Branch when
Wall senior 189-pounder Dan
Savastano only managed a 5-3
decision in the final bout as the
Knights fell 30-28.
With a win there, Wall would
have eventually owned the B
North divisional title, but a stunning 42-27 upset over Ocean
Township on Jan. 17 earned the
Knights a share of the B North
divisional title with Ocean and
Long Branch.
In addition to their divisional
title, the Knights reached the
Central Group III finals where
Ocean exacted revenge with a
40-23 victory.
Team wrestling behind them,
Wall looked at the season-ending
District 23 tournament, Region
VI tournament, and NJSIAA
Individual State Wrestling
Tournament as chances for
redemption.
“It’s all practice for the postseason,” Nase said of the regular
team season. “Our best wrestling
comes at the end of the year. We
peak at the right time.”
Nase was accurate as three of
Wall’s finest won District 23
titles.
Blaine
Woszczak
(140)
became the only four-time
District 23 champion in school
history and was named the tournament’s Most Outstanding
Wrestler.
Not to be outdone, Wall senior
125-pounder Ryan Wilson
became a three-time District 23
champion and Wall heavyweight
Drew Doyle became a two-time
District 23 champion.
Sophomore
Frank
Labrusciano (112), junior Jeff
Seidel (119), and senior Anthony
Cappiello (135) all finished second in the district tournament
for the Knights.
Wall sophomore 130-pounder
Mike Tancredi wrestled back to
place third.
All seven placers earned bids
to the elite Region VI tournament.
Both Woszczak and Doyle lost
in the semifinals, but each wrestled back to finish third in the
region.
Tancredi proved a worthy
underclassman as he wrestled his
way to the third-place bout
where he lost 11-0 to Christian
Brothers Academy’s James
Beshada.
Beshada was a state runner-up
this year.
Wilson also finished fourth
when he was majored by
Howell’s Cody Fobes in their
third-place bout.
Fobes was also an eventual
state runner-up.
Labrusciano and Seidel finished fifth in the tournament
while Cappiello finished sixth.
By way of their top-three finishes, Woszczak and Doyle
earned trips to the ultra-tough
NJSIAA
Individual
State
Wrestling Tournament [see
story] held this past weekend at
Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.
Doyle became the tournament’s Cinderella when he upset
last year’s state runner-up,
Paulsboro
heavyweight
Demetrius Hester, in the prequarterfinal round with a stunning pin in 1:10.
He continued his march
through the tournament all the
way to the state championship
final where he was narrowly decisioned 4-3 by last year’s champion, Hopatcong’s Zack Rey.
Woszczak wrestled a grueling
seven matches en route to a fifthplace consolation bout that he
lost to Northern Highlands’
Derek Steuben.
The runner-up finish for
Doyle and sixth-place finish for
Woszczak are the best state finishes in the same year for Wall
wrestlers since Nick Roy and
Andy Roy finished second and
third at 152 and 171, respectively, in 2000.
“I’ve developed a great relationship with these guys,” Nase
said of Doyle and Woszczak.
“They’re great. They’re two warriors who have combined for over
200 bouts won and six district
titles.”
In addition to Doyle and
Woszczak, Nase will lose
Wilson, Cappiello, Dave Janssen
(160), and Savastano to graduation.
Key returners for the Knights
will include Nick Delisa (103),
Labrusciano, Seidel, Tancredi,
Brad Woszczak (145), and Matt
Buckley (171).
“We won’t have that senior
depth, but we get guys returning
with experience,” Nase said. “We
have kids that have that commitment to training.”

Plenty of highlights, lots of promise for St. Rose girls
By Len Bardsley
The St. Rose girls’ season
ended on Friday against a tough
Cardinal McCarrick team, but
the Purple Roses’ season had to
be looked upon as a success.
St. Rose finished the season
with a record of 19-5, which
included an impressive win
against St. John Vianney and a
ranking in the top 10 in the
Shore Conference for the majority of the season.
Purple
Roses
coach Joe
R o m a n
GIRLS HOOPS
admitted he
was disapNOTEBOOK
pointed
with getting eliminated in the
state tournament in the first
round, but he was excited to see
the progress his young team
made.
“I think there was a disappointment from the standpoint
of the way the season ended,’’
said Roman. “That is the third
year in a row we didn’t get past
the first round.’’
What makes things promising
for the Purple Roses is the fact
that for much of the game
against the Eagles, St. Rose did
not have a single senior on the
floor.
“I enjoyed watching them
grow,’’ said Roman of his young
team. “Hopefully they can build
on the experience they gained
this season. It is a great group of
kids coming back. I am looking
forward to it.’’
The Purple Roses will lose
two seniors to graduation in
Megan Cotta and Lauren
Crehan.
Cotta and Crehan provided
excellent leadership on and off
the court for St. Rose during the
season.
Cotta was one of the Purple
Roses’ best outside shooters and
often provided clutch 3-pointers,
while Crehan was always in the
middle of a St. Rose offensive
run with a drive to the basket or
a big assist.
St. Rose cruised to the regular
season B Central Division title
with a perfect 12-0 league
LAUREN PARKER, The Coast Star
Gia Russo will be one of several talented sophomores returning for St. Rose next season. Russo helped lead the Purple
Roses to 19 victories this season.
record.
The highlight of the season
was the victory over the Lancers.
The win was the first for the
Purple Roses over St. John
Vianney since 1993.
The Purple Roses used an
intense defensive effort and a
balanced scoring attack. Crehan
had 14 points, Cotta had 11 and
Janine Mullin had 10 points in
the milestone victory.
The Purple Roses also put
together an impressive win
against rival Manasquan, 53-34.
St. Rose will have a big soph-
omore class returning next season, as well as two seniors who
played big roles.
Mullin, one of the top shooters from this season, will return
as well as center Kelly Clark.
Clark had several outstanding
games, including the final game
of the season when she scored 29
points and pulled down 12
rebounds.
Clark was the most consistent
offensive leader of the Purple
Roses, but St. Rose got plenty of
contributions throughout the
season.
The Purple Roses had a trio of
sophomores in Taylor Shanley,
Kelsey Burke and Mary
Hagaman, who provided a spark
at both ends of the floor.
Shanley and Burke often ran
the St. Rose offense from the
point guard position and provided excellent defense with their
speed.
Hagaman was often the
Purple Roses’ defensive specialist
off the bench, providing key
rebounds, or guarding an opponent’s top offensive threat.
Gia Russo was another sophomore who played a huge role in
the St. Rose success during the
season. One of the strongest
players on the team, Russo displayed some solid rebounding
skills and was never afraid to
drive to the basket in traffic to
draw fouls or make a tough shot.
Roman is excited to have one
of the deepest sophomore classes
in recent memory.
“They all do something different,’’ said Roman of his sophomores. “Leslie Kowal has size,
Mary will defend and rebound,
Kelsey can ignite a team with her
energy, T.J. is a heady point
guard, Gia can score from the
blocks or hit a three. It is a fun
group.’’
Roman was also pleased with
the progress and potential next
season of freshmen Alex Hall
and Alison Sweeney.
“We have a lot of experience
coming back,’’ said Roman. “We
will still be young because we
will only have two seniors. I
expect them to be even better
next year.’’
Cotta feels the Purple Roses
should return stronger next season as well.
“It is always hard as a senior to
leave,’’ said Cotta. “I love this
team so much. It is great to know
that there are so many kids coming back and next year they are
going to have a great team. They
are going to work so hard. They
are a bunch of hard workers and
we have a great coaching staff. It
should be a great year for them
next year.’’

state tournament game against Cardinal
McCarrick Friday at South
Amboy.
It seemed no matter what St.
Rose did against the Eagles,
sophomore point guard Chrissy
Keir had an answer.
Keir left the Purple Roses
questioning what else they could
have done in a 52-47 defeat.
The loss ends the St. Rose
season with a mark of 19-5.
The Purple Roses went toeto-toe with Cardinal McCarrick,
but the play of Keir always
seemed to have the Eagles one
step ahead of St. Rose.
The Purple Roses were carried
by junior center Kelly Clark, who
had one of her best games of the
season.
Clark produced 29 points,
shooting 12-for-16 from the
field, while converting five out of
six foul shots and pulling down
12 rebounds.
Clark dominated her counterpart, 6-foot-2 junior center Patty
Langan, but that matchup was
offset by Keir.
“Kelly had a phenomenal
game,’’ said St. Rose coach Joe
Roman. “That is what we needed from her. Our kids’ effort was
great. It was a couple of possessions here and there.’’
The Eagles took an early 6-0
lead with four of their points
coming off steals. The Purple
Roses seemed to be in comeback
mode for the rest of the game.
Gia Russo hit a jumper and
Clark hit the first of her many
points off a feed from Russo
under the basket.
Cardinal McCarrick converted two traditional three-point
plays to push the lead to 11-4.
The Purple Roses would never
allow the Eagles to push the lead
beyond nine points the entire
game, scratching and clawing
their way back into the game on
numerous occasions.
“It was a tough game,’’ said St.
Rose senior Meg Cotta. “We
were down, we came back, we
lost it and came back again.
There is only so much coming
back you can do.’’
The Purple Roses displayed
their fighting spirit at the end of
the first quarter to cut the
Eagles’ lead to one.
Sophomore guard Kelsey
Burke gave a perfect feed to
Clark under the basket, before a
Cotta steal led to a fastbreak by
Burke.
Clark tied the game 11-11
when she drove to the basket and
was fouled, ending an impressive
7-0 run for the Purple Roses.
Keir drove and kicked out a
pass to Kristen Babulak, who
sank a 3-pointer, before Burke
found Clark with a perfect feed
at the buzzer to bring the score

St. Rose senior forward Justin Howlett [with the ball] drives on a Keansburg player in the first
round of the Shore Conference Tournament on Jan. 16. Howlett is just one of several seniors
departing after the Roses’ loss to Gloucester Catholic on Monday.
St. Rose coach, players reflect
on season of improvement
By Ray McCarthy
Dejection is a contagious virus
that seeps its way into a team just
as easily as confidence does.
After the Roses finished a disappointing fifth in the WOBM
Christmas
BOYS HOOPS
Classic,
NOTEBOOK
including an
upset at the
hands of crosstown rival Wall,
St. Rose dropped two straight to
Southern Regional and Asbury
Park.
Staring at the wrong end of a
two-game losing streak and a
disappointing 4-5 start to their
season, the St. Rose boys basketball team was dejected.
“We didn’t feel like coming to
practice, we didn’t feel like playing. It was a bad situation,” St.
Rose senior forward Justin
Howlett said.
A desperately needed win over
Keansburg on Jan. 4 not only
righted the ship but sparked one
of the best tears the Shore
Conference saw this winter season.
The Roses followed their
Keansburg win with a 68-62
upset over a vaunted St. John
Vianney team on Jan. 6.
A five-game win streak was
capped off with another 66-58
upset over Red Bank Catholic on
the road.
A loss to Shore Regional on
Jan. 15 did little to set the Roses
back as they continued their
march through the Shore.

of a 61-54 upset over division foe
Asbury on Jan. 25 followed by
another road 61-53 upset over
Monsignor Donovan on Jan. 27.
The win over Donovan was
especially satisfying for the St.
Rose seniors.
“We hadn’t beaten them in
two years, and the place was
going crazy,” senior guard Bill
Kelly said. “That’s my favorite
memory. I’ll always remember
that game.”
Those back-to-back upsets
prefaced an eight-game win
streak that was capped off with a
59-45 win over cross-town rival
Manasquan on Feb. 10.
The win over Squan was the
Roses’ 13th victory in their last
14 games.
Dejection had been replaced
by confidence.
“That streak is why I love
playing basketball,” Howlett
said. “All of a sudden, it just
clicked, and we were playing well
offensively and defensively. We
beat a lot of good teams, and it
was a lot of fun beating teams
like that.”
As opposed to the beginning
of the season, the Roses were not
making mistakes and were able
to produce on offense behind the
unmatched ability of senior center Anthony Ranaudo.
The 6'7" big man’s numbers
are mind-boggling.
On the year, Ranaudo averaged more than 20 points per
game.
He scored 20 or more points
in 18 of 27 games played this
season.
He scored 30 or more in four
games, including a season-high
36 points against St. Peter’s on
Friday.
“We cut down on our bad
plays. We cut down a lot on
turnovers, and everybody got
more comfortable because they
knew we were better than our
record,” said St. Rose coach
Dennis Devaney. “Our percentage went up a lot. We were
shooting 32 percent in the
beginning, and now we’re shooting 41 percent.”
The Roses entered the Shore
Conference Tournament as a No.
10 seed and cruised past
Keansburg 70-39 in the first
round.
A last-second 3-point attempt
from senior guard Bill Fay came
up just short against Brick
Township as the Roses fell 55-52
in the second round.
Another chance at postseason
redemption presented itself
when St. Rose won convincingly
over St. Peter’s [see story] in the
first round of the Non-Public B
South state sectional tournament.
Despite the win over St.
Peter’s, the Roses’ season ended
on Monday when they fell to a
very strong Gloucester Catholic
team in the quarterfinals [see
story].
St. Rose finished the season
19-8.
For Devaney, the loss will
mean a year of wondering what
could have been.
“The worst day of my life is
tonight,” he said of the loss. “The
best day of my life is the day after
Thanksgiving. The bad taste
stays until next year.”
Devaney will be losing the
likes of Ranaudo, Fay, Kelly,
Howlett, and guard Stephen
Lorenzo to graduation.
The 20-year coach was particularly fond of his seniors’ accomplishments both on and off the
court.
“They’re classy people,”
Devaney said. “I never had to
worry about hearing from the
discipline office or if they were
getting in trouble. They’re just a
great group of kids.”
The seniors reflected on their
time as St. Rose basketball players.
“It’s been fun,” Kelly said. “I
made a lot of great friends. It’s
disappointing, but it’s got to end
sometime.”
“Coach said it was a tough
game, but that he’s proud of all
us seniors,” Howlett said. “We’ve
come a long way since the beginning of the season.”
Considering their 12-15
record last year, Devaney is
proud of the improvement his
team made this season, regardless of their early exit in the postseason.
“Only one team wins their last
game of the year,” Devaney said.
“We’ll be back.”

a No. 4 seed this year while
Gloucester’s 22-5 mark made
them the top seed.
An easy win over St. Peter’s in
the first round pitted St. Rose
against Gloucester in the quarterfinals after the Rams cruised
past Timothy Christian in the
first round.
The two teams have a history
of big showdowns in the state
tournament.
Last year, the seventh-seeded
Roses were ousted from the state
tournament in the first round
after they suffered a last-minute
36-35 loss to the second-seeded
Rams.
Redemption will have to wait
another year as the Roses’ season
ended with a 61-50 loss from the
hot-shooting hands of a far
superior Gloucester Catholic
team.
Despite never-ending jeers
from a jam-packed, raucous
Gloucester crowd, the Roses
opened up the game with seamless defense, proficient offense,
and an electrifying 12-2 run.
Seniors Bill Fay, Billy Kelly,
and Anthony Ranaudo were able
to thread Gloucester’s man-toman defense and combine for all
12 points in the run.
Though scoring was easy for
St. Rose during their tear,
Gloucester soon clamped down
with an impenetrable zone
defense and roared back to close
out the first quarter.
“This is the epitome of a
team,” St. Rose basketball coach
Dennis Devaney said of
Gloucester Catholic. “They can
drive, they can shoot, and they

Peter’s in the first round of the Non-Public B South state sectional tournament on Friday. Kelly had 14 points against
Gloucester Catholic in the Roses’ quarterfinal game on Monday.
can handle the ball.”
Devaney’s sentiments were
confirmed when the Rams
responded to the Roses’ run with
their own incomprehensible 182 run.
Gloucester’s rally was propelled by a defense that forced
three St. Rose turnovers which
eventually led to nine points.
Costly St. Rose fouls gave
Gloucester two, three-point
plays. The Rams added two
wide-open three pointers to
string together four three-point
plays in just five possessions.
The blitz fired up what was an
already deafening crowd.
“They pressured us a lot,” senior forward Justin Howlett said
of the Gloucester run. “They
played man first but went to
zone, and they were able to force
turnovers and score off them.”
By clogging up the middle,
Gloucester was able to prevent
St. Rose guards from getting
Ranaudo the ball and using him
as an offensive weapon.
“Against a [man-to-man]
defense, Anthony can use his size
and establish position on a guy,”
Howlett said. “A zone [defense]
collapses the middle, and we
can’t get the ball to him.”
The Roses fought back
valiantly with timely free-throw
shooting.
Ranaudo stepped up with six
points from an easy lay-in and a
4-for-4 performance from the
line in the closing minutes of the
first half. Ranaudo tied
Gloucester’s Mike Calzonetti
with a game-high 21 points.
Kelly iced the Roses’ rally with
a buzzer-beating three-pointer
that cut Gloucester’s lead to 24-
23 at the half.
“They’re big, they’re strong,
and they’re athletic,” said Kelly,
who finished the game with 14
points. “They had momentum.
[The crowd] gives them hometeam advantage.”
In an attempt to thwart
Gloucester’s defense, St. Rose
resorted to an up-tempo transition offense in the third quarter
that resulted in costly turnovers.
Five St. Rose turnovers, three
of which were very poor passes,
resulted in nine crippling
Gloucester points.
Before they knew it, St. Rose
had fallen victim to a 13-2
Gloucester run to start the third
and trailed 37-25.
The two teams traded baskets
for several possessions until Kelly
hit another buzzer-beating three
to close out the third with the
Roses still trailing 43-33.
Kelly added his third threepointer midway through the
fourth quarter to cut St. Rose’s
deficit to 53-44.
It was the closest the Roses
would come to the Rams as
Gloucester cruised the rest of the
way.
As an indication of their
depth, Gloucester finished the
game with three scorers in double digits.
“They have a lot of guys who
could score and play defense. It’s
tough to play a team that deep,”
Howlett said.
Afterward, Devaney spoke to
his dejected team and offered
words of encouragement on the
season.
“It’s a tradition to express my
compliments to the seniors on
what they’ve accomplished,”
Devaney said. “I’ll be losing
seven seniors, and all of them are
class acts.”

Buzzer-beater from half-court lifts Academy in states

51 ior had just
STATE SECTIONALS sunk a halfc o u r t
buzzer-beater to keep his team’s
season alive and advance them to
the semifinals of the Central
Group I state sectional tournament.
With his team trailing 51-50
and only two seconds remaining
in the game, the soft-spoken allstar intercepted a Florence
Township in-bound, dribbled
once, and launched a game-win-
ner from just before half-court to
send the home crowd into an
uncontrollable frenzy as they
stormed the court and wildly
embraced Innocent.
“It felt incredible,” Innocent
said of the shot that earned his
team their 53-51 win. “I’ve hit
buzzer-beaters before but never
to advance in states. The whole
season was on the line.”
The game, which was held at
Manasquan High School due to
seating
constraints
with
Academy Charter’s small Lake
Como gym, was just one example of a perseverance that the
Panthers have shown throughout
the season.
“The guys persevered. They’ve
been through it all, and I just
told them to stay in the game,”
said Academy Charter coach
Shawn Heeter. “That’s just the
nature of these kids. It’s how
they are.”
Innocent’s
game-winning
bomb was made more significant
by the fact that Academy had
surrendered a sizeable lead with
less-than-stellar ball control and
poor rebounding.
A 24-20 Academy lead at
halftime was soon slimmed to
35-34 heading into the fourth
quarter by strong, aggressive play
from Florence.
With momentum ebbing in
their direction, Florence took
advantage of Academy Charter
turnovers and opened up a 46-39
lead midway through the fourth.
“We weren’t getting the loose
balls,” Heeter said. “We weren’t
rebounding off the offensive
glass, and they out-hustled us.”
Aside
from
Innocent,
Academy forward Ashzon Artis
made his impact felt with clutch
shooting coming down the
stretch.
In response to Florence’s
seven-point lead, Artis pulled off
a tough off-balance baseline
hook-shot and was fouled on the
play.
He coolly sank the free throw
and put a much-needed damper
on Florence’s momentum.
Florence then missed in their

to 14-13 at the end of the first
half.
“Kelsey gave us a big lift in the
first half,’’ said Roman. “She
plays with so much energy out
there. She did a great job of
keeping their point guard in
front of her. She was also scoring
and getting assists for us too.’’
The momentum, once again,
swung in Cardinal McCarrick’s
favor at the start of the second
quarter after the Purple Roses
had made their surge.
Keir hit a 3-pointer to start the
second quarter, before Jessica
Pruiti hit a 3-pointer to give the
Eagles a 20-13 lead.
Keir found Langan under the
basket and Cardinal McCarrick
had a 22-13 advantage.
The Purple Roses once again
found a way to climb back into
the game before halftime.
Clark scored on a putback, the
Purple Rose defense forced two
turnovers and Cotta hit a 3pointer, before Clark converted
two foul shots to cut the
Cardinal McCarrick advantage
to 24-22.
The Eagles made a free throw
just before the half, to gain a 2522 lead at the break.
“We were all pumped up,’’ said
Cotta at halftime. “Coach gave
us a great pump-up speech at
halftime. We all came out ready
to play and ready to do what we
had to do. Unfortunately, we
came up short.’’
Clark scored on another
comeback and Russo hit a
jumper to give St. Rose its only
lead of the game at 28-27 with
6:10 left in the third quarter.
Keir would push the Eagles
back into the lead when she
drove
and
fed
Lauren
Zarantonello under the basket,
before Zarantonello hit a jumper
to give Cardinal McCarrick a
31-28 lead.
“She [Keir] beat us off the
dribble a lot,’’ said Roman. “They
made some easy buckets off her
dribble penetration.’’
A Clark hook and another
basket off a Lauren Crehan feed
cut the Eagles lead to 35-34 with
3:10 left in the third quarter, but
once again the Eagles got a little
breathing room, as Keir found
the open shooter twice to push
the Eagles’ lead to 41-34.
“You have to give her [Keir]
credit,’’ said Crehan. “She is a
great guard, she distributed the
ball great. We tried to put it all
out there and we left everything
on the court. We just came up
short.’’
The Eagles maintained a
seven-point lead in the fourth
quarter before the Purple Roses
made one final push.
Burke scored on a drive to cut
the lead to 45-40 with 3:30 left
in the fourth quarter., before
Clark scored off a Cotta pass to
trim the advantage to 45-42.
Cotta hit a foul shot to bring
the score to 45-43 with 1:29 left
before the Purple Roses didn’t
get the break they needed to get
over the hump.
Pruiti made a basket for the
Eagles to give the home team a
47-43 lead before Taylor Shanley
was fouled, but twisted her ankle
driving to the basket.
Cotta converted one of the
two foul shots for Shanley at the
line, bringing the score to 47-44.
The Purple Roses stole the
inbound pass and Janine Mullin
drove to the basket and ran into
Langan.
No foul was called and St.
Rose was forced to foul Keir, who
made both of her free throws,
giving the Eagles a 49-44 lead
with 51 seconds left in the fourth
quarter.
“I thought we could have
fouled that girl [Langan] out in
the third quarter actually,’’ said
Roman. “I thought there was
some contact, sometimes those
calls go your way and sometimes
they don’t. We still have to execute even when we don’t get the
calls. We still had our chances.’’
Cotta hit a 3-pointer to give
the Purple Roses some hope,
trailing 49-47 with 35 seconds
left. Keir made one of two free
throws with 28 seconds left, leaving the door just open for St.
Rose.
A shot fell short and the
Purple Roses couldn’t grab the
rebound with 15 seconds left,
forcing them to foul Keir once
again.
Keir made both of her free
throws and then stole the
inbound pass to seal the fate of
St. Rose.
“We said to be desperate and
refuse to lose,’’ said Cotta. “I
think we played like that. We
played with a lot of energy, but
they are a good team. I give them
a lot of credit. She [Keir] is legit,
she is good stuff. It just stinks the
season ends for us.”

THE COAST STAR, THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 2007
High School Basketball 2007
Innocent delivers a prayer for Panthers
high in the air, and Innocent
broke from defenders.
He caught the ball, dribbled
once, and won the game.
“I saw the season flash before
my eyes,” he said of the shot. “I
never expected it to happen like
that.”
One of the many fans who
rushed the court and embraced
the hero was Innocent’s 20-yearold brother, Sidney.
“How would any brother feel?”
Sidney said. “I feel so good right
now.”
The two brothers’ father,
Ludner, was also on hand for the
electrifying basket.
“That buzzer-beater … I was a
little sleepy, and it woke me up,”
the elder Ludner said.
In a season when he has averaged nearly 22 points per game
and scored his 1,000th career
point on Jan. 25, Innocent had
little trouble in choosing his
favorite memory of the year.
“This,” the game’s unofficial
most valuable player said.
With their win over Florence,
Academy advanced to play
Asbury Park in the next round on
Saturday [see related story].
— FROM PAGE 45 —
end, and Innocent, the most prolific scorer in school history with
more than 1,000 points through
his junior year, gave his team
another fighting chance.
Innocent received the ball in
the corner and executed a baseline drive through traffic. He
somehow nailed the lay-in and
was fouled. The free throw made
it 45-48.
Florence, however, responded
with their own three-point play,
but unbelievably, Nathanael
Pacius pulled off Academy’s
third-straight trifecta when he
sank a short jumper and was
fouled.
The brief 9-3 Academy run
made it 48-51 with 1:00 left, but
the Panthers still had an uphill
battle ahead of them.
“This team never gives up,”
Heeter said of his squad.
A near Florence turnover
resulted in a jump-ball situation,
and Academy regained possession for their last shot.
Not surprisingly, Innocent was
given the ball with seconds ticking away. His three-pointer
attempt clanged off the inside of
the rim and narrowly missed, but
Artis rebounded the miss and
put back a seemingly meaningless lay-in to make it 51-50
Heeter immediately called a
timeout with just three seconds
remaining in the game.
“I told them to read the pass
and get a guy on the ball,” Heeter
said. “If the shot goes up, we have

to score.”
“We had to try to steal the ball
and score,” Innocent said.
Barring a miracle, it looked as
if Florence would win the game.

Academy’s comeback falls short against Asbury

Bishops
63 H i g h
School
STATE SECTIONALS boys basketball
team is hardly conventional.
Academy’s run through the
state tournament ended disappointingly on Saturday in another unconventional thriller that
came down to the last minute of
play.
A last-second, half-court
buzzer-beater edged Academy
over Florence in the first round
last Thursday, and the secondseeded Panthers faced a tough
third-seeded Asbury Park team
at St. Rose High School for the
two teams’ quarterfinal matchup.
In one of the more exciting
games St. Rose’s McCann
Athletic and Activities Center
has seen, Academy pulled off a
miraculous comeback after trailing 33-7 at one point only to be
devastated in the last minute
when Asbury’s John Romero hit
a 3-pointer to give his team the
win.
The loss eliminated the Lake
Como school from the Central
Group I State Sectional
Tournament.
Asbury went on an early 17-0
run behind the stellar shooting
of Romero and guard Darryl
Jefferson. The Blue Bishops sank
15 of their first 21 field goals.
Staring a 33-7 deficit in the
face midway through the second
quarter, Academy somehow
mustered the courage to not only
keep playing but to produce a
remarkable offensive barrage.
Stingy Academy defense
forced Asbury turnovers and a
quick 9-0 Academy run ensued.
Two free throws from
Academy center Ashzon Artis
and a 3-pointer from junior
guard Nathanael Pacius off an
Asbury turnover made it 33-20.
Pacius followed with two
more back-to-back three-pointers and a once silent Academy
fan base roared back to life.
“In the beginning, we couldn’t
get shots off,” said Pacius, who
finished the game with 24 points
and five three-pointers. “We had
to do something to step up, and I
just started making shots.”
Pacius’ baskets completed an
unbelievable 20-0 run, and he
wasn’t finished.
Pacius nailed a buzzer-beating
three to send his team into halftime feeling better about themselves and their 38-30 deficit.
“Coach said, ‘Now you’re back
in the game. You came out to
play, so let’s get this win,’” Pacius
said.
Pacius continued his tear into
the third quarter when he stole
an errant Asbury pass and broke
for a lay-in to make it 38-32.
Coupled with Pacius, Artis
broke out for crucial points
halfway through the third.
A short jumper from Artis
made it 45-36, and a forced
Asbury turnover was followed by
another basket from Artis to
make it 45-38.
The rally continued as
Academy narrowed the gap to
47-42 with seconds remaining in
the quarter.
No surprise, Pacius stepped up
again and nailed another buzzerbeating three to close the deficit
47-45.
Academy’s unrelenting fans
were beside themselves.
“They get us pumped up,”
Pacius said. “They were cheering
for us. It was a big game.”
Academy eventually came full
circle and gained their first lead
of the game when junior standout guard Ludner Innocent sank
a lay-in off an Academy fast
break to make it 52-51.
The two teams were locked in
an intense, back-and-forth battle, and the game was tied 58-58

with just 1:30 remaining.
Asbury delivered a crushing
blow when Romero spotted up
and sank the go-ahead threepointer.
Pacius ran out of magic and
his equalizer attempt fell short
with 30 seconds remaining.
Artis added a short jumper to
make it 61-60, but Asbury
responded with two free throws,
and Academy couldn’t match
with a desperation bomb.
The Panthers ended their season with an impressive 20-6
record and will look to do the
same next year as they return all
but one player.
Their goal for next year?
“Win a state championship,”
Pacius said.

By Len Bardsley
Kaity Irace of Allenwood used
to play hockey in her driveway,
dreaming of lacing up the skates
someday.
Stacey Rummel of Wall always
played hockey with the boys, she
didn’t know there were girls
teams until she watched the
Olympics.
Karley Kamaris of Brielle was
involved in hockey all her life,
playing with the boys and watching her father coach. She played
until she got to the boys age
group that allowed checking
when her father took her off the
ice.
Like Kaity and Stacey, Karley
was forced to wait and hope for a
girls team to form and the chance
to play the game she loved.
The New Jersey Golden
Blades have proved to be the
answer to Kaity, Stacey and
Karley’s hockey prayers, as well as
dozens of other girls looking to
try a sport dominated by boys.
The Golden Blades was
formed four years ago and are
based out of the Wall Sports
Arena.
The program has made huge
strides since its inception.
The first season was spent
mostly teaching girls to skate,
while learning the game. They
played a single scrimmage at the
end of that season.
This season the Golden Blades
won Middle Atlantic Women’s
Hockey Association playoff titles
in the U-19 and U-16 age group.
Kaity was there from the start.
The 13-year-old didn’t know
how to skate when she first started, she just knew she wanted to
try the sport.
“I was outside every day in my
driveway,’’ said Kaity. “I was just
playing, hoping one day I could
play hockey. I just wanted to play
hockey so bad.’’
Kaity’s was like the typical
player on the first group of
Golden Blades, according to her
father, Rick, who is the head
coach of the U-19 team.
“We started out with 12
skaters and it was a pay-to-play
program,’’ said Irace. “We were
getting the ice for a decent price
from Wall and if 10 kids showed
up we would collect 25 bucks
from each and give that to the
rink,’’ said Irace. “They were letting us get it started the first year.
The first year we just played one
pick-up game at the end of the
year.’’
The majority of the players
were what Irace called tripods —
they would hold themselves up
with their sticks.
“I could not stand up when I
first started,’’ said Kaity. “I have
progressed so much since I started. I can’t believe I am playing on
a U-19 White Division team.’’
Each division is split into three
levels, the Red being the highest
level, White being the middle
and Blue, the lowest.
The U-19 group of players
went from going without a victory last season in the U-16 age
group to winning the Division
championships this season.
The U-16 team not only won
the regular season division title,
but the playoffs as well.
“For our organization to win
both is big,’’ said Irace. “Most of
the other organizations we play
have been in existence for 10 to
12 years.’’
Stacey is thrilled to have the
Golden Blades. A sophomore at
Wall, Stacey plays backup goalie
for the Crimson Knights on the
same team as her older brother
Nick, a senior.
Stacey has the scoring touch of
her brother and gets to display it
often for the Golden Blades.
“I love playing with the
Golden Blades,’’ said Stacey.
“They are my favorite team. I
play for Wall too, I like playing
goalie so I get to do both.’’
It was natural for Stacey to
play on the boys teams. She
admits she didn’t realize there
could be something different
until she watched women’s hockey in the Olympics.
“I didn’t even think of that,’’
said Stacey of a girls team. “I just
thought I would play with the
boys. I thought it was normal
when I was little. You grow up
and realize there are girls in the
Olympics and girls’ teams. I figured I could do both.”
Stacey and Erin Miller both
played on their high school team.
Miller is a senior at Manasquan
and played forward for the
Warriors.
Stacey and Erin had no choice
when it came to playing high
school hockey with the boys since
the closest school that offers high
school hockey for girls is 30 miles
away in Mercer County.
The Golden Blades have had
two players advance to the level
of being able to play for established girls programs in high
school.
Chelsea Van Glahn is playing
at the Wyoming Seminary in
Kessington, Pa., while Christie
Cicero is playing at the National
Sports Academy in Lake Placid,
N.Y.
The fact there is no high
school girls teams is just another
obstacle for the Golden Bears.
It should be no surprise the
best girls program in New Jersey,
the Princeton Tigerlillies, has the
resource of four schools that offer
hockey
in
the
area;
Lawrenceville, Princeton Day
School, Stuart and Princeton.
“Most of the girls coming in
may have played roller hockey,’’
said Irace. “A lot of them knew
nothing about the game at all. It
is rare you get someone who has
a knowledge of the game who
can skate.’’
The progression of the girls
from learning to skate, to falling
in love with the game to winning
is an enjoyable one to watch for
Irace.
“It is nice to watch the development of all the girls,’’ said
Irace.
Karley was just the type of
player that was a perfect fit for
the Golden Blades when they
formed.
Karley might have played with
the boys at Manasquan, if not for
her father, Kim. Kim Kamaris
coached at Manasquan and is
now
coaching
at
Brick
Memorial.
He decided Karley should not
play with the boys once checking
was allowed in the games, [12
and above].
Karley started as a figure
skater, but soon followed in her
father’s footsteps.
“When I was little I was a figure skater from when I was four
until seven,’’ said Karley. “I started ice hockey because my dad
was an ice hockey player and I
realized figure skating was not
going to fly in my family. He let
me try hockey skates in free skate
and I liked the way they worked
so I tried it.’’
Karley, a junior at Manasquan,
played hockey with many of the
current boys on the Warriors
team.
“Once it got into checking my
dad pulled me,’’ said Karley. “He
told me to wait until a girls team
comes along. It was a three-year
break. Coming back was so different, but I think everyone was
in the same boat.’’
Karley never expected to win
the division playoffs at the start
of the season, but she saw potential as the season progressed.
“It was not a surprise when it
came down to the playoff series,’’
said Karley. “At the beginning of
the season I would never have
thought we would have won. I
thought we would be coming
behind Hershey and Reading,
because we were a new team and
our team dynamic was not as
strong in the beginning. We
worked so hard and put it all
together and that is what helped
us win.’’
The Golden Blades are always
looking for girls interested in
joining the program. The team
will be holding open tryouts for
all ages next month at the Wall
Sports Arena. Anyone interested

High School Ice Hockey 2007
Wall’s fast start helps put away Paramus
By Len Bardsley
WALL — The Wall ice hockey team was the clear favorite
heading into its game against
Paramus in the preliminary round
of the New Jersey Interscholastic
Athletic
ICE HOCKEY
Association
tourKnights
6 state
nament
Spartans
2 Wednesday
at the Wall
STATE TOURNAMENT S p o r t s
Arena.
The Crimson Knights were
seeded 25th, compared to the
Spartans, who were seeded 40th.
Wall coach Mike Dianora
wanted his team to play like
favorites, from start to finish,
knowing the Crimson Knights
had trouble playing that role earlier in the season.
Dianora had a few minutes of
worry, but he was breathing a sigh
of relief by the end of the first
period when Wall cruised to a 6-2
victory against Paramus.
The
Crimson
Knights
advanced to the first round when
they traveled to eighth seeded
Ramapo, Monday at Sport-ORama in Monsey, N.Y. [see story].
Wall took the drama out of the
game against Paramus with four
goals in the first period.
Crimson Knights goalie Eric
Stohrer was forced to make a
tough chest save on Spartans forward John Lento before the Wall
offense kicked things into high
gear.
Brian Montanelli took a perfect
lead pass from Matt DeBonis and
raced in on the Paramus goal with
7:35 left in the first period.
Montanelli cut through the
Spartans defense and slipped a
forehand past Paramus goalie
Mike Smith to give Wall a 1-0
lead.
Jack Gabuzda gave the
Crimson Knights a 2-0 less than a
minute later when he took a pass
from Frank Stagliano and onetimed a shot into the Spartans
goal with 6:45 left in the first period.
“The first couple of shifts I was
like, ‘what are we doing here,’’’ said
Dianora. “Then we turned it on
and played a great first period.’’
The two quick goals seemed to
put Paramus on its heels and the
Crimson Knights continued to
take advantage.
Nick Rummel broke right
through the Spartans defense and
made a nice deke in front of the
goal to score on Smith to push the
Wall advantage to 3-0 with 4:50
left in the first period.
The Crimson Knights finished
off the first period with a skating
exhibition by senior defenseman
Matt DeBonis.
DeBonis used his smooth
strides to carry the puck up ice
and cut around a few Spartans
players creating a shorthanded 2on-1.
DeBonis slid a pass to Gabuzda
who deflected the puck over the
shoulder of the Paramus goalie to
push the advantage to 4-0 Wall
with 2:13 left in the first period.
“I thought it was a good start,’’
said DeBonis. “I thought we
played good in the first and we
had a little letdown in the second,
but we picked it up again in the
third.’’
DeBonis wanted to make sure
there would be no upsets, espe-
cially in what would be the
senior’s final home game.
“It was the last home game for
a senior it was kind of special,’’
said DeBonis. “We heard about
the upsets so we wanted to come
out and get a good lead and that is
what we did.’’
DeBonis knocked in a Casey
Biel rebound midway through the
second period to give Wall a 5-0
lead before the Crimson Knights
relaxed a little and allowed
Paramus a little hope for a short
amount of time.
The Spartans got on the board
when Lento cut through the Wall
defense and slipped a shot past
Stohrer with five minutes left in
the second period.
Paramus cut the Crimson
Knight lead to 5-2 with 45 seconds left in the second period
when R.J. Menheim knocked his
own rebound into the net.
Gabuzda got some of the
momentum back for the Crimson
Knights with a simple hustle play
in the final moments of the second period.
The Spartans were on the
power play and the clock was
winding down when Gabuzda
raced for a loose puck. A Paramus
forward, worried Gabuzda might
gain a last-second breakaway, was
whistled for an interference penalty on the Wall forward.
The penalty took the Spartans
off the power play and helped
toned down the physical play of
Paramus during the third period.
The Crimson Knights ensured
there would be no more thoughts
of a comeback early in the third
period when Biel settled a bouncing puck and fired a wrist shot
past the Paramus goalie to give
Wall a 6-2 lead with 11:44 left in
the third period.
“We came out hard and kept
putting it into the net in the first
period,’’ said Biel. “When you
score a couple of goals early it
takes the wind out of their sails
and it keeps you going from
there.’’
Biel was excited to have his line
back together after Montanelli
was forced to sit out the loss to
Middletown North on Friday in
the Dowd Cup finals due to illness.
“We have been working really
well together,’’ said Biel. “We are
moving the puck, getting more
shots and scoring more goals.’’
The Crimson Knights did a
good job of containing the
Spartans in the third period, limiting Paramus to eight shots.
Stohrer finished with 21 saves.
“Eric made the saves he needed
too,’’ said Dianora. “He has been
there all year. He has evolved into
a quality goaltender.’’
Dianora was pleased to cruise
through the first game of the
states, but knows the Crimson
Knights will have to put together
three solid periods against
Ramapo.
“The second period we kind of
got a little lazy,’’ said Dianora.
“When we went on that run [winning eight out of nine], the key
was
the
backcheck. We
backchecked liked crazy. We did
that in the first period today, but
in the second period we let up and
let them back in the game. We
have to play a more consistent
game from start to finish.’’

and was able to escape with 1:00 remaining.
He avoided a desperation takedown attempt in
the closing seconds for a 5-4 win and a trip to
the state tournament finals.
Appropriately, “Gladiator” was on television
that night.
“It was perfect: a good fighting movie to get
me pumped up,” Doyle said. “I had a little trouble sleeping, but when I woke up, it hit me that
it was state finals day.”
Doyle’s storybook run ended in the finals
when he faced last year’s state champion,
Hopatcong senior Zack Rey.
Three escapes were not enough to overtake
Rey as Doyle was edged out 4-3.
For Doyle, the sting of the loss was eased by
a memorable year in which he recorded his
100th victory and finished second in New
Jersey.
“New Jersey is one of the toughest states to
wrestle in and to think I’m number two is awesome,” he said.
Drew’s brother, Matt, was on the mat coaching him throughout his state tournament run.
Matt finished sixth in the state at 160 as a senior in 2003.
“It wasn’t so much that I beat [Hester], but
it was more important that he [Matt] was
there,” Doyle said. “He was in the corner for
my state final.”
Also meaningful for Doyle was the fact that
his teammate and fellow senior, Blaine
Woszczak, was wrestling alongside him for all
three days.
Whereas Doyle took a more direct route and
had five total matches, Woszczak eventually
wrestled seven grueling matches on the weekend.
Woszczak began on Friday with a 24-5
technical fall over St. Peter Prep’s Brian
Rohrman in the preliminary round and then
gutted out a 5-0 decision in the pre-quarterfinal round over St. Augustine’s Mike DiGalbo.
“Every kid down there is a beast,” Woszczak
said. “It’s just a matter of who wants it more.”

Wall senior heavyweight Drew Doyle reacts to his stunning upset pin over
Paulsboro’s Demetrius Hester in the pre-quarterfinal round of the NJSIAA Individual
State Wrestling Tournament on Friday. Doyle eventually placed second in the state.
A heartbreaking 5-3 decision loss to
Northern Highlands’ Derek Steuben sent
Woszczak to the wrestleback bracket in a very
tough 140-pound weight class.
Woszczak recorded a pin in 3:47 over
Clayton’s Scott Wear and followed with a 16-6
major decision over Haddonfield’s Andrew
Hessert before losing 9-3 to Pompton Lakes’
Bob Matthews.
Though he was eliminated from a chance at
third place, Woszczak was placed in the fifthplace consolation bout where he wrestled
Steuben again.
Woszczak, the only four-time District 23
champion in Wall history, fell 9-4 to Steuben
and finished sixth place.
“It’s awesome to place in the state,”
Woszczak said. “I did what I could. He had my
number.”
For Woszczak, the fifth-place bout meant
extinguishing three previous years of frustration and close calls in the state tournament.
“Hands down, the placing match was the
best feeling,” Woszczak said. “To get top eight
is awesome. The feeling of being down there is
pretty unbelievable.”
Not since Nick Roy and Andy Roy placed
second and third at 152 and 171, respectively,
in 2000, have two Wall wrestlers placed in the
state’s top eight elite wrestlers.
“I’m extremely proud,” Nase said. “I’m happy
to see them showcase their talent on the big
stage like that.”

Wall takes another step in right direction
By Len Bardsley
At first glance it would seem
like there was not much change
in the progress of the Wall ice
hockey program from last season
to this season.
The Crimson Knights were
seeded 25th
ICE HOCKEY
in the state
NOTEBOOK
tournament
for the second year in a row, won their first
tournament game by four goals,
[compared to three last season],
and lost to the eighth-seeded
team for the second season in a
row by three goals.
Yet Wall’s 4-1 loss to Ramapo
on Monday at Sport-O-Rama
did, in fact, show how much the
Crimson Knights have progressed from last season.
Wall dominated much of the
play against the Raiders despite
the loss, unlike last season when
they made a game of it against
eighth-seeded Steinert after
falling behind by four goals.
The Crimson Knights also put
together several milestones in
their sixth season of varsity
hockey.
Wall won a school record 18
games, took second place in the
regular season in the Southern
Conference White Division and
lost in the finals of the Dowd
Cup.
The biggest change, however,
from last season to this season
was the way the Crimson
Knights played.
Wall played a disciplined,
defensive style that was well
suited to playing tough competition.
The Crimson Knights finished the season with one of the
best goals against averages in
the Shore Conference.
It was clear Wall was ready to
play tight games all season.
“I thought we played much
better this year,’’ said senior forward Nick Rummel. “We have a
tighter team and we played
much better as a group.’’
Wall coach Mike Dianora
agreed the Crimson Knights
continue to take steps in the
right direction in becoming a
respected public school program
in New Jersey.
“We are ahead of last year,’’
said Dianora. “We are a better
team. We are more advanced in
our skilled players, we used bet-

Wall junior defenseman Kevin Dahms developed into one of the best defensemen in the White
Division this season and will be one of the leaders for the Crimson Knights next season.
ter systems, we are more of an
advanced team all around.’’
Dianora feels the Crimson
Knights accomplished a lot of
goals during the season.
“We set a lot of personal
records,’’ said Dianora. “We got
further in the league [second
place, compared to fourth last
season]. We won the Shore
Conference again, we competed
for our division and got one step
further in the division playoffs.
It was a successful season, the
best we have ever had.’’
The Crimson Knights will
lose several seniors who were
critical to the team’s continued
development.
Matt DeBonis leaves as one
of the top defensemen in the
Shore Conference and the best
player to suit up for the
Crimson Knights.
Rummel is the first Wall
player to score 100 career
points, while Ryan Kitrick was a
steady forward on the third line
and penalty killing units and
provided leadership as a captain
with DeBonis and Rummel.
The Crimson Knights also
got solid contributions from
defenseman Will Wells, who
missed part of the season with
an injury and defenseman Todd
Binger.
“Losing Matt is huge, he is
the best defenseman we have
ever had,’’ said Dianora. “Ryan
was a great captain and scored
some big goals for us and Nick
was our first 100-point scorer.’’
The Crimson Knights return
a solid group of players starting
with goalie Eric Stohrer.
Stohrer made the most of his
first season as a starter, earning
six shutouts.
“What can you say about
Eric?’’ said Dianora. “He was
awesome.’’
Junior
defenseman Kevin
Dahms was another player who
made the most of his opportunity, becoming one of the top
defensemen in the White
Division.
The Crimson Knights will
also return defensemen Mike
Murray, Sean Reynolds
and
Chris Swan as well as Brett
Whelan, who had one of his
best games of the season against
Ramapo.
Wall will also get back plenty
of help on the forward line with
five of their six forwards from
the top two lines returning in
Brian Montanelli, Casey Biel,
Frank Stagliano,
Tim
Margadonna and Jeff Gabuzda.

to give Ramapo a 2-1 lead.
“We did everything but win
the game,’’ said Wall coach Mike
Dianora. “We dominated the
game. We made a few mistakes
and they capitalized. They
scored. [late in the second period] We saw the play and were
yelling from the bench. It happens. We had to fight back.’’
The late goal seemed to take a
little jump out of Wall and the
Raiders took a 3-1 lead with
12:18 left in the third period.
Ramapo created a turnover
near the top of the Crimson
Knights’ blue line and created a
quick chance going the other
way.
Stohrer made the initial save,
but Eric Maguire managed to
chip the rebound into the net to
give the Raiders a two-goal
advantage.

Wall continued to battle after
Sorrenti’s second goal and generate the kind of quality chances
they had the entire game.
Ramapo goalie Dan Menken,
who seemed to get stronger and
more confident with each period,
made a pad save on a Brian
Montanelli deflection with six
minutes left and a pad save on
Nick Rummel from close range.
Menken would later stop
Casey Biel on another deflection
from point-blank range before
watching Frank Stagliano slide a
shot just wide of the open net.
It seemed fitting that the
Raiders would finish off the
Crimson Knights when Sorrenti
sent a backhand the length of the
ice into Wall’s open net after
Stohrer had been pulled for an
extra forward with 57 seconds
left in the game.
Sorrenti’s shot seemed to find
the net like it had a Global
Positioning System attached to
it, yet nearly every Crimson
Knights shot was just off its
mark.
“We hit their butt, we hit their
leg,’’ said Dianora. “It was like
there was a force of some other
kind against us. I can’t be more
proud of these guys, even in a
loss.’’
The Crimson Knights proved
despite getting the 25th seed,
they were equal to the challenge
of competing with eighth-seeded
Ramapo.
“There were a couple times the
puck seemed to curl around the
goal-line,’’ said Rummel. “It didn’t seem to want to go in. We had
our chances we just couldn’t seem
to bang it home.’’
The Raiders took a 1-0 lead
midway through the first period
when Chris Martin got a head of
steam going into the Crimson
Knights’ end, cut towards the
goal and sent a wrist shot past
Stohrer with 8:30 left in the first
period.
Wall had about a half dozen
near misses before Tim
Margadonna tied the game 1-1
in the final minute of the first
period.
Margadonna took a perfect
feed from Frank Stagliano and
slid the puck into the open side
of the net with 23 seconds left in
the first period.
The Crimson Knights picked
up where they left off in the second period.
The Raiders seemed willing to
allow Wall to set up in the
Ramapo zone and take shot after
shot on Menken.
The Raiders’ goalie made a
stick save on Rummel, a chest
save on Matt DeBonis and kick
save on Montanelli all in the first
five minutes of the second period.
“We had opportunities,’’ said
DeBonis. “We had so many
opportunities, but we just
missed. I thought we played
well.’’
It didn’t take long for Rummel
to realize the Crimson Knights
could dictate the play against the
Raiders.
“We thought we could win
this,’’ said Rummel. “We knew
we were in a dog fight, all we had
to do was play our game.’’
The Crimson Knights played
their game and brought their
large continent of fans, who
made the 90-mile trek, jump to
their feet on several occasions
during the second period.
At one point Rummel sent a
shot that nicked the post and
another shot hit a Raiders
defender and slid inches wide of
the open net.
“I thought we played well
enough to win,’’ said DeBonis.
“We just didn’t capitalize on our
opportunities. We came out
hard, they just got a couple of
bounces. I think we were just as
good a team as they were. The
score does not indicate how the
game was.’’
— BARDSLEY —
returning next season.
“I think we taught them a lot
of things they will carry over into
next season,’’ said Crehan.
It is clear Crehan and Cotta
learned how to take responsibility and to lead by example, if the
Purple Roses follow in their
footsteps the program will continue to be in good hands on and
off the court.
From Page 45
meeting, two of them will
come out like Meg Cotta and
Lauren Crehan.’’
One of the things Crehan
talked about following their final
game was what was she and
Cotta could impart on the large
group of Purple Rose players

THE COAST STAR, THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 2007
FISHING TIPS
The
National
Marine
Fisheries Council voted unanimously last Thursday, March 1
that the 2007 summer flounder
regulations would be set at 17
inches with an eight-fish bag
limit and a season running from
May 26 through Sept. 10. This
would amount to a 108-day season. This was one of the four
options being voted on all with
an eight-fish bag limit. The
other three options being considered were: 16 1/2-inch minimum length, 65-day season
from July 1 to Sept. 3; 17-inch
minimum, 102-day season from
June 9 to Sept. 18; 17 1/2-inch
minimum, 198-day season from
April 7 to Oct. 21.
JCAA legislative chairman
Tom Fote said that surfcasters
would have preferred to see the
17 1/2-inch minimum that
would provide a 198-day season.
This is because late summer and
early fall is traditionally the best
time to find and catch larger
fluke in the surf. However, since
most JCAA club members are
boaters, they were concerned
that this option would leave
much less opportunity to catch a
legal fish inshore during most of
the season.
Tom Siciliano, the corresponding
secretary
of
the
Manasquan Fishing Club,
reported that the club had conducted a survey of the feelings
of their members that was done
via e-mail to all members and
telephone to some of the members without e-mail addresses.
Siciliano said this was done so
we could let the New Jersey
Marine Fisheries Council know
the feelings of the club. The
information was also provided
to the JCAA and to the council.
The majority of the club
members were in favor of 17inch size but it certainly was not
unanimous. The numbers and
the percentage in favor of each
size limit are as follows: 16-inch
size, two members, 9 percent of
members responding; 17-inch
size, 15 members, 65 percent of
members responding; 17-inch
size, three members, 13 percent
of members responding; the
coast-wide option 18-inch size
with no closed season had three
members in favor, which was 13
percent of members responding.
“It is clear that members had
a difference of opinion with
some wanting as much opportunity to fish as possible that the
larger size limit would give
them,” Siciliano said “These
By
Jim
Freda
were generally the people who
fished a lot for fluke and would
be considered the club sharpies.
They wanted to fish for fluke as
much as possible. They also
wanted the ability to keep a fish
when they were out fishing for
something else and had an incidental catch of a nice fish. Some
mentioned they had some nice
fluke last year when they were
fishing for winter flounder and
stripers and would have liked to
have brought that fish home to
eat.”
The 15th Annual Asbury
Park Fishing Club Flea Market
will be held this Sunday, March
11 from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at
the Asbury Park Convention
Hall, Ocean and Sunset avenues
in Asbury Park. There will be
over 110 tables of new and used
equipment but the real attraction of the show is that it will
feature the best plug makers in
the Northeast.
Joe Palotto, president of the
Club said, “This is the event
that all the fishermen in our area
wait for. Several new plug makers this year will be at the event.
Mike Fixter is flying in from
California, Gary Soldati, of Big
Water Lures, is coming in from
Massachusetts and Skip Smith
is coming up from Florida. It
should be another great show, if
everyone remembers to set their
clocks ahead.”
Here is the complete list of
plug makers that will be present
with their plug signature names,
if they have one: Gene Amato,
Fish On; Tom Bottomley, TB
Swimmers; Robert Brennan,
Black Label Plugs; Wade Carr,

Greg over at Brielle Bait and
Tackle reports that the Big
Jamaica out of Brielle has been
scoring well with jumbo sea bass
on their 60- to 80-mile wreck
trips. Most anglers are catching
10 to 15 sea bass per trip, all of
decent size. John Grady Sr., of
Brielle, won the pool this past
week with an 8-pound 1-ounce
sea bass and had 22 others. Greg
says that the Paramount is also
doing well on their Mud Hole
ling trips 15 to 20 miles out.
Average catches are 12 to 15
ling per person with ling up to 3
pounds.
On the freshwater scene,
Greg reports that Forge Pond in
Brick has been producing some
nice white perch up to 14 inches for those anglers fishing the
west side of Route 70. Worms
and killies have been working
best. Greg also says that Lake
Shenandoah in Ocean County
Park is giving up some largemouth bass on killies too. Greg
says that he is all ready for the
start of the winter flounder season with all the baits and chum
that you will need.

Lombardi Award Dinner honors
Galante, Richards, Sullivan
By Len Bardsley
Wall senior David Galante
was one of several local football
players honored at the 35th
Annual Vince Lombardi Awards
Dinner, held last Thursday at the
Sheraton Hotel in Eatontown.
The dinner started as a extension of the college award dinner
named after the legendary Green
Bay Packers coach.
The
Rotary
Club
of
Monmouth County hosts the
dinner with proceeds donated to
the United Way and American
Cancer Society.
A lineman from every
Monmouth County school was
selected by their coaches, who
considered the following qualities;
discipline,
courage,
endurance, desire, ability and
performance.
Tyler Richards was the
Lombardi Award winner from
Wall and James Sullivan was the
winner from Manasquan.
Galante was the recipient of
the John Tuggle Award. The
award is presented to a player
who overcomes adversity and
meeting a challenge and succeeding.
Galante had to deal with a
case of hyperthyroidism that
developed at the end of his sophomore year.
It took several trips to the
doctor to diagnose the problem,
that caused a massive weight loss
in the big offensive lineman.
Galante dropped 70 pounds,
much of it muscle weight, and
could not play football for his
entire junior season.
Once he was diagnosed and
treated, Galante worked his way
back into football shape and
started last season for the
Crimson Knights.
“It was surprising and an
honor to get the award,’’ said
Galante.
Galante did some research on
John Tuggle and was moved to
present a speech at the dinner
ceremony attended by 300 people.
Tuggle was the last player
picked in the 1983 NFL draft by
the New York Giants and made
the team and started a few years
before being diagnosed with
cancer. Tuggle eventually died
from the disease.
“As I read about John Tuggle
and his courageous fight it made
me reflect on my health problem
as I tried to put it into perspective,’’ said Galante. “My problem
was curable with treatment. John
Tuggle had to face the fact his
illness was terminal. As he put
up a great fight, I cannot imagine
or comprehend the agony he
went through with his life being
devastated by cancer, but he
never gave up the fight.’’
Galante pointed out he had
plenty of support getting back
onto the field, starting with his
parents, Edward Sr. and Jill, as
well as his doctor, Dr. Malcolm
Schwartz of Monmouth Medical
Center and the Wall coaching
staff of Chris Barnes, Mike
Galos and Bill Pietch.
“They encouraged me not to
give up and to work hard,’’ said
Galante of the Wall coaches.
“They inspired me to continue to
play football. They gave me a
chance to play the game that I
love.’’
Galante also thanked Calvin
Thompson and Mark Deppen at
Training Youth Champions for
getting him into top football
shape so he can continue his
playing
career
at
Kean
University.
“It is with deep humility and
great honor for me to accept this
esteemed award,’’ said Galante in
closing his speech. “I shall do
everything in my power to live
up to its spirit, its meaning and
to never give up.’’
Sullivan had plenty of company at the dinner. The Manasquan
senior center, who will attend

Wall senior offensive guard David Galante [center] was presented with the John Tuggle Award
at the Vince Lombardi Awards dinner, Thursday. Galante holds the award with his father Edward
Sr., and his mother Jill.

Monmouth University, was
joined by most of his senior
Warrior teammates.
Manasquan was named the
Team of the Year, while Warriors
head coach Vic Kubu was named
Coach of the Year.
“It was a great honor to be able
to get this award,’’ said Sullivan.
“It was real nice.’’

prone to turnovers and poor
shots.
The Roses exploited St. Peter’s
for 10 fast-break points, all of
which came off of steals.
A 30-19 lead at the half gave
Devaney the opportunity to use
some of his bench players in
preparation for future state
games.
Sophomores Joe Quinn and
Sean McPaul combined for several well-executed give-and-go
plays that sparked the Roses’
offense and continued the
onslaught.
McPaul, a 6’7” forward, displayed considerable athleticism
with aggressive baseline drives to
the basket. He finished the game
with six points.
“Sean had a good game. He
missed a few weeks early in the
season [due to injury], but he’s
really coming into his own,”
Devaney said.
It was an added bonus for
Sullivan to get another chance to
see Monmouth University head
coach Kevin Callahan, who was
one of the guest speakers.
Sullivan has enjoyed reading
about Lombardi and was thrilled
to get an honor in his name.
“I have been a Lombardi fan,’’
said Sullivan. “I always admired
him. When they were describing
what the trophy stood for, discipline, honor, courage, endurance,
desire, ability and performance;
that was kind of cool.’’
Kubu could not attend the
awards dinner, but assistant
coach Richard Read accepted the
award in his place.
Kubu was voted coach of they
year by his peers in Monmouth
County.
“He thought it was nice to get
that
honor,’’ said
Read.
“Especially when it was coming
from the other coaches.’’
St. Rose closed out the third
quarter with a 42-26 lead when
Quinn dished to McPaul for a
fast-break lay-in.
The Roses outscored the
Cardinals 21-12 in the fourth
quarter, 10 of which came off of
late St. Peter desperation fouls.
Though they never seriously
threatened, St. Peter’s was able to
expose an ineffective St. Rose
man-to-man defense.
Devaney, who prides himself
on having a strong man-to-man
defensive team, said his team
must fire on all cylinders defensively if they hope to have any
success in the state tournament.
“I’m disappointed in our
defense. I firmly believe in manto-man, but we could not contain
their dribble penetration, and we
were forced to go to zone
[defense],” Devaney said.
Once the Roses began playing
their zone defense, they were
able to collapse on any driving
players and force turnovers.
The win improved St. Rose’s
record to 19-7 on the season and
was just one of many that has
validated their season after an
especially trying start.
After a Jan. 2 loss to Asbury
Park dropped them to 4-5 on the
season, the Roses have won 15 of
their last 17 games.

Section 1. Chapter 225, Article IX, Section 225-46 of the Borough
Code of the Borough of Spring Lake is hereby rescinded in its integrity and shall be replaced with the following language:
A. Every application for development shall be accompanied by a
check payable to the Borough of Spring Lake in accordance with the
Master Fee Scheduled, as adopted by Resolution of the Mayor and
Council of the Borough of Spring Lake unless specifically waived by the
Planning Board. The application fee listed shall be nonrefundable and
shall be used solely for the purpose of processing said application or
review. It should include all work done in connection with said application or review other than those fees charged for engineering or legal
reviews. The escrow fee charged for the application and reviews shall be
used exclusively of professional reviews by the engineers, attorneys, or
other consultants in a particular field, such as traffic, ecology, etc.,
employed by the Borough or any of its boards and agencies to provide an
independent study or report regarding the impact of the applicant's proposed development and/or recommend appropriate treatments. Said
escrow fees shall be so segregated for each applicant so that the fee that
is paid shall be utilized only for that particular application. In the event
that any of the escrows remain unused at the conclusion of the application,
said amount that is not utilized shall be returned to the applicant. If the
escrow fee charged is insufficient so as to cover the legal and engineer
fees applicable to that particular applicant, than that applicant shall be
required to pay all deficiencies within his individual account.
B. Fees for the Engineer's pre-hearing review and compliance review,
as well as the Board Attorney's fee, shall be paid out of the escrow
account. Any funds remaining will be returned to the applicant.
C. Where one application for development includes several approval
requests, the sum of the individual required fees shall be paid.
D. If the applicant desires a court reporter, the cost of taking testimony and transcribing it and providing a copy of the transcript to the
Borough shall be at the expense of the applicant who also shall arrange
for the reporter's attendance.
E. Additional/nonrefundable fees. Where the application for land use
development to the Planning Board requires more than two professional
reviews by Board's staff and consultants and/or more than two caucus
meetings, if applicable, and/or more than two public hearings, subsequent
to the initial filing of such application and prior to the final determination
on such application, the applicant shall be required to pay an additional
fee in the amount representing 25% of the base fee, as submitted under
Subsection A above for each required additional procedure.
F. Compliance review. It shall be the condition of final site plan
approval, subdivision approval, and/or variance approval that the applicant shall post an additional fee equal to 25% of the base fee as submitted under Subsection A above for each requested review of the application
for compliance with the terms of the resolution granting such approval.
Section 2. If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, or any part
of this Ordinance is determined to be unconstitutional and invalid, such
judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder of the
Ordinance, not directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment shall have been rendered.
Section 3. This Ordinance repeals any inconsistent Ordinance or part
or parts thereof.
Section 4. This Ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its final
passage and publication as required by law.
