HS principal to
see off his last
graduating class
By Jessica Stenstrom
POINT PLEASANT — On Tuesday, John
Staryak, Ed.D., principal of the high school here
will watch his eighth, and final, graduating class
receive its diplomas on Al Saner Field.
As the 2007 graduates prepare to embark on the
next chapter of their lives,
Mr. Staryak will start a new
chapter of his own.
Before taking over the top
administrative post at Point
Pleasant Borough High
School in 1999, Mr. Staryak
served as the school’s guidance director.
“There are a lot of mixed
emotions,” the principal said
this week. “I am really going
JOHN STARYAK to miss the students. It’s been
a lot of fun.
“I have a great office staff, teaching staff and
administrative staff,” he added.
When Mr. Staryak officially retires on Sept. 1,
Linda Rocco, the current principal of Nellie
Bennett School, will occupy the principal’s office in
the high school. She was appointed to the position
at the board of education’s regular meeting last
Monday evening.
Mr. Staryak has a long-standing career in education. Prior to coming to the Point Pleasant School

Mantoloking voters, including Peg Hofmann, headed to the polls for
Tuesday’s primaries. When the ballots were counted, longtime Councilman
Douglas Popaca learned he had not secured the GOP endorsement to seek
another term.
Popaca edged out for
GOP endorsement
By Jessica Stenstrom
MANTOLOKING — With a total
of only 13 votes separating the three
Republican council candidates in
Tuesday’s primary here, political newcomer Donald Ness ousted three-term
incumbent
Councilman
Douglas
Popaca.
Councilman Popaca, Councilwoman
Beth Nelson and Mr. Ness all faced off
in Tuesday’s primary — each attempting
to secure enough votes to run on the
party line for the two three-year seats
open on the governing body this fall.
According to election results provided
by the Ocean County Clerk’s Office,
Mr. Ness was the top vote getter, securing 94 votes. Barring an aggressive
write-in campaign, he will likely be the
newest Mantoloking councilman since
no Democratic candidates filed to run in
that party’s primary here.
Councilwoman Nelson will also
appear on the general election ballot
after securing 84 votes this week.

term on the governing body was

POINT PLEASANT BEACH — For the
last several months, Republican mayoral candidate Vincent Barrella has been telling anybody
who would listen that it was time for a change
in local politics.
Apparently, a large majority of local
Republicans agreed with Mr. Barrella and
showed their support for him at the polls during Tuesday’s Republican primary, choosing
Mr. Barrella as the party’s candidate for mayor
in the general election, and ousting Mayor
Thomas Vogel in the process.
According to election results provided by the
borough clerk, Mr. Barrella received 308 votes
this week, compared to Mayor Vogel’s total of
178.
A total of 542 Republican voters went to the
polls Tuesday, representing a voter turnout of
17 percent of the 3,458 registered Republicans
in Point Pleasant Beach.
Mr. Barrella will now face off against the
Democratic candidate for mayor, Councilman
Michael DiCicco, who garnered 87 votes on
Tuesday in his party’s uncontested primary.
On Wednesday, Mr. Barrella said obviously a
lot of Republicans agreed with his assertion
that Point Pleasant Beach needs a change in
political leadership.
“I do think that this sends a clear message
that it is time for a change,” Mr. Barrella said.
“We need to come up with a strategy in this
town that puts the taxpayers and residents first.

“I am happy I won, but it’s a hard thing.
Tommy [Vogel] is a good guy, but now, I have
a lot to do,” Mr. Barrella added.
The newly chosen GOP mayoral candidate
said while the victory in Tuesday’s primary was
encouraging, it is just the beginning.
“I didn’t run just to win the primary, I ran to
win in November,” Mr. Barrella said. “There is
a lot of work to be done now. It feels good on
one level, now we just have to try and build
something that benefits the residents and taxpayers of Point Pleasant Beach, that is the key.
“I may be out-spent, but I will not be outworked,” he added, referring to the campaign
leading up to the general election.
On Wednesday, the now-lame duck Mayor
Vogel said the results of Tuesday’s primary reemphasized the political changes that have
been taking place in Point Pleasant Beach over
the last several years.
“I have to give him credit, Vinny worked
hard,” Mayor Vogel said. “Obviously there have
been a lot of changes in the politics of Point
Pleasant Beach recently.”
But, despite those changes and his impending departure from the dais, Mayor Vogel —
who served two years as a councilman before
being elected mayor four years ago — said he
was proud of the things he accomplished during his tenure on the governing body.
“I worked hard during the last six years and
think we accomplished some great things during that time,” Mayor Vogel said. “I enjoyed

BAY HEAD — The council here voted
unanimously this week to stop collecting weekly water samples from the Barnegat Bay — a
decision that prompted one resident to urge the
council not only to reconsider the move, but also
to expand the program to test for additional
contaminants.
The discussion on Monday night began with
a suggestion from Councilman John DeFilippis,
who chairs the governing body’s public works
committee.
The councilman said every Wednesday in the
summer for the past several years, a public works
employee has collected water samples from six
to nine different locations along the borough’s
bayfront. Once collected, the same employee
delivers the samples to an Ocean County
Department of Health testing facility in
Berkeley, and waits for the test results to come in
before returning to Bay Head. In total, the
councilman said, the employee spends about six
hours every week in the summer completing the

task — time that could be spent helping to cross
items off the public works department’s lengthy
to-do list.
The councilman suggested the borough discontinue the practice because — based on what
he has been able to determine to date — the
reports containing the results, which are on file
at borough hall, have never been reviewed by
anyone other than himself. He added the tests
only determine the levels of fecal coliform bacteria in the water and do not assess the levels of
other contaminants.
“I looked at three years of data and I don’t
believe anyone has read the reports,” the councilman said on Monday night. “Since no one is
doing anything with the information, I’d like to
curtail that activity.”
Councilman DeFilippis said he had “no idea”
what agency instigated the collection and testing of the water samples, and reiterated “the
results of that collection have not been used by

Council takes no action on
detective’s sick time request
By Jessica Stenstrom
Starting today, Point Pleasant
Borough Detective Joseph Hynes’
sick time and vacation time has run
out, leaving him with two choices
— accept unpaid leave from the
department or apply for state disability pay.
Neither is an option that
Detective Hynes wants to take.
At last month’s meeting of the
mayor and council, Detective
Hynes asked for permission to
either borrow future sick and vacation time that he would receive
from the borough in future years,
or be allowed to have his colleagues
donate their own unused and
banked sick time to him.
Detective Hynes has worked for
the police department for the past
six years, but a health problem
landed him out of work for months
and he has been out on paid leave.
A benign tumor forced the detective to have half of a lung and all of
his lymph nodes removed. He said
one of his ribs has also been permanently removed because it was
attached to his lung.
Detective Hynes said he has a
projected return date to the department of June 30, but as of today,
Detective Hynes will have used all
of his paid sick time, personal time,
vacation time and comp time
which will leave him the option of
going on disability.
He told council members that
the $500 disability payment per
week that he would receive wouldn’t be enough for his himself, his
wife and three children to live of
off.
Detective Hynes met with the
mayor and council behind closed
doors on Tuesday night, though no
formal conclusion was reached.
“Detective Hynes is a valuable
employee going through a person-

al difficulty right now,” said Mayor
Martin Konkus.
The mayor said that while he
couldn’t comment directly because
the matter was a personnel issue,
the borough council was doing its
best to make sure Detective Hynes
did not suffer either physically or
financially.
“We are bound by the [police]
contract that was negotiated by
council,” said Mayor Konkus. “We
need to make sure we dot all our i’s
and cross our t’s.
“It’s easier said than done,” he
added.
Borough
Business
Administrator David Maffei said
the issue would also be discussed in
executive session at the regular
meeting of the mayor and council
scheduled for 8 p.m. on June 19.
Detective Hynes’ colleagues —
fellow officers who have worked
beside him — showed up at both
meetings to support him.
Officer Bill Hoffman, a patrolman in Bay Head and also the
Ocean County Conference of the
New Jersey State PBA chairman
and a trustee on the executive
board of the state PBA appeared
before the council last month
pleading with the council to extend
Detective Hynes paid leave.
Officer Hoffman said that there
were municipalities that had allow
employees to pass on sick time and
he noted that state employees are
allowed to give up to ten days of
their own sick time to someone
who has run out of their own.
He said that Detective Hynes
had never abused his leave time,
but hadn’t built up the bank other
officers have been able to because
he had only been on the force for
six years.
Officer Hoffman said if he
could not borrow time for other
employees, an alternative would be
to allow him to use time that he
would bank in the future.
Detective Sgt. Robert Wells, Sr.,
Detective Hynes immediate supervisor also attended both meetings
in support.
“This deals with his health, both
his well being and his family,” he
said.
“He is an extremely dedicated
detective doing great things,” said
Detective Sgt. Wells.
“I understand you have an obligation to the town, but you also
have an obligation to Joe,” he
added.
Detective Sgt. Wells said he
wanted Detective Hynes to come
back to the department at “150percent.”
“I don’t want him to be fully
healed but psychologically damaged because of how this is dealt
with,” he said.
At the initial meeting last
month, Mayor Martin Konkus
said the council was worried about
setting a precedent for other
employees in the future.
Officer Hoffman countered that
the council had the right to act
however they wanted without setting a precedent. He said there was
a similar situation where the same
request had been granted.
Mr. Maffei said the donation of
time is allowed in the county, but
requires a plan to be in place and
approved by an ordinance beforehand.
Councilman John Kaklamanis
recused himself from the discussion because he was previously an
officer in the department who sat
on the committee that negotiated
the current police contracts.
Detective Hynes was unavailable for comment at press time.
CANDICE KENMUIR, The Ocean Star
John McIntyre Jr., and John McIntyre Sr. braved the rain last weekend during the Point Pleasant
Street Fair.
Chamber’s annual street fair
draws thousands to Bridge Ave.
By Melissa Peace
Cloudy skies and the threat
of Tropical Storm Barry did not
keep away the thousands of
fun-seekers from the annual
Point Pleasant Chamber of
Commerce Street Fair this past
Sunday.
The Bridge Avenue event —
which began at 11 a.m. and
lasted until approximately 4:30
p.m. — was a big hit with visitors who were able to enjoy the
food, rides, and entertainment,
according to Faye Maresca of
the Point Pleasant Chamber of
Commerce.
Along with the various kinds
of tasty treats to buy and eat,
the fair also allowed craft vendors and businesses to sell their
products to the wandering
masses.
This
year’s
celebration
brought some new events as
well, including a visit from the
4-H Club and its various animals.
Ms. Maresca said that the 4H tent was filled with animal
lovers throughout the day and
will be returning next year to
the fair’s busy street.
Onlookers at the event were
also able to enjoy the singing
talents of Point Pleasant’s own
CANDICE KENMUIR, The Ocean Star
Emma Lebleboojian, 7, enjoyed a treat at the Point Pleasant
Street Fair while supporting the Point Pleasant Fire Department.
Antonella Barba, who was a
contestant on this year’s
“American Idol.”
The 20-year-old singer belted out cover songs to the crowd
and even performed a duet with
her friend and fellow “American
Idol”
hopeful,
Amanda
Coluccio.
“Antonella was wonderful.
Both the kids and adults loved
her,” said Ms. Maresca. “Before
she sang I asked her why she
was nervous, and she said that it
was because she was going to be
singing for people that she really cares about.”
Ms. Barba’s participation in
the event did not end when the
music stopped though. After
performing, she stayed on to
take photos and sign autographs for the almost 70 fans
that stood in the rain to meet
her. The photos, which were
sold for $2 apiece, raised a total
of $230 for Point Pleasant
Borough High School scholarships.
“Antonella had a lot of
patience with the children who
took pictures with her, even
when we had to change locations to accommodate everyone,” said Ms. Maresca.
Along with the “Idol” performer, the crowd was also
entertained with performances
by the martial arts group Jersey
Shore Aikkai, and the Academy
of Dance and Miss Maryann’s
School of Dance.
The street fair was not only
fun for people, but animals as
well, as the popular pet parade
took to the street yet again.
Sponsored by Umbrino
Construction, the parade was a
huge success and had 22 fourlegged participants, according
to Ms. Maresca.
The top prize winners for
this year’s canine contest went
to Charlotte, a pomeranian mix,
who won best overall; Roxi,
who was voted as best dressed;
Bim, a Russian shepard mix,
who was the largest contestant;
Kip, the most talented of the
bunch; and the best look-alike
prize went to Meline Sobieski
and her chihuahua Tootsie, who
were both dressed as princesses.
Along with its human judges,
the contest was presided over by
one unofficial judge, Buddy, a
Welsh terrier.
Besides looking at them, visitors to the street fair were also
able to purchase their own pets
from a Boy Scout Troop from
New York. The troop was selling baby lizards, something that
was a big hit with the children
at the event.
Next year’s street fair will see
the return of the many funfilled events, and maybe even a
little sunshine.

In an 8-to-1 vote, the Point
Pleasant Board of Adjustment
approved a West End Drive
couple’s revised plan to demolish their home and build a new
one, after denying the application last April.
Gail DeStefano of 1668 West
End Drive and architect, John
Chando, presented the new
designs, in which many alterations were made in order to
meet certain building codes.
Plans before the board in
April were rejected by board
members who complained the
home was oversized for its lot.
Some of these changes
include reducing the flood elevation level to 6 feet instead of
the original 8 feet. There will
also only be one rear yard setback on a corner of the lot,
which was previously described
as “undersized and pie-shaped,”

by Mr. Chando.
It was also added that the
house will not seem unusually
large, a prior concern of the
board.
Another aspect leading to the
board’s approval was the
absence of any opposing neighbors, a factor that influenced
the April decision to deny the
request for the variances.
“There are no objectors here
tonight, and that would have
definitely impacted our decision,” said Chairman Jeff
Schroeder.
Chairman Schroeder’s comment was in reference to John
Keatan, a neighbor of the
DeStefanos, who voiced concerns at the earlier hearing
about any new structures on
the water that would take away
any part of his view.
Board member David Ganim
said a great job was done on redesigning the house and that it
has solved a lot of problems.
Chairman Schroeder also
added that “it was a gorgeous
plan.”
Board
member
Ronald
Seebald gave the only opposing
vote, and did not give a reason
for his decision.

Though there was little question heading into Tuesday’s primaries about the the identity of
the four candidates who will
appear on the ballot in
November for the two vacant
council seats, Point Pleasant residents still headed to the polls this
week to officially endorse their
respective party’s candidates.
In November, Republicans Bill
Dikun and Susan Rogers will
face off against Democratic
incumbent Council President
Shawn McCarthy and former
mayor and councilman Peter
Marone.
According to election results
from the Ocean County Clerk,
Mr. Dikun was the top vote-getter in this week’s elections,
receiving 327 votes. Ms. Rogers
bid for a seat on the governing
body was backed by 306 Point
Pleasant Republicans.
On the opposite end of the
political spectrum, Councilman
McCarthy received the support
of 153 Democrats, and Mr.
Marone garnered 149 votes.
,

Ms. Rogers said she was
extremely excited by the primary
results.
Ray Golden, the president of
the Point Pleasant Republican
Club, said he was encouraged by
the number of GOP voters who
came out to vote in the primary.
“The Dikun Rogers ticket is
really strong,” he said. “They
both come with extensive experience and are just what this town
needs.”
Mr. Golden said Mr. Dikun
and Ms. Rogers are the first slate
of candidates he can recall to
receive the Republican club’s
unanimous support.
Ms. Rogers said she and Mr.
Dikun are already active in
almost every facet of the community and government function.
“I want to start to strongly
apply fiscal discipline and find
alternative options for funding,”
she said, adding this would help
control tax increases in years to
come.
She said she also would like to
help restore residents’ belief in
their local government.
alongside Mr. Marone, a veteran
of Point Pleasant politics.
“We bring to the table over 15
years of experience,” he said.
Councilman McCarthy is
seeking his second term on council. Mr. Marone served as a
councilman for a total of eight
years, from 1974 to 1978 and
again from 1989 to 1991. He was
also the mayor from 1979 to
1982.
“I am happy with the voter
turnout,” said Councilman
McCarthy. “I look forward to a
good campaign.”
He said he was waiting for the
campaign season to get in full
swing now.
“I would like to be re-elected
to continue the good work we
have been doing,” Councilman
McCarthy added.
“It seems like everything is not
as rosy as it appears to be. I want
to see that [Point Pleasant] continue to be a great town,” said
Mr. Marone when asked why he
was running for election.
He said he also feels he owes
something to the borough
Two-car accident ends in
Herbertsville Road backyard
By Melissa Peace
A Herbertsville Road homeowner had an unexpected visitor
last month — after a two-car
accident forced one of the vehicles involved in the collision
through a stockade fence and
into the backyard of the home.
According to Lt. Richard
Larsen of the Point Pleasant
Police Department, the May 22
incident began with a minor
traffic accident involving vehicles driven by Margaret
Landrain, 88, of Lakewood, and
James J. Bird, 81, of Toms River.
The lieutenant said Mr. Bird
was driving on Barton Avenue,
after stopping for the stop sign,

“We know we can restore their
faith in government,” she added.
“We share their values.”
Ms. Rogers said she has done a
lot of work within the borough
and would like to continue, and
added her business and finance
background would be helpful to
the council.
“I feel terrific,” she said.
“[Myself and Mr. Dikun] are
young candidates with fresh
ideas. We are new blood in the
water.”
She said she and her running
mate plan on running a campaign based on issues and credentials.
“It’s time for fresh views and a
fresh outlook,” Mr. Dikun added.
“We will be a couple of new folks
jumping in and rolling up our
sleeves.”
Mr. Dikun said he was also
excited about having Ms. Rogers
as a running mate.
“She is wonderful, outstanding
and as tenacious as they can be,”
he said.
Councilman McCarthy was
just as excited to be running
because it is where both his children were educated and grandchildren are now being raised.
“I want to contribute as much
as I can to the betterment,” he
added.

teaching this year’s fifth-graders
tools to stay drug-, alcohol-,
smoke- and violence-free — the
newest group of Point Pleasant
D.A.R.E. graduates walked
across the stage receiving their
certificates this week.
The annual D.A.R.E. graduations at the borough’s two elementary schools is the culmination of a half-year program that
is taught by Lt. Michael Colwell
from the Point Pleasant Borough
Police Department.
Ocean Road School Assistant
Principal Shelia Buck said the
program was an important building block in the children’s education.
“It teaches you how to be
strong and make strong choices,”
she told the students at the start
of the ceremony on Wednesday
morning.
Lt. Colwell greeted the
D.A.R.E. graduates at the graduation ceremony and commended them on their efforts in the
program.
“You deserve your certificates,” he said. “You worked very
hard for them. You are shining
examples of our future.”
He said the day was both a
special one and a sad one.

Point Rotary honors self-esteem
poster contest winners
By Jessica Stenstrom
Each year, the Point Pleasant
Rotary Club partners with the
school district’s fifth grade
D.A.R.E. program and sponsors
a poster contest that inspires students to create a work of art
affirming the importance of having high self-esteem.
One winner is chosen from
each of the district’s two elementary schools and the design is
recreated poster size and then
framed and hung in its school’s
hallway.
This year’s grand prize winners were Jack DeFelice, a student in Maryann Cavanaugh’s
Ocean Road classroom and
Katelynn Flahery, a student in
Beth Gentile’s Nellie Bennett
classroom.
Rotary
Club
President
Barbara Santoro said this year
judging the posters was the
toughest in the 12 years the contest had been running.
“Self-esteem is key,” she said.

Both winning students, their
families and teachers were at
Wednesday night’s Rotary Club
meeting where they were guests
of honor.
In addition to the dinner and
the posters being hung at their
respective schools, both students
were also award a $250 deposit
into a 529 savings plan that will
be opened in each of their
names.
Lt. Michael Colwell, the
D.A.R.E. officer who teaches
weekly in each school’s fifth
grade classrooms, thanked all the
rotary members.
“You are seeing two shining
stars,” he said. “These students
are two examples of many, many
more at these two schools.”
Ms. Cavanaugh said Jack was
the first poster contest winner in
her career as a fifth grade teacher
at the borough.
“He is a very enthusiastic student. Always full speed ahead,”
she said.
She added that he had his
hand up every time Lt. Colwell
had asked a question in class.
Ms. Gentile said the poster
contest seemed easy for Katelynn
because of her dedication as a
student.
“She believes in herself 100percent,” she added.
Ms. Gentile said this was her
first year teaching in the district
and she was amazed by the
D.A.R.E. program.
“What [Lt. Colwell] does is
amazing,” she said. “It carries
through to the next day.”
Ms. Gentile said students hold
the door for each other and walk
with their head and shoulders
held high.
“You can see the difference
[the program makes],” she
added.
Jack said his inspiration for
the poster came from Lt.
Colwell’s teachings.
“All of his teachings inspire
me to do better and get as far as
I can,” he said.
Katelynn said that she was
thinking of all the things she
would like to be when she grows
up when she drew her poster.
“Those are all the things I
want to be,” she said of her
poster that depicts a girl daydreaming about possible career
paths such as a basketball player.

A letter to the editor written
by Jack Kennell that appeared in
the May 18 issue of The Ocean

husband of Point Pleasant Board
of Education President Joan
Speroni, is employed as a

Mr. Speroni said his franchise

Borough
Library “Meet the Artist
Reception,” has entertained a
long career in the arts, with her
roots beginning in dance.
After studying at The
Julliard School of Music,
Dance Division, as a young
woman, Mrs. Mahalick went
on to perform with the
Metropolitan Ballet company.
She continued to dance until
she married and started a family when she was in her 20s.
It wasn’t until the late 1980s
when the mother of three
began any formal paint training.
While living in Bucks
County, Penn., Mrs. Mahalick
studied oil painting in the
evenings at the local community college. Her skills were
developed under Behrooz
Salimnejad,
the
former
Premier Artist of the Shah of
Iran and current Director of
Art Restoration at the
Philadelphia Museum of Art,
who she describes as an “exceptionally fine teacher.”
After having a successful
career working as a commercial
interior designer with the
Design West Coast Co., Mrs.
Mahalick took over her husband’s business after his passing in 1990. During this time
she used her painting skills as a
relaxing outlet and stressreliever.
Mrs. Mahalick’s “long-lasting hobby” is now being shared
with local residents as they are
displayed in the Ocean County
College Senior Citizen’s Art
Exhibit, along with her Guestof -Honor meet and greet
event at the library.
Mrs. Mahalick said that it
was such a compliment being
asked to show her work, and
although they are on display,
the artist will not be selling the
paintings, all of which she
“treasures.”
Eighteen pieces will be displayed at the event and span
many different artistic styles
including impressionistic, realistic and some classic paintings.
Visitors will also be able to
enjoy her “eclectic” still-life,
landscapes, seascapes and portraits, which will be on display
during the month of June.
One piece, titled, “The
Secret Garden,” shows the
artist’s love for color and
foliage, featuring a little girl
amongst nature.
Although most of her
favorites will be featured in the
event, her prized painting will
remain at home hanging in her
living room. The piece is one
she painted of her husband and
their dog in a sailboat. It could
not be brought to the library
because of its size and frame.
Mrs. Mahalick’s displayed
work spans her time as a
painter, and even includes her
first painting, which was done
when she was 16 and is called
“The Bandit.”
“It is a watercolor of a man,
and I had to draw something
to cover his face because I didn’t know how to draw noses
yet,” Mrs. Mahalick laughed.
The event is sponsored by
The Friends of the Point
Pleasant Borough Library.
It will be held in the meeting room of the library at 834
Beaver Dam Road from 2 to 4
p.m. on Saturday, June 9.

Lending library
comes to boro hall
By Melissa Peace
The Mantoloking Book
Committee has acquired a small
area in borough hall to create a
recycling library.
Residents will be able to
donate their old books to the
collection or pick up something
to read while on their way to
the beach or visiting the post
office, said Councilwoman
Beth Nelson.
She also said that the library
is, “a wonderful way to recycle
books, because there is nothing
worse than throwing out a good
book.”
The informal borrowing
library is now open for visitors
to stop in and choose their read,
with some, especially the condensed
Reader’s
Digests,
already flying off the shelves.
There are no time constraints
to how long a borrower can
have books, but organizers hope
that with every book taken out,
another will be donated by the
reader.
According to Councilwoman
New York Bagel
Nelson, there is an eclectic collection of about 50 books that
have already been donated,
including a large amount of
mystery novels.
For some, this borrowing
library may offer a chance to
save some time by not having to
travel outside the town to a
library or bookstore.
“Mantoloking is a small
town, so what’s nicer than to be
able to just stop by on your way
to somewhere and get a book,”
said Councilwoman Nelson.
The book committee is seeking best-sellers, new and old,
biographies, and classics.
Because space is limited, college textbooks, oldies but goodies that should have gone to
paper recycling years ago, and
magazines cannot be accepted.
extradition to Hudson County.
• On May 13, a check of a suspicious vehicle at an Ocean
Avenue residence resulted in the

She was also issued a summons for driving while her
license was suspended and was
released after posting bail.
• During the first half of May,
Mantoloking officers made four
additional warrant arrests, four
summons were issued for driving
with a suspended license and one
was written for a construction
ordinance violation.

Antrim says farewell to cop with ‘Spader Day’ event
By Brian McGinn
For the last six years, Point
Pleasant Beach Police Officer
Brian Spader has called the hallways and classrooms of the G.
Harold Antrim Elementary
School home while serving as
the school resource officer and
the DARE officer at the K-8
school.
During his time at the school,
‘Spader,’ as the kids call him, has
become a part of the school
community.
But this week marks the end
of an era for both the school and
Officer Spader after he
announced that he is leaving his
post at the Antrim School and
returning to beat patrol with the
Point Pleasant Beach Police
Department.
To show its gratitude to
Officer Spader, the entire school
community at the Antrim
School gathered outside the
school Wednesday afternoon to
give him a proper send-off.
The
celebration,
called
Officer Spader Day, featured
performances by each grade level
and the Antrim School band.
As the Antrim students gathered outside on a beautiful,
sunny afternoon, they walked
past a giant farewell banner
made by the eighth grade students.
As they sat in a semi-circle
around a podium and chair that
would eventually house Officer
Spader, the students held small,
paper masks up in front of their
faces that contained a copy of
the police officer’s high school
year book picture from his senior
year at Point Pleasant Beach
High School.
Finally, after screaming his
name, Officer Spader emerged
from the school building to the
delight and applause of the
buzzing crowd of students and
staff.
Each of the school’s eighth
grade classes entertained Officer
Spader with a song, dance or
skit, all following the “we will
miss you Officer Spader theme.”
A highlight of the afternoon
came when students from the
first grade class, glitter in hand,
chased the police officer around,
covering him in gold and silver
glitter, which drew excited
cheers from the other students.
But after the performances
ended, an emotional Officer
Spader, still covered in glitter,

of some light-hearted fun Wednesday afternoon as the G.
Harold Antrim Elementary School community said goodbye to
the long-time DARE and School Resource Officer.
stepped to the podium and said
goodbye to the Antrim School
community.
“Some of you may be sad that
I am leaving, and some of you
might not be, but what you will
find in life is that people come
and go, but hopefully you take
something from them with you
when they leave,” Officer Spader
said. “I think I am coming away
from this experience as a better
person … I will always be there
for all of you.”
Officer Spader also thanked
Point Pleasant Beach Police
Chief Daniel DePolo, Capt.
Kevin O’Hara and Lt. Chip
DiCorcia who helped get the
Student
Resource
Officer
[SRO] and DARE programs
started in Point Pleasant Beach.
He also thanked a number of
members of the school community, including Principal Tom
O’Hara, Sandy Pasola, Kathy
Fioretti, Pat Lyons, Rick
Harmon and all the secretaries
and teachers.
“Thank you all for supporting
me and allowing me to come
into your school,” Officer

entire family!

Spader said. “We came here to
break down barriers with the
kids and I think we have done
that.”
But most of all, Officer
Spader thanked all of the teachers at the Antrim School for
their support over the last six
years.
“All of you accepted me as one
of your own,” he said. “I respect
you and what you do for a living,
it is the hardest job in the
world.”
And as he had many times
before, Officer Spader left the
children of the G. Harold
Antrim Elementary School with
a message on Wednesday afternoon.
“Don’t ever let anyone make
you do something that you know
is wrong,” Officer Spader said. “I
learned a lot from all of you and
I have been truly blessed to have
met you all.
“When life gets tough, believe
in yourself,” Officer Spader said,
concluding the ceremony with a
round of applause and cheers
from both students and teachers.
Point Pleasant Beach Police
Sgt. Matthew Duffy will serve as
the new SRO and DARE officers at the Antrim School. Sgt.
Duffy is a 14-year veteran of the
police department and said he is
very excited about his new role.
Fellow-SRO, Andy Gunning,
who patrols the halls of Point
Pleasant Beach High School,
said he was sad to see Officer
Spader leave.
“Its kind of an end of an era,”
Officer Gunning said. “We
started this thing together and
now he is leaving.”
But Officer Spader will not be
too far away.
“I still have 17 years before I
can retire and the town is only 1square mile big, so I won’t be
far,” he joked. “Anytime you
want to talk about the Eagles or
wrestling, let me know, I will be
glad to take a day off of work.”

Uncontested Point Beach
primary yields no surprises
By Brian McGinn
There are two, three-year
terms on the governing body in

Point Pleasant Beach
OEM wants residents
to prepare for storms
By Brian McGinn
One week ago today, the 2007
hurricane season officially
began. And even though the
coast of New Jersey has not been
directly hit by a major hurricane
in decades, local officials do not
want residents to get complacent
about the dangers lurking in the
Atlantic Ocean.
This week, Point Pleasant
Beach Office of Emergency
Management [OEM] officials
offered residents several tips on
how to better prepare for a
storm or other disaster and what
to do when a storm arrives.
“We want to remind residents
that while we have not been
directly impacted by a storm in a
number of years, that dangerous
possibility is still there,” said
Point Pleasant Beach Police
Chief
and
Emergency
Management
Coordinator
Daniel DePolo. “They have to
be prepared.”
One way the chief said local
residents can get prepared for a
possible or imminent storm
event is to keep the lines of
communication open.
Recently, Point Pleasant
Beach Police Ptl. Kyle Grace,
the deputy emergency management coordinator, and other
members of the OEM, created a
local AM radio frequency for
emergencies, 1630 on the AM
dial.
Chief DePolo said the radio
frequency is the main source of
information for members of the
public looking for emergency
information.
“We are hoping to get people
in tune with it,” Chief DePolo
said. “It is a valuable source for
information during an emergency.”
According to Officer Grace,
the radio frequency can be
uploaded from a cellular phone
and has the ability to offer information about storms, evacuations, power outages and other
important information during
an emergency.
In addition, the AM radio
station can be used for public
safety service announcements,
such as road closings or fireworks display information.
“The radio station has been
very helpful,” Chief DePolo
Brielle’s Bar & Restaurant
OPEN
7 DAYS
LUNCH &
DINNER
A Meeting Of The Minds
said. “We just want people to be
aware of it and how useful it can
be in an emergency situation.”
In order to further get the
word out about AM 1630, the
borough will soon place signs
throughout town with flashing
lights on them that will go on
when there is an urgent message
on the radio station, informing
residents to tune in.
Besides knowing what is happening during a storm event,
Chief DePolo said it is also
important for residents to take
action, especially before a storm
hits.
One way residents can prepare for a storm event is to make
a preparedness disaster supply
kit.
“This should always be done
well in advance of any emergency,” Chief DePolo said. “You
never know when a storm is
going to hit. If you have this kit
made-up before, you are already
prepared.”
The typical preparedness disaster supply kit contains water,
at least one gallon, per person,
per day, and at least a three day
supply; canned goods and a nonelectric can opener; clothing;
blankets; a first aid kit containing any prescription medication;
flashlight; credit cards and cash;
an emergency phone contact list
and any other special needs
items specific to individuals.
Even with the kit, Chief
DePolo said it is important for
residents to have a plan should a
major storm hit.
“You have to have your own
individual plan,” he said. “Have
something in place where you
will go stay with a family member who is out of harms way.
“You should only rely on staying at a shelter if it is the last
resort,” the chief added.
For those residents with special needs, such as life support or
other medical conditions that do
not allow them to easily get out
of their homes, Ptl. Grace said
they can call the police station at
732-892-0500, ext. 163, to make
individual arrangements.
“You never know what year is
going to be the year we get a big
storm,” Chief DePolo said. “We
just want to make sure our residents are prepared and informed
in the event of an emergency.”

emergency preparedness, please

Beach Chamber prepares for
cars to cruise into downtown
By Brian McGinn
Downtown Point Pleasant
Beach is usually crowded with
shoppers on Friday evenings in
the summer, looking for that
perfect vacation keepsake.
But later tonight the sounds
of shoppers hurrying along
Arnold and Bay avenues will be
replaced with the roar of welltuned muscle cars when the
Point Pleasant Beach Chamber
of Commerce hosts its second
Classic Car Cruise of the summer season.
Car, truck and motorcycle
owners from all over Ocean
County will wash and wax their
machines and cruise into Point
Pleasant Beach to show off
their classic automobiles.
The cars, trucks and bikes
will be in Point Pleasant Beach
from 5 to 8 p.m., for the enjoyment of car enthusiasts and
novices alike.
“Everyone really likes our car
cruises,” said Point Pleasant
Beach Chamber of Commerce
Administrator Director Dotti
Day. “It is just a nice, hometown atmosphere.”
Ms. Daly said that because of
that hometown feeling, many
COASTAL LINEN SUPPLY
of the classic car owners come
back to Point Pleasant Beach
again and again.
“I think they just like the
quaint feel of the town,” Ms.
Daly said. “Its just a real
friendly type of event.”
Tonight’s car cruise, which is
being sponsored by DeFelice
Chevrolet, is the second event
of the summer. Despite last
month’s cruise being held on a
Sunday evening, Ms. Daly said
there was still a large crowd of
car owners and car enthusiasts
in attendance.
“It was actually really good,”
she said. “We have over 100
cars, probably close to 120 cars
there … we are hoping for
more this week.”
Because the classic car owners who participate in the event
sign up on the night of the
cruise, Ms. Daly said car owners are constantly calling the
chamber of commerce office in
the days leading up to the
cruise asking about it.
“They want to know what it’s
like, how many cars go, we
always tell them to come down
and have a good time,” Ms.
Daly said.
With a full slate of events
scheduled for tonight, visitors

UNWANTED FLUID BUILDUP
A hydrocele is a buildup of
watery fluid around one or both
testicles that causes the scrotum
to swell. While this condition is
usually neither painful nor dangerous, it can be unsightly. This
problem, which is common in
newborns, occurs when the tract
through which the testicles
descend from the abdomen into
the scrotum does not close. This
allows peritoneal fluid to drain
from the abdomen through the
open tube and accumulate in the
scrotum. In most cases, hydroceles disappear a few months after
birth. When a hydrocele develops in an adult, it is usually due
to inflammation, trauma, or fluid
blockage within the spermatic
cord. If the hydrocele causes discomfort, aspiration or surgery
may be recommended.
Urologists are medical doctors
who specialize in the diagnosis
and treatment of diseases involving urinary systems in men and
women. At our office, we specialize in kidney stone treatment,
vasectomy and vasectomy reversal, incontinence as well as disorders of the prostate and fertility. If you would like to learn

Coast Guard reinstates warning flag system
By Brian McGinn
It is one of the most dangerous things that can happen to a
boater — whether it be a casual seaman or an experienced
captain — getting caught at sea
in a storm can spell disaster for
even the most sturdy of vessels.
In order to better prepare
departing ships for the weather
they may encounter once in the
open seas, the United States
Coast Guard has re-established
its storm flag program.
The program — which originated more than 100 years ago
and was disbanded in 1989 —
“visually communicates that
citizens should take personal
responsibility for individual
safety in the face of an
approaching storm,” according
to Coast Guard officials.
The Global Warning Display
program will be put into effect
at “small boat stations”
throughout the United States,
such as Coast Guard Station
Manasquan Inlet in Point
Pleasant Beach, and will be
used to warn the public of an
approaching storm.
The system works by using a
series of red flags, some with
symbols, that are raised when
certain weather conditions
exist.
Photo courtesy of Petty Officer First Class Kyle Niemi
The United States Coast Guard recently re-established its
Coastal Warning Display program. The program uses flags to
warn boaters of expected or current weather conditions.
For example, if a Coast
Guard station raises a single
red flag, that means there is a
small craft advisory. The flag is
used to alert boaters that sustained weather or sea conditions are either present or forecasted and could be hazardous
to small boats. A small craft
advisory means there are winds
of 21-38 mph present.
If a Coast Guard station
raises two red flags it means
there is a gale warning and
winds of 39-54 mph are present.
If a red flag with a single
black square in the center is
raised, it means there is a storm
warning and winds of 55-73
mph are present.
If a Coast Guard station
raises two red flags, each with a
single black square in the center, it means there is a hurricane warning and a combination of high winds, high water
and rough seas are expected in
the
next
12-24
hours.
Hurricanes contain winds of
over 74 mph.
According to Coast Guard
officials, the re-establishment
of the Coastal Warning Display
program “re-enforces the Coast
Guard’s role as lifesavers.”

The Legend Continues with a

Built for a Lifetime.
By Andrea Agardy
On Sunday, June 17 local
police officers and volunteer firefighters will take the field the
fourth annual Badges for Charity
softball game.
In keeping with tradition, the
game will be played on Father’s
Day at FirstEnergy Park, home
of the Lakewood BlueClaws, the
A minor league affiliate of the
Philadelphia Phillies.
In addition to pitting police
officers from Bay Head,
Mantoloking, Point Pleasant and
Point Pleasant Beach against the
volunteer members of both Point
Pleasant Beach fire companies,
the Father’s Day showdown will
also continue another Badges for
Charity tradition — using the
game as a fund-raiser for a local
cause.
In the past, proceeds from the
event have been donated to a
Point Pleasant girl who was battling a rare form of cancer and
the Sgt. Alan D. Sherman
Detachment of the Marine
Corps League, which meets at
the VFW Post in Point Pleasant
Beach.
The recipient of the proceeds
from this year’s game will be the
same as last year, Brick Township
residents Michael and Michelle
Fox and their family.
Two of Mr. and Mrs. Fox’s
children — Kaliann and Tyler, 4
— were both been diagnosed
with
Neuronal
Ceroid
Lipofuscinoses [NCL], a group
of rare, inherited neurodegenerative disorders that usually begins

Cpl. George Duffy, a Bay
Head police officer who has
helped organize the softball
game since its inception, said
many of the players are fathers
themselves, which made the
decision to use the proceeds generated by the game to help a
child in need an easy one.
He said last year’s game raised
approximately $4,500 for the Fox
family, a mark he hopes to match
— if not better — this year.
Tickets for the game are $10
apiece, and include admission to
the BlueClaws’ game against the
Delmarva team, which begins at
1 p.m. The first pitch in the
Badges for Charity game will be
thrown following the BlueClaws’
matchup.
Cpl. Duffy said the game provides an opportunity for people
searching for the perfect Father’s

ballpark while, at the same time,

He also thanked the community for supporting the game
throughout its history, including
local businesses like Joe Leone’s,
which is donating food for the
players’ post-game party. Cpl.

Primary results bring no surprises in Bay Head
By Andrea Agardy
Unlike the local primaries in
Mantoloking and Point Pleasant
Beach [see related stories, page
1], there was no drama or surprises when the ballots were
counted
following
the
Republican and Democratic primaries in Bay Head on Tuesday
night.
As has become something of a
tradition here, this year’s crop of
primary candidates consisted of
incumbent Republicans who ran
uncontested for their party’s
endorsement to remain on the
governing body. No Democrats
filed to run in that party’s local
primary.
Councilmen John DeFilippis
and James Urner easily won the
GOP endorsement to seek reelection, garnering 116 and 114
votes, respectively, according to
figures from the Ocean County
Clerk’s Office.
Also in Tuesday’s voting,
Councilman William Curtis
took his first step toward taking
over as the mayor of Bay Head,
receiving 121 votes in the
Republican Primary. Current
Mayor Arthur Petracco, also a
Republican, decided not to seek
another four-year term and will

The American flag outside
Bay Head Borough Hall will fly
at half-staff until at least the
Fourth of July, in honor of the
thousands of American servicemen and women who have been
killed in the war in Iraq.
The decision was made following a recommendation by
Councilman Robert Ryan, who
stressed that the suggestion
should not be taken by the public as an indication of the governing body taking a political
stance on the war.
“I want to be perfectly clear
this is not a political statement,”
Councilman Ryan said.
The councilman said thousands of American troops have
died in Iraq, and while the support at home for the troops has
been “OK, but it’s not the same
as it has been in other wars.”
Councilman Ryan said Bay
Head has been fortunate not to
lose any of its residents in combat, and said flying the flag at
half-staff would be a public

show of the borough’s support
for the thousands of troops who
have given their lives for their
country.
“I think it’s important we give
them respect and attention since
Bay Head has been so lucky not
to lose anyone,” Councilman
Ryan said. “These people are our
best and our most honorable and
I think they’re being forgotten.”
Councilman Ryan acknowledged that his suggestion was
“unprecedented” and that he was
“sandbagging” some of his colleagues with the suggestion.
While the borough has not
flown its flag at half-staff to
honor the lives lost in other
wars, he said the Iraq war is not
like other wars. He also said he
planned to bring the issue up
with the members of Bay Head
Fire Company No. 1 in an effort
to have the flag outside the firehouse flown at half-staff as well.
The councilman initially suggested lowering the flag for one
hour for each American serviceman and women killed in Iraq
— a time period he said would
stretch well into September —
and asked the other members of
the council for their opinions on
the suggestion.
Councilmen William Curtis,
James
Urner
and
John
DeFilippis quickly agreed.
So did Councilman John
Berko, who added he felt it was
important for the public to
understand that the action was a
tribute to the soldiers who have
lost their lives and not a political
commentary on the war.
Councilwoman Mary Glass
echoed Councilman Berko’s
sentiments.
Since American flags were
hung around town in honor of
Memorial Day and will fly again
on Flag Day, the councilwoman
said she had no objection to
Councilman Ryan’s suggestion,
but wanted to make sure the
public understands why it was
being done.
“I think it should be spoken
about that we’re doing this for
this reason… it’s special intent is
to honor our service people,” she
said. “As long as its for a clear
reason.”
Although Councilman Ryan
initially suggested flying the flag
at half-staff for one hour in
honor of every soldier killed in
the war, by the time the council
voted on the motion, the recommendation had changed to leave
the flag at half-staff through the
Fourth of July.
While Johnson Street resident
Stanley Niedwiecki commended
Councilman Ryan for recommending the tribute, Clayton
Avenue
resident
Victoria
Mastrobuono wondered why the
motion was changed to end the
show of support on the Fourth
of July.
“Why is it only until July 4,”
she asked. “At first it was one
hour for each life [lost].”
Councilman Ryan said he was
under the impression that some
members of the council felt flying the flag at half-staff until
Independence Day was sufficient.
With an average of roughly
15 troops dying every day in the
war, Councilman Ryan said dedicating one hour to every life
given in the war could mean the
flag “may never be raised.”
“Maybe it should be that
way,” Ms. Mastrobuono countered. “They’re still dying.”
Councilman Ryan said the
governing body could revisit the
issue after the Fourth of July and
determine then if the flag should
stay at half-staff for a longer
period of time.

Lavallette
Lavallette introduces $150,000 bond ordinance for tennis courts
By Brian McGinn
The tennis courts along the
bayfront in Lavallette provide
hours of entertainment for residents and guests alike.
But because of the “dire” condition of the courts, one is currently
closed to the public and the second one is quickly approaching
the point where it too will be
closed to public use.
“Something has to be done to
address this, they are in dire
shape,” Councilman
Robert
Lamb said Monday night. “There
are holes, it’s unsafe.”
“This council is at a crossroads,
you need to decide if you are going
to re-commit to the tennis courts
to get them back in order,”
Borough
Administrator
Christopher Parlow said. “This is
way beyond paint … there are
fault lines there.”
In order to address the current
conditions at the tennis courts, the
council unanimously introduced a
bond ordinance Monday night
that will earmark $150,000 to be
used to repair the courts.
The council will repair each
court in a different manner, with
one being resurfaced completely
and the other having a synthetic
overlay placed over the existing
court.
The bond ordinance is expected

On Monday night, the Lavallette Council introduced an ordinance that will allow the bayfront tennis courts to be resurfaced.
to be adopted at the council’s next
meeting, June 18, and there is currently no timetable for when the
work will begin.
In other news from Monday
night’s meeting of the mayor and
council:

Filippone reported that the zoning and code enforcement officer
has been dealing with a number of
property owners that have excessive amounts of signs [such as

She said the zoning and code

Council commits to continue
boardwalk reconstruction work
By Brian McGinn
Several weeks ago, crews from
the Lavallette Department of
Public Works [DPW] hammered
the last nail into the boardwalk at
Philadelphia Avenue, completing
the renovation of the northern
half of the borough’s mile-long
boardwalk.
While the first half of the construction project has been deemed
a success — saving the borough
thousands of dollars — the future
of the project was in question
when the council gathered for its
business meeting Monday night.
Even though the governing
body earmarked $150,000 for
boardwalk improvements in the
2007 municipal budget [see related story] a large chunk of that
money — $85,000 to be specific
— has already been spent on the
repair to the Magee Avenue dock,
which was damaged by a winter
storm.
Prior to voting on the 2007
budget
Monday
night,
Councilwoman Britta Wenzel,
the liaison to the DPW, said she
had some concerns with the future
of the boardwalk reconstruction
project.
“I am dismayed that we have no
continued commitment in this
budget tonight to continue with
the
boardwalk
project,”
Councilwoman Wenzel said. “It is
important to make a financial
commitment to this project.”
Borough
Administrator
Christopher Parlow explained
that the council did make a financial commitment to the project in
the 2007 budget, however those
funds were used for the dock
repair project, which the council
agreed was higher priority.
According to Councilwoman
Wenzel, if the governing body was
to commit another $150,000 to
the boardwalk restoration next
winter, she believes the DPW
could potentially rebuild the entire
southern half of the boardwalk.
“The southern end does not
need as much work,” she said.
“The substructure is in better condition and the work should go
much faster.”
The councilwoman said the
northern half of the boardwalk
was close to 50 years old and
needed a lot of work, while the
southern end of the boardwalk is
just over 10 years old.
“I am concerned that if there is
no commitment tonight, we
would have to wait until a new
council is here in 2008 to get this
done,” Councilwoman Wenzel
said.
Mr. Parlow explained that the
council does have enough money
in a reserve account to put a down
payment on a $150,000 bond
ordinance sometime in the coming months.
“You could do it at your [the
council’s] convenience, but I
would do it sooner rather than
later,” Mr. Parlow said.

Mr. Parlow said that because
the council would have to go out
to bid for lumber and the other
materials necessary to complete
the work, it will take a few months
to get the project going, even if
the council decided to move ahead
with a bond ordinance Monday
night.
Mayor Walter LaCicero said
the council could introduce the
bond ordinance at its next meeting.
“I would like to express my
continued support for the project,” Mayor LaCicero said. “I am
fully behind it and I expect we will
be able to find additional funding
in the fall, but I don’t think we
have to do it tonight.”
Councilwoman Anita Zalom
said she also was in favor of the
project and its continuation south.
“It is important the public
knows that we, as a council, support the boardwalk project,”
Councilwoman Joanne Filippone
said.

slightly from May 2006.
She said the local police department logged 252.5 hours of overtime in May 2007, 22 more hours

Following a number of budget
workshop meetings, a public
hearing and a budget amendment, the governing body in
Lavallette finally adopted its
2007 municipal budget Monday
night by a 5-1 vote. Only
Councilman Joseph Ardito voted
against the budget.
According to figures presented
at previous meetings of the mayor
and council, the 2007 municipal
budget will total $6,449,951.
Of the total budget, the
amount to be raised by taxes in
support of the budget is
$4,332,268. This represents an
approximate $278,000 increase
in the amount of money raised
through taxes as compared to
2006.
To help support the budget,
the council has decided to apply
$580,000 from surplus funds,
leaving the borough’s reserve fund
at approximately $320,000.
The 2007 budget will set a tax
rate of 24.1 cents per $100 of
assessed valuation. A homeowner
with a home assessed at
$650,000, the borough’s average,
will pay approximately $1,566 in
municipal taxes only in 2007, an
approximately $78 increase from
what the same homeowner paid
in 2006.
These figures represent municipal purposes taxes only, and do
not include county or school
taxes.

thoughts on the spending plan.
Councilman Ardito said he
was voting against the budget

could have done more to make
additional cuts to the 2007 budget.
“I'm not sure all the department heads participated in the
efforts to reduce the budget,”
Councilman Ardito said, referring to his request several weeks

regulations on the boardwalk

By Brian McGinn
In the summer months
throughout the Borough of
Lavallette, it is not unusual to
see dozens of people riding
bicycles to and from the beach,
the bayfront and local shops.
While the majority of bicyclists ride with the flow of traffic and follow all other safety
rules, there are some who create
potentially dangerous situations
by riding against traffic, not
stopping at stop signs and
weaving in and out of parked
cars.
According to borough officials, a majority of the problems
occur on Route 35 north, the
borough’s business district.
In order to combat the threat
bicyclists pose to themselves
and others, Lavallette Police
Chief Colin Grant recently
asked the council to consider
expanding the hours that bicycles are allowed on the boardwalk from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Currently, bicycles are not
permitted on the boardwalk
after 10 a.m.
“The reason for this is strictly a safety issue for both the
bicycle riders and vehicular
traffic,” Chief Grant wrote in a
letter addressed to the mayor
and council and signed on May
17.

During Monday night’s
meeting of the mayor and
council, Councilwoman Anita
Zalom said she thought it was
time for Lavallette to consider
making a change to the borough’s boardwalk regulations.
“I think we should try new
things here,” Councilwoman
Zalom said. “I know a lot of
bikers that rush to go to the
boardwalk before 10 a.m. and
it’s not safe.”
The councilwoman said that,
often, the boardwalk is so
crowded prior to the 10 a.m.
cut-off that the boardwalk
becomes unsafe for bicyclists
and walkers because there are so
many people present.
Councilwoman Zalom said
she also believed that by allowing bicycles on the boardwalk
all day, it would cut down on
the amount of bike riders riding
along Route 35 north, therefore
reducing the amount of bicyclists riding dangerously along
the state highway.
However, a number of council members disagreed and said
they felt that allowing bicycles
on the boardwalk throughout
the day would only cause more
problems.
“I have talked to a lot of people who are not in favor of this,”
Councilwoman
Joanne
Filippone said. “The people
that don’t follow the laws now
on Route 35 will continue to
not follow the law up on the
boardwalk.
“Why reward them by giving
them our boardwalk,” she
added.
Councilman
Michael
Stogdill agreed, adding that he

has seen numerous accidents
and near-accidents on the
boardwalk caused by bicyclists.
“I am dead set against this,”
Councilman Robert Lamb said.
“It is a different crowd of people up there after 10 a.m,”
adding that most people that
would ride on the boardwalk
during the day would be carrying surfboards or rushing
around, not taking a leisurely
cruise like those riders that use
the boardwalk prior to 10 a.m.
Councilman Joe Ardito
agreed that the idea of allowing
bicycles on the boardwalk with
no time restrictions was not a
good one.
“I’m one to try new things,
but sometimes when you
change things it ends up causing more problems, which I
think this will do,” Councilman
Ardito said.
Councilwoman Filippone
said that instead of allowing
bicycles to ride on the boardwalk in order to prevent them
from riding dangerously along
Route 35 north, the police
department could implement a
type of ‘click-it or ticket’ program geared toward bicycles.
“I am just concerned because
the same people breaking the
law of Route 35 will be breaking the law on the boardwalk,”
Councilwoman Filippone said.
Borough
Administrator
Christopher Parlow advised the
council that they could discuss
the matter more thoroughly at
the next meeting, but they had
to make some decision in the
near future. The borough’s
boardwalk bicycle regulations
are adopted by the mayor and
council on an annual basis.
But Councilwoman Lamb
did not need more time to discuss the issue and made a
motion to keep the hours that
bicycles are allowed on the
boardwalk the same as they currently are, 6 a.m. to 10 a.m.
Only Councilwoman Zalom
cast a dissenting vote on the
motion.

Wenzel wins Dem nod
to seek state Senate seat
By Brian McGinn
Lavallette
Councilwoman
Britta Wenzel took her first step
toward Trenton on Tuesday after
winning the Democrat primary
to run for the state Senator seat
representing District 10.
The councilwoman, who is
making her first attempt at state
office, garnered 2,152 votes from
supporters throughout the district during an uncontested primary.
Her opponent in November’s
election, Republican incumbent
Sen. Andrew Ciesla, garnered
7,772 votes from District 10 voters during his uncontested primary on Tuesday.
District 10 is made up of Bay

The councilwoman said she
decided to throw her hat into the
ring and run for state office
because she was tired of seeing
state officials talk about problems but offering no real solutions.
“One of the reasons I wanted
to do this is because District 10
is one of my favorite places in the
entire world,” Councilwoman
Wenzel, who has traveled to
such exotic locations as Costa
Rica and Antarctica, said. “I was
born and raised here, this is the
place I am the most passionate
about.”
The councilwoman, a longtime environmental advocate,
said because District 10 is largely a coastal area, it has many
unique characteristics that need
to be addressed on the state level.
Some of the issues at the top
of the priority list for District 10
that she has mentioned in the
past include beach replenishment; dune maintenance; the
condition of heavily trafficked
county roads located in the district; drainage and the public’s
right to access the beach.
She said she also wants to
more forward with action to
ensure New Jersey runs a “clean
government.”
The councilwoman will have
to fight an uphill battle in order
to take control of Trenton for
District 10. Her opponent, Sen.
Ciesla, has been representing
District 10 since 1992.
“Ocean County has changed a
lot since he [Sen. Ciesla] was
first elected,” Councilwoman
Wenzel has said. “After a while,

No surprises in Lavallette primary results
By Brian McGinn
The uncontested primaries for
two, three-year terms on the
council in Lavallette presented
no surprises Tuesday night, with
the two Republican incumbents
and the lone Democratic candidate receiving their parties’
respective bids to run for the
council in November.
The top vote-getter on the
GOP side of the aisle was
incumbent Councilman Robert
Lamb, who is seeking his second
consecutive term on the governing body. The councilman
received 209 votes.
Fellow incumbent Republican
Councilman Michael Stogdill,
who filled the unexpired term of
Mayor Walter LaCicero, is seeking his first full term on the governing
body.
Councilman
Stogdill received 194 votes.
On the Democratic side of the
aisle, local political newcomer
Marie Lough, who is seeking her
first term on the governing body,
received 39 votes, ensuring her
place on the ballot in November.
With the primary behind
them, all three candidates will
look toward November and will
begin campaigning for the two,
three-year seats on the governing
body.

O Holy St. Jude, Apostle and Martyr,
great in virtue and rich in miracles,
near Kinsman of Jesus Christ, faithful intercessor of all who invoke your
special patronage in time of need, to
you I have recourse from the depth of
my heart and humbly beg to whom
God has given such great power to
come to my assistance. Help me in
my present and urgent petition. In
return, I promise to make your name
known and cause you to be invoked.

Marys and Glorias. Publication must

decisions that I thought were
right, I was not pressured and
that is the most important
thing.”
The mayor declined to identify the specific special interest
groups to which he referred.
Tuesday’s defeat, at least for
the time being, signals the end
of Mayor Vogel’s political
career. However, on Wednesday
he said he may consider running for office again in the
future.
“Who knows what the future
will hold,” he said. “Maybe in
January of 2008 I will see where
things are going.”
Two candidates that do know
where things are going are
Councilman DiCicco and Mr.
Barrella, who will face off in
November to see who becomes
the next mayor of Point
Pleasant Beach.
Councilman DiCicco, 48, has
lived in Point Pleasant Beach
since 1992 and currently resides
on Central Avenue with his
wife, Dawn. The couple has two
children, Katie, 17 and
Madeleine, 13.
The councilman attended
Seton Hall University where he
earned both his undergraduate
degree and his juris doctorate.
He is currently a partner with
the law firm of Bathgate,
Wegner & Wolfe, Lakewood.
Mr. Barrella, 55, has lived in
Point Pleasant Beach on a fulltime basis since 1994, though
he bought the home he currently lives in on Niblick Street in
1985.
He and his wife, Barbara,
have three children, Melissa, 26,
Michael, 23, and Richard, 17.
Mr. Barrella earned his
B.B.A. in accounting from Pace
University, his juris doctorate
from Fordham University
School of Law and his L.LM in
taxation from the New York
University School of Law.
In addition, he has been
admitted to the bar in the state
of New York and for the United
States Tax Court.
Mr. Barrella is currently a
professor at Pace University,
instructing courses in the
department of legal studies and
taxation. He also works as an
attorney in New York City,
where he specializes in tax litigation and represents many of
his clients before the Internal
Revenue Service.
also taught in both the Toms
River School District and at a
private Catholic school prior to
that.
“All together I have worked
in the educational field for 32
years,” he said.
Though Mr. Staryak will no
longer be a high school educator, he will still help broaden
the minds of students.
He said he currently is a master thesis advisor at Georgian
Court University, and he will
also begin to teach graduate
level courses in education at
The College of New Jersey.
“I did middle school [education]. I did high school [education]. Now I am going to concentrate on college,” said Mr.
Staryak. “I am getting the
whole spectrum.”
As Mr. Staryak retires from
his career as high school principal he also plans to spend more
time with his family. He lives in
Toms River with his wife, Mary.
The couple has two children,
Michael, 26, who is a bank
manager and Kristen, 23, who
works in New York City as the
coordinator of client relations
for a company that produces
hair and skin care products.
Mr. Staryak said he also plans
to spend more time doing the
things he enjoys.
“I have to arrange it so I am
not too busy,” he said. “I need to
achieve the right balance
between how active I want to be
in my leisure time.”
Among the top activities that
Mr. Staryak will attempt to juggle are golf, playing piano and
guitar and writing.
“I am an avid golfer,” he said.
Mr. Staryak said he owns
property at St. James Plantation
in North Carolina where there
are four different golf courses.
He said he plans to move
there permanently within the
next two years, though he
would still own property in
New Jersey so he and his wife
could visit and be with their
children.
Mr. Staryak also plans to
work on his music with the
extra time he has. He said he
plays both the guitar and piano
and had even played for the students at some of the school’s
chorus concerts.
He said he would like to do
more song writing and possibly
even do some local performances.
Another thing Mr. Staryak
would like to expand is his writing. He said he has written several short stories and has one
that he would like to expand
into a novel.
Mr. Staryak quoted Bob
Dylan, “If between the time you
wake up and go to bed, you are
doing what you want to do, you
are successful.
“I have always been fortunate
enough to have that,” said Mr.
Staryak.

DELIVERY DRIVERS PAY FOR GAS
Editor, The Ocean Star:
I am a college student that has been delivering pizza
at a local restaurant for the past two years. It has recently come to my attention that a lot of people are unaware
of the fact that we pay for our own gas. When I receive
a small tip from a customer it sometimes cancels out the
gas I used driving to their house. So I am asking that the
readers spread the word that stiffing a delivery driver
hurts extra at a time when gasoline is $3 a gallon. So
please fatten up your tips or order your food to go.

P OINT PLEASANT MAKES WOUNDED SOLDIERS FEEL
WELCOME
Editor, The Ocean Star:
On May 18, Armed Forces Day, Point Pleasant was
visited by 10 of our wounded warriors from Walter Reed
Army Medical Center, Washington D.C., who spent a
weekend at the Jersey Shore. So many people and places
helped make that weekend a success. Each and every
soldier told me that our town made them feel welcome
and they were so appreciative of the friendliness shown
to them. Despite the rain of that Saturday evening, a
good time was had by all.
I’d like to thank the following, without them, the
weekend wouldn’t have happened: White Sands, VFW,
Moose Lodge, Loretta Ann, Point Pleasant Packing
Dock, Arrowhead Inn, All Shore Beverage, Luigi’s,
Frankie’s, Europa South, Bay Point Market, Muellers
Bakery, Shore Fresh, The Ark, The Country Bakery,
Natures Rewards, Broadway Bar & Grill, Fisherman’s
Co-op, Boardwalk Bar & Grill and Ed Austin and his
band. I am sure many others helped.
Thank you all for welcoming these young men and
women. They are looking forward to another trip!

BARRELLA THANKS VOTERS FOR THEIR SUPPORT
Editor, The Ocean Star:
I would like to thank all those who turned out to vote
in the June 5 primary. I will do my best to earn the trust
that you have shown in me.
Thanks also to all those who helped in my campaign.
Without their support, advice and hard work Tuesday
would not have been possible.
I would also like to extend my congratulations to
Republican council candidates Kris Tooker and Ray
Cervino and to the Democrat mayoral and council candidates as well. Finally, while Tom Vogel did not prevail
in the primary election, his is a record of service to our
community that anyone can and should be proud of.

FIRST AID VOLUNTEERS & P OLICE D O H EROIC WORK
EVERY DAY
Editor, The Ocean Star:
In our busy lives, we often forget to say thank you to
people we might not know by each name, but their faces
are forever etched in our memories. My daughter, Amy,
was in a bike accident over Memorial Day weekend. The
volunteers of our first aid squad responded quickly as
well as the police department. They were able to transport her to the hospital with such care and compassion.
A special thank you to two off-duty officers, Frank Finn
and Mark Drew of the Point Pleasant Beach Police
Department who just happened to be riding by. They
were the first ones there, and they stopped immediately
to help her.
This not the first time we have called upon the first
aid and police department for help. We are sorry we
might have forgotten to write a thank you note before,
but we will never forget the wonderful care you gave our
daughter.
Thank you again and you will all be in our prayers for
all the untold heroic work you do each and every day.

H ELP BRING BACK THE OSPREY TO POINT BEACH
Editor, The Ocean Star:
The
Point
Pleasant
Beach
Environmental
Commission has received a grant from Verizon to construct and install an osprey nesting platform on Gull
Island and potentially one at the bird sanctuary on
Ocean Avenue. While Verizon will be covering the
material costs, a few volunteers are needed to help in this
exciting project. The entire project should take no more
than two days and volunteers of all ages are welcome to
contribute whatever time they can. This is a great individual, group or family undertaking and an important
contribution to help continue the increase in Osprey
populations on the Jersey coast. Those interested can
contact Pete Ritchings, project lead, at [732]899-5024 or
pritchings@emg-environmental.com.

Twenty-five Years Ago
• Point Pleasant Beach Borough Attorney William
McGlynn was the bearer of welcome news last week
when he announced to council members that a ruling in
favor of the borough concerning pay to special officers
was upheld by the state supreme court.
McGlynn said the ruling “saved the borough hundreds of thousands of dollars” and also protected other
shore municipalities who hire special officers from having to pay such fees as well.
• Exercising his right of veto for the first time since
taking office in 1978, Point Pleasant Mayor Peter A.
Marone came out against an ordinance that would
make it mandatory to separate newspapers, books and
magazines from other trash, under penalty of a fine for
noncompliance.
Ten Years Ago
• Although plans for a full-day kindergarten remain
among the top three priorities in the 1997-98 school
year, Bay Head Board of Education members admitted
on Tuesday evening that the program probably will not
be implemented next January.
“We’ve looked at the research and there are a variety
of issues, such as a science lab, a guidance counselor and
the full-day kindergarten,” said board member Roberta
Burcz. “We are juggling priorities and have been working to improve the curriculum and our programs.
Unfortunately, we are unable to offer all things.”
One Year Ago Today
• In a Republican primary that may very well have
decided who will be the next mayor of Lavallette,
Councilman Walter LaCicero captured a convincing victory over former councilman Brick Wenzel Tuesday.
According to numbers provided by Lavallette Borough
Administrator and Municipal Clerk Christopher Parlow,
Councilman LaCicero, 47 — running with the backing of
current Mayor Thomas Walls, who decided not to seek reelection this year — received 331 votes, while Mr. Wenzel
received 99 votes.
• On Tuesday, Mantoloking Republicans selected
Councilman George Nebel, over Mayor William K.
Dunbar, to represent the party in November’s mayoral
election in a GOP primary that saw an unusually high
voter turnout.
According to results provided by the Ocean County
Clerk’s office, Councilman Nebel defeated incumbent
Mayor Dunbar by nearly a 2-1 ratio, garnering 149 votes
to Mayor Dunbar’s 86.

— TESTING —
From Page 1
anyone for at least three years.”
Councilman DeFilippis also
said the borough does not incur
any expenses through the water
sampling and testing other than
the cost of the public works
employee devoting nearly an
entire work day to completing the
task.
Councilman John Berko asked
Borough Clerk Patricia Applegate
if she recalled why the water testing program was started, but the
clerk indicated that she did not
know.
Councilman Berko said he
would not object to discontinuing
the practice “as long as the county
or state does not require it.”
The council could discuss reinstating the program if some county or state agency requires it,
Councilman Berko added.
After a few more minutes of the
discussion
on
the
issue,
Councilman
Berko
asked
Councilman DeFilippis to hold
off asking for a vote on the suggestion until the environmental commission has an opportunity to
determine if a mandate was handed down at some point in the past
requiring the borough to take the
weekly water samples. Or, he said,
the council could vote on a motion
to end the sampling as long as it is
determined that Bay Head is not
required to continue the practice.
Councilman
DeFilippis
amended his motion to include
Councilman Berko’s recommended continency, and the council
unanimously
approved
the
motion.
However, when Tuesday night’s
meeting was opened to comments
from the public, resident Victoria
Mastrobuono said the borough
has a responsibility to help safeguard the bay and urged the gov-
erning body to expand the testing
to include other contaminants,
such as nitrogen.
“We’re a community on the bay
and we have a bay keeper responsibilities, one of which is to know
the quality of the water,” she said.
“I hope you reverse this because
we do have a responsibility to
know what’s going on with the
water.”
If the testing is stopped, Ms.
Mastrobuono asked, how would
the borough know if water quality
of Barnegat Bay becomes a problem. If the issue is the amount of
time the public works employee
spends collecting and delivering
the samples each week, Ms.
Mastrobuono suggested the samples be taken less frequently.
She
also
questioned
Councilman DeFilippis’ assertion
that the reports in borough hall
had been sitting unused for years.
“How do you know nobody’s
read
the
reports,”
Ms.
Mastrobuono asked.
Councilman DeFilippis — who
said he is in borough hall four days
a week — said in his seven years
on the governing body he has
never seen anyone come into borough hall and ask to review the
information.
Ms. Mastrobuono continued to
press the issue, asking the councilman how he could be so certain if
he is not in borough hall every
hour the building is open to the
public, a question which prompted
the councilman to say he was satisfied that the reports had not
been reviewed by anyone.
Councilman DeFilippis also
questioned the value of the information currently on file at borough hall.
“The data is there,” he said, “it’s
history. How does that help with
the future?… No one is assigned
or responsible for doing anything
about it. No one is assigned to it,
we don’t have control over the
entire bay.”
“That doesn’t mean we can’t do
anything
about
it,”
Ms.
Mastrobuono countered, before
proposing the council expand the
scope of the testing to check for
other contaminants.
Ms. Mastrobuono said water
quality is an ongoing concern for
communities and officials all along
the shore.
“Nobody’s disregarding this
bay, except for maybe us now,” the
resident said.
Councilman William Curtis,
the governing body’s liaison to the
environmental commission, joined
the discussion at this point, and
said that group is currently coming up with a way to continue, and
even expand, the water testing
program without using borough
employees to collect and deliver
the samples.
“We’re trying to expand it to
include
Twilight
Lake,”
Councilman Curtis said.
The councilman said the commission is in the midst of trying to
determine how often the water
samples would need to be taken
and from which locations as well
as a way for the results to be
obtained by the environmental
commission.
The councilman said a borough
resident used to volunteer to perform these services for the borough, but had to stop once he fell
ill, and the task was shifted to the
public works department sometime later.
“We’re hoping to have it done
with volunteers,” Councilman
Curtis said, adding he believes the
environmental commission will be
able to assemble a list of people
interested in taking over the job.
“It was done by a volunteer in
the past, we just need to know
what to do and how to do it,” he
said.
On Wednesday afternoon,
Councilman DeFilippis said he
had left a message for the supervisor at the Ocean County Health
Department lab in an effort to get
some of his questions about the
water testing answered, but had
yet to hear back.
He reiterated that his objection
to the practice was not an indication that he is not concerned
about the water quality of
Barnegat Bay but, rather, relates to
a public works employee spending
six hours a week collecting and
delivering the samples when the
worker’s time would be better
spent on other projects.
— POPACA —
was fun for me. Now I will have
time to do other things.”
Councilman Popaca said that
he will stay active in the fire company and have more time to spend
with his wife, Joyce, and their children, Jamie, Greg and John.
Mr. Ness said the election was
proof that the Regular Republican
Organization of Mantoloking was
“alive, well and functioning.”
Mr. Ness and Councilwoman
Nelson were both endorsed earlier
this year by the newly formed
Regular Republican Organization
of Mantoloking.
“We were presented as candidates, screened and voted on to fill
the two seats,” said Mr. Ness.
“We are committed to an
informed public,” he added. “We
laid out the issues that we felt were
important and focused strictly on
the issues.”
Councilwoman Nelson said she
was happy to win the bid for the
November election ballot.
“I am delighted with the way
things finally turned out,” she said.
Councilwoman Nelson lost her
bid to appear on the 2006 general
election ballot by a margin of five
votes in last year’s primary. She
was then appointed to council in
January to fill the vacancy created
when George Nebel was sworn in
as mayor.
The councilwoman said the
primary election results prove that
the
Regular
Republican
Organization of Mantoloking will
be able to meet the needs of the
town.
“Now we can all work together
and get on with making sure
Mantoloking remains the best
place to be,” Councilwoman
Nelson said.
“It’s always encouraging to see a
town as small as Mantoloking has
so many qualified people who
want to volunteer,” she added.

supported by 81 Republican voters
in the primary secured in the primary election.
“I am surprised,” said Council
President Popaca, of the election
results. “Naturally I am disappointed,” he added.
Despite his disappointment,
Councilman Popaca said he does
not plan on calling for a recount of
the votes. He also said he has no
intention of launching a write-in
campaign.
“I accomplished most of what I
wanted to,” said Councilman
Popaca, referring to his nine-year
tenure on the governing body. “I

HAVING BUSINESSMEN CALL THE SHOTS WHEN IT COMES TO NEWS IS
NOT A GOOD IDEA
Editor, The Ocean Star:
CBS, among many of us who have been around the news business for
decades, was the pioneering radio and television news station. We relied on
it for factual reporting. It lost a touch of its glamour when Ed Murrow exited after rapping a demagogic senator and took a government job. Even
more of its reputation slipped when Walter Cronkite retired and was
replaced by Dan Rather. After Rather was caught in a blatant lie and was
“encouraged” to retire it looked as though there might be some hope for the
fast fading CBS news department. However, the promotional effort to
introduce Rather’s successor was so artificial it apparently also sullied her.
[By the way, her too-sweeter-than-thou personality didn’t help either.]
Result: that network’s news hour’s rating is still in free fall. But business
management at CBS still hasn’t learned. Let’s look at three ways of reporting news. First, there was a newsworthy event. Reporting: An event happened. Editorializing: An awful event happened. Lying: Twice as much
happened or nothing happened, take your pick.
David Leonhardt, an economics columnist with The New York Times,
recently nailed Lou Dobbs telling and retelling an untruth on his CNN
program. The untruth, naturally, supported a theme Dobbs had been pushing hard. In effect, Dobbs argues that that immigrants, especially
Mexicans, are harmful to the United States in many ways. I don’t want to
get into that argument [even though I disagree with Dobbs] because I
know too little about it. But there is another reason I bring it up and that
will soon become apparent.
Back to Leonhardt. On the Dobbs program one of his correspondents
said “there have been 7,000 cases of leprosy reported in the United States
during the past three years.” Dobbs, whiled being interviewed on “60
Minutes” — which to its credit seriously [I’m editorializing] questioned his
leprosy data — brushed off the interviewer with the following response:
“I’ll tell you this; if we reported that it’s a fact.” As a follow up on his show
Dobbs reported the untruth again, adding “If anything, this is an understatement.” At another time shortly thereafter Dobbs said, “Leprosy is on
the march in the United States.” Mr. Leon Leonhardt, apparently a man
who respects the rules of his profession, went to the director of The
National Hansen’s [the formal name of leprosy] Disease program, an arm
of the federal government, to check the facts. His surmise was correct. The
director, pointed out that Hansen’s disease seemed to have been prevalent
during the past “30” years among immigrants from Asia and Latin
America. The director added: “The peak year was 1983 when there were
456 cases — last year there were 137 — Hansen’s disease is not a public
health problem. That’s the bottom line!” Gosh, Leonhardt must have been
wondering, how often does this “credited” newsmaker lie? And he began
checking past Dobbs transcripts. As suspected he found another glaring
untruth. [At least one that he carried in his report.]
Why do I take the trouble to spend words on Dobbs and this subject?
The reason — CBS, the once highly regarded radio and TV new outlet,
has just hired Mr. Dobbs to be a commentator on its early show. Having
businessmen call the shots when it comes to news isn’t ideal. However, it
did work before so why can’t they make it work again?

THERE’S NO REASON WE CAN’T ALL GET ALONG
Editor, The Ocean Star:
I want to thank Laura Beeden for the acknowledgement of my letter in
The Ocean Star of May 25.
In Ms. Beeden’s letter of June 1 in The Ocean Star, I was impressed how
she made the transition from being confused about something in my letter,
to some talking points that were not at all related to my letter.
Ms. Beeden should not have been confused. My letter was written to
question the possible motives for the tone of Gene Speroni and Sal
Marino’s recent letters about Jack.
When Ms. Beeden made the transition to points which were not in my
letter, it prompted a desire to clear Ms. Beeden’s confusion.
My letter made no reference to Mr. Kennell’s interest in any startling 50
percent increase of taxes, in the past tree years. Nor did it express a desire
to blame Republicans or Democrats. The tax collector doesn’t care, who’s
at fault for those increases. Hopefully, the voters and taxpayers will demand
our leaders to heed a word for the wise and avoid costly latent agendas.
Ms. Beeden’s attempt to describe the Republican club needs to be
updated. I have seen a trend towards unity since some splinters of the group
have reaffiliated. I find the people presently engaged with the organization
are generally respectful and I really love their cookies.
I have to admit because of Ms. Beeden’s great detective work, Jack
Kennell and I have no longer have a Republican anonymous status. I can
only wonder who the Brutus is who leaked this information. Could the former member in the spotlight, who Ms. Beeden refers to, be responsible for
this leak? I encourage Ms. Beeden to continue her quest to expose the obvious.
A person’s political affiliations should not trouble Ms. Beeden. Ms.
Beeden had the privilege of holding the Bible for a Democrat at his swearing in ceremony. Ms. Beeden should know he was a Republican. Before
that, I was his campaign manager when he ran as an Independent and now,
I guess he is “born-again Democrat.” As you can see, changes in politics
could someday find Ms. Beeden at my cookie table. There’s no reason why
we can’t all get along.
The last time, I know of, when a society totally agreed on something it
produced “the tower of babble.” Not to worry! The Republicans can get a
matching funds grant for it, just before they turn Democrat and then
exclaim, “Well that was a learning experience” or “Look what the
Republicans did!”
When I first met Ms. Beeden I knew immediately she was not like all
the others. I admire her ability to avoid controversy by exclaiming “huh!”
My affectionate hope for Ms. Beeden is her experience in politics lands
her in a room full of moon drenched roses.

DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE CRITICIZING
Editor, The Ocean Star:
Council candidates Tooker and Cervino need to do a little more homework before criticizing the “Democratic-controlled council” for not having
a new master plan in place. The council has no involvement in the formal
adoption of the master plan. Adoption of the master plan is exclusively the
province of the planning board. The council is only responsible for preparatory work leading up to the adoption of the master plan by the planning
board.
The council has completed its work on the master plan in a timely fashion. The council adopted the the master plan review report immediately
after it was completed by the master plan review committee, which Tooker
and Cervino admit “did a fine job,” and was co-chaired by Councilman
DiCicco and former Councilman Liotta. The council then hired a planner
to complete the master plan and referred the matter to the planning board
where it stands today. Presumably, the planning board will soon adopt a
master plan.
Constructive criticism is part of the the governmental process and can
result in the advancement of good ideas. Criticism based on erroneous facts
and incorrect information, like that made by Tooker and Cervino against
the council with respect to the master plan, is political grandstanding and
irresponsible behavior not flattering to candidates for council.

THE REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION IS ALIVE & WELL IN POINT
Editor, The Ocean Star:
Note to Laura Beeden: After your active involvement in the local 2006
Democratic campaign, you have rightfully established yourself as a local
political activist. Therefore, as president of the Republicans for Point
Pleasant, I’ll respond to your letter to the editor from a political perspective. First and foremost, the tactic of using letters from residents to portray
our organization as imploding, high-jacked and consumed by infighting is
disingenuous and irresponsible. The individual[s] mentioned in your letter
are not part of a grand political strategy. They are residents with opinions.
I’m not aware of any organization in Point Pleasant that requires members
to surrender their right of freedom of speech.
As for the Republicans for Point Pleasant, what you have erroneously
describe as a faulty entity, is in fact a dynamic, well-informed organization
that is capable of handling many challenges, we learn from each experience,
and most importantly, we move forward. On a monthly basis, we hear from
the Republican members of our municipal government, while having an
opportunity to ask questions. Our elections are well-run and, most importantly, honest. We have no control over how an individual candidate
responses to the results. Again, membership in our organization does not
require anyone to surrender personal freedoms.
The 2007 Republican ticket of Dikun and Rogers shows without exception that our organization is alive and well. That we encourage a dynamic
environment and healthy political discourse. In fact, the short and bias history lesson you published only validates my comments regarding our
organization. A lesser, fragile group would have indeed imploded and disbanded. Instead, we have chosen to unite and unanimously support what
we feel is one of the strongest GOP tickets in recent years.
For the record, any literature and information regarding the 2007
Republican ticket of Dikun and Rogers will not require the residents of
Point Pleasant to “read between the lines.” My number is in the book,
please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. You may come away
with a different perspective than what you’re receiving from former members. I wish you all the best.

POLITICS IN POINT PLEASANT HAVE DEGENERATED
Editor, The Ocean Star:
Councilman O’Rourke and political activist Laura Beeden, who held the
Bible for O’Rourke at his swearing in, appear to be a little upset about the
fact that the tax levy went up 50 percent in just the last three years. [Being
sincere, I don’t think either one of them was fully aware of that alarming
statistic.] As political “game players” and dilettantes, they know one thing
however: that statistic is very bad news for incumbents up for re-election
like Councilman McCarthy [who, by the way, is not actually a property
owner].
I suspect that a good part of this fiscal fiasco is caused by bloated payrolls and benefits, and the creation of new jobs. Time will tell. As one
example of their fiscal laxity McCarthy and O’Rourke were instrumental
in hiring a town attorney for $195 per hour instead of an equally proficient
attorney who bid $125 per hour.
Last year, in 2006, general election Ms. Beeden ran hundreds of dollars

ago to have all department supervisors re-examine their budget
requests and find places to make
cuts.
Councilman Ardito said most
of the reports re-submitted after
his request were compiled with
the assistance of that department’s council liasion.
“I’m not sure if the department
heads did all they can do [to make
cuts],” Councilman Ardito said.
During previous hearings of
the 2007 budget, Councilwoman
Britta Wenzel raised several concerns about the salary and wages
line items within the department
of public works.
However, on Monday night
she said those concerns had been
taken care of since the last meeting.
Ultimately, the council voted 51 to approve the 2007 municipal
budget and a corresponding
budget amendment.
That budget amendment
reduced the total amount to be
raised by taxes for support of the
municipal budget by $45,683,
from $4,377,951 to $4,332,268.
The reduction to the tax levy
was made possible because the
council members identified several line items where cuts could be
made, Mr. Parlow said.
Included in those line items
that were cut are several under the
general appropriations headline.
According to Mr. Parlow, the
human resources [personnel]
other expenses line item was cut
from $4,500 to $3,000.
The line item covering the
printing and legal advertising fees
from the municipal clerk’s office
was reduced from $13,750 to
$12,250.
The cost for insurance was cut
from $857,340 to $842,400.
Inside the police department’s
subheading, the other expenses
line item was cut from $100,000
to $95,000.
In addition, the department of
public works [DPW] salaries and
wages line item was reduced from
$934,400 to $918,600.
No other members of the governing body offered comments on
the budget during Monday
night’s meeting.

One of my favorite movies is
“History of the World Part I,”
written and directed by Mel
Brooks. In the early part of the
movie they
talk about
the
first

with the first
artist came
the first art
critic.
In
the
sports world,
we have our
own
version
ADAM
of
the

question. But the sports equivalent is not just which came first
— the player or the media
whose job it is to critique their
performance — but also adds
fans into the equation who also
serve as critics in several situations.
And it is more than just the
coverage of the games that can
draw the ire of the fans to the
players or the media covering
them.
The fans and the media and
the teams they cover and root
for all are involved in the selection processes for all-star games,
tournaments and several other
aspects of the sporting world.
For all-star games, the fans
make most of the decisions.
Then, the managers make their
own decisions about who they
want to fill in the remaining
holes in their respective rosters.
Once those decisions have been
made, the media and fans look at
the lineups and put their two
cents in.
For hall of fame selections,
chosen members of the media
make most of the selections,
with either other hall of famers
or alumni of the sport making
the rest of the decisions.
Then, for tournaments, the
seedings are either based on
records and results, which makes
the process fairly straight forward, or there is a committee
which uses their own formulas
which then allows for conjecture
and objections from the fans and
the media.
The players who draw the
most attention are only the
beginning of the process that
has evolved over time and only
recently has become nearly fully
interactive.
Now, when athletes make
solid plays, they are instantly
lauded for their achievements by
the press covering them and the
fans behind him. But by the
same token, whether fair or not,
if a player makes a mistake or is
perceived to have made a mistake, the fans express their displeasure by booing or voicing
their complaints in the media.

fans calling in and giving an

Puorro, Ocean fall
in Shore Challenge

For the second straight year, Point Boro
senior Matt Puorro competed in the Shore
Challenge as the best golfers in Ocean
County took on the best golfers in
Monmouth County.
Unfortunately for Puorro and his Ocean
County teammates, they were once again
beaten by the Monmouth squad, though the
Boro senior did his best to keep his team
competitive.
The Shore Challenge consists of three
types of competition in one day. There is a
better ball challenge, an alternate shot match
and a singles match.
In the better ball challenge, Puorro teamed
up with Central Regional’s Al Bruno but lost
1-up to the pair from Marlboro and Colts
Neck.
Puorro and teammate Jeff Smolar from
Monsignor Donovan then teamed up in the
alternate shot competition and came up with
a 1-up win over the same opponents to keep
the Ocean County squad in contention.
The final action of the day came in the singles match, when Puorro took on Pat DiLeo

For two years now, Point Beach sophomore
Henry Stuhler has seen more than his fair share of
success with the Garnet Gull boys tennis team. And
while most of that success has come on courts in
Monmouth and Ocean County, Stuhler has now
made two pilgrimages to Mercer County Park for
the individual state tournament.
Unlike last year — when Stuhler made a first
round exit in his rookie season — last weekend,
Stuhler picked up a big first round win to keep him
alive into the second round.
The first round saw Stuhler take on Patrick
Monaghan from Chatham High School. Stuhler
dominated the first set winning 6-2 and held strong
in the second set to win 7-5 and claim the match.
Coach Ed Hanley said it was a good match for his
first singles player as he competed against the best
the state had to offer.
“He came out and played really well,” Hanley
said. “He served real well and didn’t make too many
errors.”
With a win in his pocket, Stuhler advanced to the
second round where he faced Will Kendall from
Millburn High School. Even though Kendall, the
five seed in the bracket, picked up a 6-1, 6-0 win
over the un-seeded Stuhler, the Garnet Gull said he
was happy with the way he played in the tournament.
Stuhler said it was a good way to end his second
year as a Gull tennis player. “It was good. I was pretty happy with my first round match and I got farther
than last year,” he said.
Stuhler said that competing at Mercer County
Park during last year’s tournament prepared him for

SOUTH PLAINFIELD — Last weekend, several members of the Point Beach and Point Boro
track teams headed up South Plainfield High
School for the Group I and Group II Championship
meets.
With all of the local competitors capable of posting the top six-finishes necessary to move into the
Meet of Champions [MOC], some realized their
goal and will continue their season, while others saw
their seasons come to an end.
One local poised to make an impressive showing
at the MOC — being held this weekend at South
Plainfield High School — is Point Boro junior Bob
Stowe. Competing in the long jump at the Group II
meet, Stowe recorded a sixth-place finish in the
event with a jump of 22-1.25.
Stowe had mixed emotions about the final results
from the Group II meet.
“I wanted to advance and get 22 [feet],” he said. “I
was hoping to get a better place. It didn’t work out
like that.”
The MOC will also be held at South Plainfield,
and Stowe said he hopes the experience he gained at
the site last weekend will give him an edge heading
into this weekend’s meet.
“I think it [competing in the Group II meet at
South Plainfield] will help a lot, but only time will
tell with that,” Stowe said.
Stowe was not the only Boro athlete to qualify for
the MOC. Sophomore Grace Freirmuth also
advanced in the high jump.
Freirmuth recorded a jump 5-2 last weekend to tie
for sixth place and advance to the next round.
Due to a scheduling conflict, the sophomore will
not be taking part in the MOC this weekend, but
said she has higher goals for herself as she continues

SOFTBALL
— Lady Gulls —
Pauline
Robinson
You’d be hard pressed to find a female athlete from Point Pleasant Beach
who has accomplished more in her time at the Group I school than senior
Pauline Robinson. In her final year as a Lady Gull, Robinson thrived at third
singles for the girls tennis team in the fall, passed the 1,000-point mark with
the girls basketball team last winter, and this spring she was an anchor for the
softball team from center field and at the plate.
Robinson completed her final season with the Beach squad with an
impressive .384 batting average including 20 hits, 11 RBIs and 12 stolen
bases.
In the field for the Beach, Robinson finished the season without committing a single error while recording four assists and 20 put-outs. While the
team finished the year with a 6-14 record, head coach Steve Sasse said the
leadership that Robinson provided was invaluable.
“They had leadership,” he said. “They were very good with keeping the
team together no matter what. They kept them motivated and kept them
believing.”
One game which Sasse said epitomized the effort Robinson gave to the team and
the results it reaped was the Lady Gulls matchup against the Titans of Keansburg
early in the year. In that game, Robinson went 3-3, scoring three runs and driving
in three more.
Robinson and her team had a particularly good day earlier in the season as the
club beat Medford Tech in a nondivisional game. The game also served as the last
home appearance for Robinson and her fellow seniors and the Gulls ran away to a
15-0 victory. After junior Emily Pirl knocked a single to right and stole second,
Robinson hit her own RBI single to right to get her team an early lead. Using her
speed and some errors by the Medford pitcher, Robinson came all the way around
on a trio of wild pitches to make it a 3-0 game. Robinson added to what had
already been a successful day in the home half of the third inning when she hit a
two run single up the middle.
Medford Tech was not a divsion opponent, and while the Lady Gulls were out
of contention for the state tournament, the game was still an opportunity for
Robinson and her teammates to shine one final time on their home field.
While the squad may not have won as many games as the players and their coach
would have liked, Robinson and her teammates refused to give up as they faced
some of the top schools the B Central Division during the softball season.
So as graduation looms next week, the Lady Gulls know they are going to need
a new third singles player for the tennis team, a new point guard for the girls basketball team and a new center fielder. But the experience and leadership Robinson
has brought to those positions outside of the field will likely be missed as much, if
not, more by those teams.
BASEBALL
— Panthers —
Pat
Biserta
At the end of last season, Point Boro’s Pat Biserta shared The Ocean Star athlete
of the season for baseball, with then-senior Tom Heuer.
Now, a year later and with Heuer a year since graduated, Biserta ended his high
school career with another stellar season. In 25 games, Biserta posted a .452 batting
average. His 33 hits on the year included six doubles and five home runs to help with
his .740 slugging percentage.
But it was not just his hitting that helped the Panthers reach the Shore
Conference and state tournaments this year. Biserta was also patient at the plate as
teams worked their way around him in the lineup. He averaged nearly one walk per
game.
While his career in a Panthers uniform is now over, Biserta will leave a long-lasting impression on the program, either claiming, or coming close to, several career
records.
When all was said and done, Biserta finished his career with 141 hits, 17 home
runs and 96 RBIs, helping the Panthers win the South Jersey Group II title last year,

and helping the team rebound from a slow start this year to return to the state tournament.
Biserta may not have matched the 10 home runs he hit last year, he did have several big
knocks in some big games for the Panthers. In the first round of the state tournament, the
Panthers faced Delran on the road. While his team wound up losing the game, Biserta got
a hold of one pitch and put it well over the fence in right center field to keep his team in
the game.
The senior said one of the highlights from the season came later that same week, when
the Panthers travelled to Ocean in the Shore Conference Tournament. Despite being heavy
underdogs and eventually taking the loss, Biserta put one pitch sent his way over the fence.
While his stats may not have been the same as they were last year, and in some ways the
season was more of a challenge. Biserta said throughout the course of the year he learned
more about himself and how he approaches the game. “We had to really work for what we
got,” he said. “At times the season could have been over for us but we never gave up.” The
team rallied from a slow start and won every game they had to to make it to the postseason.
As far as his individual statistics, Biserta said, “I got better with the mental part of the
game and what to do,” he said. Now that his time with the Panthers is done, Biserta still
has more to look forward to in his baseball career. Having committed to Rutgers to continue his education, the hard-hitting senior has that as an option, but also may have the
opportunity to fulfill a lifelong dream held by just about every young ball player. As the
Boro’s season was winding down, Biserta gained more and more interest from Major
League Baseball teams interested in drafting him.
In addition to having scouts from the New York Yankees and other teams come to Boro
games, Biserta was part of a tryout at Yankee Stadium last Friday. The Major League
Baseball first-year player draft was scheduled to start yesterday, too late for this edition of
The Ocean Star.
GIRLS LACROSSE
— Lady Panthers —
Brianna
Blank
It was easy to spot Boro sophomore Brianna Blank on the lacrosse field for the
Lady Panthers this year, as long as you moved your eyes very quickly. As the
team adjusted to life in their new home in the B North Division, Blank took on
more of a leadership role to help the team stay competitive.
The transition from active player on the team to leader on the field was hastened when senior Lauren Conaty went down early in the season with an injury.
With her team’s leading scorer put on the shelf for the remainder of the season,
Blank stepped up and scored 23 goals on the year while assisting on four others.
No matter if her team was up on the scoreboard or down, Blank could be
found running the length of the field at full speed doing everything in her power
to keep her team in the game.
While there were several stellar games for the sophomore, one of the highlights was a game midseason against Long Branch, which the Lady Panthers
won 8-3. The team, as a whole, scored eight goals in the game, with six of them
off of Blank’s stick. With nearly one-quarter of her scoring output coming in
that game alone, Blank showed that in the next two years she could be a force to
be reckoned with among Shore Conference scorers.
Even in the last week of the season, when the Lady Panthers had been eliminated from the postseason and were just playing for enjoyment and respect, Blank kept
the pressure on the Boro’s opponents.
In its last game of the year, the Boro played Brick Memorial on the road. It was
a close game throughout, but the Mustangs picked up a 13-11 win. As she had done
all year, Blank did her best to help her team get on the board and recorded four
goals and contributing an assist. Blank also scored a goal and recorded an assist in
their next to last game when the Panthers hosted the squad from Brick Township.
Her coach, Keri Stabile, said in one year of working with Blank, there were
already tremendous signs of growth. “All I know is that she has improved tremendously,” Stabile said. “She practiced very hard throughout the season to perfect her
shots on goal and she did just that.”
Stabile said if Blank continues to score as often as she did this year in the seasons to come, she has the potential to reach 100 career goals by the time she graduates.
While she is unsure of where she will go when her time with the Boro is up,
Blank said one place she is considering continuing her athletic and academic career
is Georgian Court University. If she does that, Blank could be re-united with
Conaty, who is scheduled to star there in the fall.
Teaming with Conaty is an idea Blank seems to fully embrace. “ That would be
cool if we could work together,” she said. “When we were playing together we made
a good team.”
While a reunion with Conaty on the field is still only a hypothetical at this point,
Blank said she will spend her summer getting ready for her junior year on the field
hockey and lacrosse teams.

FISHING TIPS
The big striped bass run is on in
both Monmouth and Ocean counties. Excellent reports of striped
bass being caught in the 30+ pound
range have been coming in all
week.This run actually began about
two weeks ago with only a few
boats on them but now even the
party boats are getting their share of
these big fish, too.
One interesting thing to note is
that party boat captains are sharing
equally in the success by jigging
these big bass and not getting them
on bunker. Capt. Jim from the
Cock Robin out of Point Pleasant
had this to report from one of his
reports last week. “This morning
was the kind of morning we all
look forward to. Warm, calm, with
a flat ocean. Out the inlet we went,
looking over an area about a mile
offshore. Finding no one home out
there, we went north along the
beach, looking for blues as we
went. We got as far north as Avon,
catching some small to medium
size blues, all on metal. Lots of
blues up to this point for everyone
aboard, including the novice fishermen.
Rosanna Lara was with us today
and was pulling bluefish like a pro,
along with Mark Checki. Chris and
Canoli Mike Gupko were showing
everyone in the bow how it was
done, doing a job on those blues, as
usual. Greg Della Penna from West
Milford was doing a good job, trying hard for a striper as well as some
nice blues; Phil Melhorn from
South River was with us, fishing
hard for the bass as well. Phil
Lippitt was not with us today, so he
did not catch a 50-pound bass. But
Emanuel Vasilakis did. That's right,
a 50 pound striper. Emanuel also
caught a 40-inch bass, weighing in
at around 35 to 40 pounds. There
were more bass aboard today, not a
lot, but they were all keepers, all on
metal, and all big.”
Captain Howard Bogan of the
125' Jamaica out of Brielle has also
reported lots of big striped bass on
recent trips. Bogan said “Fishing
has been very good to excellent all
week. We are catching plenty of
bluefish with some striped bass
mixed in. Thursday fishing was
excellent for bluefish up to 12
pounds and striped bass up to 43

Dayton was the lucky angler that
won the pool with this big bass.
Other big bass catches have been
24 pounds Billy Bidat of Toms
River, 20 pounds Daryl Alston
from Norristown, Pa and 17
pounds Matt Clark of Pine Hill.
With plenty of rainfish around
at this time this would help to
explain why jigs are also working
well for striped bass. You will, however, weed through a lot of bluefish
but persistence will also put some
striped bass on the end of the line.
So if you don’t have any bunker just
locate marks on your fishfinder and
set up and try jigging with diamond jigs.
On June 22-25, Clarks Landing
Marina on the Manasquan River
in Point Pleasant will be the setting
where shark anglers from across the
tri-state area and beyond will gather to battle for a projected cash
purse of $70,000 in the Greater
Point Pleasant Charter Boat
Association’s 22nd Annual MakoMania
Shark Tournament.
Planned to coincide with the best
mako shark fishing opportunity,
this event has seen some impressive
catches over the years. Entry fee is
$425 and is limited to 300 boats.
Based on a full field of 300 boats
the heaviest mako is worth
$35,000 while the second heaviest
mako earns $17,500 and the third
heaviest mako earns $8,500. The
fourth heaviest mako is worth
$4,250 while the fifth and sixth
heaviest makos are worth $2,750
and $2,000, respectively. In the
event that the tournament is not
filled, a straight percentage of the
prize money will be awarded. In
the event all six weight places are
not filled, the remaining prize
money will be split proportionately
between the other winners. Should
a lucky tournament participant
break the existing New Jersey
shortfin mako shark record currently set at 856 pounds, that participant will receive a 2007 GMC
Sierra.
Proceeds from Mako-Mania are
used by the Greater Point Pleasant
Charter Boat Association to benefit all anglers and the organization
has played a major role in helping
build and defend the artificial reefs
off the coast of New Jersey.To date,
the organization has donated well
over $100,000 toward artificial reef
construction along the coast of the
Garden State. For additional tournament information, call the

Information sought for
summer sports coverage
With the bulk of the spring
scholastic sports schedule now
completed, The Ocean Star plans
to continue coverage of local
sports, including various leagues
and tournaments, for the next
three months.
Those with information concerning local summer league
teams that will be in action this
summer, can contact The Ocean
Star. Local teams include those
out of Point Pleasant Beach,
Point Pleasant, Bay Head,
Mantoloking or Lavallette that
are predominantly comprised of
local year-round residents.
The Ocean Star also plans to
provide coverage of baseball and
softball teams from the Point
Pleasant Beach and Point
Pleasant in the upcoming New
Jersey District All-Star baseball
and softball tournaments. To do
so, schedules and contact information for managers are needed
when they become available.
In addition, the yacht clubs in
Bay Head, Mantoloking and
Lavallette are asked to contact
The Ocean Star with upcoming
summer racing series schedules
and contacts in order to publish
weekly results.
The Ocean Star is also looking
for names of area residents living
to be considered for a potential
summer feature. These features
in-depth coverage on area residents who are either participating
in an athletic competition or
those working behind the scenes
to make sure the competitors take
part in a safe, well-organized
event.
Stories this summer will also
revisit former athletes Point
Pleasant Beach and Point
Pleasant high schools who were
among the best in their respective
sport on the Shore Conference
and state level.
Another potential summer
feature, “Catching Up With...”
may run from June to August.
Possible candidates for that feature are also needed. The feature
will cover graduates of Point
Beach and Point Pleasant high
schools, as well as other local
year-round residents who are
currently playing varsity sports on
the college level or have just completed their collegiate career this
past school year.
To suggest a story, contact

Bob also said that the striped
bass fishing in the surf is not where
it was last year yet. Anglers fishing
clams are doing well with bass to
10 pounds but the really big bass

Henry
Stuhler
As a freshman with the Point Beach tennis team last year, it was clear that
Henry Stuhler was going to leave a definite mark with the squad by the time
his tenure was over.
During his sophomore year, Stuhler only bolstered that notion as he showed
that he was an up-and-coming star in the B Central Division, the Shore
Conference and, with a little more work, maybe even the state as a whole.
This spring, Stuhler finished the year with a 20-6 overall record, including
an undefeated record in divisional matchups.
In addition to the matches where Stuhler shined at first singles for the

No matter what sport he played this year, Point Boro junior Bobby Stowe
made a definite impact. As a receiver on the football team, Stowe was one of
the favorite targets for sophomore quarterback Shane O’Connor. As a member
of the basketball team, he collaborated with his teammates to reach the South
Jersey Group II semifinals and was a constant presence under the basket.
But in the spring, Stowe shined all by himself as a member of the Boro track
team. If there was a field event on the agenda, Stowe was likely right in there,
and if he was competing he was usually right near the top of the standings by
the time the competition was completed.
Gulls, he also did well in the tournaments while competing against the best players
from other teams.
In the Ocean County tournament, Stuhler competed in the first singles bracket
and left Bay Lea with a fourth-place finish. Stuhler’s first loss of the tournament
came in the semifinals where he lost to the top seed in the tournament. The sophomore gave all he could in the consolation match, battling for third place. Despite
pushing the match to three sets, Stuhler could not pull out the win, and took home
fourth-place honors.
For the second time in as many years, Stuhler continued to play long after his
teammates had completed their matches, and his efforts on the court more than
qualified him for the individual state tournament held last weekend at Mercer
County Park.
Stuhler travelled out of his normal area for tennis for the tournament, but unlike
last year where he made a first-round exit, Stuhler won his first round-match to face
the fifth seed in the second round. The sophomore said just getting into the second
round of the tournament was an accomplishment in and of itself, and a step in the
right direction.
With two more years left as a Garnet Gull, and seemingly limitless potential,
Stuhler looks to only have good things ahead of him. His next goal is to get back to
20 wins in a year and go beyond that to leave his mark in Garnet Gull history.
TRACK
When he returns to the area tracks for his senior year, Stowe will either be the
defending champion or be looking to gain a title in several events. One of his biggest
wins this year came at the Shore Conference Tournament when Stowe out-leaped the
competition at Neptune High School in the long jump competition.
The long jump was Stowe’s signature event this year. He finished in third place in
the South Jersey Group II section and won the event at the Lion Invitational.
In addition to the long jump, Stowe has also shown he can be a top competitor in
the javelin, where his best throw on the year was 166-8. In other jumping events,
Stowe recorded personal bests in the triple jump, with a 42-9, and a high jump leap
of 6-2.
With just a few inches separating him from the school record in the long jump,
Boro track coach Jim Greenwood said he is convinced Stowe will claim the record in
his senior year.
As for where Stowe ranks in terms of the state, Greenwood said he believes the junior is somewhere in the top 10. At 6'4", 200 pounds, Greenwood said Stowe’s size,
combined with his athletic ability is part of what makes him so successful in all the
sports he participates in.
Stowe said he hopes to continue competing in athletics after his high school career
comes to an end next year. Though he is not sure if he will be competing in football
or in track.

— Lady Gulls—
Katie
Warner
Every high school athlete has the potential to play in a maximum of 12
seasons before graduation. Fewer than that have an opportunity to claim varsity letters in all 12, but that is exactly what Point Beach senior Katie Warner
accomplished this year with the Lady Gulls track team.
Warner starred on the Beach girls soccer team in a senior season that
included a game-winning goal against Point Boro to end the season. When
that season was done, she finished her last year on the Beach girls basketball
team, helping lead the squad to the South Jersey Group I playoffs.
And to round things out, Warner was a member of this spring’s girls track
team. With a very young team loaded with talent, Warner was a consistent contributor in several events, helping her team as best as she could in every meet.
One event where Warner continuously shined was the high jump. With the
school record at 5-4, Warner tried all season to get to and above that mark, but
managed a personal best 5-3 in one meet to come close to the record. While 5-3
was her best jump, 5-2 was her most consistent result. With that high of a jump
Warner was able to go undefeated in dual meets and advance straight up to the
Meet of Champions.
Warner’s older brother, Tim, went on to play basketball at Monmouth university when his high school career was over and her older sister Tara is a member of
the tennis squad at Monmouth. While she will not be staying close to home for
her college career, there is a chance that Warner will see time as a member of the
track team when she starts school at James Madison University in the fall.
While she is not sure she will take part in the Division I track program, Warner
said if she chooses not to, it will be a strange experience. “It’s going to be weird
going to school and not going to my sport,” she said. “I’ve been doing that since
my Antrim days.”
Whether she continues her athletic career on the next level or not Warner said
sports have played an important role in her life.

Matt
Puorro
Going from the rough and tumble of the gridiron to the fast-paced run-and-gun
style of the basketball court is not a major adjustment for some two-sport high
school athletes.
Going from the gridiron and the hardwood to the placid links of a golf course,
that is a horse of an entirely different color. And while the three sports may not
appear to go together, it is one that Boro senior Matt Puorro made seem flawless
and ordinary this year.
Puorro made a living making high-wire circus catches on the football field this
year as he, sophomore quarterback Shane O’Connor and junior receiver Bobby
Stowe helped the Panthers reach the South Jersey Group II playoffs.
He and Stowe then collaborated again in the winter to help the Boro basketball team come
within one game of the South Jersey Group II finals.
But in his last season as a Panther, Puorro returned to the golf team and took one more
swing at leading a Boro athletic team. While his average for the year was nearly a full stroke
higher than last spring’s mark, Puorro was a consistently steady force on a team top-heavy
with senior talent. It was during the tournaments where Puorro’s star shined brightly. When
he entered the Ocean County Tournament earlier in the year, Puorro tied for 13th place and
also took third in the Wildcat invitational in the same week.
His consistently solid results landed Puorro a spot on the Ocean County team in the Shore
Challenge as the best golfers in Ocean County took on the best golfers in Monmouth
County.
Puorro could not help his team to defeat its rivals from Monmouth County, but he did put
up several good numbers to show that he belonged on the course with the best high school
players in the area. And even though in each season the Panthers fell just short of claiming a
division title, it was still a good year competition wise to end his high school career.
Puorro said the biggest highlight of the year was beating division rival Central Regional to
keep them in the hunt for the division crown. “For us to actually get a win against them really meant that we can push ourselves,” he said.
As for his last year, the senior said, “Every season for football, basketball and golf we were
all successful.” Puorro added, “We played hard every season.”

Fink’s blast helps Merchants
claim opening-day win
By Adam Hochron
All it took was one crack of
the bat on Tuesday to know that
the Jersey Shore Baseball League
season was
back in full
JSBL
MERCHANTS 13 swing for
2 the Point
BRAVES
Pleasant
Merchants.
After a spring of pings from
aluminum bats in high school
baseball, the crack that came
from the wood bat of Merchant
veteran Mark Fink was a welcome change and the resulting
two runs that scored as the ball
flew over the center field wall
helped propel the Merchants to a
13-2 opening-day win over the
Colts Neck Braves.
The home run was Fink’s first
of the year, but was just part of
the equation that gave the
Merchants their first win.
It only took an inning for the
Merchants’ bats to come alive,
but once they did there was nearly no stopping them. With the
game being played at the Wall
Municipal
Complex,
the
Merchants got up first but went
down in oder with a trio of
infield ground-outs.
When the Colts Neck squad
came up, they were held in check
by Merchant pitcher Bobby
Wywra, who allowed just six hits
in seven innings of work.
In the first inning, the Braves
threatened to take an early lead
with two on and one out. Wywra
got the cleanup hitter to ground
the ball back to him as he flipped
the ball to the shortstop starting
an inning-ending 1-6-3 double
play.
Fink’s first at-bat was a strikeout to start the second inning,
but he was followed by a group
of well-placed singles to left.
Rob Hine, Chase Grey and
Andy Pagano all singled to load
the bases with one out and Elliot
Hagberg hit a sacrifice fly to
score Hine and get his team on
the board.
Wywra gave up three singles
in the second inning with all of
them going to the outfield and
one of them driving in a Brave
runner to tie the game at one.
That was the last time the Braves
were able to keep the game in
r
e
a
c
h
.
In the visitors’ half of the third
inning, Doug Forde picked up
his first hit of the year with a single to center and was driven
home on Nick Mullins’ RBI
double that went all the way
back to the center field wall. Pat
Matera then singled to left to
drive in Mullins and make it a 31 game.
The Braves kept their fight
alive in the third inning as they
took advantage of three Wywra
walks to load the bases. But the
Merchants’ defense held it
together and held the Braves off
the board.
Whatever hope the Braves
had of coming back in the game
came to an end in the fourth
inning. After Grey led off the
inning striking out, Pagano was
hit by a pitch and Hagberg
walked to give the team two on
and one out. Jordan Marsch then
flew out to short to make it two
on and two out.
Forde was up next and, after
beating out a close play at first
and watching the ball skip away
from the fielder, the Merchant
veteran got to second while
Pagano came home. Mullins
walked to load the bases and
Matera drove in Hagberg and
Forde to further pad the
Merchants’ lead.
That was when Fink came up,
after batting 0-2 the day before,
and throttled the ball out of the
ball park. With six runs in the
inning the Merchants now had a
9-1 lead and were well on their
way to the victory.

the
Merchants scoreless in the fifth,

Merchants hope familiar
faces bring familiar results
By Adam Hochron
Heading into his 27th season
with the Point Pleasant
Merchants, manager Art Rooney
had 798 wins in his pocket and is
ready to go above and beyond
the 800-win plateau.
Under Rooney’s tutelage and
guidance, the Merchants have
dominated the Jersey Shore
Baseball League in recent years,
winning six of the last eight titles
and four of the last five, including last year. And while the titles
are good and all the wins are nice
to have, Rooney said that neither
is the goal for this team.
“I’m looking for the same
thing I look for every year,” he
said. “I want this to be an opportunity for the kids to be successful and for everyone to have a
good time.”
As he and the team work
toward another good year from
their Boro High School home
field, Rooney will be surrounded
by familiar faces and some new
ones as the season gets under
way.
One of the longest-tenured
members of the Merchants is
David Drew. Drew will see
action at second, third, catcher
and as the designated hitter, but
will also be one of the main people Rooney will look at to guide
some of the younger players on
the team.
Drew will have two other
longtime members of the squad
back with him this year, as Andy
Pagano and Mark Fink are back
in the Merchant red white and
blue uniforms.
Pagano, who spent his spring
coaching at Toms River North
High School, will be an anchor
for the team in the outfield.
“By far he still has the best
arm on the team,” Rooney said.
“Defensively he is the best outfielder we have.”
Behind the plate a bulk of the
workload will be given to Elliot
Hagberg and Nick Mullins.
Hagberg cut his teeth on the college level at NJIT in Newark
while Mullins was the starting
catcher at the University of
Pittsburgh.
While they will share the
catching duties, the pitching
duties will be done by committee, with two returners playing a
big part in the process. Bobby
Wywra returns for his second
year with the team and will be a
major factor as a left-handed
pitcher. Fellow returning pitcher
Chuck Garrison also figures to
see quite a bit of time on the hill
for the team.
With all their returning players, the Merchants will also have
speed and power in their lineup
which should push them
through the season. Andrew
Smalls will use his speed and
power while splitting his time
between third and the outfield
after his first year at NJIT.
Starting things off for the
Merchants’ offense will be Doug
Forde, who just finished his first
year at Rutgers Newark. Forde
will also split his time between
third and the outfield.
The Merchants will need to
wait a few more weeks for a
heavy bat to enter the lineup. Joe

Biserta’s dream comes true at Yankee Stadium tryout
By Adam Hochron
As a junior at Point Boro
High School last year, Pat
Biserta exploded onto the state
baseball scene. As his team
climbed to the top of South
Jersey Group II, Biserta was
rewriting the record books at the
high school.
With 10 home runs on the
year in addition to other stellar
stats, the whispers of where he
would spend his time on the diamond after high school started.
After a solid senior year this
spring, the whispers went from
Biserta going to college, to possibly going to the highest levels of
the game. As the year went on,
those whispers turned to shouts.
It all started with a regularseason game against a Shore
Conference opponent. There was
a scout from the Yankees watching the game who liked what he
saw in the senior who, earlier in
the year had signed a letter of
intent to go to Rutgers in the
fall.
Then there was the private
tryout with more Major League
scouts prior to a Point Boro
game, and the possibility of
being drafted began to become
more and more likely.
But it all became as real as
possible last Friday when
Biserta, and about two dozen
other Major League hopefuls,
took to the field at Yankee
Stadium to show they were worthy of being selected in this year’s
2007 Major League Baseball
First-Year Player Draft.
When the Panthers competed
in the Shore Challenge at
FirstEnergy Park in Lakewood,
Biserta roamed the same outfield
as players who could someday
play for the Philadelphia
Phillies. On Friday, Biserta
roamed the same outfield as current all-stars Johnny Damon and
Hideki Matsui, and all-time
greats like Mickey Mantle and
Joe DiMaggio.
“It was fun just to step on the
field knowing all the history that
was there,” he said.
During batting practice,
Biserta hit a few balls deep into
the seats in right field and the
bleachers in right center. While
he eventually came as close as he
could to being comfortable
standing at arguably the most
famous plate in baseball history,
Biserta said the experience was
nerve-wracking at first.
“It felt normal for a little bit,
but in the beginning it was
amazing,” he said. “When I had
time to think about it, it was like

looked to already be in midseason
form in his first start of the year. In
seven innings of shutout work,
Testa had three 1-2-3 innings and
only allowed more than one runner on base in the sixth inning.
With much of the roster missing due to scheduling conflicts, the
Merchants’ order was very different than the one the team had
used just 24 hours before. But all it
took was three innings of work
before the local team brought their
hitting sticks out to pummel their
opponents.
Nick Mullens got things going
for the local squad in the bottom
of the fourth with a double to left.
Rob Hine followed that with an
RBI triple that went to the right
field wall to give his team the lead.
Elliot Hagberg was up next and
the designated hitter put a ball in
deep left field to score Mullens
and get himself a single.
A single by Andy Pagano gave
the Merchants runners on first
and third with nobody out and
Ryan Kapp coming to the plate.
Kapp got hit by a pitch to load the
bases and Andrew Smalls walked
to bring in Hagberg. A walk to
Wywra brought in Pagano before
the Merchants struck out twice at
the top of the order. Those two Ks
were the first two outs of the
inning, but before it was done,
Mullens had himself a two-RBI

her Boro jumping career.
While she hit the 5-foot mark
last year and later improved to 52, Freirmuth said her goals are
loftier for her last two years.
“I want to get 5-6 for the high
jump,” she said. “I want to break
that [school] record and make sure
nobody else breaks it.”
While she stands at just 5'6",
Freirmuth said she believes it is a
goal she can accomplish.
“I only have 4 more inches to go
and I know I can do it,” she said.
Freirmuth was not the only
local athlete to finish sixth in the
high jump. Beach senior Katie
Warner also took sixth with a
jump of 5-2, but in the Group I
meet to qualify for the Meet of
single to left and Hine had an RBI
double to center. The inning finally came to an end when Hagberg
grounded out to short.
But the damage had been done,
as the Merchants had collected
eight runs on six hits to put the
game away early.
With a comfortable lead, Testa
continued to cruise through the
game picking up a total of 14
strikeouts in the seven-inning
contest.
The Merchants picked up their
last runs of the game in the sixth
inning, adding four more to their
tally, including a two-RBI double
to deep center field by Pagano.
As he watched his old coach
pick up his 800th win, Taylor said
the role Rooney has played in the
dugout throughout the years goes
way beyond simply being a coach.
“He was like a mentor to us,”
Taylor said. “He was like an overseer of all of us and he loved the
kids.”
Taylor said in the team’s first
year — playing in both the Babe
Ruth League and the Ed Carlton
League [which later became the
Jersey Shore Baseball League] —
the Merchants only lost two
games.
And while it has been more
than two decades since he last
played under Rooney, Taylor still
refers to his coach as “Mr.
Rooney” and said the coach has
made a lasting impact on players
for years.
“You know he’s always here,” he
said. “Mr. Rooney made a lot of
baseball players but he also made a
person out of you.”
Pagano — who has played on
the Merchants for the better part
of 12 years — said Rooney has
played an important role in his
life, as well.
“He’s the type of guy that’s very
easy to play for,” he said. “He is
loyal to all his players and very fair
to everyone he brings on.”
Now, as Pagano serves as an
assistant at Toms River North and
Rooney serves as an assistant at
Toms River South, the player said
there is a friendly rivalry between
himself and the Merchants skipper.
But for Rooney, 800 wins is
about more than just the victories
and the titles and the two decades
spent on the fields of the league, it
is about all the people he has met,
and the players he has worked
with and helped them in whatever
way he could.
“It’s just so hard to fathom or
believe,” the coach said, adding he
has a stack of scorebooks at home
listing the stats from all the years
the team has played. “It means a
lot of time, a lot of enjoyment, a
lot of friendships and a lot of competiveness,” he added.
But even more than that
Rooney said, “It means being in a
position to help a lot of kids. I’m a
little more impressed with the kids
I was able to help get into college
than the 800 wins.”
After all his time with the team,
Champions.
Warner — who has consistently hit the 5-2 mark all year — said
she was hoping to do better at the
Group I meet, but would try to
improve on that at the MOC.
“I have gotten 5-3 before, I have
gotten real close to 5-4, but my
legs hang, they don’t get over. I
guess it wasn’t in my legs,” she
said.
Warner’s career came to an end
at the group finals though as she
opted not to compete in the Meet
of Champions due to a scheduling
conflict.
Also competing at the Group II
Championships for the Boro with
Stowe was fellow junior Michael
Sperduti, who qualified for the
group meet in the shot put.
Sperduti threw a 47-9.75 at the
meet, good enough for 19th place.

Point Merchant infielder Chase Grey has made early contributions to the team in the field and at the plate. The Merchants
have started their season with a 2-0 record.
Rooney said he was not sure how
many kids that was, but it would
seem safe to say that number may
approach if not exceed 800.
By the time this season is over
Rooney will likely have impacted
more players’ lives and surpass 800
wins. He also is not ruling out a
return to the field next year to do
more of the same.
The Lady Gulls also had several solid performances in the
Group I meet outside of Warner.
Freshman Katie White took 11th
in the 800 meters with a time of
2:30.22, which was three seconds
faster than her time at the sectionals. Fellow freshman Kolby Kyff
took 18th in the 3,200 with a
time of 13:38.85
In the field events, Warner
almost had company at the MOC
as fellow senior Liz Duncan finished seventh in the shot put with
a throw of 34-4.75, just one spot
from advancing to the next round.
It was also 2 feet further than she
threw when competing against the
best in South Jersey Group I.
Point Beach senior Ernie Smith
competed in the triple jump, but
with a leap of 38-03 finished in
16th place to end his scholastic
track career.
Meanwhile, in the javelin fellow
senior Luke Thompson took 11th
with a throw of 142-11 in the
finals.
Point Boro coach Jim
Greenwood said Stowe has
worked to solidify himself in an
event that has become even more
competitive over the course of just
one year. Long jump winner from
last year’s group championship
won with a jump of just over 21
feet, this year two competitors
flew well over 23 feet.
As for what to expect for the
future, Greenwood said, “He’s just
beginning to realize with a little
bit of work he can get a lot better
and he’s already a lot better than
last year.”
With the school record at 22-3,
Greenwood said he is confident
the junior will set a new benchmark, if not this year than definitely next year.
Greenwood said what makes
Stowe so successful is his natural
ability combined with his 6'4",
200-pound frame.
With one member of his team
qualifying for the biggest meet in
the state, Point Beach coach Bill
Evans said he was happy with the
way his team performed at the
Group I meet.
“Katie White ran better than
she did at the section meet which
was nice, and Kolby ran basically
the same time as at the sectional,”
he said. “For a freshmen it’s just an
honor to get to the group championship.”
Events at South Plainfield were
scheduled to start on Wednesday
and continue into the weekend.

last year,” he said. “It was a fun
time and having more experience
definitely helped me out in certain
situations.”
The senior said that while the
Ocean County team had good
golfers on its roster, “Monmouth
just had some great golfers and
they’re tough to beat.”
While he was the only member
of the Point Boro squad on the
Ocean County team, Puorro said
he knew his teammates well from
their times competing against each
other and from playing on area
courses outside of school.
“I’ve been competing with them
for a while, been talking to them
for a while and playing on the
weekends so it’s really good to be
playing with them,” he said.
Puorro said there is a definite
rivalry between the Ocean County
and Monmouth County golfers,
but it is a rivalry that will continue
after his graduation.

team, Puorro could not defeat his

Puorro said he enjoyed his second time at the Shore Challenge
and said he believed his experience
at last year’s challenge helped bolster his efforts this year.

WATCH YOUR TONE!
Woman may focus primarily on wrinkled skin
as the most obvious sign of aging, but it is not the
only skin condition that seemingly adds years to
a face. Uneven skin tone also provides an indication of advancing age. This much was made very
clear by a study in which researchers removed
fine lines and wrinkles from the images of
women’s faces. The only distinguishing characteristics that remained were skin-tone variations
such as blotchiness, freckles, and age spots.
When these images were judged by over 400
“raters,” the faces with the more even skin tone
were judged to be younger, healthier, and prettier. In fact, uneven pigmentation was found to add
ten to fifteen years to a woman’s perceived age.

with a single of his own. Fink was
up next and hit a deep fly ball to
center to score Mullins before
Hine singled to center to score
Matera.
The game was out of reach for
the Braves but they tacked on
another run in the sixth. The
Merchants meanwhile added
another two runs in the top of the
seventh just to give them a little
more padding.
For Matera, it was a welcome
return to the Merchants fold after
two years away. Having gone 4-5,
and contributing a significant
portion of the offense, Matera
said it felt good to be back.
“I was seeing the ball well and
hitting is contagious,” he said. “I
love to contribute and help the
team out.”

Wywra was happy with the way
the game went overall.
“It felt pretty good. I haven’t
pitched in three or four weeks so I
wasn’t hurting and I just kept
going,” he said.
Entering his second year on the
team, Wywra said he enjoys not
only the success, but also the team
chemistry.
“The kids are good here and
everybody gets along,” he said.
Merchants manager Art
Rooney said he was pleased with
the way the team performed,
especially considering some of the
players were just meeting for the
first time.
“Considering it was the first
game of the season and we didn’t
have a chance to get together
before that I was very impressed,”
he said.

said no two teams are alike.
“They all have their own unique
personalities,” he said. “We have
some kids who are still playing
college ball and want to continue
to get better, and we have some
older guys who can be a good
influence on the younger ones.”

still got the runs they needed to
pull out a 7-4 win.
On Saturday, the Pirates
scored all three of their runs in
the home half of the seventh
inning, but the Hitmen took
advantage of two errors, four singles and a walk to bring two runs
home in the top of the 10th
inning to get the win.
After Drew Zanowic grounded out to start the bottom of the
seventh, Rob Donnelly picked up
a single for the Pirates’ third hit
of the game to get things going.
After him, Jim Squillante walked
and Jim Schweitzer hit a twoRBI single to get his team on the
board. Schweitzer eventually
came around to score to give his
team its third, and final, run.
The pitching for the Pirates
was solid, as John Rose and Pete
Chomiak worked together to
hold the Hitmen in check as best
they could. Rose threw four
innings, striking out five and
walking two. Chomiak threw six
innings, striking out five while
giving up three walks.
In the Sunday game, the
Pirates scored once in the third
and three times in the fifth, but
could not get the hits they needed in the sixth to pick up the victory.

SCHOOL NEWS AND VIEWS
Point Pleasant student’s artwork
enhances Holocaust awareness
The Center for Holocaust
Studies
at
Brookdale
Community College recently
recognized Point Pleasant
Borough High School sophomore Sabrina Hayes for her twodimensional
drawing
of
Holocaust victim Mania Halef.
Submitted as an entry into the
Annual Luna Kaufman Writing
and Art Contest, Sabrina’s art
work was recognized along with
forty other pieces created by students from all across New Jersey
in grades five through 12. On
display at the Center for
Holocaust Studies during April
and May, the student art works
explored a variety of Holocaustrelated themes.
Sabrina chose to address the
1941 massacre at Babi Yar in
Kiev, the capital city of the
Ukraine. During the Nazi occupation of the city, over 100,000
people, including Halef, were
killed. She explained that she
was inspired to address this subject after hearing stories from a
grandmother who is originally
from Ukraine.
The drawing shows the twoyear-old Halef standing in front
of a concentration camp fence. A
letter written in Russian asking
all Jews to assemble at a location
that would later become a mass
execution site serves as a backdrop for the tragic scene of a
doomed young girl.
“There are so many disturbing depictions of the mass
killings that occurred during the

Holocaust,” said Sabrina. “I
wanted to create a piece that was
personal but that also captured
the scale of this tragedy.”
She explained that she became
interested in the project after her
art teacher Sheila Soyster
encouraged her to enter the contest. She said that Soyster is constantly pushing her students to
find ways to have their art work
recognized.
While Sabrina created the
drawing for her two-dimensional art class, she says that she
learned a lot about history
through the project.
“I did a lot of research on the
Babi Yar massacre and looked at
many pictures from the time
period,” she said. “The picture of
Mania Halef immediately captured my attention when I saw it.
She was so young and so innocent. It really makes you feel outrage over the Holocaust.”
“We
experience
history
through both the written word
and art,” said high school
Principal Dr. John Staryak.
“Sabrina’s piece is a powerful
illustration of one of the darkest
periods in human history. It really conveys the tragic nature of
the Holocaust and why we
should always remember the
consequences of hatred.”
On May 9, Sabrina Hayes was
presented with an award for her
art work at the Center’s Annual
Colloquium for Students and
Teachers ceremony.
June 17th
Seniors in Nick Gattuso’s
Advanced Web Site Design class
at Point Pleasant Borough High
School recently joined the fight
against breast cancer by volunteering to redesign the web site for
the nonprofit organization, A
Girl’s Breast Friend.
The students worked with the
organization’s co-founders Patsy
O’Brien and Deana Aiello on
developing a new web site design
and logo for the breast cancer support organization.
“The new web site will offer
young women and mother’s suffering from breast cancer a place
to go for information on coping
with the emotional and physical
challenges that come with the disease,” said Ms. O’Brien.
“Everything from the latest breast
cancer research to how to receive
free support services will be available on the web site.”
Mrs. O’Brien, a breast cancer
survivor herself, says she could not
have beaten the disease without
the support of her close friend,
Deana Aiello. Inspired by the
strength that grew out of their
friendship, the two decided to create A Girl’s Breast Friend as a way
of reaching out to those diagnosed
with the disease, as well as their
friends and family.
According to Mrs. O'Brien,
young women facing a mastectomy and the baldness that comes
with chemotherapy often feel
stripped of their femininity. This
identity change can make dealing
with the disease’s physical challenges seem overwhelming. A
Girl’s Breast Friend helps women
maintain their sense of identity
and focus on beating the disease.
The organization advances its
mission of physical and emotional
support by connecting current
breast cancer patients with breast
cancer survivors. Through this
support network, the survivors
give current patients advice on
how to overcome the disease.
“You need someone to turn to
when you get that diagnosis,” said
Mrs. Aiello. “Who better than
someone that has been in your
shoes and can tell you from experience that there is hope.
Mrs. O’Brien and Mrs. Aiello
decided to reach out to the high
school when they heard how a
previous web site design class
helped the Ocean’s of Love
organization. Another nonprofit,
Ocean’s of Love, provides support
services for children diagnosed
with all forms of cancer.
“Working with organizations
like A Girl’s Breast Friend and
Ocean’s of Love really gets students energized about learning,”
said teacher Nick Gattuso. “I am
always amazed at how some of the
more reluctant students rise to the
occasion when they see the difference their contributions can
make.”
“Partnering with nonprofit
organizations and government
agencies allow students the
opportunity to learn by applying
their skills in the real world,” Mr.
Gattuso went on to explain. This
educational philosophy has led to
a series of student-led, web site
redesign efforts that include the
Ocean County Prosecutors
Office, Ocean’s of Love and now
A Girl’s Breast Friend.
Mrs. O’Brien says the redesign
will allow her organization to provide updates on the latest research
into breast cancer treatment. The
web site will also be used to raise
awareness of the free services A
Girl’s Breast Friend offers breast
cancer patients. Some of these
services include free transportation to hospitals, free house cleaning and nutrition advice.
“I really enjoyed working with
the students on the redesign
effort,” said Mrs. O’Brien. “They
were totally committed to turning
our vision for the web site into a
reality.”
The lead designers on the project included Joseph Caporaso,
Laura Kay, Brian McCabe,
Richard
Rodriguez, Lucas
Sullivan and Nicole Terranova.
Other students in the advanced
web site design class also contributed to the effort.
“Through this project, our students were able to put into practice valuable skills that will help
them succeed in our increasingly
technologically advanced society,”
said Superintendent Robert
Ciliento. “Advancing an important cause like breast cancer also
strengthens character. I am thankful to Mr. Gattuso and the representatives from A Girl’s Breast
Friend for making this wonderful
partnership possible.”

In 2004 an anonymous group [in violation of election laws] called
“Residents for Integrity & Trust” similarly spent thousands of dollars in
mailers and ads endorsing McCarthy. As a demonstration of their own
integrity, Beeden and McCarthy should divulge to the public the identities
of the sources of those funds.
The essence of the matter is that politics in Point Pleasant has degenerated into some sort of machiavellian blood sport with exploited cheerleaders. The taxpayer is the forgotten man.

DEMOCRATS & THE POLITICS OF PERSONAL DESTRUCTION
Editor, The Ocean Star:
There is little doubt that Point Pleasant Beach has been and remains a
Republican town, despite Democrat Mike DiCicco’s remark that party
affiliation on the local level is meaningless. The Republican Party has been
responsible for many notable developments in Point Pleasant Beach, but it
seems to have lost its way. And this may be one reason the Democrats currently enjoy a 5-2 majority on the town council. There is, however, another reason for Democrat success in recent elections-their willingness to use
the politics of personal destruction in order to achieve victory.
When Kristine Tooker and I announced our intent to run as Republican
candidates for the two council seats, we adopted the slogan, “New faces and
a fresh approach — without the politics of personal destruction,” for a reason. In recent elections, Democrats in Point Pleasant Beach have used
innuendo, smear and distortions to defeat or damage Republican candidates. We have been wondering how long it would take Democrats to use
this trademark tactic against us. Well, we didn’t wait long. Mr. DiCicco’s
letter to the editor [ June 1] is the essence of the politics of personal destruction which Democrats, like Mike DiCicco and Mike Corbally, have
monopolized in past elections and this election promises more of the same.
In the late 1800s, Peter Finley Dunne wrote, “Politics ain’t beanbag.” The
Democrat party has added an entirely new meaning to the expression.
In his letter, Mr. DiCicco, a Democrat states Kristine and I have a “blind
allegiance to party,” yet he wrote the letter on behalf of another Democrat.
It is disingenuous of Mr. DiCicco not to mention he is a Democrat in the
letter. Instead he talks of consensus while accusing Kristine and I of “overly partisan politics.” Apparently Mr. DiCicco would like voters to associate
Democrats with consensus, while ignoring Mr. DiCicco’s overly partisan
politics during the campaign of 2004.
Furthermore, Mr. DiCicco suggests Kristine and I believe there are
“Republican seats” on the governing body and that Republicans have a
“preordained entitlement” to those seats. These remarks are evidence of the
politics of personal destruction — i.e., smear, damage, and deceive.
There are other examples of the willingness of Democrats to use this
negative tactic to secure political success:
• When Bill Ammiarata, a Republican, sought elected office recently, the
Democrats accused him of being a shill for the Storino Family because he
worked for them for one or two weeks.
• When I became a candidate, a Democrat candidate said to me,
“Nothing personal.” In other words, the politics of personal destruction is
going to happen and I shouldn’t take these ad hominem attacks personally. This is how the Democrat Party achieves consensus.
The voters of Point Pleasant Beach need to be clear about this —
Kristine and I will focus on the issues residents care about without using
innuendo, smear, and distortion. The voters of Point Pleasant Beach —
both Republican and Democrat — must recognize the scorched-earth policy Democrats use at election time and reject it for what it is-the politics of
personal destruction. Kristine and I believe that is what the residents of
Point Pleasant Beach deserve from their elected officials.

PLEASE READ BETWEEN MY LINES
Editor, The Ocean Star:
The Friends of Pat [Gottschalk] letters have been coming out every
week in this newspaper. The latest one written by someone giving us a history lesson reminds me of Pat’s letter last year about “Integrity and Trust.”
Since this history bluff touched on the 2004 election, she conveniently
failed to mention the group calling themselves “Residents for Integrity &
Trust.” This group was investigated by the Election Law Enforcement
Commission [ELEC] for failure to file disclosure statements of whom they
were and where their monies came from. Coincidently in their flier was
vote for “Integrity & Trust.”
I’m sure there’s no connection with Pat’s letter for “Integrity & Trust.” I
don’t think that the Republican chairperson who resigned her position and
her county $25,000 a year job at a youth detention center would stoop to
that level.
Oh by the way dear reader, I’m a member of that same Republican club
this letter writer warned you about, so I have to remind you to please read
between my lines here.
And speaking about this letter writer, I remember at a council meeting
one night with Pat there, she got up, and I guess it might have been paranoia or something, because she starts talking about all of this crime going
on around her in town, and how the Council needs to protect the people.
Considering that our town’s budget has gone up 50 percent in the past hree
years, and last year in one of the writer’s own open letter ads in this paper,
she said people in this town are having a hard time paying their property
taxes as those taxes continue their upward spiral. So how can you complain
about spiraling property taxes, and at the same time want to hire more
police personnel Ms. Beeden?
So as Mr. Kennell said in his letter about Pat, which I mentioned about
two months ago, back in the April 6, edition of this paper, which was read
at the school budget meeting by school board president Joan Speroni supposedly to embarrass Mr. Kennell, saying that Pat has been pulling strings
behind the scenes and raising your taxes, owns no property, bares repeating.
But what is even more ironic is that this phony “Integrity & Trust” gang
back in 2004 supported Democrat, Shawn McCarthy, who also owns no
property, and on his watch the budget has gone up a shocking almost 17
percent each year, and now he wants you to reelect him?

And while he was once again
the only member of his team competing in the tournament, Stuhler
said knowing other participants
made the environment more comfortable.
The sophomore said the biggest
changes in his game from his
freshman year to this year have
been both physical and psychological. “I probably played smarter
this year, and my serve definitely
improved over last season.”
Stuhler said with the end of the
of the Season for the spring 2007.

what would sports fans talk about

he will spend a bulk of his summer
working to improve his game for
next year.
While this year was certainly
success for Stuhler as an individual, he said he was also very happy
with how things went for the
Garnet Gull team this year.
“We had a really good season,”
he said, adding that while the
team did well during the regular
season, it would work to improve
in the state tournament after making a first round exit this season.
Going into next year, Stuhler
said he hopes to help his team
improve in tournaments and he
hopes to make a third trip to
Mercer County Park.
Eighth-grade class holds second annual Portfolio Day
By Brian McGinn
Last year, the eighth-grade
class at the G. Harold Antrim
Elementary School participated
in the first Portfolio Day.
During that event, members of
the community, such as reporters,
bankers and public officials, were
invited to the school to speak to
the students about their work
and reviewed the reports written
by members of the eighth-grade
class.
While that event was a success,
Karen Deacon, a language arts
teacher at Antrim and organizer
of this year’s Portfolio Day, wanted to make a change for the
event’s second time around.
So, instead of the eighth-grade
students sharing their work with
members of the community, Ms.
Deacon decided to invite some of
the AP English students from
Point Pleasant Beach High
School to serve as the event’s
experts.
On May 23, a total of 19 AP
English IV students from Point
Beach High School were at the
Antrim School to work with the
eighth-graders.
According to Ms. Deacon,
throughout the morning, the students from the high school were
paired with an eighth-grade student. The high school students
read the work of their younger
counterparts and offered constructive criticism.
Following the review session,
each pair of students read a news
article and, together, they picked
a position on the issue they read
about and developed a persuasive
response.
Ms. Deacon said it was great to
see the two different grade levels
working together on a common
goal.
“The eighth-graders really
responded well to the seniors,”
Ms. Deacon said. “They were
very receptive to the advice seniors gave them, I think because
they are older students, not
adults.
“They could relate to them
easier,” she added.
Ms. Deacon said she was also
very impressed with the way the
seniors from the high school handled themselves.
“It was a very positive experience, for everyone,” she said.
Following the reviews and creation of a persuasive essay, the
entire group had an outdoor
social, which Ms. Deacon said
was also fun.
The language arts teacher said
she is unsure what the exact format of the third annual Portfolio
Day will be, though she said the
planning has already begun.
— DARE —
she had learned right from
wrong.
“The skits teach you to be
confident and assertive in all that
you do,” she read from her essay.
“I pledge to remain drug, alcohol
and smoke free to be the most
successful I can be.”
Meghan Poland said that
through D.A.R.E. she had
learned how to make the best
choices for herself.
“I believe I am ready for the
sixth grade,” she read from her
essay. “Whenever I am faced
with a decision I am unsure of
[Officer Mike’s] voice will pop
into my head and help me get
through it.”
Mayor Martin Konkus also
presented one student from each
class with an inspirational award
— an award for getting caught
doing something good.
“We are going to celebrate
those who have been caught in
the act of doing something
good,” said Mayor Konkus.
Those
receiving
the
Inspirational Awards were:
Ashley Kavanagh, Matt LeFalce,
Robert McCourt and Kimberly
Simpson, all from Ocean Road
School.
Also, Samantha Daniels,
Brandy Martin, Frank Savino,
Matt Glidden, Samantha Lassen
and Sarah Conboy, all from
Nellie Bennett.
The essay winners from Nellie
Bennett Elementary School who
read their essays at Thursday’s
D.A.R.E. graduation ceremony
were KerryAnn DeMeester,
Elizabeth Brennan, Taylor
Thrunk, Ryan Powell, Danielle
Zambito and Brenda Quesada.

learned ways to stand up to peer
pressure.
Daniel Gonella said he had
learned that violence, pressure
and even people could be harmful in his essay.
“Every single lesson has had
an impact on me,” he read.

§ 24-14. Scope and establishment of rules.
In order to allow customers of Borough of Lavallette electric utility the opportunity of interconnecting with selfgeneration equipment to the Borough of Lavallette electric distribution system, the following rules and provisions

Borough of Lavallette electric utility unless the customer notifies the Borough of Lavallette electric utility and all
necessary equipment, in the opinion of the Borough of Lavallette electric utility, is properly installed to isolate the
generating equipment from the Borough of Lavallette electric utility system.
B. The Borough of Lavallette electric utility will assist the customer in evaluating the feasibility of the proposed
self-generation project, in particular helping the customer evaluate the economics of the project after taking into
account the customer's responsibility and obligation to pay all interconnection costs.
§ 24-16. General Requirements.
A. No self-generating equipment or facility may be connected to the Borough of Lavallette electric utility without express authorization from the Borough of Lavallette electric utility and unless the requirements contained in
this Rule are fully and completely satisfied.
B. The customer must provide complete plans and specifications of the proposed equipment, including a single-line diagram and details of proposed protective schemes. Plans must be certified by an electrical engineer. Upon
receipt of the certified plans and a fee of $4,500.00, as provided in § 24-16.G. below to compensate the Borough
of Lavallette electric utility for the cost of engineering services provided herein, the Borough of Lavallette electric
utility will provide specific switching, breaker, and isolation plans for installation at the customer's expense. Any

C. Installation must be in compliance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable municipal, county,
and federal codes or regulations.
D. Prior to connection to the Borough of Lavallette electric utility system, the equipment and interconnection
shall be inspected by the Borough of Lavallette electric utility or its qualified representative. Inspections undertaken by the Borough of Lavallette electric utility shall be undertaken solely for the purpose of determining compliance with the proposed plans and for the safety and integrity of the Borough of Lavallette electric utility system.
Nothing done by the Borough of Lavallette electric utility inspector shall constitute approval or waiver by any other
inspector who may be authorized to inspect such facility and interconnection.
E. Prior to interconnection with the Borough of Lavallette electric utility system, the customer shall enter into
a written agreement with the Borough of Lavallette electric utility. In addition to the operating provisions contained
in these Rules, this agreement shall permit unlimited right of entry to the customer's property for safety reasons or
to disconnect whenever the Borough of Lavallette electric utility believes that continued operation of the self-generation equipment could result in harm to the Borough of Lavallette electric utility system or employees or to a customer of the Borough of Lavallette electric utility. Borough of Lavallette electric utility employees shall have the
right to inspect and test the interconnection facilities during reasonable hours. This agreement also shall require the
safe operation of the equipment or facility, indemnification of the Borough of Lavallette electric utility for damages
of any type, including, but not limited to direct, consequential, punitive damages, to the Borough of Lavallette electric utility or any other customer as a result of the operation of the self-generation equipment or facility.

review of the plans for equipment and the proposed isolation scheme, voltage regulation, wiring, labor, special
metering, and inspection. Borough of Lavallette electric utility shall provide a good faith estimate of the cost of
reviewing the plans, inspections, and for the cost of all equipment that may be necessary to interconnect the selfgenerating equipment with the Borough of Lavallette electric utility, and the customer shall pay the Borough of
Lavallette electric utility the full amount of the good faith estimate. Any amounts not expended shall be returned
to the customer. Any additional costs reasonably incurred by the Borough of Lavallette electric utility to complete
the interconnection with the customer shall be paid to the Borough of Lavallette electric utility prior to interconnection. The customer shall be responsible for the cost of periodic testing of the interconnection facilities.
H. The customer shall not change any aspect of the operation, the wiring, the controls, or the interconnection
of the self-generation equipment without first providing prior written notice to the Borough of Lavallette electric
utility of all proposed changes to the plans or the as-built drawings, as the case may be. All changes or proposed
changes shall be certified by an electrical engineer, in the same manner as provided in § 24-16.A. above. This information is essential for determining whether the existing interconnection equipment is adequate for the requirements

incurred by the Borough of Lavallette electric utility to review and inspect the proposed installation.
I. Self-generating equipment that is intended to operate in parallel with the Borough of Lavallette electric utility shall be subject to a contract that provides for such interconnected parallel operation.
