The pharmacy had closed at 3 p.m. Flannigan observed a 1991 steel blue Mercury station wagon, with an inverted triangle and the name of the cab company on the back two windows, was running and the headlights were on. According to Chief John Pollinger, Flannigan investigated further and discovered Gelhaus in the front seat with multiple stab wounds. Robert A. Honecker Jr., second assistant prosecutor, said the police department and prosecutor’s office are trying to put together Gelhaus’ movements just before he was murdered. According to Gelhaus’ log, he responded to a call at the Crestview Pharmacy at 2:30 p.m. “The caller wanted to go to Sea Bright,” Honecker said. “We are hoping that the caller will come forward. That person may be the last one who saw Gelhaus alive,” Ho­ necker said. According the Honecker, the log is still being analyzed. “This investigation is only 24 hours old,” he said at a press conference held at Middletown police headquarters on Monday. “We don’t know if he actually went to Sea Bright or if he went elsewhere in between.” They also do not know if any money is missing or if the victim knew his assailant, Pollinger said. “We have not ruled out anything,” he said. “We have several pieces of evidence, but we don’t know yet if one of them may have been the weapon.” According to an autopsy performed by M onm outh County Medical Examiner Dr. Karib Sinha, Gelhaus died of T Continued on pagtf 25 Alan Christoe, Matawan, rebuilt this foot bridge at Terhune Park in Matawan to earn the rank of Eagle Scout.

The borough has long been represented by Schoor DePalma, Manalapan, but the council is considering changing firms fol­ lowing the recent resignation of longtime Borough Engineer Robert Bucco from Schoor DePalma. A t the c o u n c il’ s Jan. 13 meeting, Mayor Robert D. Clifton said the borough had received proposals from five large firm s in the area, in clud in g Schoor DePalma, Manalapan, and T&M Asso­ ciates, Middletown, as well as Bucco’s new firm, French and Parillo, which is located in Holmdel. Proposals from two smaller firms were also received shortly before the meeting, the mayor said. The council plans to interview at least the five larger firms tomorrow. Since the interviews involve personnel matters, they will take place in closed ses­ sion. At the council’s Jan. 1 organization meeting, introduction of a resolution nam­ ing French and Parillo the borough’s engi­ neering firm for the year was held. At the meeting, Clifton said the council was still considering the issue and that Schoor DePalma would serve as the bor­ ough’s engineering firm until Jan. 30. Following that meeting, Clifton said the council will “try to get the best deal for Matawan” as they choose an engi­ neering firm , ad d in g that re tain in g Bucco as borough engineer would have its benefits, citing Bucco’s knowledge of the borough and the work done there in the past. A current Middletown resident, Bucco grew up in Matawan and is the son of longtime Borough Clerk Madeline Bucco. He is also the current Middletown Board ‘W hen w e g e t to th e p e rm a n e n t b u d g e t, w e h ave to lo o k a t th e d e p a rtm e n ts and d e cid e h o w w e w a n t to cut. I w a n t to ta k e it o n a case -b y-ca se basis.’ Robert D. Clifton Matawan m ayor of Education president. Also at the meeting, the council again voted on a 1998 temporary budget that pares spending from 25 percent of last year’ s budget (plus additio nal ex­ penditures where necessary) to 17.5 per­ cent. The council hopes to introduce the bor­ ough’s permanent budget on Feb. 10, then “try to get it passed and adopted as soon . v;VJ 1f»r6XJ MrA as possible,” the mayor said . The vote followed what Clifton termed a “miscommunication” among borough officials. While the council discussed cutting the budget’s operating expenses by 7.5 per­ cent and, later, 15 percent, the temporary budget passed Jan. 6 actually cuts 30 per­ cent from operating expenses in the bor­ ough, Borough A dm inistrator Joseph Scranton said. R e p ub lican council members Bea D uffy, Joseph Penniplede and Joseph Wallace voted in favor of the temporary budget, while Democrats Patrick Falcon, Jim Shea and Laurie Thomas-Zalepka voted against it. The resolution passed when Clifton, a Republican, broke the tie. Clifton said he favored the cuts be­ cause they send a message that the council wants the “ steepest possible cut for Matawan.” As for the permanent budget for 1998, Clifton said, “When we get to the per­ manent budget, we have to look at the departments and decide how we want to cut. I want to take it on a case-by-case basis.” Shea said on Jan. 16 that he voted against the temporary budget because the council failed to make personnel cuts requested by the Democrats on the coun­ cil. Shea also said that he and his fellow Democrats are “not trying to be obstruc­ tionists” and predicted that “our role as a vocal minority will reap benefits come final budget time.” “ There are three o f us n o w ,” he noted. 4 , INDEPENDENT, JANUARY 21, 1998 Traffic dominates Fieldcrest hearing R.OADS 4 e “S e a t S u w tm & i *V <zoA tcoit 'A G E S ' t? < n S w tty (?A cC d 3-15 S p o rts C lin ic s r u n by O ffic ia l c o n c e r n e d P ro fe ss io n a l A th le te s a b o u t tr a ffic * N ew W a te r P a rk o n H e a te d P ools & W a te r s lid e s F ly in g T ra p e z e R o ad BY M ELANIE SCHROEDER * H o r s e b a c k - R id in g F u n T rip s S ta ff W r ite r HOLM DEL — Traffic increases re­ mained the major issue at a continued Planning Board hearing last week on the REG IST E R at OPEN H O U SE and SAVE $50.

The 115-lot development is planned for the 100-acre Willey tract on the east side of Telegraph Hill Road near the Bethany Road intersection. Developer Sherman Siegel of Old Bridge is also seeking approval for a com­ panion development called Holmdel Ridge on the 75-acre Ackerson tract on Holmdel Road. Holmdel Ridge includes 57 single­ family residences and a 70-unit senior cit­ izen rental building that will include some affordable units. Area developer Joseph Manzo owns both sites. The main concern at last week’s meet­ ing was the increased traffic impact on the Telegraph Hill Road-Bethany Road inter­ section just north of the Fieldcrest site. Bethany Road is a major east-west cor­ ridor in the township, but, according to Mayor Robert Giannone, much of the traf­ fic on the road is from other surrounding towns. For that reason, the township hopes to turn responsibility for this corridor over to the county. A portion of the road also serves as part of the border between Holmdel and Hazlet to the north. Daniel Malcolm, a member of the Hazlet Planning Board, said he fears in­ creased traffic from the development will create traffic backups on Telegraph Hill Road and Bethany Road, decreasing the quality of life along Bethany Road, and that such congestion issues be more “seri­ ously considered.” Malcolm also noted the backed-up traf­ fic could get stuck on the Bethany Road railroad crossing just north of the Holmdel border and also block emergency vehicles from getting to Route 35. Giannone said in a later interview that the amount of traffic created by the devel­ opment would be a very small percentage of total traffic on the road. “People get the wrong impression of the impact that residential developments have on traffic,” he said. The Township Committee recently authorized Township Engineer Ed Broberg to proceed with preliminary engineering for a traffic signal at the Telegraph Hill Road-Bethany Road intersection, and Broberg is going to meet with county offi­ cials to discuss the plans. The township would like Siegel to con­ tribute funds to the Telegraph Hill RoadBethany Road traffic signal, according to Giannone. “Our aim is to get them to share the cost of the light,” he said. There has also been talk about having Siegel contribute improvements to the Bethany Road-Holmdel Road inter­ section, located a short distance west of Telegraph Hill Road. Since Holmdel Road is a county road, the county, not the township, is responsible for im ­ provements to the road. The township also has plans to widen Bethany Road to prevent drivers waiting to turn left onto Telegraph Hill Road from creating traffic backups. Currently vehi­ cles cannot get around left-turning vehi­ cles at this intersection. At the Planning Board meeting, Elise Donovan, 712 Holmdel Road, suggested that Bethany Road improvements also C ontinued on next page INDEPENDENT. JANUARY 21, 1998 5 v.

Revenue projec­ tions include a 1.5 percent increase from the county for a total of $19,871,834. The college anticipates state aid to total $9,343,746, which includes a $359,375 increase reflect­ ing an increase in Brookdale’s share of student enrollment statewide. C apital funds approved by the board will be used to construct a new state-of-the-art library, to renovate the Performing Arts Center and make other improvements to the Lincroft campus, as well as the Bayshore and Long Branch off-campus sites. These projects are all id e n tifie d in the Brookdale facilities master plan. The capital budget, which includes minor capital approved by the board, totals $14,802,021. The “minor capi­ ta l” budget, in the am ount of $3,462,021, will be used to purchase instructional and administrative com­ puting equipment, laboratory equip­ ment and other instructional equip­ ment, and furniture and fixtures. This new program reflects the ongoing efforts of fulfilling the college’s facil­ ities master plan first announced in 1993. “Through the vision and leadership of the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders and with the matching support provided by our state legislators, Monmouth County residents have seen our $40 million of new construction and renovation put into Brookdale in the past five years,” Dr. Peter Burnham , president of Brookdale, said. The Board of School Estimate will hold a public hearing on the budget on Feb. 19. _____________ _______________________________________________________INDEPENDENT, JANUARY 21, 1998 7 _______________________________________________________ _________ Sides waiting for fact-finder report M id d le to w n M T E A b o ard , p r e s e n t th e ir c a s e s to ta x p a y e rs BY M ARY DEMPSEY St af f Wr i t e r M IDD LET OW N — Contract negotia­ tions between the Board of Education and the M iddletow n Township Education Association (MTEA) is again heating up in anticipation o f the Public Employee Relations Commission appointed fact­ finder’s report due out before the end of this month. The MTEA has been working under an expired contract since July 1996. Two weeks ago, the board negotiations committee sent out a newsletter to town­ ship residents. In response to the committee’s publi­ cation, the M T EA mailed a newsletter expressing its view on the contract issues. According to the negotiations com ­ mittee’ s January newsletter, three costsavings proposals and three productivity proposals were made. The committee proposed increased productivity from M T EA members by creating a “longer and more flexible workday and longer work year without additional cost.” A dding a sixth teaching period for “some m iddle school and high school teachers” was also proposed by the com­ mittee. The final productivity proposal made by the committee asked for a reduction “on staff assignments allowing adminis­ tration to schedule staff more efficiently.” “R e q uiring teachers in grades six through 12 to teach one more class will not benefit your children in any way. Students will not have one more minute of instruction, not one additional course, not any benefit at all,” the MTEA said in its December/January newsletter. In its newsletter, the committee ex­ pressed its wishes to limit MTEA salary R o b b e r y a r r e s te d increases, require employee contribution for health benefits and reduce board liti­ gation costs. The committee offered the MTEA no cost-of-living increase in the first year of the contract and salary increases below the cost-of-living rate for the final two years of the agreement. The negotiations committee proposed a 0 percent salary increase in the first year o f the new contract and 2.5 percent increase in each of the two remaining years of the agreement. “The work we do results in higher than average test scores for your children. Why should we accept lower than the 4.6 per­ cent average raise? ... The facts show that the board can afford to pay the average rate,” the MTEA said in its newsletter. In addition, the committee proposed MTEA members to pay one-third of their health insurance premiums. “In Middletown, teachers already pay $500 family deductibles and at least the first $1,300 of medical costs each year. That’s far more than average for teachers in New Jersey,” the M T EA newsletter said. According to the new health insurance premium rates, one-third of insurance pre­ miums range from $75 for single cover­ age to $242 per month for family cover­ . age per employee. The proposed contribution amount is dependent on the level of coverage cho­ sen by each employee. W hile the district’s average teacher salary is approximately $50,000 per year, 10 percent of MTEA members are secre­ taries whose average salaries total less than half of the teachers annual pay. “M T EA members currently pay the highest insurance deductible in M on­ mouth County. In addition, no teachers in Monmouth County contribute to health benefits,” Bette Shreiber, first vice presi­ dent of the MTEA, said. The committee’s newsletter also noted its accomplishments negotiating contracts s u s p e c t is in BY L IN D A D eN IC O LA St af f Wr i t e r M IDD LET OW N — The suspect in a Jan. 8 armed robbery at an Amoco gas station was arrested last week after police in Carteret responded to a tele­ type issued by Middletown police. The suspect, John Stasincky, 28, of Rahway, allegedly walked into the gas station at Palmer Avenue and Route 36 and requested a pack of cigarettes. After the attendant gave him the cigarettes, Stasincky allegedly request­ ed all of the money in the cash drawer, police said. W hen the attendant, who speaks limited English, said he did not under­ stand, Stasincky displayed a black handgun, according to police. Detective Sgt. John Capriotti said C a r te r e t that when the suspect could not com­ municate with the attendant, the sus­ pect got scared and ran off without the money. After Stasincky was arrested in Carteret for allegedly attempting to rob a gas station there, Detective Sgt. Den­ nis McFadden of the Carteret Police Department recognized a pattern and got in touch with Detective* Richard Rast of the Middletown Police Depart­ ment. Rast went to Carteret on Jan. 9 to question Stasincky, who in itia lly denied his involvem ent in the Middletown case. Stasincky has also been charged w ith armed robbery in Rahw ay, Capriotti said. Stasincky is being held at the M id­ dlesex C ounty A d u lt Correction Center, North Brunswick. contract with Teamsters Local 11. In its agreement with the board, Local 11 will receive a 3.5 percent raise for each year of the contract. Members are required to contribute a total of $350 per year, or $35 per month, to their health benefits. Administrators, MTEA members and Local 11 members receive the same health insurance options. On Dec. 10 the board approved Blue Cross/Blue Shield as the new district health insurance carrier by a 6-1 vote. Blue Cross/Blue Shield was chosen to replace the district’s current health insur­ ance carrier C onnecticut General (CIGNA). Early last year, CIG N A informed the board of a 44 percent premium increase to the district by Feb. 1. The rate increase w o uld have cost the district ap­ proximately $9.2 m illion, according to Robinson. between the board and the administrators and custodial and maintenance employ­ ees. Administrators will receive a 2.9 per­ cent raise for each year of the new threeyear agreement, according to the commit­ tee’s newsletter. The contract requires administrators to make an annual $ 1,000 employee con­ tribution to health benefits or $100 per month. Administrators have contributed to health insurance premiums for the last six years, according to Board Secre­ tary/School Business A d m inistrato r Steven Robinson. . “Administrators contributed $1,200 in the 1994-95 school year, $1,100 in 1995­ 96 and $1,000 in 1996-97. For the next three years the administrators will con­ tribute $ 1,000 per year towards health insurance,” Robinson said.

Christoe re­ turned with his family to his native Matawan after spending more than three years living in Holland. He came back not only to his home­ town, but also to Troop 66 , the Matawanbased Boy Scout Troop he left behind be­ fore his father’s job took the family over­ seas. Most of his friends still belonged to the troop, providing an incentive for his return to S co uting after such a long absence, but he also went back with a goal in mind. “It was important to me to (achieve) Eagle,” Alan said last week. Eagle Scout is the highest advance­ ment rank in Boy Scouting and one that, according to the Boy Scouts of America, only 2.5 percent of all Boy Scouts earn. On Friday Alan, a senior at the High Tech H igh School at Brookdale Community College, Lincroft, joined that prestigious minority when his Scout-mas­ ter, Bob Shea, presented him with the Eagle Scout award. The presentation took place at a Court of Honor, the traditional ceremony held to recognize and welcome new Eagle Scouts. B than I expected.” A major goal of the community project is for the Scout to not only plan and de­ velop the project, but to demonstrate his leadership as well. Alan said his experience as a Scout helped in that area, and predicted that the leadership qualities, along with the plan­ ning and organizational skills he has gained during his Scouting years will help him in the future. A soccer and tennis player at the High Tech School, Alan plans to study civil en­ gineering and hopes to head to the University of Virginia next fall. Still working on a speech for the cere­ mony the evening before, Alan planned to thank his father, Charles, a project engi­ neer with Lucent Technologies Inc., and mother, Diane, a employee for the coun­ ty’s food stamp division. “They’ ve been really helpful, really supportive,” said Alari, adding that it was they who encouraged him to stay with Scouting at a time when he considered giving up. “Every teen-ager needs a little bit of prodding,” agreed Diane. But not too much. Her middle son, Diane said, has always been “so easy to get along with. (He is) always in a good mood.” Diane recalled the years her sons spent as students of the International School of Amsterdam “an enriching experience for the children.” “Their circle of friends is very wide. They are not limited.” Matawan,” he said on the eve of his Court In attendance were Alan’s friends and of Honor. fellow Scouts, his parents, Charles and Diane, his brothers, Brian, a former Scout With help from his parents and long­ and now a Brookdale student, and Evan, a time M ataw an resident and current Environm ental C om m ission member former Eagle Scout who lives in St. Augustine, Fla.

INDEPENDENT, JANUARY 21, 1998 1 1 How sweet it is: A M a ta w a n h ad h ad no 6 0 0 on the SAT s tu d e n t id e a d o n e 1 she s o w e ll BY L IN D A D eN IC O LA Staff Writer A B E R D E E N — Matawan Regional High School junior Aarti Khanolkar got the surprise of her life when she realized she got a perfect score on her Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT). “I didn’t think I did anywhere near as well,” Aarti said. When she received her results, “I looked all over it and all I could see were 800s. I didn’t think that was my score,” she said, referring to the possible maximum scores on the verbal and math portions of the test. She showed it to her mother, who pointed out to her that the 800s were, in fact, her scores. Aarti thought she had done well on the math section, but she was sure she hadn’t done well on the verbal portion, which she said includes four sections o f verbal questions. By the end of the third section the words weren’t making sense to her. “Y ou’re supposed to find an analogy or a relationship between the words. I did­ n’t see any, so I just started picking any­ thing that seemed close enough,” she recalled. The 16-year-old has lived in Matawan since she was 3 years old and has gone all the way through the Matawan-Aberdeen school system. She has a younger sister, Pooja, a freshman, who also is an outstanding stu­ dent, she said. She attributes their success to her parents’ encouragement. “Education is very important to them, but they also stress doing your best. It’s because of my parents that I made doing my best my goal,” she said. Besides maintaining very good grades, Aarti is involved in many extracurricular activities. She is editor of the school newspaper, plays the clarinet in the marching and concert bands, and is a member of the chamber choir. She also is a member of the Student Council, the National Honor Society and a math honor society. Despite her busy schedule, she always manages to get her homework done on time. “Sometimes, when I have a really busy schedule, I will do my homework ahead of tim e,” she said. “I ’m always working on time management.” The Princeton Review, an SAT prep course Aarti took in August, “helped a lit­ tle,” she said. “I learned to slow down and to read the questions more closely.” PERFECT SCORE — Aarti Khanolkar (I), with her friend Zeba Wunderlich and others, relaxes during a lunch break at Matawan Regional High School. The 16-year-old junior received a perfect 1600 on her SAT. (Augusto F. Menezes/Greater Media) She is looking at colleges in the north­ east, particularly Brown University in Providence, R .I. and Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. She wants to major in science and maybe go on to medical school. “I like the idea of being able to help someone, especially people who might not be able to afford a doctor,” she said. Students can take the SAT their junior year or wait until their senior year. Aarti took it early so she would be able take it again. Obviously that won’t be necessary. According to Patricia Phillips, director of student personnel services at Matawan Regional High School, the 1997-98 SAT statistics are not available. Last year, of the 1,084,725 high school juniors and seniors who took the test, 171 females and 374 males scored a 1600, Phillips said. Under a new scoring system enacted last year, students can miss three ques­ tions, two on the verbal section and one on the math, and still achieve a score of 1600.

On Jan. 10, the 15-year-old freshman died from injuries he sustained after being struck by a car while attempting to ride his bicycle across Route 36 at Laurel Avenue the day before. The entire student body attended the emotionally packed memorial service held in the school’s auditorium. Throughout the service, the school’s choir sang songs in memory of Carlos. Carlos was a member of the school choir. The group honored Carlos by placing a single red rose in a vase on the piano in front of the choir. Cries of grief were heard throughout the audience as friends got up to share memories of Carlos. Each speaker remembered Carlos through tears as they referred to him as fun loving and never sad. “I ’ll never know a more cheerful per­ son than Carlos,” Mike Eagan, a friend of Carlos, said. In heart-wrenching tributes to Carlos, his friends shared their sorrow and loss with fellow students. “It broke our hearts to lose you, Carlos, but you did not go alone. Part of us went with you. I love you, Carlos,” a friend of Carlos said. Heather Rexach, Carlos’ girlfriend, spoke of his ability to “always make peo- REMEMBERING A FRIEND — Friends and classmates of Carlos Robles created a memorial of flowers and candles on the eastbound side of Route 36 and Laurel Avenue where Carlos was struck by a car Jan. 9.

At 2 p.m., as the choir sang “Lean on Me,” the student body slowly and silently left the auditorium. A group of Carlos’ friends gathered in the front of the auditorium and hugged while consoling each other. Carlos was buried on Jan. 14. No charges were filed against Robert Whalen, 36, of Atlantic Highlands, the driver who struck Carlos.

JANUARY 21. 1998 1 3 Holmdel prepares for restructuring BY M E L A N IE SCHRO EDER Staff W r ite r HOLM DEL — Principals at the ele­ mentary and middle school are planning program and schedule changes for the 1998-99 school year when the Indian Hill School expansion is completed. Indian Hill, which presently houses grades four-five, will become a grades three-six school. Village School will house grades K-2 and Satz School, grades seveneight. The third grade is currently located at Village School and the sixth grade is located at Satz. At last week’s Board of Education meeting, Village School Principal Christopher Blejwas explained changes to the art, library and music programs. The media center will now be available to staff and students all day long. There will also be additional scheduled times for classes to work at the library. He said the music room has been up­ dated and is now soundproof. Blejwas also discussed, the concept of “professional meeting times” for teachers, time during which teachers at each grade level could meet on a regular basis to dis­ cuss planning and work on staff training and development. He added that this would allow teachers to deliver more consistency in their teaching of the curriculum as well as share new ideas. Satz School Principal Paul Hart said that next year will not bring any changes to the current academic program. However, he said the schedule will change slightly now that it will be a two grade level school. Students will now have additional opportunities to take band and chorus as subjects. There will still be general chorus at lunch, but students will now be able to take either of these classes by giving up a special every other day. As far as curriculum, coordination of different subjects will be emphasized. However, Hart said that such interdisci­ plinary action will not be used to the ex­ treme, calling for a “more natural mar­ riage” of individual subjects. Indian Hill School Principal Frank Corrado said that the basic academic struc­ ture will remain the same at the school also. However, he said that world languages will now start in third grade and fourthgraders will now get 50 minutes a week on the subjects. Sixth-graders will now study computer education in three two-week units that will provide intensive instruction in keyboard­ ing, database and spreadsheets. There will be a seven-period day with four different lunch periods. Corrado said he expects to have ap­ proximately 250 students per grade level with a total of 1,075 students in the entire building.

JANUARY 21. 1998 1 5 M u r d e r / s u ic id e N .Y district attorney, however, not surprised boro man killed again BY M A R K R O S M A N Staff W r it e r FREEHOLD — The silence of a quiet residential street in the borough was shat­ tered by gunfire and death Thursday morning. Monmouth County Prosecutor John Kaye said that at 9:56 a.m. Freehold Borough police received a 9 11 call from 24 Morris St. Although no one was on the s tu n s phone, police heard noises in the home that led them to respond to the address, he said. Freehold Borough Police C h ie f W illia m Burlew said when officers arrived at the home, they were led to believe a hostage situation was in progress when a woman at the door said, “He has her in a bedroom.” The Freehold Borough officers called an emergency response team from Howell for backup support. The woman who met police at the door, Linda Rosario, told officers that her daughter, Kimberly E. Nolan, 35, and son-in-law, Robert M. Nolan, 40, were involved in some type of domestic inci- V ic t im r e c a l l e d a s a c o m m u n it y c o g ________ BY DICK METZGAR________ Staff W r it e r FREEHOLD — A lot of people in the borough said they got to know and like Kimberly E. Nolan, 35, during the five years she and her family lived on Morris Street. A number of people said they got to know her husband, Robert M. Nolan, 40, who operated his own construction busi­ ness. Most of them said he appeared to be a “nice guy.” All expressed shock and disbelief after Robert Nolan killed his wife with a shot­ gun blast Thursday m orning and then took his own life with a pistol shot. The couple’s three children were in school at the time of the shootings. Police believe the tragedy was sparked when Robert Nolan was recently served with divorce papers, alleging that he had in recent years verbally abused his wife of nearly 10 years. It was after Thursday’s murder-suicide that many people who knew the couple said they learned that Robert Nolan had killed his first w ife and her alleged boyfriend in 1981 by stabbing them repeatedly. The first trial in that case ended in a hung jury, while a second jury in 1985 acquitted him after determining that he had been temporarily insane at the time of the killings. It was Kimberly Nolan who made the biggest impact with her involvement in com m unity projects after the fam ily moved to the borough in 1993. She organized a cleanup of a municipal park near where she lived several years ago. She was involved with the Little League and with Freehold Center Partnership projects such as the Halloween “Spooktacular.” Kim was appointed to a seat on the borough’s Planning Board after living in the borough less than five years. “Kimberly was the type of volunteer every sm all com m unity looks fo r,” George Kelder, the Borough C ouncil’s representative on the Planning Board, said. “When she got involved with some­ thing she worked very hard at it. And she was involved with various borough pro­ jects.” Kelder, who sat next to Kimberly on the board, said he was not aware of any previous problems the couple might have had and had no knowledge of her hus- band’s history. “I really only got to know her as a member of the board,” Kelder said. “She was a very nice young lady. I had met her husband at several events and he seemed normal enough. The whole thing came to me as a surprise and shock. This was a terrible tragedy.” Jayne Carr, business advocate for the partnership, recalled that Kimberly Nolan was involved with various partnership projects including the “Spooktacular.” “ K im worked very hard on the ‘Spooktacular,’ including working on the parade, the window picture contest and the costumes,” Carr said. “She was very active in a lot of things.” Although she said she was unaware of Robert Nolan’s history, Carr said Nolan appeared to be troubled while working on the Halloween project. “I was aware that she was going through some troubled times,” Carr said. “She did talk about finding a new home for herself and her children and she was looking for a job.” Veronica Davis, Kimberly N olan ’s Freehold-based attorney for the last four months, said she had advised her client to consider moving out of the Morris Street residence after divorce proceedings had been initiated. Davis is on the Board of Directors of the W o m e n ’ s Center o f M onm outh County, Hazlet, a shelter for battered women and children. On the divorce complaints, Kimberly had charged her husband with verbal abuse, going back to 1990. “I am certain that she didn’t think she was in any physical danger,” Davis said this week. “She was not the type of per­ son who would knowingly put her life or her children’s lives at risk.” Davis said verbal abuse should always be taken seriously. “I think what people may want to take away from this tragic incident is that ver­ bal abuse can be a precursor to something much more serious.” A joint wake and funeral services for the N olans were held at H iggins Memorial Home Sunday. A funeral Mass for both was held at St. Rose of Lima Church, McLean Street, Monday. Kimberly Nolan was buried in the St. Rose Cemetery in Freehold Township. Robert Nolan was buried in St. Vincent’s Cemetery in Madison. F r e e h o ld B o r o u g h dent, officials said. Police proceeded into the home but could not immediately locate Robert or Kimberly Nolan, Burlew said. Upon hear­ ing a “pop,” he added, the officers went outside and found Robert Nolan in the back yard, dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The officers returned to the house and found Kimberly Nolan dead in a walk-in closet with a gunshot wound to the head. Kaye said Kimberly Nolan was killed with a 20-gauge shotgun, while Robert Nolan killed himself with a handgun. Those two shots destroyed a family and left three boys, ages 4, 6 and 7, with­ out parents. Authorities speculated that Kimberly Nolan’s notification to her husband that she was filing for divorce after nearly a decade of marriage, and the serving of legal papers, may have sparked Robert Nolan’s outburst of violence. In a dramatic twist, as Kaye explained during a Thursday afternoon press confer­ ence, Kimberly Nolan became the second wife, and third person, killed in cold blood by Nolan. The prosecutor said that 18 years earli­ er, in September 1981, Nolan murdered his first wife, Margaret, and her alleged boyfriend, Robert Kelly, by stabbing them to death at Kelly’s home in the Sullivan County, N .Y ., com m unity o f Loch Sheldrake. Kaye said Nolan was never convicted of the crime. His first trial ended with a hung jury that voted 11-1 to convict him. In a second trial, Nolan was found not responsible by reason of mental disease or defect. Nolan later sued his late wife’s insurance com pany and collected a $10,000 death benefit, the prosecutor said. Kimberly Nolan, who was to become Robert Nolan’s second wife on March 12, 1988, in Staten Island, N .Y ., lived in Liberty, N.Y., next to Loch Sheldrake, and was Miss Sullivan County 1980, Kaye said, adding that she knew the details about her husband’s past. News o f the murder in Freehold Borough shook the community in Sullivan County on Thursday and Friday, accord­ ing to Stephen F. Lungen, the county’s district attorney. Many family members of the people involved in the 1981 killing still live in the area and saw the entire story unfolding again, almost two decades later, he said. “My initial reaction was one of shock to the news, but not total surprise,” he said. “We always felt that Mr. Nolan could do this again.” Lungen has a more intimate perspec­ tive into Robert Nolan’s history than most people because he was representing Margaret Nolan when she was attempting to divorce her husband in 1981. “Mr. Nolan was a possessive, control­ ling person,” the district attorney said. “He got off here, although it was never an issue that he committed the 1981 murders; he turned himself in to police. “I feared we would get a call like this one day,” he added. “We were talking about the Nolan case recently because we were prosecuting a double homicide and were referring to transcripts from the Nolan case.” In Lungen’ s latest prosecution of a double murder, the suspect was convicted.

The art show, scheduled for Feb. 6-8, is sponsored by the Mothers Club of Christian Brothers Academy. The school will host more than 100 professional artists and artisans, many from the area, at the annual show. For the first time, Sarah Rabinowitz, Barnegat, will display her bright and colorful works which include ani­ mal paintings, rural landscapes and her latest works of mother and child por­ traits. Rabinowitz’s mother and child paint­ ings are a result of the birth of her own daughter. Leo R Donahue, Fiskdale, Mass., will present his fine etchings and em­ bossings for the first time at the show. His works are not reproduced draw­ ings, but pieces that have been deliber­ ately created through the Intaglio pro­ cess, an artistic development dating back several centuries. From Fleetwood, Pa., Joan Miller will display her unique, hand-crafted c o m INDEPENDENT, JANUARY 21, 1998 in g B r o th e r s earrings which will add new glitter to the already exciting list of jewelry mak­ ers participating in the show. In addition, artist Steve Lee, a former environmental instructor, now living hermit-like as a wilderness wanderer at an environmental facility in upstate New York, will show his artwork. Lee combines his knowledge of na­ ture’s materials with a talent for creating artwork from the natural world. He produces detailed, hand-made ' stone pieces called “petroglyphs.” Lee also works with wood and has crafted birch bark jewelry boxes, walk­ ing canes and sculptures. A preview cocktail party will be held on Feb. 6 from 7-9 p.m. Artists will be on hand to preview their works. Tickets for the party are $10 per person. The art show will open on Feb. 7 and will run through Feb. 8. The show will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both days. General admission is $3 per person and tickets may be purchased at the door.

All s e t in a R e d u c e o f C O th e p o s s ib ilit y p o is o n i n g N ew Jersey Natural Gas Co. (NJNG) in Wall suggests the following tips to help prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. During the winter months when houses are sealed up tight to keep out the cold, the potential for carbon monoxide (CO) poi­ soning increases. CO is normally present in the air in low amounts, but it becomes dan­ gerous when it builds up to toxic levels in enclosed areas from sources that include a faulty furnace, a blocked chimney or a run­ ning car in an attached garage. CO is produced during the burning of any fuel: charcoal, gasoline, kerosene, natur­ al gas, oil, propane or wood. The most com­ mon household sources of CO are vehicle exhaust, furnaces, boilers, space heaters, water heaters, stoves, ranges, ovens, wood stoves, fireplaces, grills and gasoline-pow­ ered equipment. NJNG urges area residents to protect their families from the dangers of CO by maintaining their appliances and heating systems and by becoming aware of its sources and symptoms. “The presence of unsafe CO levels is dif­ ficult to detect because you can’t see it, smell it or taste it, but if concentrations are high enough, it could cause serious harm,” Scot Macomber, director of field services at NJNG explained. Symptoms of CO poisoning are often difficult to detect because they are similar to those associated with the common flu, including nausea, fatigue, headaches and dizziness. Families can reduce the dangers of CO poisoning by: • calling a professional to annually in­ spect home-heating equipment; • keeping vents and chimneys clean and properly drafted; • never using outside grills indoors or in any enclosed area; • not using ovens for heating homes; and • not running a car in a garage. Another recommended safety measure is to install a high-quality CO detector, which can provide an early warning to consumers before the toxic gas builds up to dangerous levels. When shopping for a detector, con­ sumers should choose a unit that meets the new requirements of the IAS 6-96 Safety Standard developed with the Consumer Product Safety Commission and endorsed by the American Gas Association. Anyone who has questions about CO poisoning or thinks he or she may be ex­ periencing symptoms should call (800) POI­ SON-1. If an emergency exists, get fresh air immediately and call 911. “Prompt medical attention is important if you are experiencing symptoms of CO poi­ soning,” Macomber said. “Take care of your health first and then make sure a qualified professional checks your fuel-burning appli­ ances before turning them back on.” NJNG offers a free program on carbon monoxide to community organizations.

The Unique Lives & Experiences series will feature Barbara Walters, Joan Rivers, Mary Tyler Moore, Anna Quindlen and Maya Angelou. The brainchild of producer Robert Benia of RCB Entertainment in Toronto, Canada, it is predominantly geared toward, but not exclusive to, women. Each lecture includes a question-and-answer session. “Women are more responsive to par­ ticipating in this type of forum where there is a two-way dialogue,” Benia said. “We’re providing them with a forum for discussion with some of the most in­ fluential women of our time,” he added. “Our speakers enjoy the experience almost as much as our audience.” Well-known television journalist Barbara Walters kicks off the event when she will talk about the stories behind the headlines on Jan. 28. Over the past few decades, she has interviewed political figures and news­ makers around the globe. In this public appearance, she will also answer questions from the audience. On Feb. 24, flamboyant comedienne Joan Rivers will be the guest speaker. Having experienced and survived person­ al tragedies in the unwavering glare of the public eye, Rivers will speak about her hus­ band’s suicide, her daughter’s depression and alienation, and her Tonight Show trials. Mary Tyler Moore, the third guest lec­ turer, will speak on March 23.

Moore, who is international chair­ woman of the Juvenile Diabetes Foun­ dation, will share the comedy and drama of her own unique life. On April 3, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist, Anna Quindlen will discuss how she brings important issues home. In her nationally syndicated New York Times column “Public & Private,” the author and wife and mother of three chil­ dren painted a realistic picture of modern America, where household dramas unfold beside the political stage. Quindlen recently resigned from the Times to pursue a successful career as a novelist. Last, but not least, an evening with Maya Angelou is planned for May 20. A poet, playwright, producer, director, actor, best-selling author and social activist, Angelou claims no single profession and has excelled at many. According to Benia, Angelou is a long­ standing friend of Unique Lives & Experiences. Although she does not take part in the series’ trademark question-andanswer period, she offers her audience an unforgetable evening, according to series’ publicity. All presentations begin at 7:30 p.m. and will be interpreted for the deaf and hearing impaired. Unique Lives & Experiences is sold by subscription only and prices start at $124.

The rate increase is the first NJAWC has requested since April 1995. “This rate request reflects $145 mil­ lion of investment statewide in new sup­ ply, treatment and pipelines since our last rate change,” NJAWC President Daniel L. Kelleher said. The increase would reflect an addi­ tional 17 cents per day, raising an aver­ age monthly residential bill from $32.84 to $38 per month, company officials said in announcing the request. Communities throughout the state would be affected by the rate increase. Operating in 117 communities state­ wide, NJAWC serves more than one million people. Area localities served by NJAWC are Matawan, Middletown and sections of Aberdeen and Holmdel. Shorelands Water Co., Hazlet, which serves other area towns, is a resale customer. The rate increase would fund NJAWC’s plans to upgrade meters and services at a cost of $24 million and spend $99 million on dam, tank, pipeline, treatment and pumping im­ provements. Approximately $6 million will also be allocated for source of sup­ ply projects. “A reliable water system is essential to economic growth and development,” Kelleher said. “By improving infrastructure we enhance the communi­ ties we serve.” Obtaining a rate increase takes near­ ly one year from the date of filing. Aftei the increase request is filed with the BPU, the case goes through a review process. 'f| The Ratepayer Advocate, a state of­ fice composed of attorneys representing residential taxpayers, the BPU and sometimes special interest groups care­ fully scrutinize the applicant’s request. The review also includes evidentiary and public hearings before an adminis­ trative law judge can make a decision on the proposed rate increase. After a process that lasts almost one year, the BPU decides whether or not to approve the application. Rates will remain unchanged pend­ ing a final decision from BPU on the application for the increase in rates. NJAWC expects a decision to come in six to nine months from the initial ap­ plication. m B.B.Q ALL THE TIME! GETTING LUNCH 7 DAYS 11:30-3:30 $8 " ! EARLY BIRD 3:30-5:30 $10"!

Brookdale Community College, Lin­ croft section of Middletown, will host the Israel Expo on June 7 as the community cel­ ebrates the 50th anniversary of Israel as an independent nation. Greater Media Newspapers, which pub­ lishes the Independent, is one of the spon­ sors of the event. Other sponsors include Temple Beth Shalom, Manalapan; the Jewish Federation of Monmouth County; the Governor’s New Jersey Israel Commission; and the Western Monmouth Chamber of Commerce. Promotional efforts have swung into high gear, Weiner said. Leading the effort to get the word out about the Israel Expo are Brookdale President Dr. Peter Burnham; Marty Siskel, the Expo’s co-chairman; Sheila Slade, editor of the Israel Expo newsletter; and Weiner and his wife, Sylvia, who works with the welcoming committee. A new addition to the core group of peo­ ple organizing the event is Stephanie Luftglass of Marlboro, who has been named Israel Expo chairwoman. “We are most excited that for the first time ever the Israel Expo will be held at Brookdale Community College,” Luft-glass said. “There are a couple of reasons why we’ve moved (out of area high schools); one, because the size of the Expo has ex­ panded, and two, because Dr. Burnham is dedicated to hosting all types of festivals for the community the college serves. This will be a fun, exciting day for the entire family with a lot of things going on.” In addition to promoting the event throughout the tristate area, Weiner said, efforts are under way to get the word out about the Expo in Israel. “Dr. Burnham is sending out invitations to the presidents of Israeli universities invit­ ing them to promote the Expo and to encourage their faculty and students to visit the Expo in person to help us discuss current events issues relating to Israel,” Weiner said. At the same time, Dr. Michael Reiner, director, New Jersey Israel Commission, and Lea Ronen, executive director, Asso­ ciation of Americans and Canadians in Is­ rael, are promoting the Expo throughout Is­ rael with the goal of encouraging Israelis to take part in the event. As the program for Israel Expo takes shape, Weiner noted that workshops will Stephanie Luftglass once again play a prominent role in the event. Among the topics to be discussed, he said, will be Diaspora/Israel Relations, led by Rabbi Ira Rothstein of Temple Beth Shalom, Manalapan; Christian/Israeli Re­ lations, directed by David Blewett, execu­ tive director, National Christian Leader­ ship Conference for Israel; Arab/Israeli Relations, led by Rabbi Richard Hammer­ man and Arnold Gelfman; overseas Israeli college programs; and tourism to Israel. Youngsters are being encouraged to play a role in the Israel Expo through the efforts of Dr. David Abbott, Marlboro’s superintendent of schools. According to Weiner, Abbott is encouraging students from all public schools in Monmouth and Ocean counties to participate in an art fes­ tival that will be featured in a main exhibit at the Expo. The theme of the poster contest is pro­ moting peace and understanding between Israeli and Palestinian children, Weiner said. Prizes will be awarded for the best posters. Meanwhile, Weiner, the driving force behind Israel Expos that were held in 1989, 1991, 1993 and 1996, is overseeing all of the planning that he hopes will make this year’s event the biggest and best yet. One of his final tasks as the Expo takes shape is securing the use of a computer that can be used to make preparations easier for the massive event. Until now, Weiner has used an old portable typewriter to prepare all Expo-related news releases, letters, etc. What he doesn’t type, he writes out long­ hand. Anyone who can donate a computer that will make the organizational tasks a little easier, Weiner said, may call Temple Beth Shalom at (732) 446-1200. ‘Celebrate King’s Day’ at Poricy Park AT THE BAR ONLY! 3:30-6:00 1 95 Pints $2 °° Bottled Beers Programs, activities begin to take shape for June 7 celebration and Steaks Mon. - Sun.

Bayshore area superinten­ dents met recently to discuss the proposal to offer parents school choice — a proposal which is backed by the governor — and concluded much more research is needed on how such a pro­ gram would work. “The state has scratched about a quarter-inch deep on a m ile-deep issue,” H azle t Sch o ols S u perin te nd en t Timothy P. Nogueira said, and we agree. The idea is a laudable one, but it is hard to imagine how it could work in this area. Parents naturally want the best education for their children, so if they indeed had a choice, they would probably all scram­ ble to get them into the district A with the best academic record. W hat kind of criteria would be used to determine who gets to go where? H ow would this crossover between districts affect school budgets and transportation costs? And what about the fact that districts spend different amounts per student based on individual district needs? There is a whole hodgepodge of questions that need answer­ ing before anyone can seriously consider the idea. Monmouth County superin­ tendents were scheduled to meet last week to discuss the matter further, then present a summary of their conclusions to the coun­ ty superintendent of schools. Maybe we’re missing some­ th in g . M aybe school choice would work. B u t too m any im p o rtan t questions remain unanswered. Letters I ’m puzzled. Larry had been an extraordinary leader. Under his watch, the H olm del E nvironm ental C om m ission gained respect far and wide for its three Greenway Studies, the Nature Trail across from Village School and several prestigious awards for environmental excel­ lence. Ironically, the Township Committee had formally com­ mended Larry and the E n v i­ ronmental Commission several times prior to cutting him loose from the commission. I do not know why Holmdel’s governing body did what it did, but I do feel that it sends the wrong kind of message to the many volunteers who devote countless hours working for the good of their communities. Is this the kind o f thanks they should expect? We all are judged by our actions. And when you judge what the Township Committee did in juxtaposition with Larry Fink’s fine track record, its action says a lot more about it than it does Larry. babies from this very cruel method of disposing of unwanted children.

The Grubers were particularly interest­ ed in a piece of the Titanic hull that Greg Andorfer displayed on the TV show. Mr. Gruber first became interested in the Titanic tragedy when Gayle was a child, and Gayle picked up the Titanic bug after reading Walter Lord’s 1959 novel A Night to Remember. She became very interested in the subject and wanted to find out more, her father said, so they joined several groups dedicated to explor­ ing the history of the ship. Mr. Gruber was delighted to be able to share his knowledge and experiences on the Geraldo show. “It was a real thrill to be asked to participate,” he said. He confessed in a telephone interview that he tried very hard to get a part as an extra in the recent movie.

At a special meeting held Jan. 9, Leo pre­ sented township officials with the four finalists. “A lthough it was my decision, the (Township) Committee has advise and consent rights,” he said. “It was important for me to have the committee meet the candidates,” he said, adding that “the meeting resulted in some additional questions, which led to more discussion with the four candidates.” But, according to Leo, Werger was offered the position because he brings more than 25 years’ experience in engi­ neering and public works administration to the job. D urin g the course o f his career, Werger was employed at Birdsall Engi­ neering Corp.., South Belmar, where his duties included performing construction inspections on all types of concrete and road construction, including sanitary and storm sewers. While working for Windsor Township as a principal engineering aide, Werger’s duties included perform ing site in ­ spections on major subdivisions and di­ recting public works projects. Prior to com ing to M iddletow n in 1990, he worked for T&M Associates, M iddletow n, as chief supervising in ­ spector, supervising and administrating 70 subdivisions and sites in Middletown, Red Bank and Long Branch, and for Carlton Homes Inc. as a planning and engineering manager. The new director has a bachelor’ s degree in business administration from Georgian Court College, Lakewood, and an associate’s degree from Ocean County College, with a concentration in civil engineering. Werger has also received certification as a public works manager from the divi­ sion of government services at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in New Brunswick, and' he has participated in various management workshops, con­ struction engineering courses and con­ struction inspection seminars at the Rutgers Center for M anagem ent D e­ velopment. The public works director position was advertised in various publications and also posted on the Internet. The qualifica­ tions include a minimum of five years’ experience in public works management. While the search went on, Walter W. Bennett, director of management infor­ mation systems for the township, was in charge of the administrative duties and B ill W right o f T & M Associates, the township’ s engineering firm, had been overseeing the public works department’s field work.

The Sharing Network gives the follow­ ing facts: • The decision to sign a donor card will in no way affect the level of medical care for a sick or injured person. • Major religions support organ donation. • The body is treated with respect during organ and tissue recovery as it is in any sur­ gical procedure. • Social and financial data are not factors in determining who receives an organ. • Funeral arrangements are not delayed by organ and/or tissue donation. • There is never a charge to the family of a donor. The Sharing Network is a federally des­ ignated, state-certified procurement or­ ganization responsible for recovering organs and tissue for New Jersey residents in need of transplants, as well as those on waiting lists nationwide. For information about organ and tissue donation or to obtain a donor card, contact The Sharing Network at (800) SHARE-NJ. iJ O H N R . F I O R I N O , J R .

Some o f the beach debris, including sections of beached boat, were deposit­ ed by a recent storm , but the rest appears to have been illegally dumped.

There’s a way to set your wedding apart from the rest. Imagine this. The wedding ceremo­ ny has just concluded and everyone is standing outside the church or temple blowing bubbles (throwing rice has become politically incorrect) and applauding as the happy couple makes their way to the transportation which will take them to the affair. No, it’s not some limousine or fancy sports car waiting, but a classic, 19th century-style horse and carriage, complete with an appropriately attired carriage driver. “It’s a romantic way to make your way to the affair,” John Vanderveer, owner of Vanderveer Carriages in Freehold with his wife, Mary Ann, said. “The bride will feel like Cinderella as she rides away from the ceremony. Your guests will surely remember that.” Vanderveer said the bride and groom will appreciate the time in the carriage because it moves pretty slow and allows them to relax and take in the day. ' “It really is a nice time and it just seems to make the day more romantic,” he added. “The carriage ride gives the couple some time to sit and talk apd enjoy each other — it’s probably the only time they will have alone. The wedding day is quite hectic.” W hen considering the horse and car­ riage transportation alternative, it’s important to remember that the mode of transportation doesn’t move too fast, so the reception hall can’t be too far away from the ceremony. Vanderveer -tffitT ' "April, ‘ May, I months for weddings, but he also has carriages available w hich can be enclosed for the chillier months. Vanderveer Carriages, which ser­ vices all of New Jersey, offers five dif­ ferent types of models to choose from w ith each having different seating capacities. They are: • Victoria model — a classic two passenger carriage with a fold-down top. • Vis-a-vis model — a classic four to six passenger carriage with a fold-down top. This carriage can be enclosed. • Rockaway model — an antique, drop-down model with beveled glass windows. This enclosed carriage can carry four passenger. • Wagonette model — a classic six to eight passenger farm wagon with bench seats. • Surrey — an informal country two passenger model with a fold-down car­ riage top. According to Vanderveer, the car­ riages are pulled by a retired, standardbred race horse nam ed Promise. Promise is decorated with beautiful gar­ land to give the animal a classic touch. Vanderveer said a ride in a carriage allows your imagination to wander back to a bygone era when horses pro­ vided the main form o f transportation and cars didn’t exist. He also said this relaxing, low-key experience will enhance not only a wedding, but any event. Vanderveer said his company has provided trans­ portation for special prom otional events, private parties, company events, parades, birthdays, anniversaries and proms. Gift certificate are also available. He also said that it’s important to book early, because they only schedule one event a day.

You know what flowers you want, the type of favors your guests will receive, and have a good idea of what you would like in the way of invitations. You’ve been dream­ ing of romantic poses and can­ did shots to capture the most memorable day of your life. The right photographer can trans­ form those magical dreams into reality. “Wedding photos are impor­ tant because they are meant to capture the perfect day as a remembrance intended to last a lifetime,” Igal Gershman, a ; •“ ST# Master of Photography who owns Igal Photographers on Route 18 in East Brunswick, says. “The flowers die, the cake disap­ pears, and the guests leave. The photographs are forever.” The right photographer is artistic. Poses should be warm and glowing, have dimension, and be flattering to the subjects. A good photographer will be capable of doing customized work, shooting creative poses, and be capable of doing basic touch-ups. You want to look picture perfect on your wedding day, as do your parents and attendants. “There’s no need to worry if the photographer you have cho­ sen isn’t a Master of Photography. Most aren’t,” Gershman advises. “Mainly, look at the photograph­ er’s work before committing. There are two types of photogra­ phers — the inexperienced ama­ teurs and the professionals. A professional will know basic poses, adding his or her own cre­ ativity to each shot to create SHEER ELEGANCE — Bride-to-be Debra H agopian poses fo r a picture on her w edding day. something unique. (Photo courtesy of Igal Photographers) “Remember, shots taken with one light will produce a flat Y .y o u r s p e c i a l d a y image. For special depth, dou­ ble lighting is needed. Two pho­ tographers are required for this effect, but done properly, the result is stunning. Still, the deci­ sion is yours and you need to talk this over with the photogra­ pher. This is where personality comes into your decision. Ask yourself if you get along with the photographer, if the chem­ istry is right.” Ninety percent of couples are most concerned with cost. Igal reminds us that pricing pho­ tographers is different from shopping around for the same model car at various dealer­ ships. The product you want w on’t come off an assembly line. Prices quoted over the phone is no way to find the right photographer. Saving $50 isn’t worth it unless you have a qualified photographer. You have to see the work, check out the quality and creativity. If you love what you see and feel com­ fortable with the photographer w ho costs a little more, forget the $50 and go with what you love. A bargain price isn’t a bar­ gain if you are unhappy with the photographs. Your pho­ tographs should be as unique as you are, and not resemble a mass produced product. Gershman reminds us that prices vary in different areas but wedding packages should gener­ ally be about the same from pho­ tographer to photographer. After studying the work, be certain you obtain a preprinted price list before committing. Most rep­ utable studios and photogra­ phers will be happy to provide one, so that clients will get no surprises when calculating costs. Another good suggestion — make certain the photographer you have chosen will be properly dressed. Nothing looks worse than a photographer showing up in extremely casual clothes for a elegant affair. A formal wedding may require a suit or tuxedo. Some tips for finding the right wedding photographer miscalculating time during that special day. In addition to the ceremony, location, and reception shoots, there is generally an hour of shooting at the bride’s house. Also, inding the right photographer to capture your before ceremony the groom and the best man will be wedding can seem like a daunting task. Often, photographed.

There lines for couples in search of a reputable photographer: 1. Find out exactly what is and isn’t included in the should be a good rapport with the shooter. You need to package you have chosen.

Standard packages will consist of a proof album, a bridal album and parents’ albums (one album for each set of parents). Albums chosen should always have acid-free inserts to maintain color and to prevent the pages from turning yellow in the future. 6. Beware of bargain photographers. Expect to pay somewhere in the $1,500 - $2,000 price range. Often, an advertisement will claim to offer packages in the $599 $699 price range. These are usually loaded with hidden costs such as extras and overtime, and inferior products may be used in making the photographs and albums. 7. Book the wedding photographer or studio at least 6 to 9 months before the wedding day. Often, certain dates and seasons are popular and because most couples book well in advance, the photographer you want may already have a commitment to shoot another wedding. ------------------------------- -------- - Cover photo courtesy of Priscilla of Boston.

Whether the shape is round brilliant, oval, marquise, pear, heart or emerald cut, a diamond's cutting grade is determined byits deviation from an ideal cut, the standard. m n a t e o n o t d 2 . C o l o r Absence of anycolor in the bodyof a diamond is considered the rarest color quality. Bodycolor is interior color, not the surface rainbowor reflected light.

Middletown, Atlantic Highlands, Fair Haven, Marlboro, Red Bank and Shrewsbury realized a combined savings of $397,856 by pooling their BANs and other capital needs to fund new projects into a single M CIA Pooled BANs Program bond issue, accord­ ing to county officials. The savings were the result of the au­ thority’s unique flexibility to negotiate the debt structure and price of the bonds, which helped the MCIA achieve an attractive 4.89 percent true interest cost over 20 years, MCIA Chairman John Kay noted. The M C IA obtained municipal bond insurance from Ambac Insurance Corp., which allowed each of the participants to benefit from the highest AAA credit rating. The pooled financing allowed the authority to solicit premiums from the insurers, result­ ing in the lower cost of insurance. The higher credit rating reduced the interest costs by $238,693 over the cost of the bond issue. The M CIA’s professional team was able to negotiate and adjust the terms of the bonds during pricing on Dec. 2 to achieve the low­ est possible cost of obtaining the funds. Those adjustments resulted in an additional savings of $6,047. Also, the MCIA was able to issue bonds at a premium. The premium was used either to reduce the bond size for the individual municipalities or was distrib­ uted to the municipalities as additional pro­ ceeds to be applied to their projects. The municipalities that elected to downsize their bond issues saved a combined total of $153,116 in interest costs over the life of the bond issue, while the other municipalities utilized available proceeds to reduce future borrowing costs. “These options would not have been available to these municipalities if they had sold their bonds on their own in a traditional, competitive bond sale,” Kay said. “In addi­ tion, the towns saved money by pooling their needs to convert BANs into a single MCIA bond issue and sharing the issuance costs. By pooling their needs, we were able to create a single bond issuance of a size that is more attractive to the market.” In addition to converting BANs, Atlantic Highlands and Marlboro will use proceeds from the bond sale to fund new ordinances, saving the cost of a second bond sale. Fair Haven converted outstanding BANs with money from the bond sale, while Middletown, Red Bank and Shrewsbury sold bonds for unfunded ordinances. The MCIA structures the bonds to meet the budgetary needs of ea'oh participant, so the maturity dates range from 2003 to 2017. Municipalities issue BANs to provide financing for capital projects, usually bor­ rowing the money for one year. Generally, they convert their BANs to permanent financing when their debt grows large enough to make a long-term bond sale practi­ cal. However, once a municipality publishes the date of its bond sale, the date and the debt structure are locked in. If market conditions are unfavorable when the sale date arrives, the alternative to accepting higher rates is to sell the BANs for another year. Improvement authorities, however, have greater flexibility than municipalities in tim­ ing the sale of the bonds and negotiating the price.

(Augusto F. M enezes/ Greater Media) Monm outh County is looking at ways to solve Canada goose invasion BY MELANIE SCHROEDER S ta ff W r ite r t turns out there are a variety of ways to deter resident Canada geese, whose waste is generating a potential health hazard. Wherever there is water and grass, there seem to be Canada geese these days, according to Monmouth County officials, as the growing population in­ vades golf courses, corporate lawns, private property and local lakes and parks alike. And one of the biggest problems is well-intentioned residents who like to feed the growing flocks. At a daylong “Canada Goose Man­ agement Symposium” sponsored Jan. 14 at Brookdale Community College in Lincroft by the Monmouth County Water Resources Association, experts from a variety of state wildlife agen­ cies discussed the problem and possi­ ble solutions. Participants, including groundskeepers, homeowners, park police and others, also had a chance to exchange stories of success and failure. “Hopefully we may arrive at a solu­ tion in the interest of everyone,” Mon­ mouth County Freeholder Ted Narozanick said, welcoming the crowd of approximately 200 people. There has been controversy surrounding the treatment of the geese, Narozanick said, including conflicts between ani­ I mal rights activists and those who want shellfish, forcing restrictions on to get rid of the geese. harvesting. Monmouth County Health Officer Jargowsky said the geese not only Lester Jargowsky, who spoke on the affect aquatic food sources but also can impact of goose waste on water quali­ wreak havoc on inland farms, causing ty, said goose waste is a major source soil erosion and crop damage by feed­ of fecal coliform and E. coli bacteria in ing off winter wheat and other grains. area lakes, and Paul M.

The population of resident geese has been steadily increasing in recent years, while the number of migrant geese has dropped significantly, giving the latter group special protection under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and by state law. Castelli said this difference in the two populations has made it increas­ ingly difficult to schedule hunting sea­ sons for the resident geese as a means of population control. One audience member, Tracy Duerksin, a Neptune City veterinarian, said that while hunting can be an effec­ tive measure in controlling popula­ tions, it should not be celebrated. “I don’t think we should necessarily cheer it,” he said. Castelli also noted that resident geese have the highest survival rate in rural and urban habitats, as opposed to their natural habitats. Castelli also said that these geese are particularly attracted to the short grassy lawns found in residential areas and at golf courses and office com­ plexes. These areas are like “diner signs” to the geese since they provide most of the fowl’s food requirements. Solutions to the problem In a segment about how communi­ ties can help manage goose popula­ tions, Rumson homeowner Anne Continued on next page ______________________________________________________ INDEPENDENT, JANUARY 21, 1998 4 7 ______ ____________________________ _____________________ Here come the ‘geese police’ Firm trains border collies to scare away pesky Canada geese BY MELANIE SCHROEDER Staff W rite r ave Marcks adopted his first border collie nine years ago when he was working at a golf course. Although he originally got the dog as a pet, he soon found out that border collies want to do more than just relax and enjoy life around the house. Border collies, also known for their sheep herding ability, have a natural instinct to “chase,” and they make it their duty to round up just about any other animal in their vicinity. As Marcks’ collie became more and more rambunctious, he began sneaking onto the golf course leading Marcks to notice that his dog was very effective at something besides making mischief: Chasing the geese away. Since that time, Marcks has* made a very successful business of “chasing the geese away” through his Howell company, appropriately called Geese Police Inc. With the help of 17 highly trained border collies, Marcks now helps rid golf courses, country clubs, private estates and beaches of pesky Canada geese. According to Marcks, border collies have a “constant desire to work.” He explained that since these dogs have boundless energy, it is best to give them something to do. “Otherwise D they will find something to do,” he added, noting the dogs’ abili­ ty to get into “mischief’ if left to amuse themselves. Border collies, if properly trained, do not harm the geese. It is especially important that they do not touch the geese since there is often injured birds among the flock. Their training is quite extensive and costs thou­ sands of dollars, Marcks said. Unlike other breeds, such as Labrador retrievers, border col­ lies maintain their “chase behavior” even though they do not receive the gratification of catching their prey. The dogs enjoy the “stalk,” even if there is no catch, Marcks said. The dogs use a wolf-like glance which Marcks refers to as “the eye” to mesmerize their prey into flight. The geese are so intimidated by “the eye” that they consider the dogs as preda­ tors, Marcks said. The Geese Police dogs and their handlers visit their clients’ property several times a day at staggered times, leading the geese to believe they have mul­ tiple predators, Marcks explained. Eventually, the geese will deem the property an unsafe haven and will soon search for a new area that they believe is safer. Although the Geese Police is based in Howell, the company does not limit its ser­ vice area to Monmouth County. It also works in New York state and the Philadelphia area. Geese waste more than a nuisance Continued from previous page Ciesla explained how she got her town to establish a “no feeding ordinance.” After her neighbor started feeding geese, attracting them to Ciesla’s lawn, Ciesla tried many techniques to keep the geese off her lawn, some successful and some not. The problem was especially serious because she could not let her children play outdoors freely because of the threat of contamination from goose feces, she said. Holmdel Park Superintendent Drew D’Appolito said he has had some success managing the park’s goose population by establishing a “Geese Friendly Zone” on one side of a lake where visitors are per­ mitted to feed the geese grains. The other side of the lake is surrounded by 1-foothigh fencing, which has reduced the numbers of geese congregating at the site on a regular basis. Jeff Bottger, supervising landscape architect of T&M Associates, Middletown, said such fences combined with plantings can be an effective deter­ rent. Natural barriers around a lake, such as beds of wildflowers or tall grass, can also be effective, Bottger said. Because of the “habitat modifications,” the geese can’t see the water through the plantings and won’t try to get through them. Bottger described this process as “making the shoreline completely unfriendly to geese,” and it was very successful at Franklin Lake Park in Long Branch. Janet Bucknall, state director, U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services, who said Canada . geese are her agency’s No. 1 problem, recommended “an integrated program that includes all effective legal techniques.” One of the most expensive techniques is spraying a chemical called ReJexiT on vegetation to make it taste bad to the animals. It does not harm the animals and costs approximately $200 to treat an acre. She also said pyrotechnics or loud noises will scare away the geese. Treating nest eggs to prevent reproduction is another viable way to control populations but requires state and federal permits, according to Bucknall. In an interview during a break in the symposium, Joanne Walthers, a grounds and maintenance official for Lucent Technologies Inc., Holmdel, said that dur­ ing her 10 years in that position, the geese at the company’s Crawfords Comer Road have been a con­ stant problem and she has tried a number of solu­ tions. She tried fake and live swans, which geese are supposed to be afraid of, but the geese ended up swimming next to their presumed enemies. Walthers achieved her biggest success using Geese Police Inc., a Howell-based company that uses border collies to chase the geese away. The dogs have reduced the number of permanent resident geese at the site to about 40 or 50, a handful compared to the previous thousands that used to gather at the cor­ porate office site. The higher number of geese used to interfere with traffic, causing accidents, and also posed a danger at the company’s heliport. 4 8 ?

There is no good reason why the taxes in Middletown should be higher than in Holmdel or in Raritan (Hazlet) or in A tla n tic (Colts N eck) or in Shrewsbury. The recent investigation was ordered after the taxpayers of the town­ ship had become tired of paying such high taxes. The investigation disclosed that almost every branch of the public busi­ ness of the township was conducted in violation of the law; that township offi­ cials were using the public money and the school money in their private enterprises; and that the township was continually borrowing money to pay its bills. The Freehold Inquirer is the Repub­ lican organ of Monmouth county. Most of the officials of Middletown township are Republicans, or nominally Republicans. Officials who refuse to obey the law should be shorn of office. This should be done regardless as to whether the offender is a Republican or a Democrat. M rs .

Let our certified, knowledgeable and helpful team of fitness professionals show you how to turn your resolution into a promise. We’re here to see that you reach your goals! Constantly new jobs are being creat­ ed in connection with the public school and constantly new fads and fancies are being introduced into the public school system. Here is something different. Last week the state board of education killed a proposal to create a new department of physical education with three new posi­ tions carrying salaries of $6,000, $5,000 and $2,5000 per year for the holders of the jobs. The fo llo w in g le tte r has been received from Fred J. Smock, formerly of Red Bank, now vice president and manag­ er o f the A nchor Cap & Closure Corporation of Toronto, Canada. “Enclosed find check for renewal of my subscription, also in addition will you kindly list the enclosed name as an added subscriber. This new customer is from Monmouth county and has been calling upon me for the good news.” A list o f maintenance costs received yesterday by the board of freeholders for ter state institutions disclosed that the costs all are considerably above 1947 lev­ els. A typical example is Marlboro State hospital where rates have risen from $6.30 to $7.42 a week for each patient. The increase at state institutions ac­ counted for a large share of the $300,000 increase in the county’s 1948 budget, and it was learned yesterday that the county’s new tax rate probably will be close to $1 more than the 1947 rate o f $13.31 for each $1,000 of assessed valuation. A round-table discussion on future plans for the Middletown township school system among members of the board of education and representatives of several civic groups was held Tuesday night at Leonardo grade school. Need for new school facilities was expressed by Dr. Wylie G. Pate, super­ vising principal of township schools, who stated that new families and an increased birth rate caused an unusually crowded condition. He said that if seventh- and eighth-grade pupils at Fair View, Port M onm outh, East Keansburg and River Plaza schools were sent to the grade school at Leonardo, those areas would be able to handle pupils from the first to sixth grades.

INDEPENDENT, JANUARY 21, 1998 5 1 R e b uild ing Colts s till contending BY N EIL S C H U M A N Staff W rite r M IDDLETOW N — It’s unusual to see the Christian Brothers Academy ice hock­ ey team with a sub-.500 record at this point of the season. After all, the Colts won the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association title three of the past four seasons. But make no mistake about it, even though CBA is in a rebuilding phase, its program is still one of New Jersey’s finest. Despite a 6-8 record, the Colts are cur­ rently ranked fifth in the state. They al­ ready have a pair of big wins to their cred­ it with a 2-0 upset of Brick and a 4-2 win against Princeton Day School. The Green Dragons are defending state champions and have a strong rivalry with CBA. The win against Princeton Day was the after­ noon of the grand opening of a new rink in Princeton. Playing in one of the state’s toughest leagues, the National A Division of the New Jersey Interscholastic Ice Hockey League, means having to play Seton Hall Prep twice. The Pirates are prohibitive fa­ vorites to win the NJSIAA title this season. “We’re starting to rebuild with some good freshmen,” said Colts coach Mike Reynolds. “We’re small and we don’t have a lot of scoring punch, but we have a lot of team speed. In order to win, we have to play a defensive style and hold our oppo­ nents to two goals.” Fred Brown is the team’s top returning player. The junior, who was a part of CBA’s last state championship team as a freshman, is considered to be one of the top defensemen in New Jersey. Reynolds is pleased by development of sophomore goaltender Mike Bruce, who is doing an admirable job in his first varsity season. Forward Danny Howard has returned to the lineup after missing five games with a thigh injury he suffered when legchecked in a game against Bayonne. Junior winger Keith Mazza is back after missing a year and a half with lyme disease. Senior Joe Lentine, a hardworking vet­ eran of the CBA program, is back at for­ ward. Junior Matt Clemente leads the Colts in scoring. Sophomore center Brian Bauman has been a valuable addition and junior swingman Ryan Clune has contributed as both a defenseman and a forward. Three of the Colt losses have come at the hands of prep schools. When CBA made its annual visit to powerful Framingham, Mass., it returned with 2-1 and 6-0 defeats. The Colts also fell to the Hill School. The cutoff date for the N JSIAA Tournament is Feb. 15, but with the addi­ tion of three at-large bids to this season’s field, the Colts shouldn’t have much worry about getting in. On Monday, CBA hosted St. Joseph’s, Metuchen, at the American Ice Hockey Center in Wall Township. “We beat them 4-2 when we played them at their place, so we need to beat them again at home,” Reynolds said. David DePalma, the brother of former CBA standout defenseman Dustin DePalma, was scheduled for his first var­ sity start in that game. On Saturday, CBA travels to play St. Joseph of Montvale. The Colts were on the short end of a 5-4 decision in a home game against St. Joseph earlier this season. Next week’s games include a meeting with Bergen Catholic.

Seniors Rich Ashkar and Blair Tugman are the Eagles’ top guns and both are 11-0. Ashkar, who wrestled at 152 pounds a year ago when he won 20 matches, has easily made the adjustment to 160. Tugman, 25-2 a year ago when he com­ peted at 119 pounds, picked up where he left off, but at 335 pounds this time around. Tugman is a three time NJSIAA District 22 champion. Middletown South also is getting strong performances from Brad Smigler (5-3 at 140 pounds); Vito DeStafano (4-1, at 145) and heavyweight Tim Kyak (4-3). “We’re definitely improving as a team, but we’re young and inexperienced,” Oster, who took over from Toni Erbig, said. “When I look at our losses I can say ‘shoulda, coulda, woulda’ because we were doing well and we were right there. You just can’t go through the season say­ ing that, and I think we’ll have some wins before it’s over.” Among the many young grapplers breaking into the Eagles lineup are fresh­ men Brian Hennessy (112) and Brian Eckoff (189) and sophomores James Zoubek (103), Bill Doyle (119), Travis Bennett (130) and Tom Ensley (189). In addition, senior Jeff Weber, who spent two promising seasons as a junior varsity competitor before shattering an el­ bow and missing all of last season, is doing well in his comeback. Juniors Justin Potignano (125) and Jeff Dumm (171) round out the lineup. The Eagles have missed senior Ken Hopfensperger, a 125-pounder who has been out of the lineup with a badly sprained ankle. Hopfensperger is expected to be back this week. “Our goal is to get better with each match, especially the younger wrestlers,” Oster said. “We certainly have some great wrestlers, it’s just that we’re young over­ all.” Oster, who served as an assistant under Erbig, inherits what has been a tradition­ ally successful program. During his 13 years at the helm, Erbig’s teams won four district titles and a pair of Shore Conference Class A North crowns. “I picked up field hockey and I hadn’t been around the house much in the winter, so I kind of thought it was time to go,” said Erbig, who also coaches the girls softball contingent. “Paul has been a big part of our success and the program is in very capable hands.” SPORT SHORTS W e a re c a r r ie r s a re p ro u d d o p le a s e d o f th e jo b a n d h o p e w ith o u r th a t y o u t h e ir s e r v ic e .
