In her letter, Sullivan states she witnessed the board announce an illegal transfer of funds in the amount of $1 mil­ lio na, board President John filed Johnson’s acknowledgment of a violation of the Open Pubic Meetings Act, and a repeat vio­ lation of the board attorney’s contract, in that attorney bills are delinquent. “Mr. Whittemore stated that of the $4.9 m illio n interest earned on the ... referendum account, $1 m illion had been transferred into the general fund for the year ending June 30, Continued on page 21 S p e c ia l R e p o rt;: T h e L o t t e r y A Halloween rendition of American Gothic greeted passers-by on Main Street in downtown Matawan Monday.

When his primary care physician recommended that Ron see a Bayshore cardiologist, he didn't hesitate. After a cardiac catheterization at Bayshore's state-of-the-art cath lab, the diagnosis indicated that coronary artery bypass surgery was needed. Thanks to an affiliation with the cardiac experts at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, Ron's caregivers at Bayshore arranged for him to have his surgery there. But he was still surrounded by friends, including his Bayshore cardiologist, who visited him and continued to oversee his care when he returned to Bayshore for rehabilitation. Since leaving the hospital in February — after just four days — Ron feels better than ever. In fact, this summer Jeanne had him paint the house, which was fine with Ron: "Bayshore and Robert Wood made a great team. My family and I couldn't have had more support, every step of the way. They saw us through a tough time with the best of care and the best of friendship." For more information or a referral to a Bayshore cardiologist, call (732) 739-5918.

HAZLET — The Board of Education Policy Committee has started reviewing recommendations for revisions to the dis­ trict’s terroristic threat policy. At the board’ s agenda meeting M onday, Superintendent of Schools Timothy Nogueira said that draft recom­ mendations from the district’s Child Study Team have been distributed to members of the board for consideration. In June the board implemented a “zero tolerance” policy for threats in the wake of incidents of school violence across the country. Parents packed the Oct. 5 board meet­ ing, however, to protest the policy which resulted in the suspension of five students, including a third-grader. At that time the board revised its poli­ cy to include an initial evaluation by the school psychologist. Currently if a student threatens another student, or a staff member, the teacher notifies- the principal, who, in turn, con­ tacts the school psychologist. The student’s parents are notified and the psychologist evaluates the student to see if the student poses a threat to him- or herself or others. If it is believed that the student does pose a threat, the policy enacted in June and distributed to all parents by mail goes into effect. The student is suspended until school officials receive a report from a psychia­ trist indicating that the student does not pose a threat. If the parents do not agree with the evaluation of the school-appointed psychi­ atrist, they can have a second evaluation conducted. Nogueira said that a team, made up of a psychologist, social worker and the director of special services, has been meeting to develop guidelines for address­ ing threats made by students. Input was also received from profes­ sionals at the Carrier Foundation, a private nonprofit psychiatric hospital in Belle Meade, w ith outpatient facilitie s in Monmouth County. The draft policy recommends that threats be responded to in “levels of inter­ vention” based upon the seriousness of the threat, the student’s capacity to under­ stand the threat and previous background of the student. Prior to discussion at a public meeting, the policy recommendations w ill be reviewed with the board attorney and local law enforcement officials. Nogueira said that the policy recom­ mendations will be discussed by the board sometime in December. “Before a policy goes into effect, it must have two public readings,” he noted, adding, “That leaves ample time for input from parents.” Nogueira said that while some parents have expressed concern with the district having a “terroristic threat” policy, there have always been policies in effect to address inappropriate behavior in the schools. “It is our responsibility to ensure the safety of all of our students,” he said. “We take that responsibility very seriously.” (4-year term) ,/Kevin Graham (D)* 1.191 Frank “Dick” Currier (R) 1,025 B orou gh C ou n cil ■:;: •' ;; (Two 3-year term s): ; : :;:: Mark Amodia (R) 1,035 John J.

Work on the four-lane bridge began in July and w ill require closing the span down to two lanes next July. As a result of the future lane closures, the Middletown Township Committee has proposed allowing commercial traffic on the Garden State Parkway between exits 105 and 117, where it is currently banned. The Middletown proposal is intended to alleviate commercial traffic back-up on Route 35, resulting from the bridge’s lane closures next July. But Keyport officials don’t like the idea. “We are concerned about an increased amount of commercial traffic coming off of the Garden State Parkway onto the northbound side of Route 35,” Mayor Kevin Graham said Monday. Traffic leaving the parkway at exit 117 merges into the right-hand lane of Route 35 south. To travel north on Route 35, vehicles must quickly cross into the left-hand lane on Route 35 south and take a short U-turn to Route 35 north. Graham and Keyport Borough Council members consider the U-tum to Route 35 north dangerous for heavy commercial traffic use. “We are worried about trucks backed up in the left-hand lane on Route 35 south because the U-tum can only handle about four trucks,” Graham added. Last year, the state Department of Transportation closed a similar U-tum in the borough from Route 35 north to Route 35 south. “That turnaround was closed because backed-up traffic in the left lane of Route 35 north caused a lot of accidents. We are concerned that the same thing will happen on the other side if the commercial traffic is increased coming off of exit 117,” Graham said. The council has not taken any action to prevent commercial traffic on the Garden State Parkway. “We are waiting to find out whether they are either intending, or seriously con­ sidering making the change on the park­ way. If the (N J.) Highway Authority does make plans to open the parkway up, we will send a resolution in opposition of it and contact our local elected officials. We are concerned about the safety of the area,” Graham said. Jay G .

Construction on the building was origi­ nally slated to begin in January and be com­ pleted by September 2000. The district still has not received state approval for Bayshore’s building construc­ tion and renovation plans. The site plans for Bayshore School include closing Leonard Avenue (also known as Hazard Drive) from Leonardville Road to just south of the Leonardo Elementary School, moving utilities, moving the school’s parking lot, and creating a bus loop for stu­ dent pick up and drop off. “This project is currently out to bid and all bids are due by Nov. 10. After bid review, the board will award the job and within a week’s time, we should see mobilization at the site,” Grabowski stated. The site work is expected to be completed by early March if the weather cooperates, Grabowski added. “After awarding the contract, it is only a matter of the contractor ordering materials to begin. I expect work to be started in November,” Grabowski said. Although the district is still awaiting state approval for the building’s construction and renovation, work on the building is expected to start early next year. “We are targeting the building work to begin next spring,” Grabowski added. The district hopes for state approval of Bayshore’s building plans by January, he added. Delays have plagued the project, passed by voters in December 1996. The Board of Education submitted its site, construction and renovation plans for Bayshore to the state departments of Education and Community Affairs for approval on March 9 and received recom­ mendations on July 10. The majority of the plan revisions dealt primarily with technical issues, according to Grabowski. The district resubmitted its revised Bayshore plans to the two state departments on Aug. 4, and recently received approval. The delays prompted the board to put the other referendum projects on hold. In addition to Bayshore, district buildings scheduled for referendum work include high schools North and South and Thompson and Thorne middle schools. The Bayshore Middle School expansion will cost an estimated $20 million and will include the most extensive work of all the referendum projects. The school’s first floor will consist of three academic houses for grades 6-8, with 10 general classrooms, a faculty room, six science laboratories, the kitchen and cafete­ ria, the technical and arts education rooms and the gymnasium. According to the plans, the existing kitchen, gymnasium and cafeteria will be upgraded and improved. The second floor w ill also include three academic houses which will surround the library/media center. — Mary Dempsey When your child's medical bills seem endless. We can help.

AUMACK_____ _____ Staff W riter HOLMDEL — Results of the Cost of Community Services Study conducted in five local communities by American Farmland Trust (AFT) staff indicate that commercial/industrial development provides a greater amount of revenue to Holmdel than does residential development or proper­ ty maintained as farm/open land. The study, which was released by the Township Committee Oct. 19, was commis­ sioned by the Monmouth Conservation Foundation to assess the fiscal impacts of different land uses at a particular point in time. Along with Holmdel, studies were con­ ducted in Middletown, Freehold, Upper Freehold and Wall. According to Sharon Burnham, execu­ tive director of the foundation, the five towns were chosen to represent the diverse range of communities that exist within the county. “These townships differ in economic and demographic conditions, land use structure and current stage of growth,” she said. “AFT conducted a separate case study for each township.” Burnham said there are five basic steps Rosemary Wilkinson, social studies teacher at Raritan High School and world traveler. Wilkinson studied at the Holocaust Museum in Israel last summer and is currently developing a course on genocide. “Encourage your children to read their community newspaper every week.” (^ I Greater Media Newspapers bringsyouthe* world,!

According to the report, in 1997, residen­ tial development in Holmdel generated $26.5 million in revenue to cover appropria­ tions of more than $36.5 million. A comparison of revenues-to-appropriations by land use indicates that residential developments caused a net loss of $10 mil­ lion to the township, which was covered by approximately $9.5 million in revenue from commercial and industrial development and $506,839 from farmland and open space. The report states that for every $1 of rev­ enue generated by residential development, $1.38 was required in public services for residents. For every $1 of revenue that was gener­ ated by farmland and open space, only 66 cents was required for services, and for every $1 of revenue generated by commer­ cial and industrial development in Holmdel, only 21 cents was required for associated services. The report states that while commercial/industrial had the lowest cost of services ratio, studies performed in New York, Vermont, Connecticut and Maine all lbs., and she looks fantastic!"

It goes on to say that although this type of development had a low net cost in 1997, it may increase property taxes over time. According to the AFT, farm and open land have important positive impacts on the economy, direct and indirect, that are not measured in a COCS study. Agriculture is an industry that provides direct benefits to the community through the production of food and the provision of jobs. In 1992, farms in Monmouth County generated a cash return of $7.7 million. According to the report, open space also has indirect benefits such as increasing property values, increasing revenues from tourism and savings on costs for flood con­ trol and water supply. The report cautions communities from rushing to increase ratables and gross tax revenues without looking at tax rates and net fiscal impacts. “No one land use is a panacea,” it con­ cludes. “This study supports the protection of farmland and open space as part of a strategic distribution of land uses. It does not argue for preventing development, but for carefully analyzing the timing, phasing and placement of new development in order to control future growth.” The AFT is a private, nonprofit conser­ vation group dedicated to protecting agricul­ tural resources in the United States.

A UM ACK S taff Writer HAZLET — In just one year of oper­ ation, the Amanda’s Easel art therapy pro­ gram has served more than 80 children and 30 parents and has been recognized by U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno as a model pro­ gram for victims of family violence. The program, which is administered by a staff of art therapists from the Hazlet-based Women’s Center of Monmouth County, is currently offered at two locations, Howell and Keyport, to service residents from throughout the county. The catalyst for the art therapy program was the Friends of Amanda Foundation, which was formed to develop community awareness and programs after the 1994 mur­ der of 6-year-old Manalapan resident Amanda Wengert. Karen Wengert, Amanda’s mother and a volunteer with the program, said she worked to establish the program because she felt that children who had suffered abuse needed an outlet for the feelings. “My daughter couldn’t be helped,” she said. “This program brings hope to the many children whose lives have been disrupted but can still recover. SUCCESS STORY — Cindy Westendorf, art therapy coordinator for the Women’s Center of M onm outh County, Hazlet, sp e aks a b o u t the su c c e s s of the Am anda’s Easel art therapy program.

Continued from previous page wonderful tribute to the memory of Amanda Wengert.” In April, Wengert won the 1998 National Crime Victim Service Award for her work with Amanda’s Easel and her advocacy on behalf of crime victims. At the awards ceremony in Washington, D.C., Wengert presented Attorney General Janet Reno with a framed print of the Amanda’s Easel logo. The logo was designed using a self por­ trait drawn by Amanda prior to her death, titled “Me.” “The drawing is of a child very en­ thusiastic, excited and full of promise,” Wengert said. “That’s how I want to see all the children who come through our program, touched by love and helped through the heal­ ing work of our art therapists.” State Sen. John O. Bennett (R 12th), who first approached the Wengert family with the idea for the program, said he is very pleased with its success. “When I attended the first art show hosted by the Friends of Amanda Foundation in 1995, I was moved by the power of chil­ dren’s art,” he said. ‘This artwork struck me as a beacon of hope and a powerful messen­ ger for those who doubted the wonder and applicability of art therapy. Anna M. Diaz-White, executive director of the Women’s Center, which runs a shelter O p e n for battered women and provides crisis inter­ vention and other services for victims of rape and other forms of abuse, said that the Amanda’s Easel art therapy program is one important way that a child can begin to see that there is a different and better way to relate to others. “Children suffer terribly when they wit­ ness abuse in their homes,” she said. “They often try to intervene or even blame them­ selves for the abuse. They learn that cruelty and violence are ways to resolve conflicts or control loved ones.” Diaz-White said that in a home where domestic violence is the norm, children’s role models for family and other relationships are dysfunctional and negative. “It is well documented,” she said. “Children often repeat the behaviors they learn at home. “Amanda’s Easel is a way for children to positively express feelings, which are often buried or are expressed through negative behaviors,” she said. “By gently helping them to identify and express their feelings, children can begin to heal from the pain and wounds of family violence.” A special kids art fund-raiser to benefit Amanda’s Easel will be held on Nov. 10 at 8 p.m. at the Art Connection, 629 Palmer Ave., Hazlet. Information regarding the benefit or Amanda’s Easel can be obtained by contact­ ing the Women’s Center at 264-4111. & B O O T S Thousands Of 1998 Skis & Boots Reduced To 50% Off Plus Check Out New 1999 Models In Stock Now!

The township originally applied for a $3.1 million grant from the state’s Clean Lakes Restoration Fund, but the state Continued on next page S A V E R a i l i n g s A l u m i n u m W i n d o w T r e a t m e n t s w i n d o w S h a d e s Y O U R H O U S E A w n i n g s B E C O M E S A H OM E. INDEPENDENT, NOVEMBER 4, 1998 1 5 Continued from previous page Department of Environmental Protection chose not to fund the application, Township Administrator Joseph Leo said. The purpose of the grant was for sedi­ mentation removal in the upper one-third of the lake, siltation and erosion control, environmental management, stream bank stabilization and annual herbicide applica­ tions. The township formally applied for the funding in February. Since the DEP chose not to fund the application, the township was then in a position to receive the $102,000 state grant secured by Sen. Joseph Kyrillos and Assemblyman Joseph Azzolina (both R-13), Leo added. As a result of discussions between the township engineer’s office and the DEP, it has been determined that possible uses for the grant received in July could include the re-establishment of herbicide and algicide treatments for the lake. “Because the $3.1 m illion was not granted, we now have to re-evaluate and do the work incrementally. If we put the money toward chemical treatment, it would be a small step toward solving a large problem,” Middletown Mayor Rick Brodsky said. Estimates for the cost of the work that w ill be done in the spring are currently being developed, Brodsky added. “The $102,000 can still be used effec­ tively,” said Township Engineer W illiam Farrell of T&M Associates, Middletown He suggested that the money be uti­ lized to bring the lake under control by excavating a large sediment basin and working with the county to have the lake lowered for a tim e to remove some growth and sediment. Farrell said the bottom of the lake is in good condition, but the shallow areas are not. W ith a mean depth of 4.2 feet, the lake is generally deep enough so that oxy­ gen is not a problem, he said. The center of the lake is 79 feet deep, but the shallow areas are only 1 to 2 feet deep, he explained, and weed grass grows there as w ell as algae in the warmer weather. The money could be used to minimize continued sedimentation or it could be used as seed money for mechanical har­ vesting of weed grass, Farrell said. According to Brodsky, the Stevenson Tract Task Force, made up of private home Owners and residents of Shadow Lake Village, a retirement community bordering the lake, will be asked for feed­ back in deciding what to do with the money. The improvement plan is based on the results of a $75,000 study of the lake completed in January 1997. The study was paid for with a $52,000 state Department o f Environm ental Protection grant awarded to the township in 1995 and a $22,5000 appropriation authorized by the Township Committee. The phase-one study was required before the state would consider providing any further construction funding to reme­ dy problems at the lake, Farrell said. “Shadow Lake is recognized as one of the best aquatic resources of Middletown Township,” Brodsky said. The lake was created in 1928 by damming Nut Swamp Brook on Hubbard Avenue. In 1980, George Stevenson deed­ ed 25 percent of the land to Middletown and the rest to the New Jersey Conservation Foundation. The conserva­ tion foundation then deeded the property to the township.

Besides fish, the park supports wildlife such as ducks, geese, white swans, deer, red fox and blue heron. “It has one of the most beautiful vistas in the town,” said Parks and Recreation Director Gregg Silva. Supported by a $200,000 Green Acres grant, Stevenson Park was improved in 1995-1996 based on recommendations of the Stevenson Park Task Force. The task force has met periodically to review progress on the park’s develop­ ment and will be reconvened to deal with the grant-supported water quality improvements. ' Stevenson Park was acquired by Middletown Township with the help of a Green Acres grant in 1980 from a resident who wanted to see the land preserved for future generations to appreciate and enjoy. Since then, several improvements have been made including renovations to the wooden bridge leading into the park, located off West Front Street. The park, which is an increasingly popular spot for anglers, has a 100-foot fishing pier, a boat launch for rowboats and canoes and a picnic area. There are 15 species of fish in the lake including largemouth bass, black crappie, yellow and white perch, channel catfish, and redbreast and bluebill sunfish.

Anyone wishing to freshwater fish must purchase a state fishing license, available at area bait and tackle stores. “Stevenson Park has developed into a great place for passive and active recre­ ation,” Silva noted. “Whether you want to fish for your lunch or bring it with you to eat at one of the lakeside picnic tables, Stevenson Park is the place to bring the whole family.” The historic Grover House is also located at Stevenson Park, by the West Front Street entrance. It was moved 1,000 feet in August 1996, from its former site in the Lincroft Meadows Development. The Township Committee is considering using the house for a visitor’s center once renovations have been completed. Renovations will be based on a preser­ vation plan that was paid for w ith a $15,000 matching grant from the state Office of Historic Preservation in August 1997. A contract was awarded to Westfield Architects, Haddon Heights, last March to conduct the study. “We w ill continue to seek funds to restore Shadow Lake and the Grover House,” Brodsky said. “With the contin­ ued support of the community, I ’m confi­ dent we’ll find a way to meet our goal.” BANKRUPTCY CHAPTER 7 ■*700 CHAPTER 13 ■*900 plus filingfee KeepYourHomeand YourAssetsInManyCases! for further informationcall O uterwear 732-747-0100 s Douglas E.

Monmouth school repairs on schedule B Y M A R Y D EM P S E Y S ta ff W riter M ID D L E T O W N — R enovation o f Port Monmouth Elementary School is pro­ ceeding on schedule. “T hings are going better than we expected,” district Director of Facilities and Planning Joseph Grabowski said in an interview last week. Renovation work on the 75-year-old building started last month to repair struc­ tural damage discovered last spring. Further examination by district archi­ tects follow ing the discovery uncovered severe deterioration of the steel supports above the school building’s window open­ ings. The extensive structural repairs needed forced the temporary closure of the school on Sept. 28. Building repairs began on Oct. 5 and are scheduled to continue for 13 weeks. The work is expected to be completed by Jan. 4, when students return from winter break. “We are very pleased with the contrac­ tor, who is making a really good effort to keep us right on schedule,” Grabowski added. Port Monmouth Elementary School stu­ dents have been dispersed throughout the district during the renovations. Students were relocated to Bayview, New Monmouth and Leonardo elementary schools, as w ell as Bayshore M id d le School. Three second-grade classes, including one special education class, moved to Bayview Elementary School. New Monmouth Elementary School is accommodating two third-grade classes, w hile Leonardo elem entary school is holding two fourth-grade Port Monmouth classes. Two fifth-grade classes are attending Bayshore for the duration of the construc­ tion work. Kindergarten classes are temporarily housed in Middletown Village Elementary School and first-graders are attending Harmony Elementary School until January. The kindergartners and first-graders were originally scheduled to use space at the K ing of Kings Lutheran Church on Cherry Tree and Harmony roads. . Administrators decided against sending the students to King of Kings in order to keep Port Monmouth students in the district.

Shari and George Stopera ? , , j wy6M*i'«X1 : h'46«SA3**<l f t ) INDEPENDENT, NOVEMBER 4, 1998 2 1 A c t iv is t f ile s Continued from page 1 1998,” Sullivan stated in her letter to Klagholz. She claims board member and financial committee chairman Robert Whittemore did not know when the $1 million transfer was made. Schools Superintendent Dennis Jackson thought it was an “administrative recommendation, done somewhere right around June 30,” Sullivan further stated. In response to Jackson’s statement, Sullivan alleges the board made the $1 mil­ lion transfer “... without knowledge of the entire board, and without the legally required resolution to transfer these funds.” State statute mandates transfers be made by resolution of the board. The board may, instead, designate the chief school administrator to approve transfers. The board must make the designation by resolution and ratify the administrator’s transfer approvals on a monthly basis. Sullivan claims the transfer was made without board approval or ratification. Concerning the Open Public Meetings Act violation, board member Sherry Gevarter reported at the Oct. 26 meeting that Board President John Johnson joined four members of the board’s personnel committee who met to discuss personnel matters on Oct. 4. “Mr. Johnson was told he could not stay, that his presence would constitute a quorum..... Mr. Johnson insisted on stay­ ing, saying his presence was only in an ex­ officio capacity. He was told his presence ... was not legal. Mr. Johnson refused to C o n tin u e d from p a g e 1 .. v -. his wife and his 15-month-old son, ;is well as his wife's business commitments. "Ours is a modern-day household in which roles can be, and arc. reversed.” he said. "Mv wife is the main breadwinner and I take care of our 15-month-old son, Carson. I am Mr. Mom." Smith said that the situation is further complicated by the fact that he and his their son. "In this day and age. when you hear the horror stories of baby-sitters, we have yet to find anyone in the area to take care of our son.' he said. “Why should we leave our son with a stranger?" Smith is basing his appeal on the fact that other members of the hoard have missed three or more consecutive meet­ ings without any action being taken. “The agenda here is to get me off the hoard because I go against the grain,” Smith said. This is not Smith’s first bout with controversy while on the board. hi 1997 the hoard voted 5-0 to cen­ sure Smith in response to a complaint made by Maureen Mancini. the parent of a high school student. The action came after prolonged board debate over disciplinary action to be taken with regard to a fight between two students. Mancini's daughter, Nicolc, respond­ ed to the board's action against the stu- c h a rg e s leave,” Sullivan claims. Because more than 50 percent of the nine-member board attended the meeting, it constituted a violation of the Open Public Meetings Act, she added. The penalty for violating the Open Public Meetings Act is a $100 fine for the first offense and up to $500 for any subse­ quent offenses. Violation of Board Attorney Malachi Kenney’s contract was another area Sullivan addressed in her letter. At the Oct. 26 meeting, the board announced it had not received a bill for Kenney’s services since July. Stating Kenney has previously been reprimanded by board members “for fail­ ure to provide bills on a timely basis,” Sullivan states “this failure to provide the bills as demanded by his contract further throws into question the validity of the appropriations in this year’s budget.” According to his contract with the board, Kenney is required to submit his bills within 40 days of the billing period. In addition to Sullivan’s claims of il­ legal fund transfer by the board, violation of the Open Public Meetings Act and repeat violation of Kenney’s contract, she alleges the board has failed to provide cur­ rent treasurer and board secretary reports and has paid bills without the required fund-availability certification and the sig­ nature of a member of the financial com­ mittee. The superintendent’s office and Johnson did not return phone calls Monday. paper in support of the students. In the letter she expressed her “utmost disgust" wilh the board’s judgment.

B y A n ita Stratos Correspondent here can you go to find a whole day or evening of entertainment under one roof? The answer is Cue & Brew, Aberdeen’s newest restaurant, billiards and sports bar. Starting with the restaurant, Cue & Brew’s menu includes appetizers, soups, steaks, chicken, pasta, sandwiches and salads. All entrees are prepared to order. The restaurant is open for both lunch and dinner, and take-out is also avail­ able. Pasta dishes, such as rigatoni with spinach and cheese or stuffed shells, are served with a salad. All other entrees, including the 1 6 oz. rib-eye steak, fish and chips, and three jumbo lamb chops, are accompanied by a potato and salad. Daily blackboard specials add to the selections, and may include such choic­ es as flounder and shrimp fra diavolo served over a bed of angel hair pasta. This special was generously portioned, with five very large shrimp and three healthy-sized pieces of flounder. The sauce was delicious, with definite emphasis on the diavolo, making it a perfect selection for those who enjoy their food spicy. Desserts are made by Bindi, currently one of the most popular makers of Italian desserts. That menu contains sev­ eral different items, from ice creams and pineapple or coconut sorbet, to cheese­ cake and multi-layered chocolate cake. The dessert du jour when I visited was a chocolate mousse cake which was rich, smooth, and absolutely scrump­ tious. The sports bar is just outside of the restaurant, and diners can open blinds between the two rooms if they .choose to watch the game while eating. Six televi­ sions in the bar are equipped with a satellite dish NFL package, regaling sports fans with their choice of up to five different games at once. Several sports bar specials add zip to weekdays. Happy hour runs Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. with $1 drafts, complimentary hors d’oeuvres, and other specially priced drinks.

On Thursday nights at 8 p.m. the public is welcome to join in the weekly 9-ball tournament. Children’s birthday party packages are also available for a minimum of 10 children. For $8.95 per child, the party guests receive group billiards lessons fol­ lowed by one hour of pool time, along with hamburgers, hot dogs, French fries, soda and dessert. (Invitations are includ­ ed with the package.) If the billiards instructor notices that any child is having more difficulty learning the game, he will work one-on-one with that child. Drinks are also available in the bil­ liards room, as well as a separate arcade area with more than 20 games. The unique layout of Cue & Brew makes it great for families, date night, or just a fun place to watch a game.

Part of the problem may be that most people don’t consider the lottery as gambling thinker,” said Vivian Andersch, an addic­ tion counselor with Raritan Bay Medical Center’s Addiction Treatment Services in Perth Amboy.

Their addiction becomes more apparent and they begin to gamble more fre­ quently, taking risks and doing almost anything, including stealing, in order to get money for a bet. According to Andersch, this is when gamblers usually come in for counseling. In the last or desperation phase, gamblers are des­ perate for their high and will do anything to get it back, usually to no avail. The center tries to cope with patients with addic­ tive behavior through group or private counsel­ ing sessions and other forms of therapy. Most of the clients who go through the six- to eight-week program at the center have been sent there through referrals from the legal system. Rosemary Oarsley, director of addiction at the treatment center, knows all too well how a gambling addiction begins. She says for most, the N ew Jersey addiction begins with a little extra cash gained from an initial gam­ bling experience, and before long, the gam­ bler is looking for that extra high or rush of excitement. “At first the potential for addiction may not Benefits Education and Institutions be so apparent,” Oarsley said. The lottery is one of the most convenient PART TW O OF A TW O-PART SERIES T Give in to iT A R T n € ft -The New Instant Game Lottery and prevalent forms of gambling, mainly because most people don’t consider it gambling, according to Kevin O ’Neill, deputy director of the Council on Com­ pulsive Gambling of New Jersey Inc. The council is a not-for-profit organiza­ tion created to make government agencies, legislators, corporate leaders and individu­ als aware of the addictive nature of gam­ bling and to obtain funding for education, outreach and treatment programs, accord­ ing to a council press release. According to O ’Neill, the lottery is the No. 2 form of gambling in New Jersey. Casino gambling is No. 1. In 1996, 69 percent of the 26,080 phone calls received by the council were from people who suffered from a lottery addiction and 63 percent of the council’s 23,606 phone calls in 1997 were from the same group of callers. The council conservatively estimates that there may be 150,000 persons in New Jersey who are com­ pulsive gamblers and another 250,000 who have some problems with their gambling. The average gambling addiction lasts for 15 years. The gambling addict compiled an average debt of $35,185 in 1996 and $31,012 in 1997, according to the council. Like other addicts, such as the alcohol and drug abuser, gamblers have a game of choice. For most, it is scratch-off tickets. O ’Neill said other contributing factors in the growth of lottery addiction may be the convenience of buying tickets and the lack of knowledge about gambling addic­ tions. “The lottery is more socially accept­ ed,” Oarsley said. Tickets can be purchased at almost any liquor or convenience store. “The problem is that many vendors don’t want to stop a customer from buy­ ing,” said O ’Neill. “We have strict laws about drinking and driving; why not the same for gambling?” he asked. Unlike businesses that serve alcohol and can be held liable for the actions of intoxicated persons, there is no law pro­ hibiting a vendor from issuing an excessive number of lottery tickets to one person. O ’Neill said he would like to see train­ ing provided to vendors who sell lottery tickets. The Council on Compulsive Gambling was also concerned about the gambling initiative on this week’s ballot, allowing two additional forms of legal­ ized gambling — telephone betting on horse races and wagering on horse races at off-track betting facilities. Ed Looney, the council’s executive di­ rector, said the council, which is “neither for nor against (legalized) gambling in any form,” was concerned that the refer­ endum would open the door to off-track betting sites and phone betting from home. Deputy Director O ’Neill noted that “these new types of gambling venues in New Jersey will produce thousands of new compulsive gamblers.” Looney points out that while the state of New Jersey obtains more that $1 bil­ lion in fees/taxes from lottery, casino, bingo and horse racing revenues, it cur­ rently provides only $600,000 for com­ pulsive gambling programs — $500,000 to the council for its activities and $100,000 for treatment centers. The council has recently released a comprehensive longrange plan calling for the state to increase its annual contribu­ tion to compulsive gambling programs to $1,625,000. Some people were also offended by a recent promotion involving the popular Star Trek theme. Billboards and lottery tickets promoted sales with the slogan: “Resistance is futile. Give in to Star Trek the instant game.” The lottery division in no way tries to pro­ mote compulsive behaviors, according to Foster Krupa, marketing manager for the New Jersey Lottery. “Resistance is futile” is just an easily identifiable phrase from the Star Trek shows, he explained. Krupa said that the division does not make any attempt to endorse gambling and that the slogan was not intended to entice addicted gamblers. “If we felt that way, we certainly would not have used it,” Krupa said. The Star Trek second-chance cam­ paign went well, he noted. The campaign is similar to other promotions that the division has set up, such as Wheel of Fortune and Harley-Davidson, which offer promotional products and services. He said that the campaign is in partnership with a licensing company that buys the rights for familiar names and shows to be used in the state’s promo­ tions. Krupa also said that the division only uses these campaigns because they are recognizable names. “ L i k e o t h e r a d d i c t s , g a m b l e r s h a v e a g a m e o f c h o i c e .

Deep in debt, man at first sees no way out BY T A K E S H A P E T T U S S taff Writer itting in a comer at the New York Public Library, Roy felt as if he had reached the end. For 28 years of his life he had struggled with his addiction to gambling. Sometimes he was high, other times low, but never had he been this low. Roy was 47 years old, and in that time had won thousands of dollars, enough to buy a disco club. But his addiction had made him lose it all. He was now in debt in the millions. His first wife had left him because of his addiction. He lost his job as a board member at an electronics company where he earned more than six figures a year with company cars included. He had already caused his mother enough grief by lying and stealing from her and now he was forced to move back home. He and his second wife were separat­ ed because of his lies, and to top it all off, his daughter was about to enter college, and he had no way of paying her tuition. Roy had played almost all his cards and lost. The night before, he had bet all of his money on the New York and New Jersey lotteries. He got the money by telling his mother he needed cash for expenses for a non-existent job. He lost all of his money playing both state lot­ teries. “I couldn’t do anything,” Roy said. But Roy still had one last ace up his sleeve, and he knew his odds of winning this bet would be 50/50. . He had it all planned out. He would go to a remote comer of the New York library and commit suicide. His last resort. By committing suicide, his children would get his life insurance money, and he would no longer be a burden to his mother. So on July 31, 1991, he slashed his wrists. But his suicide attempt was unsuccessful. He was admitted to a mental institu­ tion where he was evaluated and sent to a treatment facility for his addiction. “I had absolutely no intention of healing,” he said. “I was going to go gamble again” Roy said. But he didn’t. Roy’s recovery, however, did not come easily. He thought that no one could under­ stand his addiction. He thought that he was all alone in the world. “I went to 14 different rooms (of Gamblers Anonymous meetings) because I just knew that nobody was like me,” he said. But he soon found out that he was not the only one. But not until he let his guard down did his recovery began. Today, he works in the textile indus­ try and has a grasp on his life. He says he has been clean from his lottery addiction for more than a year and has paid off every one of his debts with the exception of the debt owed to his mother. “Gamblers Anonymous saved my life,” Roy said.

Because there’s more to health than medicine. fter nearly 30 years of operation, the business of selling lottery tick­ ets isn’t generating much excitement. According to Fred Vajda, owner of Becker’s News Stand, Main Street, South River, recent years have been quiet, first because there has not been a truly large jackpot in several years and second, the machines to sell lottery tickets are everywhere. “It’s been several years since the state has seen anything resembling peo­ ple waiting in line to buy a lottery tick­ et,” Vajda noted. Combine the smaller jackpots with a greater number of machines in recent years — the state switched vendors and updated its computer system so more agents were possible — and the lottery business becomes a smaller part of every retailer’s business, according to Vajda. As might be expected, sales do rise as the size of the jackpot grows. Vajda said he starts seeing an increase in sales when the prize tops $6 million or $8 million, and “when it hits $10 million, it definitely increases.” When the jackpots aren’t big, Becker’s does have “regulars” who buy there every week. Also, according to Vajda, “You get people who come in from time to time to buy tickets as gifts for holidays or birthdays.” Over the years, two jackpot-winning tickets have been sold at Becker’s and that also has had an impact on sales. “Once you have a large winner, peo­ ple consider you a lucky store and you get a little bump in business in the short term,” Vajda said. One tiling the lottery doesn’t do at Becker’s is affect sales of other items in any noticeable way. According to Vajda, that also is because of the wide­ spread availability of machines. “It’s not as if you have anything spe­ cial (with a lottery machine), so it does­ n’t play much into the rest of the busi­ ness,” he noted. And while the state has introduced new lottery games in recent years, it hasn’t had a dramatic effect on sales. Vajda added that the most recent newsletter agents get from the state says that New Jersey has no plans to join the multistate Powerball lottery that can produce jackpots of more than $100 million.

Both major political parties agreed that the lottery question would attract large numbers of low-income voters. The state lottery was approved in the November 1969 electi:an, and plans immediately began to create a system that would produce as much money for the state as possible. On Dec. 16, 1970, tickets became available at 1,853 supermarkets, taverns news stands and retail stores for the state’s first lottery. A::*ents operated under the sign of a four- leaf clover, and sold 50-cent tickets that could make instant millionaires of two persons a year. Three million tickets were printed for that day, but only the first million went into a pool for the first drawing, which was held on Jan. 7, 1971. Drawings after that week took place on every Thursday. At the lottery’s inception, every weekly drawing had one winner of $50,000, nine winners of $4,000,10 win­ ners of $400, as well as 200 winners of $40, and 8,000 winners of free tickets in the millionaire lottery. • The millionaire lotteries were held twice a year, with a pool made up of tick­ ets selling for $2.50 plus the free tickets from the weekly lottery. The first-prize winner got $50,000 a year over 20 years, while a second-prize winner received $20,000 a year for 10 years, and a thirdprize winner received $10,000 a year for 10 years. “Who can compete with the friendly (bookie), the guy who gives you_____, . . - .... credit, .who knows you by your first name, and who’ll sell you a number while buyihg you a beer.” — State Sen.

For more than a century, the story of George Harbo and Frank Samuelsen remained an obscure footnote in New Jersey’s maritime history, according to marine author David W. Shaw of Westfield. Bur now, with the publication of his book, Daring the Sea: The True Story of M the First Men to Row Across the Atlantic Ocean, the full story has been told with attention to detail and respect for the mag­ nitude of the mariners’ feat. Shaw’s book celebrates Harbo and Samuelsen’s bravery and courage. It also celebrates knowledge and skill bom of experience and hard work. For both the author and the two fishermen, mastering their craft was an enabling experience. Harbo and Samuelsen were Scandi­ navians who brought to their voyage knowledge of the sea, boat handling and the craft of fishing. Shaw writes, “George and Frank knew the geography of the Northeastern United States coast as well as the faces of their mothers.” Weary of digging clams for their living, the Norwegian immigrants set off in search of a better life. Thinking they might earn substantial lecture fees if they succeeded in setting a world record, the two men left from the Battery in lower Manhattan on a hot Saturday evening, after having spent the entire day stocking the 5-foot-wide, 250pound boat with the provisions they would need. In the modified 18-foot Sea Bright skiff they had dubbed the Fox, they prepared to Frank Samuelsen was 26 when he left New York for the historic voyage. OCEAN-GOING VESSEL — George Harbo and Frank Samuelsen are shown in their rowboat Fox. The skiff was patterned after the fishing boats used along the Jersey Shore which were launched in heavy surf. For the ocean voyage, the rowboat was equipped with two watertight compartments to keep key items dry and provide added buoyancy in the event of a capsize. Photo courtesy Spencer Samuelsen row 3,000 miles to the Scilly Islands in England, then another 250 miles to Le Havre, France. They named the boat after Richard Kyle Fox, publisher of the Police Gazette, a tabloid-style publication popular in the late 1800s. Fox offered cash prizes for out­ landish acts, such as bridge jumping and boxing matches between prize fighters. Tight space Finding space in the small skiff for 60days worth of provisions that included cans of corned beef, roast beef, baked beans, bread, jam, coffee and “250 raw eggs, sur­ rounded and covered with damp seaweed to keep them from breaking and to retard rotting” was an engineering feat. Other provisions included 60 gallons of water, 16 bottles of wine and 8-inch-wide life belts stuffed with reindeer hair and covered with waterproofed canvas. Also on the floating dock waiting to be stored that warm June day were three pairs of oars made of ash and two pairs made of light spruce. “These were the work horses. Designed for tandem rowing, the Fox would move through flat water at roughly 5 knots with both men rowing hard,” Shaw wrote. The adventurers planned their departure to coincide with the start of the outwardflowing tide, which would begin at around 5 p.m. People lined the rails of Fox’s private yacht as it towed the little row boat through the Narrows to the shores of Brooklyn in Gravesend Bay where the yacht set them free and turned around. “Good luck and godspeed,” the captain yelled. They needed both, especially luck. With no sail or steam engine, not even a rudder to help them steer the boat, they struggled with storms, a capsize, hunger, relentless fatigue, great mental hardship and near collisions with ships, whales and an iceberg. After 55 days at sea they reached the Scilly Islands. An article in the New York Times dated Aug. 1, 1896, stated, “The rowboat Fox passed there (the signal station on the Scilly Islands) at 11:00 o‘clock this morn­ ing after a passage of fifty-five days from New York. “The two occupants of the boat were well but somewhat exhausted from the effects of their long row......They are the first men to cross the Atlantic in a row­ boat.” A week later, they reached Le Havre to shouts of “le petit bateau” (little boat) from the throngs of French people crowd­ ing the wharf. But their dreams of financial largess never materialized, although Fox did pre­ sent them with solid gold medals that reproduced the hull of the rowboat. No subsequent crossing has matched their speed, though many attempts have been made, some resulting in the deaths of the oarsmen, Shaw said. “When you hear about people rowing across oceans it makes you question the sanity of the individuals making the attempt. But when you look beyond the oddity of it, it becomes clear that human nature drives some of us to attempt what seems impossible, to reach out for a dream regardless of the obstacles,” he said. Shaw knows firsthand about attempting what seems impossible. The 37-year-old author was bom with a condition known as congenital nystagmus, a neurological prob­ lem that causes blindness. He can see well enough to walk around, but he cannot drive a car. • In search of his own version of the “American dream,” Shaw sailed a 24-foot sloop through all of the major waterways of the Northeast, writing about the people and places he saw. “My travels took me to the Great Lakes and coastwise from Manasquan to Maine and back over a period of four years,” he said. Author’s odyssey George Harbo was 32 at the time of the voyage. Shaw said he started his odyssey in 1992 when he bought a sail boat. “I had been sailing on other people’s boats since I was 4 years old, but this was the first one I owned. I sunk my life sav­ ings into that boat,” he said. In 1993 he sailed around the Thousand Islands. On the second leg he left Manasquan and sailed to Maine. That took INDEPENDENT, NOVEMBER 4, 1998 3 7 voyage two years, he said. His voyage ended in 1995 and then he took 19 months to write the book. Shaw overcame the limitations of visu­ al impairment with the use of binoculars. Facing the sea alone, confronting gales, fogs, days of fatigue and mental hardship provided him with the insight that brings Harbo and Samuelsen’s story to life. The author’s firsthand experience as a sailor who is familiar with the influence of tides and weather on the ocean contributes greatly to the reader’s appreciation of this well-told and warmly written tale. In the preface Shaw writes, “In my trav­ els aboard my little sloop, often single­ handed, I became a student of the sea. I found it both a cruel and a kind teacher, one I respect and love deeply. “The sea is no place for fools,” he warns, going on to address the question of why some people need to challenge them­ selves to the limit of endurance. “To reach for the stars, literally and fig­ uratively,” he concludes, “is what it means to be human.” Being able to identify with the two men and having the imagination to make their adventure come alive are apparent on every page of the story, as is his skill as a writer. In 1984, Shaw received a B.S. degree in magazine journalism from the Newhouse School of Public Communications, Syracuse University, Syracuse, N.Y. But he could not find a job as a journalist because he could not drive. “I had to find work I could do at home, which is one reason why I became a writer,” he explained. Shaw’s book is based on the original logs Harbo kept during the voyage. The logs are part of a collection of materials donated to the Twin Lights Historic Site in Highlands by the Harbo family. Playing detective Piecing together the details surrounding the voyage put Shaw in the role of detec­ tive. “There were many fictions in that file,” Shaw explained. “Newspaper and magazine accounts written in this century indicated the men made the voyage for a $10,000 prize. I dis­ covered this wasn’t true. There was no prize,” he said. Part of the mystery stemmed from the pair’s connection to Fox. Harbo and Samuelsen were promised gold medals from Fox if they succeeded in the crossing, but there was no $10,000 prize, an amount worth $500,000 in today’s currency, Shaw added. “Daring the Sea is a tale of deep friend­ ship and great courage - of two men new to America who dared to believe in each other as they tested themselves against the majesty of nature,” he said. The two Norwegian immigrants who settled in Atlantic Highlands and became clammers briefly stunned the world. “Rowing transatlantic has become something of a fad these days. But imagine what it must have been like for the first men to try it. After resting in obscurity for more than a century they deserve some recognition,” Shaw said. \ L a n d fa ll, S c illy Is la n d s , A u g u s t I , 18 96 L e H a v re , F ra n ce , A u g u st 7, 1896 ^ Grand New York City,.

The Birch Lane Press book was pub­ lished by Carol Publishing Group, Secaucus, and is available at Walden Books, Barnes and Noble, and other book­ stores. It can also be ordered on-line through Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble, com. The book has been reviewed in the Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, and Off Shore Magazine and the New York Times devoted almost 400 words to the book in the New Jersey section of the Times ’ Sunday edition, Shaw said. The marine author has published a sec­ ond book titled In-land Passage, which has been published by Rutgers University Press, New Brunswick, the academic pub­ lishing company of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. The book, on boats and boating in the Northeast, includes a collection of stories about northeastern waters and covers nat­ ural history and geological forces such as the opening of Cape May and of Barnegat Inlet. It covers the opening of the Point Pleasant canal and includes the Twin Lights Historic Site in Highlands and the Sandy Hook lighthouses. Shaw spent four years of his life poking around the northeastern waterways. “It was terrifying at first,” he said, “but awe inspir­ ing, too. “Harbo and Samuelsen were looking for their own version of the American dream. Clamming wasn’t it. They were searching for their freedom and I was searching for mine,” he said. Shaw has also written a book titled, The Cheapskate’s Guide to Weddings and Honeymoons.

Crap shooters may be seen on the streets almost any night at a late hour. Saturday night is an especially lively night for the crap shooters, for most of the lads and young men of the town are then flush, having been paid o ff that night. Complaints became so numerous that the authorities determined to put an end to the game in town. Henry Johnson’s house at the foot of River Street, in the western part of the town, has had the reputation of being kept as a gam bling house, and recently enough evidence was procured to warrant raiding the place. According to accounts of the place, which were given to the police by some of the habitues of the house, the way to get in was by going to the rear, down to the cellar and thence up the inside cellar steps. Here the door was guarded by a man on the inside, and no one was allowed in without the proper password. About a score of young men were regular attendants at the crap games, and the house got a percentage of the win­ nings. According to the statements of the police, the profits o f the house last Saturday night were over $15. The campaign of 1898 will be in full swing by the close of this week. The cam­ paign has been late in getting under way. It is an “o ff’ year in politics and that is one reason why the campaign has lacked spirit. Another reason, and perhaps the chief reason for the lack of vigor thus far manifested on both sides in this campaign, is found in the fact that the nervous ener­ gy of the people was used up during the excitement of the war. After such periods of excitement there is a natural reaction, in comparison with the stirring war feel­ ing, the interest in politics must be slight. The taxpayers of Monmouth County’s municipalities now are seeing the fruits of the school-aid tax on cigarettes levied by the state July 1 to improve New Jersey’s educational standards. The total coming into Monmouth County is $421,286.88, according to Commissioner Darby’s certi­ fication. The payments benefit the taxpayers directly by easing the burden on property, it is pointed out, and at the same time help the educational system by perm itting higher salaries to teachers and meeting other increased school costs. The new Liberty Hose Company fire house at Keyport was inspected and offi­ cially dedicated this weekend with an “open house” reception. Construction of the new building, which cost approximately $45,000, began last spring. The new fire house, one of the most modem in Monmouth County, was erected on a company-owned “lot.” The building is made of cinder block covered with stucco.

The super-structure of the old Southern railroad bridge across the river at Red Bank is down and part of the foun­ dation pilings has been removed. Doing away with the old bridge has made a big improvement in the appearance of the river and if things continue to do as well for Capt. Charles P. Irwin as they have since he started the job of removing the bridge, he will have a big improvement in his bank account. David Soffel of Lincroft is one farmer who does not believe in enforced idleness during the fall and winter when there is little for farmers to do except routine chores. Mr. Soffel bought a small cider mill and put up a building for it. He says he has been agreeably surprised at the large number of sales of cider he has made and the great quantity of apples which farmers have hauled to the mill to be made into cider. He sells a great deal of cider to autoists. Mr. Soffel is very careful about keeping the cider sweet. There is no trace of alcohol in it. If it gets hard after­ wards, it is nature and not Mr. Soffel that commits the crime.

INDEPENDENT, NOVEMBER 4, 1998 4 1 S po r t s C o lt s c a p t u r e S C to u r n e y c ro w n BY NEIL SCHUM A N _______________________ S ta ff W riter lthough there was no score at halftime of Monday night’s Shore Conference Tournament championship game, casual observers had to be concerned about the fate of the Christian Brothers Academy boys soccer team. Neptune’s Scarlet Fliers were dictating the flow of play on the Wall High School pitch, winning balls and taking the action to the Colts. But those casual observers probably didn’t know what CBA’s players, coaches and dedicated followers knew — the Colts are a second-half team. And after Coach Dan Keane made some adjustments during the intermission, the Colts proved it once again, outscoring Neptune 3-1 to capture the conference cham­ pionship. It was the Middletown school’s first SCT title since 1993 and fourth outright title. CBA shared the crown with Jackson in 1988 after playing to a scoreless draw. “I don’t think it’s anything to do with a halftime speech or anything like that,” Keane said, while shivering after receiving the obligatory water bucket dousing from his players. “They just seem to play harder when they know the game’s on the line.” In the second half, the Colts forced play to the outside part o f the field to take advantage of the way Neptune sweeper Brian Bloodgood was playing deep and to better exploit the speed advantage that their forwards held on the Neptune defenders. “The first half, we didn’t go to the ball well,” Keane said. “Neptune is a very tough, physical, strong, tall team. We had problems with that. But in the second half we went to the ball better.” Steve Gachineiro had a pair of goals to bring his team-leading season total to 20, but it was Brad Murphy’s goal with 4:45 remaining in regulation that proved to be the game winner. Less than three minutes earlier, Neptune’s Mike Imbriaco had tied the game, blasting an arcing shot to the top right comer of the net from short range. But when Murphy connected with a head ball, after a ball from Rory Fitzgerald rebounded off Neptune goalkeeper Chris Barlow, he raised his fist in celebra­ tion, confident that the Colts were on their way to the title. “It was incredible,” Murphy said. “I brought the ball down to the end line and I dribbled and saw a cross, so I crossed it over, but no one was in front of the goal. Rory Fitzgerald picked it up. He sent a ball and it hit the keep­ er and deflected off of him, so I sent a header right to the top comer. I just went nuts.” Gachineiro, who added an insurance tally with 1:53 to play, broke the scoreless deadlock off a well-executed give-and-go with Murphy in the 50th minute. “Me and Murphy ran through the ball, he poked it through to me,” Gachineiro said. “I had the keeper oneon-one and I just put it by him.” Joe Barham, the Colts’ junior goalkeeper, was tested often, particularly in the first half, but refused to be beat­ en. “The pressure was terrible in the first half, but we’re a second-half team,” said Barham. “That’s the way we’ve played all season, so we kind of expected it.” The play of senior marking back Rich Krzeminski provided the backbone of the Colts’ defensive effort. His job was to neutralize junior scoring machine Chris Beekman, the Shore’s leading offensive player (22 goals, 12 assists.) “He’s got the speed, which is tough,” Krzeminski said of Beekman, “but it’s really no problem because I’m pretty fast, too. He’s a really good player and he had his A RUNNING IT DOWN — Christian Brothers Academy’s John Arbour tries to get by a Neptune player in the Shore Conference tournament final on Monday. The Colts topped the Scarlet Fliers 3-1 for the title. Jackie Pollack/Greater Media chance. He had a shot at the beginning of the game and it just didn’t happen.” Krzeminski has brought his quiet confidence to the Colts throughout the season, a confidence that seems to have rubbed off on his teammates, who know just how dependable he has been. “He’s just the fastest, quickest marking back I’ve ever had at CBA,” Keane said. “Rich stopped Beekman and that was the biggest thing, because he’s Neptune’s leading goal scorer,” Barham said. “We knew if we stopped him it would be our game.” Shortly after Neptune’s Nick Taylor received a yellow card in the 53rd minute, Krzeminski turned in the play of the game. Barham went out to make a save and was knocked down, causing the ball to slip through his hands and leav­ ing an open net for Neptune’s Bruce Krezonis. Krzeminski got to the goal just in time to knock away what would have been the equalizing goal. “I always back up Joey when he goes out, because there’s always a chance of it going in,” Krzeminski said. “So I ’m always down the line for him.” With their conference championship in tow, the Colts will now begin their quest for a New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association Parochial A title. As the top seed in South Jersey Parochial A, the Colts have received a first-round bye. They’ll have more than a week until they play the winner of a game between Camden Catholic and St. Joseph of Metuchen in a sec­ tional quarterfinal. “I’m a senior and this is such a good way to go out,” said Gachineiro. “We have one more thing left to accom­ plish and that’s a state championship.” WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO PULL? — A Neptune High School player tries to stop Steve Gachineiro from play­ ing the ball in the SCT final.

The Eagles will begin their bid for a state sectional title tomorrow at home against the winner of yesterday’s match between North Brunswick (10) and Neptune (7). “We’re looking forward to the states and would like another shot at playing Wall,” said Kurzynowski. 9viary ‘B eth M cCabe, ‘D .M .'D . 1-888-968 EGGS 3447 Ask for Mary Ellen (Please call Between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.) Rt. 27 in Somerset • Rt. 9 in Manalapan www.ivfnj.com USi M ew J e rs e y F e rtility & G ynecology Center, P.A.

The Middletown South High School senior has done everything on Holmdel Park’s 5,000-meter cross country course this year except face a challenge from an­ other runner. On Saturday she put her second sub-18minute performance (17:59.4) in the books at the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association Central Jersey Group III Championships. Once again, she came in more than a full minute ahead of the field. Ocean’s Pam Meadors was second in 19:03.3. At the Shore Coaches Invitational at the beginning of the month Guiney became the first girl in a decade to run under 18 min­ utes at Holmdel. “I know I have faster races in me, but I didn’t have anyone pushing me,” Guiney said. “It’s really hard to run your hardest when there’s no one pushing you. Hopefully at the Meet of Champions I can run with someone who will.” Guiney is referring to Haddonfield’s Erin Donohue, the only girl in the state who seems to have a chance of forcing Guiney to run a faster pace. Donohue is just a sophomore, but she ran Holmdel in 18:36 as a freshman. This year she said she would try to get under 18 minutes at the Shore Coaches meet, but ran about 19 minutes and was clearly unhappy about it. If Donohue is able to force the pace, Guiney thinks she can cut her own time significantly, though she plans on running her race. “I don’t like going out too hard,” Guiney said. “I don’t know what Erin’s going to do, but I know my pace. I know if someone’s close I ’ll pick it up.” Janet Smith of J.P. Stevens holds the course record for girls at 17:36, and the Middletown senior wouldn’t predict top­ ping it, but she didn’t rule it out either. “I really hope she runs fast, because I know I can go faster (than she has to date),” Guiney said. “(Breaking the record) would be very tough, but I don’t think it’s impossible.” T m e e t -Should Guiney cut her time, she expects the seconds will come after the first mile. On Saturday she said she passed the first mile post at 6:05, about the time she passed it at the Shore Coaches meet and other races this year. “I ’m pretty happy with my first mile pace,” Guiney said. The Boston College-bound senior led Middletown South to a second-place team finish, allowing the Eagles to advance as a team to the Nov. 14 state group meet. Finishing well enough there will allow the Eagles to advance as a team to. the Meet of Champions. Second across the line for the Eagles was Maggie Guiney, Cate’s twin sister, also headed for Boston College next fall. Maggie Guiney pushed her time under 20 minutes for the first time, covering the course in 19:51.5, to finish fourth. “I felt pretty good the whole time,” Maggie Guiney said. “We didn’t do speed work yet. we kind of trained through this. We trained hard all week.” Jackie DeMaio was the third runner for South, crossing the line 10th in 21:04.3 and Sarah Brennessel ran a personal best of 21:06.5 to finish 11th. Julia Baratta closed out the scoring for the Eagles with a time of 21:34.6 that put her 14th. Kate Bongiolatti and Michelle Cullum rounded out the South team’s efforts on the day, coming 18th and 33rd respectively. Bongiolatti ran the course in 21:34.6 while Cullum finished in 21:54.6. While Guiney was the only individual winner, several area teams, including Middletown South’s boys, will advance to the state group meet. Matt Kootman led the Eagles with a 16:59.2 clocking that gave him sixth place in the CJ Group III boys race. Kevin Cullen followed with a 17:33.6 and Drew Kirschbaum was right on his heels in 17:34.

The Hazlet high school’s football team got 190 rushing yards from D ’lorio in Friday night’s 28-12 Shore Conference Class B North win at St. John Vianney, Holmdel. D ’lorio, who scored his 15th touchdown of the season, with a five-yard run in the second quarter, now has a Shore Conference-leading 1,182 yards, giving him the school’s single-season rushing record. He passed Sean Malone in the Rocket record book. “Joe has really good vision and deceiv­ ing speed,” said Raritan coach Bob Generelli. “He knows when to bounce out­ side, but his vision is what makes him most effective.” Junior fullback Ramon Trinidad has been doing his share of opening holes for D ’lorio, while learning the ropes for possi­ bly moving into the feature-back role next season. “Ramon is really getting there,” Generelli said. “He’s really a tailback type forced into the fullback role, but he’s showing a lot of progress.” The Rockets’ “Block party” unit got into the act just before halftime. T.J. Harmata blocked John Werner’s punt deep in Lancer territory. Anthony Petruzzi picked up the ball at the two and brought it into the end zone, giving Raritan a 21-6 halftime advantage. “We feel like our special teams have been doing a pretty decent job,” said Generelli. “They were the key on Friday.” Junior quarterback Glenn Nicholl con­ tinued to make his first varsity season a major success story. Nicholl passed for 139 yards, including a 57-yard first-quarter TD pass to David White. “When you consider that last year I R e a s o n s L is te n T o T o FM , {Jef-gesCf s Music Listen to Magic 98.3 FM and you could win 98 bucks!

Returning linebackers Petruzzi and Scott Nicholl and linemen Michael Drennan and Evan Tarrazi have spear­ headed strong efforts, including Friday night’s win and a loss to Neptune the pre­ vious week, in which the 42-6 score was extremely deceiving. The Rockets had the Scarlet Fliers very concerned after taking a 6-0 lead and making it tough for them to move the ball. “We go out there with the attitude of ‘let’s go out and hit them for 48 minutes and let the chips fall where they may,”’ said Generelli. On Friday night, the Rockets play host to Red Bank Regional with a chance to im­ prove their overall record to 6-2 and their divisional mark to 3-2. Given the tough Class B North schedule the Rockets must face, that would be a significant accom­ plishment. A win also gives Raritan a pret­ ty good shot at playing a home game in the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association Central Jersey Group II play­ offs, which begin next week. It would be Raritan’s first home game in the states since 1981. “The thing that excites us the most is that we have a shot at back-to-back trips to the playoffs,” said Generelli, who took over the program prior to the 1996 sea­ son. “We have been steadily improving and increasing our number of wins each season. When we first got here, we took over a group that had a 16-game losing streak.” SPORT SHORTS The Hazlet Diamonds an under-15 girls soccer team, topped the Toms River Jaguars 5-0 as Laura Deily scored a hat trick and Kim Me Alary and Mallory Byrne also tallied. Defenders Jenny Holdzkom, Megan Deering and Ann Moulton were steady in front of goalie Andrea Raneri who posted her first shutout of the season.

The Rockets put five runners in the top 25 at the New Jersey Interstate Athletic Association Central Jersey Group II race, en route to finishing third. The top five teams and top 10 individ­ uals qualify for the state group meet. Sophomore Jim Donovan led the way for the Hazlet school with an impressive 17:17.4 mark that gave him the fifth spot in the race. Senior Glenn Koslowsky came in 12th in 17:41.9 with freshman Greg Howe B th in 17:50.9. The Rockets’ first five featured John Bolsch in 20th in 18:05.1 and Phill Guinn was 25th in 18:11.6. Scott Mac Dougall came across the line at 18:27.2 in 31st and Eddie Wright was 40th in 18:50.9. Coach Dan Loughran noted he was happy with his whole squad’s effort, but Howe’s 'performance stood out and was most encouraging. “Look at his calves,” Loughran said. “He’s still got little baby legs. When he develops, look out.” Loughran was waiting for his team out on the course, and he said “every kid smiled at me and I knew we were in good shape. They dedicated themselves.” This marks a return trip to the state group meet for the Rockets. They made it last year after almost a decade of missing the race. Loughran plans on making the most of the team’s chance. “I told them we’re going to come back over the next two weeks and work on the bowl. That’s where teams lose it,” the S q u a lif y m e e t coach said. “They don’t go hard into it, but we’ll be back here and work on it.” Holmdel, coached by Bill Loughran, Dan’s brother, also will be at the state group meet, after a fourth-place team fin­ ish. Tim Harris led the Hornets, crossing the line 18th-place in 17:59.6. Jeff Chen and Brian Koch came in a half second apart, Chen was 26th in 18:13.6 and Koch was 27th in 18:14.1. Rob Jackel was not far off their pace, 29th in 18:22.3, and Anand Natarajan was the final point scorer for the Hornets on the day, finishing 32nd in 18:29.5. Aditya Raghunandan and Fran Perrone rounded out the Hornets’ team effort, fin­ ishing 47th and 48th. Raghunandan ran 19:11.8 and Perrone ran 19:14.6. Laura Diely of Keyport and Christina Vullo of Holmdel both finished sixth, Diely in CJ Group I and Vullo in CJ Group II, to advance to the state group meet as individuals. Diely ran a 22:06.7 race and Vullo stepped off a 21:07 in her event. Adam Wagner of Keyport ran 10th in the CJ Group I race to qualify for the state group meet as an individual as well. He covered the course in 18:16.1. Christian Brothers Academy once again ran away with the boys race at the New Jersey Catholic Track Conference meet. The Colts notched their 17th straight victory in the race, held at Warinaco Park in Roselle. CBA’s runners ran as a pack, placing fourth to ninth in roughly 16:50. Geoff Fahey was first for the Colts, fol­ lowed by Brian Kerwin, Steve Schaefer, Tom Faldey, Andrew Filachek and Jeff Dichiara. St. John Vianney’s Jody Benedict led the field in the girls race at Warinaco Park, winning in 19:43. SPORT SHORTS The T.J.

The win, which improved the Seraphs’ overall record to 4-3 and their divisional mark to 2-2, put them in good position to qualify for the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association Parochial I playoffs for the second con­ secutive season. “Our kids just love to play ‘D ’,” said Seraphs coach Craig Cicardo. “I had to beg them this week to play offense and special teams like they play defense.” The Seraph offense, which entered the game ranked 39th in the Shore, netted 181 yards, 53 yards better than its pre-game average. But it was one big play that sup­ plied Mater Dei with all the points it need­ ed. Trailing 3-0 after Shore’s Jamie Ryerson connected with a 35-yard field goal early in the second quarter, the Seraphs scored the game’s only touchdown on John Ellison’s 63-yard run. With 4:34 remaining in the half, Ellison burst through a hole, cut to the left sideline and headed toward the end zone. “I was actually bobbling the ball when I came through the hole,” said Ellison, a 6­ 0, 170 pound junior. “I just caught up to the ball and took off.” And once Ellison got free, he raced un­ touched for the game-winning score, which was followed by Kevin Smith’s point after. Ellison finished the game with 81 yards on 11 carries. In the second half, Eric D ’Alessandro had some big carries, as the Seraphs mounted a pair of drives that were ham­ pered by penalties. D ’Alessandro, a junior, carried 13 times for 71 yards.

Sacks by T.J. Lionetti, Justin Diomede, Joe DeAngelis and David Cook made it difficult for Shore quarter­ back Peter Vincelli to do his job. “It was a team effort, there was no one individual who won the game for us,” said Diomede, a junior linebacker. “John Ellison should get the game ball for break­ ing all those tackles.” Vincelli, normally a standout halfback, was forced into the starting quarterback role after Pat O ’Neill suffered a broken jaw the previous week against Asbury Park. “Shore was in a rough situation. They lost their quarterback,” Cicardo said. “They had a great athlete that they put at quarterback, which was a great move by them and we knew that.” Shore got the ball back at the Mater Dei 41-yard line, with 2:04 remaining in the game. After a couple of short gains, Cook knocked down a third-down pass. DeAngelis then swatted away a fourthdown pass attempt as soon as it left Vincelli’s hand, to ice the win. “We came in here all fired up,” Cook, a senior, said. “Our coaches got us pumped up, we got ourselves pumped up and we know that our defense is the backbone of our team. We wore them down in the end.” SPORT SHORTS St. M ary’s School girls soccer team closed out there season with two wins and a loss to finish at 6-2-1. The Middletown school picked up wins over crosstown rival St. Leo and Tinton Falls and fell to Colts Neck.

Weichert Realtors I2 t INDEPENDENT, NOVEMBER 4, 1998 4 9 MARKETPLACE REAL ESTATE Two family house can help pay mortgage If you would like to buy a nice house and have somebody else help pay the mortgage, consider a two-family house, says Rose DeGirolamo of the Matawan/Aberdeen area office of Coldwell Banker. “Buying a two-family house, living in one unit and renting out the other, can be a very good way to get started in home ownership and work up to a more comfortable and luxurious home.” “There are a couple of things you must consider before making this step,” DeGirolamo says. She recommends you investigate how much rent you will be able to collect for the rental space in the house you’d like to buy. Your real estate agent can help you determine how much rent you will be able to charge. “Keep in mind, the tax implications of rental property are more complex than those of a single family house, and the mortgage requirements are different. If you have never owned a rental property before, you will want to get tax advice from a tax expert before you make your choice,” DeGirolamo added. A buyer should also be aware of local ordinances. Multi-family houses are not permitted everywhere. Buying a house with an illegal apartment and renting it out can get you in trouble with local officials and result in hefty fines. Your real estate agent can help you determine if the rental spaces are legal in any house you want to buy. You must also consider the responsibil­ ities of being a landlord, DeGirolamo explained. “Many people really enjoy managing their property, but it is a busi­ ness, and takes time. You will be responsi­ ble for finding tenants, collecting the rent, and maintaining the rental unit. You may get a call late at night that the heater isn’t working, or the plumbing leaks.” Buying a two-family house or a multi­ family house can be a very good idea, but it is a little different than buying a single­ family house. It is a good idea'to work with a real estate agent who is knowledge­ able about that market segment. Many of the sales associates in the Matawan/Aberdeen area office of Coldwell Banker have experience working with families and investors who want a multi-family house. If you would like to explore the idea of buying a multi-family house, or see some of the houses that are available in this market area, call (732) 583-5000.
