W intry weather has provid­ed opportunities for out­door fun for young and

old alike at several local county parks.

The popular snow sledding hill at Holmdel Park, Longstreet Road, will remain open as long as a least two inches o f snow cover the ground.

On those days, supervised sled­ding is from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

For those who prefer to take to the ice, there is also a safe ice skat­ing fac ility at H olm del Park. Skating conditions change from

day to day, so check with the Park System by calling 841-4000 to see if the facility is open.

“Skating Today” signs are post­ed when the ice is safe, and “No Skating Today” signs when it is not.

Skating is also available, condi­tions permitting, at the Manasquan R ese rv o ir in H ow ell, T urkey Sw am p P ark in F reeho ld and Shark River Park in Neptune.

For cross-country ski lovers, there are a variety o f trails and fields to try at area county parks, including Holm del Park, and in Middletown: Tatum Park, Holland Road, Thompson Park, Newman Springs Road; Sunnyside Recre­ation Area, M iddletown-Lincroft Road.

U nder a contract agreem ent reached in December, Hazlet police will receive salary increases of 14 percent over three years,

and, for the first time, they will receive medical benefits when they retire.

The contract provides a retroactive 4.75 percent salary increase for 1995, another 4.75 increase in ] 996 and a 4.5 percent increase in 1997.

Under the agreement, the starting salary of an officer with one year of service will increase from $38,062 in January 1994 to $43,643 in January 1997. The salary of an officer with three years of service will go from $46,894 in January 1994 to $53,769 in January 1997.

In January 1997, the salary of a captain will be $65,246, while lieutenant will earn $61,745 and a sergeant will earn $58,222.

The medical benefits would last until age 65, when Medicare kicks in. Officers currently do not receive medical benefits when they retire.

The contract also includes an early-retirement incentive for eligible officers who retire by Nov. 1, outgoing Mayor Mary Jane Wiley said Thursday. Wiley will serve as deputy mayor this year.

The incentive package provides spouses as well as officers with full medical benefits up to age 65, Wiley said.

Wiley said about six officers have the required 25 years of service to be eligible for retirement.

Police currently contribute $260 per year to their m edical prem ium s, according to Tow nship Committee member Ron Walsh, who was sworn in Monday as mayor.

Retirees would continue to make the copay­ments. ,

“This is something the PBA really wanted,” said Walsh. Walsh expects four officers to take advan­tage of the retirement incentive. Since they are at the top of the pay scale, this should provide some savings to the township, he said.

Another part of the agreement reduces reim­bursements for unused sick days at the time of retirement from 100 to 50 percent. However, the reduced benefit only applies to officers hired start­ing in 1996. Any officer currently on the force will continue to get paid 100 percent for unused sick days.

The new contract also increases the longevity bonus for five years of service from $650 to $750.

Patrolman Art Lynch, president of the Hazlet Policemen’s Benevolent Association Local No. 189, confirmed the settlement details, but declined

Matawan seniors go IvyBY LAUREN JAEGER

S t a f f W r i t e r

ABERDEEN — Mike Miarmi and Jeff W einshenker, outstanding seniors at Matawan Regional High School, have been admitted early to Yale and Harvard, respec­tively.

Their latest achievement isn’t sur­prising, however, when one considers their track record.

Jeff, who ranks first in the class, earned a score of 1560 on the SAT’s, while Mike, who ranks second, earned a “modest” 1400. The highest possible score on the exam is 1600.

Both are members of the National Honors Society, and Jeff serves as president of the school’s chapter.

But the friends say that a strong aca­demic background was not the reason for getting accepted into the school of choice — it was a contributing factor.

“Every application an Ivy League col­lege receives is a 4.0 grade point average,” Mike said.

Both claim that it was their good ability to communicate thoughts across to others, extra- curricular activities, and volunteer service which admitted them into two of the most prestigious universities in the country.

The seniors both like working with other seniors — senior citizens, that is.

“We both attempt to give a lot back to the community,” Jeff said. “I play the trum­pet for the people in the nursing homes, and it gives me satisfaction to see their appreci­ation.”

Mike is a volunteer transporter of ra­diology patients at Bayshore Community Hospital in Holmdel. Many of the people are elderly, he said.

“It’s interesting,” he said. “I get to hear about people’s lives. One told me he was a great golfer, and I'm just getting into the game.

“You get to know the hospital staff, too,” Mike said. “These people are ex­tremely hard workers. The nurses deserve as much credit as the doctors. They work the hardest and are sometimes under appre­ciated, I think.”

Mike visits nursing homes as well.“These people have been through the

worst. They’ve lived through the Great Depression and World War II. They taught me that you have to live life for the day. Enjoy what you have and what comes to you. You do not know what is in store.”

“Their lives have touched mine.” Jeff said of the elderly nursing home residents. ‘There is one woman who is 101 years old

at the Emery Manor. She is still going strong and has a positive outlook. Another is 96 years old. I was complaining about the recent snowstorm, and she said to me, ‘Que Sera Sera’ (what will be, will be).”

Like all teen-agers, Mike and Jeff have been subjected to their fair share of peer pressure and adolescent trauma.

However, Jeff said that while the teen­age years are a “tense time with a lot of stress,” one has to learn to get a grip on the emotions.

“However, I’ve always had a lot of fam­ily support,” he said. “We talk about prob­lems and try to find ways to combat the problem. You can’t let things build.”

He was also one of the seven co­founders of Students Involved in Drug Education, (S.I.D.E.) a Matawan Regional High School support group.

The students are asked to write down their problems anonymously on a piece of paper. The paper is read aloud during a

S.I.D.E. session, and the group brainstorms ways to help resolve the conflict.

In this way, the teen-ager is present dur­ing the reading but never gets identified, saving a good deal of embarrassment, Jeff said.

Both say they are not geniuses.Mike said he was never quick to catch

onto math, so he spent extra time studying that subject and always asked for help.

“The important thing is, we compete within ourselves,” Jeff said. “We focus on ourselves, and not what the next guy may have accomplished.”

Also, they are unsure of what profes­sions they may chose.

Mike enjoys history, economics and government, but, “I’m leaning toward a medical profession.”

“1 have to wait and see,” Jeff said. “I could enter college and have a great profes­sor in molecular biology and find out that is my interest.”

Surprisingly, Jeff’s favorite subject is not calculus, computer science or anything related. Instead, he likes music best, with tennis a close second.

“Joining the high school marching band helped shape my life,” he said, noting he’s played the trumpet since the fourth grade. “It was memorable socially and academi­cally. It made me work hard and learn to organize my schedule. It got us to take pride for everything we did We worked as a team. Even when we lost, we took pride."

Jeff served on the student council for four years. In his freshman and sophomore years, he was class president. Junior year he was vice president and today, he is second vice-president. Mike serves on the senior class general assembly.

The teen-agers received word of their Ivy-League acceptance last month.

Mike decided to wait for the acceptance or rejection letter to arrive, while Jeff phoned the campus to learn whether or not he was admitted.

Jeff said as a busy signal continued for hours, his heart was pounding.

Finally, the phone rang and “I gave my name, social security number and other I.D. She said, ‘Congratulations.’ ”

“It was such a relief,” Jeff said, adding that there was a joyous hallway celebration with many other students.

Mike, however, came home to the enve­lope with the return address of Yale

University.His mother, Susan, who promised not to

open it before he came home, spent an ago­nizing day holding the envelope up the light, he said.

“I opened the letter and read the words, ‘It’s a pleasure to inform you,”’ and put it back,” Mike said, of learning the great news. “We read it over 500 times.”

The new college students have some impressive acts to follow.

Yale, in New Haven, Conn., was found­ed in 1701 and counts among its graduates Presidents W illiam Howard Taft and George Bush, film director Jodie Foster, and history-book greats Nathan Hale and Samuel Morse.

Harvard, founded in 1636 in Cambridge. M ass., counts among its graduates Presidents Theodore and Franklin Rooseveli and John F. Kennedy.

Are there any parenting secrets to learn to raise Ivy League-bound teen-agers?

“My parents just provided constant sup­port and encouragement. They always told me to 'do the best you can,’ ” Jeff said.

Mike said that there were no parental threats or pressure to earn excellent grades. Instead, he just wanted to hu the books and study.

“I think most people can do it, loi some reason,” Mike said. “For some unexplain­able reason, we took advantage of the possi­bilities that were out there.”

W einshenker, who went to the Governor’s School of Public Issues this past summer, spent part of the summer hiking in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. His expedition led him to win the bronze level Congressional award.

Miarmi, editor-in-chief of the school newspaper, Huskieview, interned with Greater Media Newspapers over the sum­mer.

In June, he attended a five-day con­ference to learn more about the business from Columbia University, after his school newspaper was awarded a silver medal from the C olum bia Scholastic Press Association.

Jeff, the son of Barbara, a math teacher, and Irwin, an equitable agent, has a sister, Ellen, a junior at Rutgers University.

Mike, the son of Robert, a department store manager, and Susan, an assistant to an o rthopedic surgeon, has a sister, Lindsay, 13.

Computers purchased w ith grant________ BY LAUREN JAEGER________

Staff W r i t e r

KEYPORT — The borough’s police department will be brought into the com­puter age, thanks to a $17,888 grant awarded by the US Department of Justice.

Keyport Police Captain Ted Gajewski said all of the money will be used to pur­chase computers and to pay for staff train­ing.

“It will make it easier to look certain records up and to correlate specifics,” he said of the new computers. “It saves time and saves paper.”

First, the department has to submit to the Federal Government an itemized list of equipm ent they plan to purchase, Gajewski said.

Upon approval, the Keyport Police Department will purchase the equipment, he said.

The grant program, called Community O riented Policing Services, M aking Officer Redeployment Effective (COPS MORE) is geared to help small police sta­tions serving communities with less than 150,000 people.

The grants provide 75 percent of the cost of hiring, overtime or equipment, with a 25 percent local match.

Rep. Frank Pallone, Jr., D-NJ, said that Keyport was one of seven municipalities in the Sixth Congressional D istrict to receive a grant under this program.

He said that it was established by the Clinton Administration under the Crime Bill.

“The program helps law enforcement agencies hire support staff, purchase equipm ent and pay for overtim e, ex ­panding the time available for these police officers to do community policing work, rather than administrative duties,” Pallone said.

“Congressional Republican leaders have tried to push through a justice ap­propriations bill that guts the COPS grant p ro g ram ,” Pallone said. “P residen t Clinton said he will veto any version of that legislation that does not fund the COPS program in its authorized form, vowing to maintain the commitment we made when we passed the Crime Bill to help our cities and towns put more police officers on the streets.”

MATAWAN — “Dull, boring, and very quick,"said Mayor Robert Shuey, when asked last week to describe the most likely outcom e o f the Jan. 1 re -o r­ganization meeting.

“No surprises,” he said. “We had a pretty good year last year, so we are keep­ing things the same.”

Shuey, who won a th ird term as mayor, will be sworn in, as will Coun- cilwoman Bea Duffy and Councilman Dr. Joe W allace, keeping the Borough Council all-Republican.

Bob Bucco, the borough engineer, and Fred Kalma, the borough attorney, will be sworn in for another year.

The borough’s new Youth Advisory Committee, a brainstorm of Duffy’s, will not be developed until later this month, Shuey said.

HOLMDEL — Holmdel police have a new lead in the Dec. 22 armed robbery at Shrewsbury State Bank.

Last week, an eyewitness came for­ward and gave police a description of a third suspect who served as the getaway driver, Detective Kenneth McGowan said.

The robbery occurred at approximately 10:30 a.m. Dec. 22 at the bank’s branch at Laurel Avenue and Route 35 south, police said.

McGowan said two masked robbers entered the bank from the rear and fled with an undetermined amount of money. The police did not know about the get­away driver until the witness came for­ward.

One of the robbers brandished a semi­automatic handgun during the holdup, Detective McGowan said. No one was injured. Police have not revealed the

Property officer is firedKEYPORT — Jim Smith, the bor­

ough’s part-time property maintenance officer, was fired at a special meeting of the Borough Council held Dec. 28.

Hired in March 1994, Smith’s position, which earned $8,500 a year, required him to drive around the borough and issue warnings or citations to those residents who did not maintain their property up to code.

However, Smith’s performance left a lot to be desired in the past few months, according to Mayor Kevin Graham.

Graham said Smith did not file reports in A ugust and Septem ber. When he resumed in October, the report contained a handful of entries.

But the mayor added that Smith would not return phone calls to any residents or council members who had questions.

“We had complaints from too many directions, and this has been going on for some time,” he said. “We sent numerous notices (about the problem) by certified mail but got no response.”

Smith, who formerly was the code enforcement officer for the Highlands, could not be reached for comment on Friday. The mayor said the issue of poorly maintained properties in town would be pursued after the new year. How the prop­erty owners would be pursued, however, has not been decided.

A PIECE OF HEAVEN— 106-year-old Florence Layton enjoys a piece of her favorite food, chocolate. Ronald Boyadjian of C riterion Chocolates presented Layton with a box of candy in honor of her being the first mem­ber in “Chocolate of the Month” club.

Chocolate company starts monthly club

HOLMDEL— Who says getting old does not have its rewards?

Along with living a long healthy life, 106-year-old Florence Layton, a patient for eight years at the B ayshore Care Center, Holmdel, received another award Dec. 27.

Layton becam e the first honorary member of the “Chocolate of the Month Club” sponsored by Criterion Chocolates Inc., Eatontown.

Three representatives from the com­pany presented Layton with a framed cer­tificate depicting her as an honorary mem­ber along with a box of assorted choco­lates.

Com pany represen ta tive Ron Boyadjian said the company had been thinking of starting a “Chocolate of the Month Cub” for some time.

C riterion C hocolates learned of Layton’s love for chocolate from an in­terview with Layton in the Dec. 13 edition of The Independent.

“An employee brought the article to my attention and the company thought it would be nice to make Layton our first honorary member,” Boyadjian said.

Every month for as long as Layton is a chocolate lover, she will receive a free box of assorted chocolates.

It did not take much effort in getting Layton to try a piece.

The moment Boyadjian mentioned the word chocolate she extended her hand and asked, “Where’s the piece of chocolate?”

Criterion will be “kicking o ff’ the new chocolate club by advertising in print ads and their mailing list.

The procedure for getting into the club requires calling the company and telling them the type of candy you’d like, the size of the assortment and who will be receiv­ing the candy.

Boyadjian said the price of the candy boxes can range from $5 to $17.

‘The price really depends on quantity of chocolate and the arrangement people request,” he said.

The company will prepare chocolates according to the seasons such as hearts for Valentine’s Day and bunnies for Easter.

Criterion has been in existence for the past 67 years and makes all the candy by hand on the premises.

Another representative from the com­pany, Jean Charte, said C riterion has already received a request from someone who is interested in making a loved one part of the club.

Committee planned to reintroduce an ordinance prohibiting cigarette vending machines at its Jan. 1 reorganization meeting.

A public hearing on the ordinance will be held at the Jan. 16 meeting.

The ordinance was introduced and scheduled for adoption Dec. 19, but offi­cials decided to study a portion of the ordinance further that pertains to a ban on self-service cigarette displays.

Because the committee cannot table and carry ordinances from one year to the next for adoption, it had to reintroduce the ordinance.

Besides banning cigarette vending machines and self-service cigarette dis­plays anywhere in the township, the origi­nal ordinance also prohibited the sale of cigarette rolling papers to minors.

The ordinance was patterned after ordinances adopted in Middletown and Pine Beach in Ocean county.

January deadline is set for school cost

BY EILEEN KOUTNIK

Staff W r i t e r

HOLMDEL — The Ad Hoc Advisory Committee on School Growth has set a Jan. 25 deadline to determine a cost figure for a referendum school officials hope to put to voters in May.

The committee earlier had set a March 6 deadline to com e up with a do llar amount. The new deadline was unani­mously approved during the committee’s meeting last Thursday.

The first referendum, for $39.9 mil­lion, was defeated by voters in October.

Co-chairmen Dr. David Chai said it was important for each member to come up with his or her own figure so the com­mittee had a range of figures to discuss.

He also said the public would be al­lowed to come up with figures they could present at the next meeting, but their cost estimates would be kept separate from the committee’s.

Many committee members agreed it was crucial to have cost input from the public since they would be the ones voting in the May referendum.

Co-chairmen David Cohen said he has already spoken with six people in the township to get their idea of a cost and all six had come up with similar estimates. He would not disclose the names of the people he talked to.

In other business, the demographic subcommittee told committee members that the future enrollment of the schools from 1995-2001 would be approximately 600 new students.

The subcom m ittee determ ined the enrollment projections from data prepared by the township planner, Mike Bolan, and Board o f Education dem ographer Emanuel Averbach.

Cohen said now that there is an es­timated number of students for future en­rollment, “we can take pencil to paper” and determine the number of rooms need­ed.

Residents at the meeting expressed concern that demographic projections do not include special education students.

Facilities subcommittee member June Mahon said the facilities committee is aware of the special education students and they would be taken into account when determining the number of class­rooms needed.

Also during the meeting, the commit­tee established a public relations sub­committee to write press releases and keep the public updated on the commit­tee’s progress.

In addition, the committee established three dates in January for its members to tour the schools, talk with each principal, and see for themselves what each school needs.

Few changes seen for reorganization

BY LAUREN JAEGER

S t a f f W r i t e r

KEYPORT — The reorganization meeting held Jan. 1 was expected to go smoothly, with few changes in store for 1996, said Mayor Kevin Graham last week.

Borough Council incumbents Wade Pedersen and Daniel Nicholl, who won re­election in November, were expected to be sworn in, keeping the council a Democratic majority 5-2.

However, Graham was going to rec­ommend that Councilman Joe Wedick be in charge of the police committee, and David Hammond, who formerly was in charge of police, to be head of the parks, welfare and recreation departments.

Graham said this year Chief Howard Ruth was going to retire, and Wedick’s excellent judgment would help find a new replacement.

Also, John Kriskowski, of Schoor and DePalma, would be the borough engineer. He replaces Stewart Alexander.

“Stewart is staying with Schoor and DePalma but he’s been very busy and he is a principle in the firm,” Graham explained. “John’s been to many meetings and I’m satisfied with his performance. It will be a three-year appointment.”

On the Keyport Planning Board, Raymond Lee will be appointed, replacing Wilbur Hansen, who resigned earlier this year. Lee was formerly the ch ief of Keyport police.

“Ray is a long-time member of the bor­ough. I know him to be a pretty honest individual. He will do a fine job,” Graham said.

Barbara Woodhouse will be appointed to the Keyport Board of Health, replacing James Groome.

Rob Site will replace Lou Tomasiello on the Keyport Environm ental Commission.

‘We are very happy with Lou, but he has been extremely busy with work,” Graham said. Site, the mayor noted, for­merly served on the Hazlet Environmental Commission.

Joseph Pinto will be a new zoning board member, replacing Mark Thalheimer. The new alternate zoning board member is Roger Goedtel, who serves on the bor­ough’s historical commission.

Jennifer Henning will be named to the recycling com m ittee, replacing Mike Germek.

“She is also on the environmental com­mission,” the mayor said. “It was a logical choice.”

A nniversary fo r d o ll c lub

KEYPORT — “The Once Upon a Time Bayshore Doll Collector’s Club” celebrated its 10th anniversary Dec. 27 with a catered holiday bash at the founder’s doll-filled estate.

The club was founded by Tex Hostrup of Keyport as a way to bring learning and socialization to area doll collectors in a cozy atmosphere.

Today, there are 11 members, all from surrounding m unicipalities, meeting monthly in Keyport to absorb as much doll knowledge as possible.

The club is a chapter of the international United Federation of Doll Collectors.

W hile dolls date back into ancient times, doll collectors did not emerge until the 20th century.

Margaret Goodwin, who lives in the Cliffwood Beach section of Aberdeen Township, currently serves as the president of the local club.

The latest holiday bash began around 8 p.m. and lasted until midnight, as members drank rum and talked about antique and collectible dolls.

Community center is a success story

BY MARILYN DUFF

S t a f f W r i t e r

HAZLET — The Jam es J. Cullen Community Center, which is nearing its first anniversary, has proven to be a real success story, according to recreation offi­cials and the president of the local senior citizens club.

“Everything’s gone well — very, very smoothly,” Mary DeAngelo, chairwoman of the Hazlet Recreation Commission, said during a December visit to the center.

The commission had to learn a lot dur­ing the first year about what the public wanted, but there were no surprises, except that the center has been busier than expected, she said.

As an example, she said a December holiday tree and menorah lighting cere­mony drew over 100 people.

Steve Grossm an, com m ission vice chairm an, said every th ing is “going great,” and that the commission is fully using the building and offering a lot more programs than before.

The modern one-story building, which stands at the Union Avenue entrance to Veterans Park, was dedicated Feb. 21, cul­minating a lengthy planning and design phase, plus several years of debate over what type of facility to build.

The m illion-dollar structure, which received a Monmouth County Planning Board award for design earlier this year, was partially funded with a $250,000 donation from the Hazlet Price Club and N ational A m usem ents Inc., and a $147,000 Community Development Block Grant for a senior center

The building, which shares the 80-acre Veterans Park with the Hazlet Swim and Tennis Club, has a large central meeting room which can be divided into four smaller rooms.

It also has a dedicated senior citizen area, with a commercial-style kitchen, and houses recreation offices and the town­ship-run Playtime Nursery School. The nursery school has been in existence for many years and has a current enrollment

room, said Bickler. The club meets from 1-3:30 p.m. every other Wednesday.

Before the center opened, the club had a much smaller membership and met at the Hazlet Firehouse.

“We encourage people to come up anytime,” said Bickler. He said about 10 to 30 people use the facility other days, to play cards or do crafts.

The club is trying to think of ways to use the large senior kitchen and is still in need of commercial-sized pots and pans, Bickler said. The center has a second smaller kitchen.

The club also tries to schedule a trip every other month. In October, it spon­sored a seven-day trip to Myrtle Beach and this month will go to Atlantic City.

The trips are open to all seniors, whether or not they are club members. Upcoming club events are listed on a bul­letin board in the seniors’ section of the Cullen Center.

To accommodate the increased number of visitors to the center, the township added 32 new parking spaces and to free up additional spaces, staff members now use a separate parking area.

of about 120.“We are booked every night here,”

said Barbara Ronchetti, recreation pro­gram coordinator, who schedules center activities and issues permits.

Besides being used for a number of township-sponsored activities, the build­ing is available to outside organizations.

Fifty or so groups, such as local Scout troops, the Hazlet Stamp Club and Rain Forest R elief use the building, said Ronchetti. There is no fee and the only requirement is that the group be township- based.

“Scheduling is a big job,” Ronchetti said.

The major new programs include Fri­day night teen and youth nights, which are co-sponsored with the township drug alliance.

Youth Night, which is for middle- school students, is held the fourth Friday of each month, and Teen Night, which is for high school students, the third Friday of each month.

The Youth Nights attract over 100 young people, and Teen Nights, about 60 to 70, with more expected, said Ronchetti.

Carmine Errico, a local disc jockey, volunteers his time, plus students can socialize, play pool, ping-pong or other games.

Other new offerings include line danc­ing and floral arranging classes, plus Mommy & Me and Me Without Mommy programs, the first for 2-year-olds accom­panied by a parent, and the second for 3- year-olds. The commission also wants to offer quilting classes, said Ronchetti.

“The only problem we, as seniors, have is it’s not big enough to accommo­date all the seniors,” said Bill Bickler, president of the Hazlet Township Senior Citizens Club.

Since the center opened, the club’s membership ranks have swelled to 326, with a waiting list of about 130-140, said Bickler.

All seniors are welcome to use the facility, but the club membership has to be limited because of the 232-person seating capacity in the Cullen Center meeting

At Monday’s reorganization meeting, former Deputy Mayor Ron Walsh was slated to be sworn in as mayor, while for­mer M ayor M ary Jane W iley was to become deputy mayor.

Both are members of the 3-2 Repub­lican majority.

Ron WalshAfter about eight years of being shut

out, the Democrats won an upset victory in November, when their candidates, Peter Doyle and E. Christopher Leonessa, oust­ed Republican incumbents Marilyn Colas and Don Malloy.

Democratic Congressman Frank Pal­lone, whose 6th District includes Hazlet, will be presen t at M onday’s reo r­ganization meeting to swear in Doyle and Leonessa.

Walsh, 39, is in his sixth year on the committee. His second three-year term expires at the end of this year. He served as deputy mayor in 1994 and for the sec­ond half of 1995.

A customer service supervisor with Public Service Electric & Gas Co., Walsh said his biggest challenge this year will be the 1996 municipal budget.

“That’s the biggest thing I’m worried about,” he said, because of rumors about cutbacks in state aid to municipalities.

Besides tackling the budget, he plans to continue the to w n sh ip ’s road im ­provement program and wants to address needed im provem ents at some of the township parks.

Walsh knew a couple weeks ago that he would be the next mayor, so he said he took advantage of the opportunity to open up communication lines with the president of the local police union.

He and Wiley ironed out the final de­tails of a three-year 1995-97 contract with Patrolman Art Lynch, the president of the H azlet P o licem an’s B enevolent Association Local No. 189.

With that behind him, he hopes that, unlike last year, the PBA and committee can have a harmonious year.

Wiley, who stepped in as mayor last July after Committeeman John Bradshaw relinqu ished the position , said she “enjoyed it very much,” but personal re­sponsibilities preclude her from continu­ing.

“Hopefully, we’ll all work together,” Walsh said of the committee’s new bi­partisan makeup, adding the “Township Committee is no place for anyone’s per­sonal agenda.”

Walsh said he was happy to serve as mayor. During his first term he did not have the time because of job responsi­bilities, he said.

Walsh and his wife, Edna, have three sons. The youngest is in third grade at Raritan Valley School; the next oldest is a sophomore at Raritan High School and the o ldest a ttends the U niversity of Pennsylvania.

H igh sch oo l a lu m n i sough tABERDEEN — The leader of the

newly formed alumni association wants to hear from all graduates of the Matawan- Aberdeen Regional School District.

Fran Adler, who graduated from the old Matawan High School in 1961 and has been teaching in the district for 30 years, is now reaching out to other past gradu­ates.

Since the alumni association is in its very beginning stages, Adler is not sure what direction it will take, or what pur­pose it will fill.

But she is seeking M atawan High School graduates and Matawan Regional High School graduates from all years.

Adler noted that she had scheduled a

meeting with a publishing company that claims it will publish the names of all past graduates in a future volume.

The book will list the current addresses of the former students, so that one would be able to look up an old school friend or high school sweetheart.

“It doesn’t seem to be that difficult now (to find past graduates) that I’ve con­tacted the publishing company,” she said. “They’re doing all the work. They list deceased members and living members.”

The volume will be arranged alpha­betically, geographically, and by class years, she said. It will probably be ready by 1997, she said.

S em inar fo r officials sla tedOn Saturday, all newly elected, local

officials in Monmouth County will have an opportunity to discover exactly what they have gotten themselves into by win­ning election to a seat on their local gov­erning bodies.

That is the date when the Board of Chosen Freeholders will hold a day-long seminar at Brookdale Community College in Lincroft to give the fledgling office holders an overview of the intricacies of government in New Jersey.

Freeholder Theodore J. Narozanick, the organizer of the seminar since its inception in 1988, notes that the seminar is also open to incumbent office holders who wish to take a “refresher course” on government.

The 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. seminar will include sessions dealing with the state

Department of Community Affairs; legal issues, such as the Open Public Meetings Law, sexual harassment and ethics ordi­nances; the financing of capital projects using the assistance of the Monmouth County Improvement Authority; coopera­tive purchasing programs; the preparation of municipal budgets; and a brief discus­sion on the township, borough and other forms of local governments.

The seminar is free to the participants and their respective communities.

The presenters, all of whom are noted experts in their fields, donate their time. More than 30 participants are expected to attend.

Narozanick said that any elected offi­cial desiring to attend the seminar is asked to call his office at (908) 431-7918.

M atawan Rotary m em ber Dr. Joe Green, a local podiatrist and team leader for the excursion, was accompanied by four volunteers: Elizabeth Brewer, a cater­er from Middletown; David Epstein, a pipe fitter and plumber from Eatontown; Lauren Jaeger, a newspaper reporter from Holmdel; and Linda Reed, a business ow ner from Colum bus, B urlington County.

The team will spend one month on an all-expenses paid journey to different parts of India.

Except for the team leader, the four exchange group members chosen for the trip were not Rotarians, nor did they have family members in Rotary. The volunteers had to be employed at the same place for two years, be considered exceptional in their profession, and have a job in place when they returned.

The group is being sponsored by Ro­tary District 7500, which covers M on­mouth, Ocean, and Burlington counties.

As part of the Group Study Exchange, District 7500 is paired with District 3 170 in India. Through the paired Rotary dis­tricts, both will send and receive teams for a four- to six-week study tour.

Last May, Rotary District 7500 along with District 3 170 sponsored a team from India for a month-long stay in New Jersey.

During their stay in India, the team will live with host families.

“The team has to keep a daily log of what has been accom plished,” Green explained. “They have to report back to Rotary International, and present a daily journal.”

The team had plenty of preparation before boarding the plane on Dec. 31.

Since October, when the volunteers were chosen, the group has met eight times to discuss and prepare for the jour­ney.

Each m ember put together a five- minute slide presentation depicting dif­ferent aspects of American culture. The group will be showing the presentations to a group of more than 3,000 Rotary mem­bers.

Green will give a presentation about

A PASSAGE TO INDIA — Volunteers (l-r) Elizabeth Brewer, Lauren Jaeger, David Epstein and team leader Dr. Joseph Green prepare for their month-long stay in India. The group w ill be representing Rotary District 7500 on a good w ill m ission to the State of Goa, India.

The purpose of the slides is for India to get a sense about America and the people representing District 7500.

“The purpose of the exchange is to advance peace, good will and education,” said Richard Ritchie, District 7500 gover­nor.

He told the volunteers during their last meeting to remember they were acting as ambassadors for America, hopefully dis­pelling stereotypes about the U.S. the Indians have learned from newspapers, radio and television.

Before their departure, the group had to receive a series of vaccinations for typhoid, polio, diphtheria and hepatitis type A.

Jaeger said the cost for the vaccina­tions was the responsibility of each per­son. However, the travelers saved $400 a piece on vaccinations because Bayshore

Com m unity H ealthcare Services, Holmdel, vaccinated each team member for free.

Each member of the group has per­sonal reasons for participating in the jour­ney.

Green said he always wanted to go to a country where there were many Rotary Clubs, as well as a place with a lot of cul­ture that is different from the UnitedStates.

Brewer’s interest in India goes back to her childhood.

She said when she was a child, she learned a lot about the country from an Indian exchange student who stayed with her family while attending a nearby col­lege.

Epstein, a world traveler, looked at the trip as a way to see a country he always wanted to visit.

“I’ve traveled all over the world and I have always wanted to go to India. This was a great opportunity to see the coun­try,” Epstein said.

Jaeger said, “It’s a wonderful oppor­tunity and who knows where I’ll be next

year?”Reed, the ow ner o f Reed Bros.

Equipment in Columbus, said her reason for going is to show Indian women how American women can be entrepreneurs and succeed in business.

The team will be visiting the Indian state of Goa, which, according to a para­graph written by the Indian Rotary Club, is bordered by the Arabian Sea to the west and mountains and forests to the east.

The team will be learning a great deal about Indian culture and lifestyle. Each member will spend five days with some­one in the same profession and vocation, to exchange ideas.

“We are very excited about the trip, since it will be the first exchange program since the d istric t went under reo r­ganization last year,” Green said.

Green thanked team members at the final meeting by saying how “lucky he was to get a very dedicated and reliable group.”

The team will be returning from India the first week in February.

KEYPORT — Borough officials are thrilled with their newly purchased Hydrostop, which is a device used to repair water main breaks or replace fire hydrants.

The device, which cost $34,000, will save time and money in the long run, according to Keyport Councilman Wade Pedersen, in charge of public works.

Mayor Kevin Graham said at the Dec. 21 Borough Council m eeting that he watched the half-hour video tape which showed the Hydrostop in action and was pleased by the purchase.

Pedersen said that Art Rooke, super­intendent of public works, had asked for the

Hydrostop since 1987. It wasn’t until this year, however, that the council decided to invest in the machine.

“It cuts a hole through the water main and shuts the water off. We bought it with a supply of bands,” Pedersen said.

“Previously, with a water main break, you would open from two to three hydrants to stop the water pressure (and only then could the break be repaired.) It worked, but you lost thousands of gallons of water in the process,” Pedersen said.

Graham said that he would like to circu­late the video of the Hydrostop in action to the residents on New Years Eve, to add to the holiday excitement. At press time, it could not be confirmed whether residents took advantage of the mayor’s offer.

However, Pedersen said he would not borrow the video from Graham.

“I saw it one year ago,” he said.—Lauren Jaeger

AT&T aw ards $1,000 g ra n t

ABERDEEN — W illiam Vogler, a teacher at the Matawan Avenue Middle School in the Cliffwood section of the township, just received a $1,000 grant from AT&T for his innovative use of technology in teaching.

Vogler’s interdisciplinary unit at the Matawan Avenue Middle School combines the English class and television studio to excite students about creative writing through the production and filming of a puppet show. Students deal with such issues as smoking, nutrition, drug and alco­hol abuse, friendship, diversity and peer pressure.

AT&T’s Technology in the Classroom program provided $100,000 in educational support to bring “classrooms of the 21st century” to New Jersey. The program rec­ognized 100 public school teachers who used innovative technologies to make learning subjects such as history and music more interesting to students.

PBA pay raiseContinued from page 1

to comment further until the Township Committee ratifies the contract.

The committee planned to introduce a salary ordinance at its New Year’s Day reorganization meeting, subject to adoption Jan. 16, Municipal Administrator Margaret Margiotta said Friday. The committee also will ratify the contract Jan. 16, Margiotta said.

The two sides reached a tentative agree­ment on Dec. 5, in a second meeting with state m ediator W illiam W einberg. Weinberg is a retired educator.

The PBA voted Dec. 7 in favor of the tentative agreement and Lynch and town­ship officials worked out details.

The previous PBA contract expired at the end of 1994. After several unsuccessful attempts to work out an agreement, the PBA filed for mediation in May. The first mediation meeting was held Nov. 21.

A previous sticking point had a been a PBA request for a new four days on-four days off schedule, but Wiley said that did not come up during mediation.

Organic foods growing in popularityBy the Associated Press

D espite a significantly higher cost, organic foods have become a growth industry in

Illinois — both in the supermarkets and back on the farm.

Organic foods, especially fruits and vegetables, appear to be losing their “health food store” image and going mainstream.

Since 1990, two national grocery chains devoted to selling organics have opened stores in the Chicago area. Whole Foods and Fresh Fields now have six stores in the region and are planning more.

In addition, two mainstream super­market chains, Jewel and Dominick’s, have established organic produce sec­tions, and report that sales in those sec­tions are better than expected. In some Dominick’s stores, organics now account for 5 percent of all produce sold.

That’s good news for Dave Campbell, 40, who has been farming organically on his family’s 200-acre spread west of St. Charles since 1988.In abandoning the use of chemical pes­ticides and synthetic fertilizers,Campbell has essentially returned to the methods used by his ancestors when they homesteaded the farm in 1834.

Campbell uses modern equipment like tractors and combines, but he uses only natural fertilizers and naturally occurring nutrients like high-calcium lime to enhance his soil. To keep fertili­ty levels high, he rotates crops fre­quently to restore trace elements in the soil, and he employs local boys to pull weeds, rather than relying on chemical herbicides.

The process requires more manual labor, so Campbell has to charge more for his soybeans and oats than his neighbors do, but there are an increas­ing number of people who are willing to pay the price.

Campbell and other organic farmers contend there are hidden costs to con­ventional farming, including potential health risks from chemicals and the soil erosion caused by letting fields lie fal­low all winter.

Organic farmers cover their fields with alfalfa or other rotation crops, reducing soil runoff during the winter.

A survey of produce prices taken last week by the Chicago Sun-Times indicated organic vegetables at a Fresh Fields store in Evanston cost 63 percent more than their conventionally grown counterparts at a Dominick’s in the same Chicago suburb.

But Carolyn Holtermann of Wilmette, who shops at Fresh Fields, said the prices of organic produce have actually been dropping lately, and she’s willing to pay the price anyway.

Many health experts, though, say there is no proof that organic fruits and vegetables are even marginally safer than conventionally grown produce.

Many sellers of organic foods no longer contend their products are safer or more nutritious - only different.

R aises, n ew b en e fits m ake p o lic e sp e c ia lI n these times o f downsizing

and declining incomes, few workers expect, or receive,

large wage increases and expen­sive new benefits packages. That is, unless one works as a police officer.

Take Hazlet, for example. A contract agreed to last month by the Township o f Hazlet and the Hazlet PBA gives 14 percent raises to police officers over a three-year period. In addition, the town agreed to pay — for the first time — medical benefits to retirees and their spouses until they reach the age o f 65.

The accord means that starting salaries for a police academy graduate in January 1997 will be $33,553. After a mere four years o f service, the officer’s base salary w ill leap to $53,769. Very few industries pay workers those types of salaries.

Not only are the salaries generous, the benefits in the package are better than virtually any industry package. Current officers are entitled to pay for ev­ery unused sick day throughout their career. This would be very generous if the reimbursement were paid at the rate it was earned. But officers are paid for the unused sick time at the rate they are earning when they retire. So a first-year officer not using a sick day at the 1994 first-year salary o f $38,062-per-annum, will eventually be reimbursed for those days at the rate he or she is earning 20 or 30 years from now.

The contract agreement will reduce unused sick-time reimbursement o f officers hired

in the future from 100 percent to 50 percent. This is a step in the right direction, but it still does not go far enough. And the agree­ment to pay health benefits to retirees clearly takes the town down the wrong path.

Now, it would be easy to criti­cize the township o f Hazlet for agreeing to a contract with exor­bitant salary increases and new benefits. But the problem runs much deeper.

Municipal officials throughout New Jersey have complained for years about the skyrocketing costs o f police salaries, thanks to the state’s system of binding arbi­tration for police salary disputes. All police unions must do to win arbitrations is to point out that officers in neighboring towns re­ceived similar raises. It’s a sys­tem that perpetuates itself.

The losers in the system are property taxpayers and the beneficiaries o f other services provided by towns.

Look at it this way. When police expenditures increase by 5 percent, officials have two choic­es: To either increase the tax rate by 5 percent, or to cut other ser­vices.

As residents get squeezed more and more in their personal finances, they pressure local offi­cials to keep property tax in­creases to a minimum.

Clearly, in many cases, mu­nicipal officials opt to keep tax rates stable and to cut money from other areas. That means that police salaries w ill continue to eat up a greater portion o f munic­ipal budgets.

KEYPORT BUILDING ATTRACTS BUSINESS — Robert Genco, president of Score One, a Woodbridge-based computer consulting firm , wants his business to relocate to Keyport’s Walling Hall, a West Front Street build­ing shown here in a 19th-century photograph.

Incentive sought to restore Walling Hall

BY LAUREN JA EG ER

S t a f f W r i t e r

KEYPORT — An admirer of a vintage building on West Front Street said he’d like to purchase the property and spend $1 million on improvements to make the building stand out.

However, to make this investment pos­sible, the borough would have to guaran­tee they would not reassess the building’s value, so that the taxes would remain at their current level, he said.

The building, Walling Hall, a three- story brick structure built in 1878, stands at the corner of Broad and West Front streets. It has been up for sale since 1990, the year it was purchased with a few other buildings as a package deal by Mark and Marty Gale of Gale’s Hardware on West Front Street.

Marty Gale said last week he did not know what the asking price of the build­ing is and that his cousin, Mark, who had the information, was away on vacation.

According to the Keyport tax office, Walling Hall and the land has an assessed value of $155,500. This year, the total tax rate in Keyport is $2.75 per $100 assessed valuation. That would make the property’s tax burden $4,284 per year.

The trad e-o ff request, made by Holmdel resident Robert Genco, was dis­cussed at the Dec. 21 Borough Council m eeting. Borough A ttorney Gordon Litwin said he would look into the matter.

In a follow-up phone call, Genco said if the trade-off is agreed upon, he would move his Woodbridge-based computer consulting firm, Square One, into the building.

He said all of Keyport would benefit by the improvement. The restored build­ing would enhance the borough and may entice other big businesses to relocate there, he said.

However, Genco’s firm first wants a “yes” to its request from the borough, and then Square One would negotiate a price with the owners of the three-story build­ing.

“We are not in the negotiating stage yet and we don’t have a firm offer,” he said. “We are putting together a package.”

Genco, m eanw hile, is keeping his

hopes up because he would like to relo­cate the firm in a homey, downtown at­mosphere.

“Woodbridge is impersonal but Key­port has a nice feeling,” he said. “It will be something different.”

Genco said he would commission the p restig ious arch itectu ral firm , Ford Farewell, Mills and Gatsch, of Princeton, to design all of the enhancement work. The Princeton firm specializes in histori­cal restorations.

Although this tax incentive has not been tried in Keyport, other locales have made it work to their advantage.

According to an article in the Dec. 17 New York Times, New York City Mayor Rudolph Guiliano recently introduced a tax incentive for businesses to purchase, restore and relocate within formerly run­down properties.

Industrial properties in New York City are now eligible for a 16-year exemption from 100 percent of the taxes that result from the rise of the property value, the article states.

In the book, Keyport (1995, Arcadia Publishing) by Tim Regan, Genco points to photos on page 37, which reveal Walling Hall in its former glory, back in 1889 when it was a theater and dry goods store.

He said he would like to bring back the Gothic windows and fancy woodwork surrounding the storefront, as revealed by the old photographs.

Later in the book, on page 79, a pho­tograph of the building as it appeared in 1951 showed trimmings stripped away and the long, narrow windows bricked up.

Gale, the current owner, feels the building does not need much restoration.

“Part of the building has been restored, such as the replaced roof and new win­dows.” He said that all asbestos and bad plaster, which filled 32 containers, was discarded several years ago. Today, it would take about $30,000 to gut the build­ing and discard the materials, he said.

In addition, the removal of the wall material revealed beautiful brick walls underneath, he said. He said that all that needs to be done to make the building functional would be to reconnect the up­stairs bathrooms to water and sewer lines.

He buys for the love of OzDoctor collects memorabilia from movieBY ANDREA ROSENCARTEN

C o r re sp o nd en t

H e lives in Howell, not Em erald City, and his walkway is paved with

concrete, not yellow brick. But w alk ing in to his hom e, you might think you have stepped into the wonderful world of Oz.

Dr. Hal Omstein is an avid collector of Wizard o f Oz mem­orab ilia . O rnste in , his w ife, Anna, and their 5-m onth-old son, Tyler, share their family room with Wizard o f Oz plates, plaques, m asks, cards, music boxes, cookie jars and posters.

Omstein said his interest in W izard o f Oz m em o rab ilia began five years ago when he received a Wizard o f Oz co l­lectible plate as a gift.

“ I ’ve a lw ays loved the movie,” he said. “When I got the plate, I became very inter­ested. So I began getting col­lectible catalogs and it went from there. My wife shares my fascination.”

When not checking catalogs for Oz collectibles, Omstein is a podiatrist who practices in H o w ell and M ills to n e Township.

H is p a tien ts are all too familiar with their doctor’s fas­cination, as they share a wait­ing room w ith D orothy and friends collectibles.

“M any o f my patients are Wizard o f Oz collectors, too. One gave me a license plate tha t read ‘O Z F A N ,’ ” said Omstein.

But Omstein and his patients are not alone in their interest.

“All kinds o f co llec tib les have become very popular,” he said, adding that there are more than 50,000 Wizard o f Oz col­

lectors in the country.Ornstein purchases his col­

lectibles through catalogs, at auctions and at events and fes­tivals. At one such festival last year, the Annual Wizard of Oz Festival in C hesterton , Ind., O rn s te in m et 10 o f the M unchkins who appeared in the film.

And after their initial intro­duction, ever the podiatrist, “I ex am in ed th e ir f e e t ,” said Omstein.

Omstein enjoys all his col­

lectibles, but his favorite piece is one he purchased at an auc­tion.

“I have the o rig in a l Cowardly Lion’s tail in my col­lection,” he said.

Ornstein’s enthusiasm goes beyond the physical collecting o f Oz m em o rab ilia . He has researched and can recite many bits of Oz trivia — “Did you know the original Tin Man was allergic to the movie makeup and had to be replaced?” But his enjoyment goes deeper.

“The Wizard o f Oz gives a wonderful message,” Ornstein no ted . “ It is about good vs. evil. It is about people helping each other. The friendship, the bond th a t D oro thy and the Scarecrow had was an amazing thing. It teaches people that if you have a common goal and work together, you can achieve anything.”

Omstein’s favorite character, the one with whom he identi­fies, is the Scarecrow.

E xplained O rnste in , “The

(Photo by Jackie Pollack)

Scarecrow supposedly d idn’t have a brain, yet he was always the one making the decisions. He was the w arm est, the friendliest. He led people along the path. He made disbelievers believers.”

A nd in the sp ir it o f the Cowardly Lion, “I do believe, I do, I do believe.”

For in fo rm a tio n abou t Wizard o f Oz auctions, clubs, festivals or mail-order catalogs, call Omstein at (908) 905-1110 or (908) 905-7885.

A man nam ed S kully o f Port Monmouth went to the house of Amos Mitchell at Belford on Friday night while he was drunk. While in the house, Skully becam e quarrelsom e. He w rapped a h an d k erch ief around his hand and smashed several panes of glass. He was put out of the house and repeated the attack of smashing the windows from the outside.

A picture frame slipped from the hand of Mrs. Omar Sickles of Navesink one day last week and struck her little daughter on the head. A nail in the frame cut a gash in the child’s head.

A lighted lam p in the window of S te n ze l’s b a rb er shop at A tlan tic H ighlands fell from its fastening on Thursday night. It set fire to some things in the window but the damage was slight.

A horse driven by James Slocum of M iddletown became unmanageable in front of the hotel at that place and ran away. Mr. Slocum was thrown out of the buggy and his head struck on the foot­step. He was rendered insensible.

Holmes Conover of Holmdel drove to Red Bank and put a horse under the sheds of Hendrickson’s Stables. While the horse was under the sheds, a Galway robe worth $16 was stolen from the wagon. A few days ago, it was learned that Samuel Miller of Atlantic Highlands had been seen with a similar robe.

William Heyer, who works Telegraph Hill Farm in Holmdel Township, is laid up with a sore toe.

M rs . T h e ro n M cC am p b e ll ofHolmdel was out in her automobile dis­tributing Christmas gifts several days last week. Many children and every needy family in this district received presents from Mrs. McCampbell.

William Kelly of Everett is expected home in a few days from the Long Branch hospital, where he is under treat­ment for a broken leg caused by a fall from a horse he was riding.

SO Y E A R S A G O

E lm er J . W ilson, 50, and his wife, Jessie, 48, of Compton Street, Belford, died New Years Day in a tragic accident at Staten Island. The couple were in their automobile, boarding a ferryboat, when

FAX news and

the boat slipped from the dock, plunging the car into the freezing waters of New York bay, and carrying the occupants to their death. The deceased were on their way to make a holiday visit with their son, Elmer C. Wilson, who is stationed at the 42nd Street armory in Brooklyn. The trapped victims were reported to have been in the 19th car to go over the ramp to the ferry.

The Wilsons were well-known in this section of the county. Mr. Wilson was an ac tive m em ber of the B elford Civic Association. Mrs. Wilson was for several years em ployed by the law firm of

Applegate, Stevens, Foster and Reussille of Red Bank.

Mrs. H arriet C. Estelle of Broad S treet, Red Bank, a teacher at the Leonardo Grammar School, literally took the shirt off the back of John Reed King at his radio show, “Give and Take” on WABC Saturday morning. Mrs. Estelle was to give a description of the red and blue plaid wool sport shirt he was wear­ing. Her descrip tion was accura te , including a mention that she would not mind owning one like it. Taking the shirt off, Mr. King told her that if it fit, she

could take it. It fit, so he went shirtless for the remainder of the program.

The com m ittee and o ffic ia ls ofM iddletow n tow nship were hosts to m ore than 100 lead ing c itizen s of Monmouth County last Thursday after­noon at M urp h y ’s T avern , East Keansburg. The speaker, Judge Thomas Brown of Locust, stressed the exercise of wisdom which leads to good government and said that “Hate is a moth-eaten, rot­ten emotion.”

SportsHuskies have high hopes for season

BY R IC H A RD JERO M E

Staf f W r i t e r

B oasting a fair bit of height and experience, the Matawan High School boys basketball team

appears primed to improve on — or at least match — last season’s 15-7 mark. Coach Jack George’s Huskies were 3-1 going into Friday n ig h t’s Bayshore Holiday Tournam ent finale against Holmdel — an event Matawan has won two years running. It’s a fine start but George, who has a 135-125 career record in his 13th year at the helm is far from complacent.

“We have some older kids and some younger kids, and we have a lot of work ahead of us,” he said.“We haven’t jelled.”

The same cannot be said of Dax Pearson, w ithout question the co rnerstone o f the team.

A 6-6 sen ior fo r­ward, he is averaging

' 25 poin ts per game (w ith a high of 37 against W all) and 12 rebounds a contest, up from excellent numbers — 20 points and 10 rebounds per contest — of last winter.

Pearson is one of three returning starters, including guard Duane Jackson and forward Shannon Baker, both of whom are 6-3 seniors.

Jackson doesn’t score much — just four points per game last season.

But he contributes the most assists, and George calls him “one of the very best defensive players.” Similarly, Baker gen­erally scores only a few points, but is adept on defense.

“He usually plays the best scoring for­ward of the other team,” George points out.

The H uskies’ best outside scoring threat is 6-1 sophomore Jim Macomber, who is averaging 13 ppg.

Center Curtis Frederick, a junior who stands 6-5, is the second leading rebound­er on the club, edging toward double fig­

ures.That about does it for the starting five, but George has a fairly deep bench, beginning with 5-8 jun io r Chris White. “H e’s a scrappy tenacious kind of player,” George notes.Sophomore Tony Serra (6-3) spells the big men, and has so far shown

some offensive potential.Serra is averaging about four ppg. in

his limited action, but did have a high of 11 in the Wall game.

A nother sub, 6-3 senior Osmaan McLeod will return this week after having been sidelined by a freakish auto accident:

we have some older kids and some younger kids, and we have a lot of work ahead of us. We haven't jelled.'

Jack George - MHS boys basketball coach

lions feature a large cast of sophomores

BY WARREN RAPPLEYEA ____C o r r e s p o n d e n t

With only two players returning from last season’s Shore Conference Northern Division championship squad, this will be a rebuilding year for the M iddletown North High School girls bowling team, according to coach Gale Farwell,

The Lions, 0-3 after dropping their opening matches against Matawan, have six sophomores, and the 10th year mentor is planning to work them all into the line­up as the season progresses.

“I’d like to get everyone some experi­ence, so they’ll all get a chance,” Farwell said. “This is a learning year for us so we want to go out and work hard, try our best and have some fun.”

Senior Tanya Gioia, who started last winter, is the Lions top kegler and she averaged 150 aga inst M ataw an. C onsistency is G io ia’s forte and she should provide Middletown North with a dependable pin count in most matches.

a fender bender, in which his airbag slightly injured an eye.

Ashante Green, a 6-1 sophomore, is an adroit dribbler, and senior forward Marlon Banis (5-10) “has a lot of spring and is very a th le tic ,” accord ing to George.

Rounding out;t the con tingen t is sophomore Miguel Mattos (6-2), who has only seen a couple of minutes’ worth of court time thus far.

This week, the Huskies host Red Bank

(on Tuesday) and Old Bridge (a Friday match).

“We’d like to qualify for the states and the Shore Conference B North,” said G eorge, who is assisted by R ichard Valenzola and John Kaye. “But we have to play more consistently. A good start in January is a must.”

Because o f the holiday deadline, The Independent was unable to include the results o f Friday’s Bayshore Tournament finale beh\’een Holmdel and Matawan.

Sophomores M elissa M aciulewicz, who saw action a year ago, and Jenna M innuies have been doing well, and Farwell expects them to improve with each game.

The Lions also have received a boost from junior newcomer Jasmine Lin, who has displayed an accurate delivery in prac­tices and the first match.

Rounding out the Lions are four sophomores: Kelly Lomberk, Yvonne Rodriguez, Susan Lin, and Alyce Zabawa. Susan Lin and Zabawa are newcomers to the sport.

“We have a kind of family atmosphere and the girls are working well together and helping each other out,” Farwell said. “T h a t’s what I want to see because although we are competing I want to make this a positive experience for all of the girls.”

Middletown North returns to action Thursday against Mater Dei and will meet a strong St. John Vianney contingent on Monday.

PULLING IT IN — Raritan High School’s Mike Medric grabs a rebound in front of Holmdel’s Chris Venino. W hile Medric may have won the battle, the Hornets won the war in the Bayshore Holiday Tournament semifinal contest 66-58 to advance to the final against Matawan last Friday.

Mater D ei struggling in early season action

Last season, the Mater Dei boys basketball team got off to a slow start. It was­n’t long before Coach Keith Glass’s Seraphs righted the ship, however, and went on to the Class C North Shore Conference crown.

If the Seraphs are to repeat as champs, they are going to have to make a similar comeback.

On Thursday the Seraphs lost their fourth game of the season. Shore Regional topped the Seraphs 50-41 in a consolation game of the Buccaneer Classic in Red Bank.

If the Seraphs are going to get on track, senior Rob SarUifort will undoubtedly have a hand in the reversal. Glass pointed to his extensive varsity experience as one of the big pluses for the Seraphs. Also on the positive side of the ledger is the return of junior Joe Tierney, who gives the Seraphs a legitimate post player.

The two combined for half of the Seraphs’ points against the Blue Devils as Santifort hit for 11 and Tierney hit for 10.

Along with Mike Iasparro, Chris DeLaura and Matt Scaliti (all of whom gradu­ated), the Seraphs also are without the services of Danny Wallace who left school for family reasons, according to Glass.

Joining Santifort and Tierney on the floor at tip off will be Billy Muhleisen, Tim Shannon.

In a bit of a switch for the Seraphs the area they need the most help is guard.Glass noted that his team will eventually fill the role. If history means anything,

Mater Dei should be a tough team by season’s end.

I B E TI Y O UI D I D N ’ T■ K N O W| Brought to You

By Joe Labriola

With several teams in the National Football League I moving from one city to another, or threatening to

move, it recalls the strange story of the Pittsburgh I Steelers...They didn’t exactly move but in 1943 they ® merged with the Eagles and became the Steagles,■ and in 1944 they merged with the Cardinals and■ became the Card-Pitts, playing only half their home■ games at home and the other half in the merged city.

* * * *Only one team in any sport has ever AVERAGED

over 100,000 fans at each home game over a sea-■ son...That record is held by University of Michigan

football which has averaged over 100,000 per game■ for each of the last 20 years.

_ % & 3fr*\ Here’s a surprising basketball fact...Even though h the Boston Celtics have been in the NBA for many I years, and have won the championship of the league _ 16 times, the Celtics have NEVER had a player who I led the league in scoring at the end of ANY season.

■ * * *■ I bet you didn't know that this is the best time to■ save on a new car or truck at Labriola Nissan...We I also have a great selection of used cars...Come in■ and see for yourself.

661 talked a friend into buying one and he's still a friend.”When you can count among your best salespeople, people who don't even work for you, then you know you've got a pretty special thing going. Such is the case with Saturn. There are countless stories out there of Saturn owners rec­ommending cars to friends, neighbors and family members; of customers who volunteer to talk at auto shows and civic groups. Are these people nuts? No, they're all just very, very satisfied, that's all. Hope to see you soon. K &
