Not guilty verdict sparks cops’ outrage By Dan Zomack RED BANK — Wall Police Capt. Bernard Sullivan was found not guilty by Municipal Court Judge William Himelman on a charge of Driving While Intoxicated [DWI], as well as several other motor vehicle charges, in court here Monday morning. The 23-year-veteran of the Wall Police Department was pulled over just after midnight on Jan. 27 and arrested for DWI, following a near motor vehicle accident, after failing to stop for a red light on Route 35 and Sixteenth Avenue and driving on the opposing traffic lane on Belmar Boulevard, according to the arresting officer’s report. The stop, and subsequent arrest, were made by Wall Police Ptl. Todd Verrecchia. Judge Himelman, who took a 10-minute break to deliberate after the prosecution and defense had finished presenting their testimony, said it was the first time in five years that he had found an individual not guilty for DWI. Judge Himelman said the case bothered him from the start, when the trial began last Tuesday, throughout the weekend and until this Monday morning, when the trial resumed.

Sollitto jury hung on most counts Not guilty on two theft charges By Meghan Berry FREEHOLD — The case file of Ronald Sollitto and Michael Casale will now be reviewed by First Assistant Monmouth County Prosecutor Peter E. Warshaw Jr., after a jury last Friday acquitted Dr. Sollitto of two minor theft charges and was hung on all other counts. In its ninth day of deliberation, the jury deciding the fate of the two defendants said Dr. Sollitto was not guilty of two counts of theft of moveable property — money. Dr. Sollitto was accused of paying bills as power of attorney [POA] after the death of Madeleine Stockdale and for paying a gas bill for 10 Monroe Ave. from her account after the house had been sold to Dr. Sollitto.

Almost three-year old DWI case still pending By Brian O’Keefe S P R I N G L A K E HEIGHTS — A man who was arrested in the borough nearly three years ago for Driving While Intoxicated has yet to face a judge on the charge, in a case that his former defense attorney said has “obliterated” the 60-day state guideline for resolving DWI court cases. On Aug. 21, 2004, Ptl. Andrew O’Neill of the Spring Lake Heights Police Department arrested Metuchen resident Joseph P. Buttafuoco, now 77, after he was involved in an 11 p.m. accident with another vehicle at the corner of Route 71 and Ludlow Avenue. The accident was apparently a minor one, and police and court documents indicate no unusual complicating factors in the arrest. According to Ptl. O’Neill’s arrest report, Mr. Buttafuoco said he had one martini at The Breakers earlier that night. Breathalyzer readings indicated a Blood Alcohol Content of 0.10 percent and 0.09 percent, just above the legal threshold of 0.08 percent. Mr. Buttafuoco has pleaded not guilty to the charges, which also included reckless driving and driving an uninsured vehicle. The arrest report states Mr. Buttafuoco handed the same expired insurance card back to Ptl. O’Neill six times, asking the officer each time if it was valid. But in the two years and eight months since his arrest, the case has still not been heard in court, as the trial has

been delayed, transferred to Brick T o w n s h i p Municipal Court, and then postponed numerous times. If the case had been tried within 60 days and Mr. Buttafuoco had been convicted, the standard three-month license suspension would have ended more than two years ago. The New Jersey sentencing guidelines for first-time DWI offenders with a blood alcohol level between 0.08 and 0.10 percent includes a license suspension period of three months. Mr. Buttafuoco does not have any prior offenses, according to his former attorney, Mitchell Ansell. Mr. Buttafuoco, an insurance defense attorney, is also a major political campaign donor who has personally contributed nearly $250,000 to Democrats in New Jersey over the past two decades, at the county, state and federal levels, according to data from the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission and the Center for Responsive Politics in Washington, D.C. “This should have been heard over two years ago,” Spring Lake Heights Police Chief Mark Steets said of the case last week. The chief said that in his many years of law enforcement experience, he has seen occasional lapses in meeting the 60-day guideline. “But not this long,”

The new Avon Board of Commissioners, Robert McGovern [from left], Frank Gorman and new Mayor Robert Mahon recited the oaths of office, administered by Municipal Judge Al D’Auria, during the swearing-in ceremony at the municipal building on Tuesday.

Avon swears in new boro commissioners By Nick Malfitano AVON-BY-THE-SEA — At noon on Tuesday, the Borough of Avon-by-the-Sea officially swore in and welcomed its new board of commissioners. The three-member board is made up of Robert Mahon, who was the only incumbent to seek re-election this year, and newcomers Frank Gorman and Robert McGovern. Borough Administrator Tim Gallagher read the results from the May 8 municipal election, which showed that Mr. Mahon received 450 votes, Mr. McGovern garnered 417 votes, Mr. Gorman collected 374 votes, and defeated challenger Russell Hinman got 281 votes. Municipal Judge Al D’Auria administered the oath of office to all three commissioners. Mr. Gallagher then read resolutions which assigned each commis-

sioner to a separate committee. Commissioner McGovern was appointed the director of public works, parks and public property. Commissioner Gorman was appointed the director of public affairs and safety, and Commissioner Mahon was re-appointed to his post as director of the department of revenue and finance. In addition, Commissioner Mahon was chosen to be the new mayor of Avon by Commissioners Gorman and McGovern. “I’d like to extend my appreciation to the residents and voters of Avon for their support in the last election. I’d also like to express my appreciation for my fellow commissioners for the confidence that they have expressed in me in making me the mayor during our administration,” said Mayor Mahon.

“Avon’s a great town, and I know you have the same feeling. For all of us, it’s the ideal place to live, though there are many things that need to be addressed,” the mayor continued. “And that’s the challenge that awaits the three of us as we start the next four years in our administration.” Commissioner McGovern also expressed his gratitude to the public. “I would like to thank my wife and family for all the support they’ve given me, and every voter in town that showed their support as much as they have,” he said. “I look forward to working on the lanes, the sidewalks, the boardwalk, and I am really looking forward to getting close to the [Sylvan] Lake Commission.” “I too, wish to thank all of you for coming today, and certainly for having the confidence in me to elect me … It’s quite an honor,” said Commissioner Gorman. The commissioner recalled walking down the boardwalk with his parents as a child, and other parents taking notice of his friendly nature, remarking that he would be probably be in political office someday. “Who knew 40 years later, they’d be right,” Commissioner Gorman said. The commissioner expressed interest in working with many groups in town, such as the first aid, fire and recreation departments, and added he would be accessible to inquiries and comments from the public.

Council approves open space grant agreement with county By Brian O’Keefe The Spring Lake Heights Council authorized an agreement to receive a $250,000 grant from the Monmouth County Municipal Open Space Program for the possible purchase of 1200 Allaire Road, a property next to Allaire Road Park, at Monday night’s meeting. The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders approved the grant for the borough last year. The purpose

of the resolution passed by the council is to indicate to the county that the borough is still interested in receiving the grant, Mayor Elwood Malick explained. Borough Attorney Frederick C. Raffetto is still negotiating with the lawyer of property owner M.B. Fletcher, and no agreement has been reached regarding whether the borough will actually buy the land. In other news from Monday night’s council meeting: • The council appointed M. Tara Shinn as a part-time violations clerk in the municipal court office, at a pay rate of $12 per hour. • Old Mill Road resident Andrew Neaves was appointed as a temporary summer employee in the public works department, at an hourly pay rate of $9.90. • Mayor Malick presented a proclamation to borough resident Leslie Labruto, who was selected as Manasquan High School’s student achiever of the year for the 2006-2007

school year. Leslie is also ranked first in her class and is this year’s valedictorian. It will be the first time a Spring Lake Heights Elementary School graduate was named valedictorian at the high school since 1963. • The council authorized a permit to the Spring Lake Heights Little League to hold a “Family Fun Day” on June 23. • Shore Road resident James Martin inquired about the new format of council agendas introduced at the meeting. “Is that a permanent change?” he asked. “It’s a work in progress, Mr. Martin,” replied Borough Administrator Theresa Casagrande. Including roll call tables on the agenda makes it quicker to complete meeting minutes, she said. Mr. Martin said that might be good for the council, but distributing an agenda in that format to the public was a waste of paper.

First aid call leads to arrest for CDS By Brian O’Keefe A Bradley Beach woman was arrested for possession of codeine pills without a prescription by Spring Lake Heights Police, after the department received a call regarding a person lying on her back on the sidewalk of Route 71 near the intersection with Warren Avenue. Ptl. Edward Gunnell and Sgt. Barry Johnstone responded, thinking it was a first aid call, and found Michelle Sullivan, 24, walking northbound on the west sidewalk of Route 71, at the intersection of St. Clair Avenue. The officers interviewed Ms. Sullivan, asking if she had been lying on the sidewalk and if she had a medical condition. They found prescription “Pain Ease” tablets in her possession without a prescription. Ptl. Gunnell made the arrest. Ms. Sullivan was

released on her own recognizance. The Spring Lake Heights Police Department has also reported the following recent activity in the borough: • On Thursday, May 3, Ptl. Gunnell arrested Spring Lake Heights resident Gaven D. Alexander, 32, at police headquarters on a warrant out of Avon. Mr. Alexander posted $164 bail. • On Saturday, May 5, at 6:07 p.m., Ptl. Gunnell issued a motor vehicle summons to Brick resident Kelly Long for operating her vehicle while suspended, after a motor vehicle stop on Route 71 and Shore Road. • On Friday, May 11, Ptl. Michael Matunas arrested Point Pleasant resident Danielle L. Britton, 26, for driving while intoxicated after stopping her for a motor vehicle violation. She was later released to a friend. • On Saturday, May 12, Special Officer Douglas Mayer arrested Oakhurst resident Kevin T. Tetti, 28, for driving while intoxicated, after he was involved in a motor vehicle accident. He was later released to a friend.

Spring Lake Heights resident Eddie Gunnell, 2, played at the community center playground on Ocean Road recently.

Woman arrested for stealing 85-year-old mother’s identity The Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office announced that a 46-year-old Rumson woman was arrested Tuesday for stealing $110,000 by allegedly stealing the identity of her 85year-old mother, a Spring Lake Heights resident. Mary E. Kohler was arrested by detectives from the prosecutor’s office and the Spring Lake Heights Police Department on warrants charging her with second-degree theft by deception, third-degree forgery and thirddegree identity theft. Bail was set by Monmouth County Superior Court Judge Paul F. Chaiet at $85,000 with no 10 percent option. A joint investigation by the prosecutor’s office and Heights police revealed that from August 2006 and February 2007, Ms. Kohler used her mother’s identification to obtain several lines of credit. The investigation began after the victim received repeated telephone calls from various

credit card companies, collection agencies and lending institutions demanding payment. As a result, the victim ordered a credit check, which disclosed the fraudulently opened lines of credit. The investigation revealed that Ms. Kohler applied for the fraudulently obtained retail credit cards and bank credit cards. In addition, Ms. Kohler used her mother’s identifying information to finance a 2007 Mercedes Benz convertible worth over $55,000. To date, the total amount stolen is approximately $110,000. Monmouth County Prosecutor Luis A. Valentin stated, “[Ms.] Kohler engaged in criminal conduct where she intentionally assumed another person’s identity. “It is particularly troublesome that the theft involves an elderly individual who is on a fixed income. The fact that the victim

is the defendant’s 85-year-old mother only makes this case all the more distressing,” the prosecutor said. If convicted on all charges, Ms. Kohler could face a total state prison sentence of up to 20 years. The investigation is active, and anyone with information regarding the case is encouraged to call Detective Sgt. Christopher Donohue of the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office at 1-800533-7443. Despite these charges, every defendant is presumed innocent, unless, and until, found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, following a trial at which the defendant has all of the trial rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution and state law. Assistant Prosecutor Barbara Suppa is handling the case for the state. Ms. Kohler is represented by Long Branch attorney John J. Hopkins III.

Spring Lake Heights

DWI trial set to start almost three years after arrest

CANDICE KENMUIR, The Coast Star

A relatively minor DWI arrest made by Spring Lake Heights Police in 2004 has yet to be heard in court almost three years later.

now retired, had been unable to appear in Brick Township Municipal Court since last September because of his involvement in the State v. Chun Supreme Court case involving the Alcotest breath test device. That case involves a dispute over the accuracy of the Alcotest device, which is a newer technology than the Breathalyzer. The decision on that case will have no effect on Mr. Buttafuoco’s case, as he was tested with a Breathalyzer. Deputy Attorney General John Dell’Aquilo has been assigned to replace former deputy attorney general Monson in the trial. Besides providing representation for Trooper Huber, the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office has also apparently gotten involved in the prosecution of the simple municipal DWI case, as has the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office. Last July, former Brick Township prosecutor Kimberley Casten wrote a letter to Judge Collins complaining that both the attorney general’s office and the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office were directing her regarding how to prosecute the matter. “I no longer feel comfortable and confident in moving forward with the prosecution of the case,” Ms. Casten wrote the judge. She requested that either Ocean County Senior Assistant Prosecutor Thomas Cannavo or former deputy attorney general Monson take over the prosecution. Both offices declined to take over the prosecution. Ocean County Prosecutor Thomas Kelaher, in denying Ms. Casten’s request, also stated that his office would continue to advise her. New Jersey Attorney General’s Office spokesman Peter Aseltine said he could not specifically comment on whether former deputy attorney general Monson had provided direction to Ms. Casten, but he said that in general, “that has not been our role here in this case.” “That's one of my main jobs,” Mr. Cannavo said of advising municipal prosecutors, adding that type of involvement by the county prosecutor’s office in municipal cases is not unusual. Mr. Cannavo said he acted as an intermediary between the attorney general’s office and the municipal prosecutor in the case. Ms. Casten is no longer working as a prosecutor for Brick, and

Doug Jones has taken over the prosecution. Despite his own numerous requests for adjournments of trial dates during the two years after Mr. Buttafuoco’s arrest, Mr. Ansell complained to the court last October that former deputy attorney general Monson’s schedule conflict was holding up the trial, and he questioned the need for him to appear. “My client and I were absolutely ready to proceed” when the deputy attorney general requested an adjournment in August 2006, Mr. Ansell wrote, adding that “the majority of the delays [in the case] have been caused by the State.” In a memo to Judge Collins shortly after Mr. Ansell’s letter, Ms. Lawrence noted that many of the adjournments were in fact due to requests by the defense, which had requested at least seven earlier adjournments. “[I] reassert my client’s right to a speedy trial,” Mr. Ansell wrote. “The 60-day guideline in this case has been obliterated, and my client deserves to have this ugly chapter in his life closed so he can move on with his life.” Mr. O’Mara took over as Mr. Buttafuoco’s defense attorney after Mr. Ansell withdrew last January. Mr. O’Mara has since filed at least two adjournment requests of his own, while also demanding a speedy trial for his client. The first adjournment request, for Feb. 14, cited conflicting

court appearances for both himself and Mr. Buttafuoco. The second adjournment request was for the case’s latest trial date, set for next Wednesday. That request, which was denied by Judge Collins, stated that expert witness Gilbert Snowden of D.W.I. Consultants could not make that court date. Mr. O’Mara has also motioned to have the case dismissed, under the argument that Mr. Buttafuoco was illegally arrested, because, the attorney argued, there was no probable cause for Ptl. O’Neill to stop and seize him without a warrant. That letter, dated Feb. 1, 2007, is the first time that court records indicate such an argument being made. Mr. O’Mara has also requested a trial by jury. Reached last week, Mr. Ansell blamed the delays on the prosecution’s decision to fight his subpoena of Trooper Huber, which he said created “an issue within an issue” in the case. He also cited former deputy attorney general Monson’s schedule conflict. “It was completely unusual,” Mr. Ansell said of the delays. Regarding the numerous adjournment requests by the defense, Mr. Ansell noted that both he and Mr. Buttafuoco have busy trial schedules, although some of the requests were for reasons other than conflicting trials. Mr. Buttafuoco, Brick Township Prosecutor Jones and Spring Lake Heights Prosecutor Quinn did not return phone calls requesting comment. Mr. O’Mara and Ms. Casten were reached but had no comment on the case. Ms. Lawrence said she expects the trial to begin in Judge Collins’ courtroom at next Wednesday’s session. Spring Lake Heights Police Chief Steets said he hopes the trial actually gets underway next week, so his department does not have to deal with further adjournments. “It would be great if it was disposed of by now,” he said. “We'd like to see it go as quickly as possible — not wait three years.”

he added. The case apparently did not come before former Spring Lake Heights Municipal Court Judge Evan W. Broadbelt until January 2005, four months after the arrest. That delay resulted when the lawyer whom Mr. Buttafuoco initially hired to represent him in the matter had a conflict of interest, according to Mr. Ansell, who subsequently represented him. Mr. Ansell has since withdrawn from the case because of a conflict of his own that arose last January. His law partner, Frederick C. Raffetto, was named the Spring Lake Heights borough attorney at that time, and Mr. Ansell withdrew in order to avoid taking an adverse position to the Spring Lake Heights Police Department while his partner represented the borough. The case was transferred in January 2005 to Brick Township Municipal Court, where trial dates have been repeatedly scheduled and then cancelled over the past two years. In Spring Lake Heights, former Judge Broadbelt and Prosecutor Colin Quinn had recused themselves, citing the fact that Mr. Buttafuoco is a lawyer who represents the Middlesex County Municipal Joint Insurance Fund, which is the borough’s liability insurer. The case was then sent to Monmouth County Superior Court Judge Lawrence M. Lawson, for reassignment to another municipal court. The case was transferred outside the county because Mr. Buttafuoco had also represented the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office, which Judge Lawson said presented a problem with the case being tried in any municipality in the county. Plea bargaining on the case in Brick Township Municipal Court during 2005 was unsuccessful, according to Mr. Ansell, and it was determined that the matter would go to trial. Since January 2005, Mr. Buttafuoco and his lawyers, Mr. Ansell and Peter O’Mara, have requested at least 10 adjournments of that trial. Many of the adjournment requests were for conflicting appearances in superior and municipal courts that Mr. Ansell, Mr. O’Mara and Mr. Buttafuoco had on their respective trial schedules. Other reasons cited in the defense’s adjournment requests included a prepaid vacation scheduled by Mr. Ansell, a nonprofit board of directors meeting for Mr. Buttafuoco, an unspecified “prior personal commitment” of Mr. Ansell’s and a business trip for Mr. Buttafuoco. The state guideline of 60 days for the resolution of municipal court DWI cases is not a legal requirement, and there are no firm rules on how quickly such cases must be resolved, according to Spring Lake Heights Court Administrator Anna Kuntz. Brick Township Municipal Court attempts to follow the 60day guideline, said Brick Township Court Administrator Michelle Lawrence. She declined to comment on whether the delay in Mr. Buttafuoco’s trial is

unusual. “There are different reasons that things may go on,” Ms. Lawrence said. “I guess it depends on what the situation is.” Each time a court date is set, Ptl. O’Neill is required to appear, which “always” creates a police scheduling problem, Chief Steets said. The Spring Lake Heights Police Department switches shifts or schedules to accommodate the hearings and officers are sometimes paid on an overtime basis when schedules cannot be rearranged. The numerous court date cancellations for Mr. Buttafuoco’s trial have been inconvenient for the department as a whole, as well as for the arresting officer, Chief Steets said. The police department sometimes does not receive notice of adjournments until the day of the trial, the chief said. At other times, the department has been given one to two weeks advance notice, he said. In addition to the adjournment requests by the defense, another factor that has delayed the trial stems from Mr. Ansell’s subpoena of the New Jersey State Police breath test coordinator, Trooper Edward Huber, to testify about the accuracy of the Breathalyzer device used to test Mr. Buttafuoco. Mr. Ansell has told the court the defense plans to argue that the simulator solution Trooper Huber used to test and certify the Heights police department’s Breathalyzer could not verify that the device was accurate for readings below a 0.10 percent blood alcohol level. The tests in question were conducted in August and September 2004, using a 0.10 percent simulator solution. Both tests showed the device was accurate within acceptable tolerance levels, according to two certificates signed by Trooper Huber. However, Mr. Ansell has contended that the 0.10 percent test solution was scientifically unreliable, and that a 0.08 percent solution should have been used to test the Breathalyzer. The blood alcohol level for being legally drunk had been lowered to 0.08 percent in January 2004. The subpoena of Trooper Huber was at first quashed by Brick Township Municipal Court Judge Brant S. Collins, after the prosecution argued that the trooper would be an involuntary expert witness with no firsthand knowledge related to the case. In his ruling, Judge Collins stated that the Breathalyzer inspection certificates contained no anomalies, and that forcing Trooper Huber to appear in the case would set an unacceptable precedent in municipal courts. However, an Ocean County Superior Court judge reinstated the subpoena, after Judge Collins’ decision was appealed by the defense. The prosecution then appealed that decision to the New Jersey Superior Court Appellate Division, which let the subpoena stand in May 2006. Former New Jersey deputy attorney general Stephen Monson was assigned to represent Trooper Huber during his testimony on the Breathalyzer issue, but Mr. Monson, who is

Congressmen briefed about Wreck Pond By Brian O’Keefe A Minnesota congressman who chairs the U.S. House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure visited Spring Lake on Monday, and was briefed by state and local officials about the problems at Wreck Pond. Rep. Christopher Smith [RNJ] invited Democratic Rep. James Oberstar to the area in order to raise the profile of potential Army Corps of Engineers projects to study and clean up the polluted pond, according to Patrick Creamer,

Bird, plant walk set for May 20 Spring Lake Heights Environmental Commission members Steve Timmerman and Gary Mennie will host a spring “Bird and Plant Walk” this Sunday, May 20, from 9 to 11 a.m. at Ocean Road Park. Mr. Timmerman, an expert birder, will lead the walk along park trails behind the tennis courts. He will assist new birders with tips to help identify bird species. Mr. Mennie, a naturalist, will be on hand to identify the many native plants and wildflowers that grow in the wooded area. The walk will convene, rain or shine, in the parking lot near the tennis courts. The starting time is 9 a.m., so participants are advised to arrive prior to this time. The trails are easily accessible, but may be muddy, so walkers are advised to dress appropriately. All levels of bird watcher are welcome, from novice to experienced. Binoculars and cameras are recommended. For more information, call 732-282-0421.

Rep. Smith’s communications director. The two congressman met in Spring Lake Borough Hall with local officials from Spring Lake, Spring Lake Heights, Sea Girt and Wall, as well as Nancy Hayduk of the Wreck Pond Watershed Association and Cindy Zipf of Clean Ocean Action. Rep. Oberstar asked basic questions about the pond, such as the type of water it contains, whether it is channeled to the ocean and the width of the outfall pipe. Rep. Oberstar said he was supporting Rep. Smith’s request to make an appropriation for an initial study of the pond by the Army Corps of Engineers. The first thing that will need to be done is to “clear out that gunk” from the pond, Rep. Oberstar said.

He also suggested that the Army Corps of Engineers investigate creating a retention basin that would prevent water from the pond from flowing directly into the ocean during storms. The outfall pipe could then be diverted to the retention basin, Rep. Oberstar suggested. The group then drove to the site of the outfall pipe. Rep. Smith said he brought Rep. Oberstar to the site because if Wreck Pond’s problems are to be resolved, federal funding will be required. He estimated that the entire cost of studying and cleaning up the pond would be between $25 million and $35 million. Rep. Smith said he hoped the studies and cleanup could be expedited so that it could be finished well before 2018, but said he could not estimate

when. Ms. Hayduk said she did not get a sense that the cleanup would in fact be expedited, but said she was heartened that the congressmen seemed to be committed to cleaning up the pond for future generations. “[Rep. Oberstar] was certainly knowledgeable of the issues at hand, so hopefully he’ll raise Wreck Pond on the priority of issues that they have to deal with,” said Sea Girt Council President Mark Clemmensen, who was also in attendance. Councilman Clemmensen concurred with Ms. Hayduk that there was no realistic indication during the meeting that the work would happen quicker than a previously discussed timeline that had an earliest possible completion date of 2018.

Avon-By-The-Sea Spring Is In Full Bloom

Avon reminding public of ‘Click It or Ticket’ From May 21 to June 3, law enforcement officers throughout New Jersey will be stepping up enforcement and education of the state’s primary Seat Belt Law. The enforcement and education campaign comes as part of the nationwide “Click It or Ticket” mobilization. The goal of the program is to increase the statewide safety belt usage rate to 92 percent. The current safety belt usage rate is 90 percent, and the rate has steadily risen during the last 10 years. In 2006, there were 773 motor vehicle fatalities in New Jersey, a large percentage of which were not wearing a safety belt. Safety belt use saves lives and prevents injuries. Between 1975 and 2000, safety belts prevented 135,000 fatalities and 3.8 million injuries nationwide, saving $585 billion in medical and other costs. Safety belt use is especially important for teens and young adults. Motor vehicle crashes

are the leading cause of death people age 15 to 34 in the United States. During the mobilization period from May 21 to June 3, local police agencies will conduct a zero-tolerance safety belt enforcement campaign. Motorists who are not buckled up will be issued a ticket. In addition, concerted efforts are going on locally and statewide to raise awareness about the importance and life-saving benefits of safety belts. “High visibility enforcement saves lives,” said Pamela Fischer, Director of the New Jersey Division of Highway Traffic Safety. “Our goal is to make sure that all motor vehicle occupants are properly restrained, on every trip.” “We are committed to the ‘Click It or Ticket’ strategy,” added Tom Louizou, Regional Administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. “Tickets are a strong deterrent and the results are meaningful. Fewer deaths on our roads.”

Nicholas Leather Foundation to hold fund-raising benefit The Nicholas Leather Heart to Heart Foundation was created in the loving memory of Nicholas Alexander Leather, who died on May 6, 2001. Nicholas was born on March 14, 2001 along with his twin brother. Nicholas had been diagnosed with a congenital heart defect [CHD], which would require several surgeries to correct. The expert care Nicholas received allowed him to have a fighting chance to survive. The technologies and skills in this area are improving every year. With increased awareness and research, children diagnosed with congenital heart defects will be able to receive advanced care. This will allow for a better quality of life. Nicholas Leather’s extended family received so much love and support during his life that they feel the only true way to show appreciation would be to share the strength they received by helping others.

The goal is two fold: to raise awareness of congenital heart defects and offer a realistic hope for families faced with the difficult challenges, as well as offering financial support to families through organizations such as Ronald McDonald House. The initial fund-raiser of selling blue CHD AWARENESS wristbands began in February 2007. On Saturday, May 26, the first “Walk for Nicholas” will be held on the Avon Boardwalk. Registration begins at 9 a.m. at the Avon Pavilion [rain or shine]. Participants are requested to donate at least $25 to walk. T-shirts and wristbands will also be available for donations. Information from the Congenital Heart Defect Information Network and Ronald McDonald House will be available. The Nicholas Leather Heart to Heart Foundation is a registered non-profit organization and all donations are tax deductible.

29 at 7:30 p.m. in the municipal building. • An ordinance which would vacate Washington Avenue below South Station Avenue and the railroad tracks was introduced for first reading. “The county has seen on our old tax maps that Washington Avenue actually runs to the railroad. They want us to vacate the portion of Washington Avenue between South Station Avenue and the railroad where the garden club has their greenhouse,” said Mr. Gallagher. The borough administrator later clarified that even though the turn-ofthe-century tax map shows the street running all the way to the railroad tracks, that area of Washington Avenue between South Station Avenue and the railroad in actuality has been the site of Volunteer Park, a local recreation area, for years. Mr. Gallagher said that Avon’s tax maps will be updated to reflect the change, since a grant from the county to do work on Volunteer Park is being withheld until the street is vacated. • The board of commissioners passed a resolution that would approve cutting $90,000 from the defeated school budget. The council suggested budgeting an additional $40,000 in state extraordinary aid, which has not yet been received this year, but officials are expecting the same amount to be provided by the state as last year. The commissioners also increased the contribution to the budget from the surplus. The planned hiring of a part-time janitor was also cut under the commissioner’s recommendations. The school can either accept the $90,000 cut or appeal to the county superintendent of schools. If the school accepts the $90,000 cut figure, it is only obligated to cut that dollar amount and does not necessarily have to

Water-sewer rates to increase in boro

The way it’s meant to be 1104 Third Ave., Spring Lake, NJ , 732-282-1900 Mon.-Sat. 10-5:00pm • Sun. 10-4pm

By Kelly Skellinger Mayor Kenneth E. Pringle and the borough council passed an ordinance, at last Wednesday’s meeting of the mayor and council, that will establish higher watersewer rates and a minimum usage fee for borough residents. The ordinance states that, effective May 1, on the thirtieth day after payment of the water-sewer bill is due, interest on the unpaid amount of the bill will accrue at a rate of “18 percent per annum,” to be calculated from the due date of the bill until the date of the actual payment. The minimum quarterly usage fee for utilizing water and sewer services will increase by $7.50, from $51.50 to $59. per account. This fee will allow for usage of 5,000 gallons of water per quarter. All water used in excess of

5,000 gallons will be billed at the rate of $11.80 for each 1,000 gallons of water actually used at the resident’s property. This new rate is an increase of $1.50 from the borough’s previous rate of $10.30. The new water-sewer rate of $11.80 equates to a new sewer rate of $6.65, an increase of 98 cents, combined with a new water rate of $5.15, an increase of 52 cents, per every thousand gallons of water. The previous sewer rate equated to $5.67, with a water rate of $4.63 per every thousand gallons of water. The ordinance will increase the separate water rate of $4.63 for customers who have a separate metered account for a lawn sprinkler system to $5.15 for each 1,000 gallons of water used on the property and will not be charged a minimum quarterly fee.

Slip request to go before council By Kelly Skellinger Mayor Kenneth E. Pringle and the borough council are expected to consider a request at their next meeting on May 23 from three Ocean Grove inns, seeking to run a dining cruise boat out of the Belmar Marina. Bob Valenti, who approached the Belmar Harbor Commission on behalf of the three inns located in Ocean Grove, will be presenting the request to Mayor Pringle and the borough council at next Wednesday’s meeting. Mr. Valenti, who represents The Ocean Plaza, The Oceanview and The Parkview Inn, first made the request at the meeting of the Belmar Harbor Commission held on May 2. “We do have a commercial slip available for $20,000,” Belmar Borough Clerk Margaret Plummer explained to the mayor

and council at last Wednesday’s workshop meeting when the matter came up. Councilman Matthew Doherty, who is also a member of the Belmar Harbor Commission, expressed to the mayor and his fellow council members that he thought Mr. Valenti’s request was a “great idea.” “It’s basically three inns in Ocean Grove who have come together to purchase a boat for dinner cruises,” Councilman Doherty said. “Their intentions aren’t bad. It’s for small parties for folks, about 20 people or less.” Councilman Doherty confirmed that Mr. Valenti would be serving alcohol on the boat and had already looked into getting a maritime alcohol license. Mayor Pringle stated that the council, acting as the local ABC board, needed only to get notification of the permit. “We don’t have to pass anything,” Mayor Pringle said. Police Chief Jack Hill agreed. While Mayor Pringle did not seem to have a problem with the idea of a dining cruise boat, he did express his concerns over the issuance of slips to, what he called, “the booze cruise industry.” Mayor Pringle stated that maybe the council should consider putting a limitation on the number of people allowed on a boat that serves alcohol. Mayor Pringle stated that he didn’t know how the mayor and council could say yes to Mr. Valenti’s request and no to others who may be interested in creating dining boat cruises, but may border on the edge of being part of the “booze cruise industry.” Mayor Pringle requested that the council look into defining the maximum occupancy of boats that wish to serve alcohol.

Pringle says no to creation of all-volunteer rec committee By Kelly Skellinger Mayor Kenneth E. Pringle put his foot down at last Wednesday night’s workshop meeting of the governing body, stating that he was “opposed to having a volunteer recreation committee in lieu of a paid recreation director.” Councilman William Merkler had requested that the mayor and council have a public meeting in two weeks to discuss the possibility of a volunteer recreation committee. Mayor Pringle did not see the point in holding a public meeting on the issue when his mind was already made up. Mayor Pringle, who was not present when the idea of creating a volunteer committee was brought up by resident Mike Seebeck at the April 25 meeting of the mayor and council, was ready to give his opinion on the matter last Wednesday night, putting an end to the head-butting that has been running rampant among council members and Mr. Seebeck over the last few weeks. A public recreation meeting was held on April 21, in which the mayor, council and interested residents discussed the future of Belmar recreation. Brian Magovern, the town’s current recreation director, will be retiring in August and the mayor and council were looking into what could be done after he leaves to improve Belmar’s current recreation program. At the April 25 meeting of the mayor and council, Mr. Seebeck had expressed his concern in hiring another recreation director when a volunteer committee, according to him, could do the same job. Councilman Merkler agreed, although the rest of the council were opposed to the issue. “I want a pragmatic, practical approach to recreation,” Mayor Pringle said last Wednesday. “A volunteer committee is asking too

much.” Mayor Pringle did add, if anyone is interested in coming out as a volunteer for the available volunteer positions, they should feel more than welcome to do so. At the beginning of last Wednesday night’s meeting, Mr. Seebeck approached the mayor and council once again, stating that he wanted to follow up on the public recreation meeting that was held on April 21. “I want to try to establish a [recreation] position where some tax savings and some benefits could be deemed by considering an alternative administration of recreation going forward. People brought up the idea of a committee [at the April 21 meeting] and it just didn’t seem to get that much traction.” “Just so we’re clear, because I was at the meeting [on April 21],” Mayor Pringle said, “the conversation that we had about a committee was a committee that was going to be, as I understood it, an advisory committee to provide ongoing citizen input into the process and to whom the recreation director would either report to or keep informed.” “If that was the case, Mayor Pringle,” Mr. Seebeck said, “then that was a misunderstanding.” “The idea of a committee in lieu of a recreation director has never had a public hearing,” Mayor Pringle said. “I was actually thinking of going entirely committee or all part time directors,” Mr. Seebeck said. “Is it possible, if it already has not been decided, now to consider, for a number of reasons, the possibility of looking at an alternative?” While Mr. Seebeck went on to list a number of reasons that supported the creation of an alternative volunteer committee, from the possibility of generating new ideas, generating fund-raising and reducing the burden on the tax-

payers, his argument did not sit well with Mayor Pringle. “At the end of the day, Mayor Pringle and council, if we explore it and no one shows up and it doesn’t work, then we can hire a recreation director,” Mr. Seebeck said. “There is no down side.” “The downside, the issue that I am concerned with, is maintaining the current quality of the program we have,” Mayor Pringle said. “I guess, I don’t have your optimism about how easy it will be to rely on the volunteers to run the program. Most of our volunteer programs that we have run through recreation, many of them, really have not survived the person who started them, or the core group of people who started them.” “What we really want to accomplish … is the opportunity to try to rejuvenate the program in terms of new things,” Mayor Pringle said. Mayor Pringle added the borough has received complaints from seniors, parents of teenagers and parents of pre-schoolers, toddlers and infants, all of them saying that there are no programs in town for these groups. “We need to focus more of the attention of a recreation director on being a manager and orchestrating the new programs,” Mayor Pringle said, “to try to recruit volunteers, to leverage that one job into more and to try to take some of the day-to-day jobs off of the recreation director’s back. My point was that, where I disagree with you, is that we need a person whose job it is to be the band leader, for lack of a better term, that gives direction.” “I’m very, very nervous about taking what is a world class recreation program and risking what we built by replacing it with volunteers,” Mayor Pringle said. “We

Spring Fling will cater to children Spring Fling weekend, which will be held this Saturday, May 19, and Sunday, May 20, in Belmar, means over 100 yard sales, sidewalk sales by local businesses, the kite festival on the beach and, new this year, special activities on Main Street for children. “The weekend activities and the number of yard sales and participating businesses keeps growing each year,” Carol Davies, Belmar Environmental Chairperson, said earlier this week. Each year this event attracts thousands of visitors. The event is co-sponsored by the Belmar Environmental Commission [BEC] and the Belmar Chamber of Commerce. The children’s activities will take place on Main Street on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Children under the age of 18, who participate in the Kite

Scavenger Hunt, will hunt for kite “trivia answers” during Saturday’s sidewalk sale. Answers will be posted on the windows of participating businesses on Main Street. The children will search for the answers and return their completed answer forms to win a prize from Rita’s Water Ices. Kite-making kits will also be available for the first 500 children to create their own kite from scratch to fly on the beach. This activity is sponsored by The Drachen Foundation and will be held at Connolly Station. In addition, a Kids Kite Garden Contest will be held for children, under the age of 12, who will participate in making a kite garden out of craft supplies. The top three projects will be awarded kite prizes. This contest is sponsored by Allaire Country Day at Goodsports.

The idea behind the giant yard sale is to help residents keep things out of the landfill while helping others. Participating residents are encouraged to have a “free” section in their garage sales, of items they can give away to others who need them. In addition, the BEC is distributing a list of organizations willing to pick up donated items, from clothes to computers. All people in the borough are urged to donate rather than throw out old furniture, toys, household goods and other items that may be left over from their garage sale. A list with the addresses of participating residents and businesses is on Belmar’s Web site, www.belmar.com. Maps of all the activities during Spring Fling Weekend, including the sidewalk sale, yard sales and kite festival will be available throughout the town all weekend.

Belmar

Mesivta School dean denies noise allegations from residents By Kelly Skellinger Vickie Renner wants the Belmar Mayor and Council to do something, anything, about the Mesivta Keser Torah School students who are currently living in the three, single-family homes that the school rents out to its students. Two of the houses are located on Twelfth Avenue and a third is located on Fourteenth Avenue and C Street. The Mesivta Keser Torah School, which the students attend, is located at 503 Eleventh Ave. Mrs. Renner claims that the students who attend school create noise pollution in the neighborhood, exceed the occupancy limit of the homes in which they live and have an overall disregard for the neighborhood and its inhabitants. She also complained of excessive trash on the property and broken windows at the school. However, Rabbi David Heinemann, dean of Mesivta Keser Torah School, had a different take on the allegations that Ms. Renner brought against the school at last Wednesday’s council meeting, in which no one from the school was represented. Ms. Renner — a Republican candidate for council in June’s primary — approached the mayor and council during the meeting last week, requesting an end to the

LAUREN PARKER, The Coast Star

The Mesivta Keser Torah School, which is located at 503 Eleventh Ave., in the borough, has had quality of life complaints lodged against it by neighbors, including Vickie Renner, who stated that she does not blame the students for their behavior. Instead, Ms. Renner blamed the borough for condoning it.

alleged noise, litter and overcrowding violations that she contended neighbors have become all too familiar with. Bill Tyler, who lives next door to one of the school’s dormitories, also questioned the borough’s allowance of dormitories in a residential zone and stated that his

BEC to host first shredding event We’ll design your pots with our beautiful flowers

Open 7 Days • Fridays until 7pm

Belmar residents can take advantage of the borough’s inaugural, free document shredding event which will be offered this Saturday, May 19, at the Recycling Center on 16th and Railroad avenues. The document shredding event will begin at 8 a.m. and end at 1 p.m., or until the shredding truck is full, whichever comes first. As part of the Spring Fling weekend, the Belmar Environmental Commission [BEC] has arranged for the mobile shredding service through Accurate Document Destruction, Inc., of

Lawrenceville. According to Carol Davies, BEC chair, this service has been offered in other Monmouth County communities and has been “well received.” “This is an opportunity to safely dispose of old receipts, bills, financial statements, payroll stubs, resumes, medical information, tax records and other documents you have not thrown out or recycled due to concerns about confidentiality,” Ms. Davies explained. “It is not necessary to remove paper clips or staples. Please, no books, magazines or newspapers.”

wife, who is pregnant and on bed rest, is constantly aggravated by the students’ noisy behavior. Ms. Renner stated on Tuesday that after Mr. Tyler approached the mayor and council last Wednesday, she decided to do the same. However, Rabbi Heinemann categorically denied the allegations and stopped just short of saying the complaints lodged against the school are antiSemitic. “The story is a complete fabrication,” Rabbi Heinemann stated on Tuesday. “While I don’t want to say it is a case of anti-Semitism, it has obvious overtones. “It definitely is a fabrication,” Rabbi Heinemann continued. “The boys are very upset about it. We feel like we’re under siege.” The rabbi said he believes Ms. Renner’s complaints about the school are politically motivated. “This woman [Ms. Renner] wants to double her support [in her race for council],” Rabbi Heinemann said, “and it has always been a popular thing to speak out against Jews.” Rabbi Heinemann, whose father is a Holocaust survivor and lost many of his relatives during the Holocaust, stated, “we’ve lived through this before.” Rabbi Heinemann added, “We

don’t know what to do about it. We’re not fighters. We are a peace-loving people.” Ms. Renner responded to Rabbi Heinemann’s comments on Tuesday afternoon, stating that labeling someone anti-Semitic is the easiest way to label someone in the political world. “The mayor and council and authorities in town will not address these issues because they fear being called anti-Semitic,” Ms. Renner continued. “I’m no different, calling these kids [the Mesivta School students] or others making noise in the summer. This is not anti-Semitic.” “If it comes to it, we may take them to court,” Rabbi Heinemann said on Tuesday afternoon, referring to the neighbors who have lodged complaints against the school and its students. “In the meantime, we are holding him [our lawyer] back.” Rabbi Heinemann believes that Ms. Renner has a personal agenda against the school. However, he stated numerous times on Tuesday that he wanted everything to stay calm. “I’m trying to keep things cool,” Rabbi Heinemann said. Mayor Kenneth E. Pringle responded to Ms. Renner’s complaints last Wednesday, stating that the police would enforce the

Belmar mayor, council approve summer, fall special events By Kelly Skellinger Belmar’s Seafood Festival, the Belmar Tourism Commission’s Friday Night Concert Series and the Ancient Order of Hibernian’s Motorcycle Ride were just a few of the special events that Mayor Kenneth E. Pringle and the borough council passed a resolution to permit at last Wednesday’s mayor and council meeting. Other special events that were permitted last Wednesday included the Autism Family Services of New Jersey’s Surf Camp, the Solutions Pregnancy and Health Center’s Walk-athon and the Big Hearts to Little Heart’s Walk-a-thon. All of the special event applications were received and reviewed by the Special Events Committee at their April 25 and May 9 meetings. The Belmar Seafood Festival will be held on Saturday, June 9 and Sunday, June 10, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on both days. The following rules and regulations were approved for the festival. Set-up for the event will take place on the Thursday and Friday prior to the event and the breakdown for the event will take place on the Monday after the festival. No generators can be run after 7 p.m. and vendors must close up shop by 7 p.m. No one is permitted to stay in the trailers overnight. While vehicles will be allowed to drop off wares, those vehicles that are

double or triple parked for longer than the time they spend dropping-off wares will be towed. No parking will be allowed on the north side of Silver Lake between A Street and B Street, or in front of Taylor Pavilion. Two trolleys will run both days. No dogs are allowed and signs relaying this message will be posted at the perimeters of the park. There must be three feet between food vendors and food vendors must report to the fire official when they change their propane. In addition, the fire official will randomly check all food vendors. The wine area will be expanded this year to the Silver Lake Gazebo. Taylor Pavilion will be the site of the hospitality tent for the sponsors. The cost for the fire official is $160. A donation of $200 will be given to the police explorers and the cost for public safety is $5279. All costs for the festival are due and must be paid by June 1. The Belmar Tourism Commission’s Friday Night Concert Series will run from June 1 through Aug. 31, every Friday night from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. No borough resources will be needed for the events. The Ancient Order of Hibernians’ Motorcycle Ride will be held on Saturday, Aug. 4, from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. No borough resources are needed for this event, either.

The Autism Family Services of New Jersey’s Surf Camp will be held on Sunday, Sept. 9, from 5:30 a.m. to 6:30 pm. on the beaches between 16th and 18th avenues. Twenty parking spaces will be reserved for those running the event. The following rules and regulations were established for the Surf Camp event. There will be no more than 150 children surfing and no cooking or glass bottles will be allowed. There will be one 10 by 10 feet tent for registration and two 20 by 20 feet tents for food and arts and crafts. Garbage must be left in the garbage cans or bagged up. Two or three lifeguards will be provided by the borough for the day. As for the fall events that were approved, the Solutions Pregnancy and Health Center’s Walk-a-thon will be held on Saturday, Oct. 13, from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Walkers must stay on the boardwalk and out of the street at all times. The cost for public works is $160. The Big Hearts to Little Heart’s Walk-a-thon will be held on Saturday, Oct. 20. Walkers must stay on the boardwalk and out of the street at all times. Taylor Pavilion and the bathrooms at Eighth and Tenth avenues will be available for the event. The cost for public works is $160.

conduct and potential violations that occurred in the neighborhood, just as they would any other rental property. Mayor Pringle added the Belmar Police Department would also focus on “noise violations, litter and overcrowding.” The Mesivta Keser Torah School’s student housing, the three, single-family homes where the students now reside, is now being considered dormitories by the state, according to Borough Administrator Robbin Kirk. Dormitories and schools are not prohibited in the borough, Ms. Kirk stated last Wednesday. While Ms. Renner insinuated that the school was now considered a college, Ms. Kirk stated that the borough does not delineate in its records as to which grades the school includes. Ms. Kirk added that the school was only listed as an educational facility. Rabbi Heinemann stated on Tuesday that the school’s building on Eleventh Avenue has been in the borough since 1926, and has changed hands between different schools over the years. Mesivta Keser Torah School was only established in Belmar in 1988. The students who attend the school range in age from 13 to 21. “The boys who come to this school come from all over the world,” Rabbi Heinemann added. “The school has a wonderful name and it’s very hard to get into.” Rabbi Heinemann explained that only the “best boys from the best families” attend the school. “They are extra good boys,” Rabbi Heinemann added. “The name Belmar is known throughout the world because of this school.” “The houses owned are owned by the school, in the name of the school,” Ms. Kirk explained. “The kids pay tuition to the school. The cost of the housing is covered by their tuition.” While the three, single-family homes where the students live were once owned by individuals, the school owns the homes now. Ms. Renner said the school and its students have been responsible for disturbances in the neighborhood for years. “The bottom line is, this is nothing new… We’ve brought [the issue] up for the last 10 years, at least,” Ms. Renner said. “I think the big problem that I brought up to the chief of police is that no one really realizes the tension that has grown in this neighborhood because, as a community, we have not done anything. “It is really hard for people who live in that area to be disturbed 24 hours a day,” Ms. Renner continued. “The bottom line is that these kids are on their own at 17 or 18 years old. “We don’t even know if they are of age to live in these houses,” Ms. Renner said. “The problem we are having is, if it was a summer residence and they did something to the neighborhood, we would make a phone call to the police, two or three times, and they would start to get tickets. They would be an animal house. “They can’t be an animal house because they are registered as a year-round rental,” Ms. Renner concluded. “We don’t know who to go to.” The students, though they may be younger than 18, do have consent from their parents to live in the dormitories if their parents are paying the school tuition. However, the age of the children was not the only issue Ms. Renner was concerned with. She stated last Wednesday that someone had mentioned to her that 16 students were living in one of the single-family homes — an allegation the rabbi denied. “We are inspected regularly by the township and the state,” Rabbi Heinemann said on Tuesday. “We have all of the certificates that we need. We do not have overcrowding.” Mayor Pringle stated that the buildings have not gotten any bigger. “As long as the occupancy is not

the director’s salary] on our fields and recreation facilities and still create a volunteer committee. We’re falling short if we don’t try it. We have the people in Belmar to do this.” Councilwoman Merry Brennan, who supported Mayor Pringle in his argument to hire a recreation director, stated that she had gotten feedback from other towns who used volunteer recreation committees in lieu of recreation directors and “their recreation volunteers burn out” and “are spread too thin.” Councilwoman Brennan added, “Our talent in Belmar is immeasurable, but it is a mistake to rely on them [volunteers] for the basis of the recreation program.” Mayor Pringle concluded, “the recreation department is the strongest magnet that encourages people to live here. It is too much of a risk for volunteers to run our recreation program.”

From Page 6 need a person who is a “go to” person, someone who has the gifts that Brian has. We could add volunteers, we just do not want to replace the director.” Mayor Pringle stated that the borough could look into hiring a new director at a lower salary and, “if they already have benefits, that’s a plus.” In this way, the money that would have been used to pay the recreation director’s salary could be used to benefit other areas of recreation. “We are not putting enough faith in our residents to run this,” Councilman Merkler argued. Councilman Merkler went on to say that he has had many people come up to him, asking to volunteer. “We have a short window to make the right decision,” Councilman Merkler said. “We can keep the money in the budget [if a recreation director is not hired] and use the money [from

Governing body introduces budget By Kelly Skellinger Mayor Kenneth E. Pringle and the borough council finally introduced the 2007 budget last Wednesday, after weeks and weeks of brainstorming and toiling over spreadsheets. A public hearing on the 2007 budget will be held next Wednesday in borough hall. The mayor and council will also vote on the budget at the meeting. “We spent a lot of time on this,” Mayor Pringle stated last Wednesday. Borough Administrator Robbin Kirk explained last week that the proposed total municipal budget amount for 2007 was $12,282,059, an increase of $376,819 from the 2006 total budget which was $11,905,240.

The amount of the budget that will be raised through local taxation will total $6,152,739. That will result in an increase of 2.5 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. The 2006 rate per $100 of assessed valuation for municipal purposes was 58.7 cents. The proposed rate for 2007 per $100 of assessed valuation for municipal purposes is 61.2 cents. For the 2007 budget, $1.5 million is being applied from surplus. This will leave $125,523 in the surplus account. The average price of a home in the borough is $326,000. The municipal tax liability on that homeowner will total $1,995. This reflects an increase of $81.86 over last year.

Youth Government program generates new, fresh ideas By Kelly Skellinger Belmar Elementary School held its Youth Government Night at Borough Hall in Belmar last Wednesday, with students from the school assuming the seats of Mayor Kenneth E. Pringle and the council in order to conduct their own business. Superintendent of Schools Lester Richens, Ph. D., Assistant Principal Paul Shappirio, Borough Clerk Margaret Plummer, Police Chief Jack Hill, Borough Attorney Karl Kemm, Mayor Pringle, Councilman Matthew Dougherty and Councilwoman Merry Brennan were all in attendance, in the audience, to witness the student’s mock meeting of the mayor and council. Mayor Pringle, whose niece, Culli Pringle, acted as a councilwoman this year, introduced the student mayor and council. Shane Fitzgerald took the role of mayor, while Culli, Emmett Rummler, Jackie Bekier and Shane Bogusz all acted as council members. Aislinn Brennan played the part of borough clerk. As the students approached the dais, Mayor Pringle said, “Good luck. If you don’t mind, put through that tax increase tonight. Take a little of the heat off of us.” Jeff Ramsey, Belmar Elementary School’s seventh and eighth grade social studies teacher, stated on Wednesday that this was the third year he has been in charge of the youth government program at the school. Belmar Elementary School has been running the youth government program for the last 30 years. Mr. Ramsey explained that the school’s sixth through eighth grade classes participate in the program every year. “The students learn about how things are run,” Mr. Ramsey said. “They can see how the heart of the town functions through the jobs of the mayor and council.” When asked if the children became nervous before they took their seats as the acting mayor and council, Mr. Ramsey stated, “No. They’re pretty calm.” The school’s youth government program is a month-long program, Mr. Ramsey explained. The students that want to participate in the program write speeches and deliver them to their peers in the Belmar

Elementary School auditorium at the beginning of May. Their peers vote and the students are then elected into their seats on council. Emmett introduced the first resolution on the mock agenda on Wednesday, in which the town of Belmar would distribute questionnaires to students at Belmar Elementary School in regards to the improvements that need to be made to the Belmar skatepark. “It’s a good way to let the appropriate people know what is needed in the park,” Emmett said. The rest of the students agreed with Emmett and passed the resolution. Culli introduced an ordinance that would create additional crossing guards in the borough over the summer months. “I feel a few more would be beneficial,” Culli said. Culli explained that there were many children who walk around Belmar in the summer and there is a lot of vehicular traffic in the town in the summer. Student councilman Shane said, “added safety is a positive thing.” The crossing guard resolution was also passed. Jackie introduced a resolution to create a public pool within the borough. “It would be a great addition to our town,” Jackie said. Culli agreed and stated that the center of town would be an ideal location for a pool. However, acting as mayor, Shane stated, “We are lucky enough to have a beach right next to us.” Shane explained that the beach brings in money for the town and he would not like to see that revenue taken away.

Spring Fling event set for this weekend Belmar’s Chamber of Commerce will be hosting Spring Fling Weekend, this Saturday, May 19, and Sunday, May 20. The weekend includes a kite festival, sidewalk sale and town-wide garage sale. The kite festival will be held at the Belmar beachfront, between Second and Fifth avenues, this Saturday, May 19, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, May 20, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. This year, the festival is sponsored by Connolly Station, Star News Group, publisher of The Coast Star and The Ocean Star, Salon Marsal and Super Foodtown of Wall.

The Kid-N-U Kite Shop will be selling unique kites on the beachfront. Sand art activities will be available for the kids and t-shirt vendors will also be stationed nearby. On Saturday, May 19, the Belmar Sidewalk Sale will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Local merchants will take to the streets

all along Belmar’s Main Street with some of their finest products. While parents shop, a scavenger hunt and other fun, family activities will be held for the children. Each child that participates in the scavenger hunt will win a prize. For those who may have shopped their way to an appetite, Belmar restaurants will offer Spring Fling specials on their delicious foods during the Sidewalk Sale on May 19. The Town-wide Garage Sale, which is co-sponsored by the Belmar Environmental Commission and the Chamber, will offer bargain shoppers over 100 garage sales to pillage through!

“The costs would be higher than the money we would bring in,” Shane added. There were two votes in favor of the pool and three against the resolution. The resolution did not pass. The last resolution was introduced by student councilman Shane, who stated that the Belmar Recycling Center should be open for longer hours. The student mayor and council passed the resolution. “The best thing about this program is that, everything that they bring up, we talked about and the students really want,” Mr. Ramsey said, after the meeting. “Even when Shane [who played mayor] disagreed with the pool, he actually did disagree with the pool when we were talking about it and he came up with those points. I thought they did a great job this year. I thought the resolutions were practical for the most part.”

Councilwoman Brennan stated that she thought the resolutions were “really, really thought out.” “I, for one, would like to follow up on a few of the things that you suggested,” Councilwoman Brennan said. “It is really important to go to the kids about the skate park. So, I think that the council may be able to arrange some sort of survey or questionnaire. I hope to see you standing up there again in, what, 10 years, as elected officials?” Mayor Pringle agreed with Councilwoman Brennan and said he was thinking a skateboard public meeting at the school should be held. “You guys are conservative, fiscally,” Mayor Pringle added. “You are a tough bunch. I thought all of your comments were very thoughtful. You obviously put a lot of time into this.” “You did a great job and, for me, this is the last one,” Superintendent Richens said. “Every year, the resolutions became better and better and better and this year I am very proud of you, in how you gave your rationales. They were thought out well. “You had some conviction behind what you were talking about and that’s important because, when you have an idea and you want to sell that idea, you have to have a reason for it and that’s why, in government, when government acts, there’s a reason why they act and that is because they want to better our community,” Mr. Richens said. “I think you are going to be great leaders in the future,” the superintendent added.

Just weeks after the March of Dimes hosted WalkAmerica in Belmar, the organization announced that an estimated $365,000 was raised in Monmouth County, through the WalkAmerica events which were held in nine different locations, in support of the March of Dimes fight to save babies from premature birth and other serious threats to infant health. Premature birth is the leading killer of newborns. As the March of Dimes

By Dan Zomack At its public meeting last Wednesday, the Wall Township Committee unanimously voted to pass the budget for the 2007 calendar year, which is set at $30,518,032 for municipal purposes. The 2007 tentative budget reflects an increase of $1,268,643 from the 2006 budget of $29,249,389. The amount of the 2007 budget to be raised through local taxation is $18,715,462, an increase of $1,145,958 from the 2006 year. The average assessed value of a home in the township is $312,000. In 2006, the average assessed home did not see an increase in the municipal tax. Under the 2007 budget, the amount that average home will be assessed for municipal taxes will increase by $75, to $1,526. The 2006 municipal tax for the average assessed home was $1,451. Township Administrator Joseph L. Verruni said the increase will be 2.4 cents per $100 of assessed valuation for the 2007 municipal budget. He stated that before he and his finance team, which includes Chief Financial Officer Steve Mayer, started working on the budget, there was a point where the tax increase was set at 4.6 cents per $100 of assessed valuation. However, his staff worked hard to get that number down. “Last year there was no tax increase,” Mr. Verruni stated, adding, “that should be of note.” Mr. Verruni also announced, “I am pleased to say for the fourteenth year in a row, there will be no tax increase” on the water and sewer fee. According to Mr. Mayer, reasons for the 2007 tax increase included $777,133 in salary and wage increases, $250,000 in insurance and general liability increases and $387,302 in pension cost increases. Mr. Verruni has cited electricity, gas and county surcharges as examples of charges the township has no control over. The amount being applied from surplus to the 2007 budget to offset local taxes is $2.6 million, leaving $2,660,771 remaining in the surplus account. In other meeting news: • The Township Committee honored Wall Police Ptl. Chris Lisewski with a proclamation for saving the life of a bicyclist after he was struck by a motor vehicle. On Friday, July 27, Ptl. Lisewski responded to Belmar Boulevard after a bicyclist was struck by a passing vehicle in what Wall Police Chief David Morris referred to as a “serious” accident. The bicyclist suffered a life threatening injury to his arm which severed his artery. Ptl. Lisewski treated the injury by applying a tourniquet to the arm to control the bleeding. The actions of Ptl. Lisewski saved the individual’s life, according to the emergency room doctor, Chief Morris said. • There were more heroes to honor at the meeting, as the Wall

By Caren Caterina Atlantic Farms, on Atlantic Avenue in Wall, held its annual Sheep Shearing Day over the weekend from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., giving visitors a close-up look as the farm’s resident sheep got sheared. “This is an annual sheep shearing day,” said Atlantic Farms owner and Wall Mayor John Tobia, estimating that more than 1,000 people come out to enjoy the event throughout the course of the day. “We open it to the public so children can experience one more aspect of agriculture.” Mayor Tobia said the farm currently has 18 sheep, and four babies, with one just a few days old. “There will be more [baby sheep] as the spring goes on,” he added. Pete Brummer, an independent, professional sheep shearer from the Harrisburg, Pa. area, has been coming to Atlantic Farms for more than 15 years to give them their cuts. “He knows exactly how to handle the sheep,” said Mayor Tobia. Part of the handling includes holding the sheep steady in a certain position, which helps the animal to relax while getting shorn. The mayor added, the sheep actually enjoy getting their cuts. “The temperatures are start-

The wool is then donated to people in the area, including folks who do spinning at home,

In addition, tickets will be drawn randomly to award prizes donated by local businesses. “It’s an event where parents who don’t have angling ability or know much about fishing, have the opportunity to bring their children and learn,” Tom Grasso, Public Works Supervisor for Special Projects said. “We teach catch and release at the event” Mr. Grasso added. “The biggest thing we stress is not to harm the fish, as well as the conservation aspect so the kids can come back in the future and have a good time.” Mr. Grasso said the event, which drew 75 to 100 participants last year, will be even bigger this year. “It’s a good day with family and friends,” said Mr. Grasso. There will be nature talks about species native to the area. There will also be special nature exhibits that the kids will especially enjoy. The pond will be stocked with bluegills, large mouth bass, yellow perch and channel catfish. The Annual Fishing Derby will take place on Sunday, May 20 from 8 to 11 a.m. The event will take place at Lower Kessler Pond adjacent to the bike path off Hospital Road. The derby is open to Wall Township children up to 12 years old. The children must be accompanied by an adult. There will be plenty of surprises for the kids including rods, reels, fishing tackle and other special gifts. Please bring your own equipment and bait. Dress for the weather as the derby will take place rain or shine. There is no fee or registration required. Call 732-449-2700 with questions.

and even to historical societies in the county who want it,” said the mayor. “They’ll clean the wool and spin it for the yarn.” The various sheep getting sheared included Jacobs, that Mayor Tobia said have “four horns and are multi-colored” and Dorsets and Sulfolks. He said all the sheep provide different textured wool. Dan and Dawne Mechlinski, and their two children Andrew, 8, and Amanda, 5, of Wall, enjoyed coming to see the sheep. “I think it’s awesome that we have this in our backyard,” said Mrs. Mechlinski. “It’s such a community area.” Lisa Alger, of Wall Township, with her daughter, Ryan, 7, was also excited to be at the sheep shearing day. “We got to pet the baby sheep,” said Mrs. Alger, which she noted was only two days old. Mrs. Alger said that every year, the event has been a bit different. She said that last year, the farm had spinners on site that showed attendees the process pf turning wool into yarn. One part of the process is called carding, a method used to prepare the wool for spinning, by using wooden cards with wire teeth to help stretch and clean the wool. “Sooner or later, it looks like cotton,” said Mrs. Alger, adding that it is spun until it becomes the yarn. Mr. Brummer also took time between shearings to explain interesting information about the wool to the crowd. He talked about lanolin, the

oil in the wool that is then extracted to be used for various products, such as soaps or lotions. “You can only get lanolin from sheep,” said Mr. Brummer. Mr. Brummer’s farm in Pennsylvania, called Happy Breeze Farm, is family-owned, and there, he will shear up to 200 sheep in an eight-hour day, with each sheep giving between six to eight pounds of raw wool. It takes about eight pounds of the raw wool to make one sweater, said Mr. Brummer. Mr. Brummer said he also enjoys his yearly trip to Atlantic Farms. “It’s a nice place for the kids to see the animals,” said Mr. Brummer. The sheep, as well as the majority of other animals on Atlantic Farm, are rescued from abused or neglected environments said the mayor. None of the animals are used for food, so they are on the farm to “live out their lives naturally.” The 350 acres of the farm in Wall Township are also home to a farm market and animal play area, where Mayor Tobia said people can experience the different agriculture, such as with school trips. Besides the Sheep Shearing Day, Mayor Tobia said visitors also enjoy the other various activities throughout the year, including hayrides, milking demonstrations and even antique to modern farm equipment displays.

Wall Township

Wall Police Capt. Sullivan found not guilty of DWI — FROM PAGE 1 — “The bottom line of this whole thing is [Capt. Sullivan] has to be proven [guilty] beyond a reasonable doubt,” said Judge Himelman, who also said he believed a jury would not have believed the testimony of Ptl. Verrecchia. The judge said it “seemed like a very large coincidence to me” that Ptl. Verrecchia would leave his post that evening to go work in another post, one that Capt. Sullivan just happened to be traveling in on that night. Ptl. Verrecchia was assigned to be in Zone 4 that night, located in the southern portion of the township, but had sought the permission of his supervisor, Sgt. Frank Lancellotti, at the beginning of the shift, to “float,” or conduct traffic enforcement outside of his assigned zone. The arrest took place in Zone 2, which is three miles to the north of the zone where Ptl. Verrecchia was assigned to be that evening. At the trial last Tuesday, Ptl. Verrecchia claimed he did not initially know the vehicle he was pulling over belonged to his superior officer, a claim Judge Himelman said he did not believe. “I frankly don’t believe him. He recognized the car,” the judge stated. The judge said the “reasonable doubt” for him began in the testimony and arrest report of Ptl. Verrecchia, who stated that Capt. Sullivan was “staggering” and falling over, yet in a surveillance video of Capt. Sullivan taken at Wall Police Headquarters approximately one hour after the motor vehicle stop, Capt. Sullivan does

not appear to be “staggering” as described in the arresting officer’s testimony. Last Tuesday, defense attorney James Fagen, Freehold, introduced the surveillance tape of Capt. Sullivan in police custody. “The surveillance tape surprised me,” Judge Himelman admitted, while adding, “I didn’t see him staggering or falling.” Another aspect of the arrest that especially bothered Judge Himelman was that no one else verified the results of the Breathalyzer test that Ptl. Verrecchia administered. Wall Police policy requires the arresting officer to conduct the Breathalyzer test, and does not require there to be another party to witness the results. The judge said Ptl. Verrecchia should have used better judgement when conducting the test and brought in another officer to witness the testing, considering the two officers’ contentious history. The judge was referencing the fact that Ptl. Verrecchia is part of a pending federal lawsuit filed against the township and police officials by the rank-and-file officers. The officers allege the police administration placed hidden cameras in the officers’ locker room in an attempt to find the person responsible for placing racially prejudiced notes in a minority officer’s locker. The officers claim the cameras violated their right to privacy. Ptl. Verrecchia has also been disciplined by Capt. Sullivan in the past. Capt. Sullivan registered a .19 and .20 Blood Alcohol Content on the Breathalyzer, above the

legal limit for driving of .08, according to Ptl. Verrechia’s report. The Breathalyzer does not give out a printed reading of its test results. Rather, the officer writes down the machine’s reading. After stating his not guilty verdict, Judge Himelman said the Township of Wall should not have taken away Capt. Sullivan’s appointment as chief of police prior to the DWI trial verdict. Capt. Sullivan was unanimously appointed on Jan. 24 by the Wall Township Committee to become the town’s next police chief, to replace retiring Chief Roy Hall. Capt. Sullivan was set to begin the $130,000 per year position effective Feb. 1. That promotion was rescinded after the arrest, and then-Capt. David Morris assumed temporary control of the department. Capt. Morris was selected by the township committee at an executive meeting on Feb. 7 to be the new chief of police. Red Bank Municipal Prosecutor James Butler said he was “shocked” and did not anticipate the not guilty verdict. “These guys [Ptl. Verrecchia and Sgt. Lancellotti] didn’t do anything wrong. They did their job,” said Mr. Butler. When asked what the verdict means to him, Mr. Butler immediately replied, “It says don’t arrest a cop.” This sentiment was shared by Ptl. Verrecchia, who stated the verdict sends a wrong message to the public. Ptl. Verrecchia said he takes his police oath very seriously and said, “I will never, ever, let someone drunk drive away,” even if that

person happens to be a fellow police officer. “It makes me feel like I don’t make a difference,” Ptl. Verrecchia said, who added, “It makes me not want to be a cop anymore.” “It is the most disgusting and disturbing outcome possible,” Ptl. Verrecchia stated. Ptl. Verrecchia said that for the past four months, he has been under a tremendous amount of stress because of the case. “At the end of the day, I know I did the right thing,” Ptl. Verrecchia added. Sgt. Lancellotti, who assisted Ptl. Verrecchia at the DWI stop, was also upset at the verdict. “The justice system has failed me miserably” and “my town has failed me,” Sgt. Lancellotti went on to say. “I hold nobody above the law” said Sgt. Lancellotti. When asked how he feels now that he must go back to work and have Capt. Sullivan as his supervisor, Sgt. Lancellotti said he feels “like a giant target.” Ptl. Verrecchia and Sgt. Lancellotti said they were told by township officials not to talk to the media about the case, but both men feel they were slandered inside the courtroom, and were upset they did not receive any support from the police administration or the township committee. “What are they going to do to me now? They already called me a liar in court,” Sgt. Lancellotti said. Wall Mayor John Tobia said the verdict marked a “sad day for the Wall Township Police Department and the Township of Wall.” Wall Police Chief Morris only said, “I’ll respect the court’s deci-

WHIP holds 19th Annual Golf Outing By Dan Zomack For 18 years, Wall Helps Its People, or WHIP as it is more commonly known, has been holding an annual golf outing, but what makes it different this year — its nineteenth — was that the outing was held in honor of one of its founders who recently passed away, Elizabeth “Betty” M. Ryan. About 55 golfers came out to support WHIP and remember Mrs. Ryan last Monday at the Lakewood Country Club where the fund-raiser was held, Dave Rible, WHIP co-chairman, stated. “It was a great crowd,” Mr. Rible added, saying those who came out enabled the organization to raise $6,000 for the nonprofit organization. What made the day even more special for Mr. Rible and those who attended, was when WHIP honored Mrs. Ryan at the luncheon and awarded her family with a recognition award for her years of tireless work for the group. Many years ago, Mrs. Ryan, a charter member, and a small group of people felt they needed to start an organization that would give back to the residents

of Wall when they were in a time of need. The small group started WHIP, a non-profit service organization composed of volunteers who work together to provide assistance to local residents in times of crisis. Funds are raised solely by donation. Mrs. Ryan was also the Municipal Welfare Director in Wall for over 35 years before retiring in 2005. She also served as a member of the Board of Governors of the State Municipal Welfare Association, as well as the Manasquan Elks BPOE No. 2534 Ladies Auxiliary, serving as their Lady of the Year from 1993 to 1994. The members of WHIP believed it was appropriate to honor Mrs. Ryan for all of her hard work and dedication over the years to the people of Wall by holding their annual Golf Outing in her honor, an event she always cherished. Dave Rible, an honorary chairman of WHIP, said that Mrs. Ryan was a “dedicated person who helped the community.” “She truly enjoyed her job and never missed a meeting,” Mr. Rible said.

sion,” when asked about the verdict, and referred all other questions to Township Administrator Joseph Verruni. When asked what the next step is for the Wall Township Committee, as well as if there would be any personnel changes within the police department, Mr.Verruni said all positions will remain as they currently are. Mr. Verruni added he would “make the personnel decision accordingly, once I have the opportunity to talk to Chief Morris and Township Attorney Roger McLaughlin.” When Mr. McLaughlin was asked if Capt. Sullivan would be disciplined by the department for what Judge Himelman referred to as “inappropriate conduct” at the road side stop, Mr. McLaughlin replied, “We’ve ordered a transcript of the judge’s decision and it will be reviewed in detail. “There is a possibility there could be disciplinary action based on the transcript,” Mr. McLaughlin further stated. As for Judge Himelman’s statement that the township should not have rescinded Capt. Sullivan’s appointment as chief before the DWI trial was held, Mr. McLaughlin replied, “We appreciate [ Judge Himelman’s] right to make the comments, but the decision of the township committee to rescind the appointment was made with the assumption Capt. Sullivan was innocent unless proven guilty.” The decision to rescind the appointment was “done in the best interest of the township,” Mr. McLaughlin further stated. When asked what other factors led the Wall Township Committee to take the appointment away, Mr. McLaughlin said it was a personnel decision and he could not comment further on that. Capt. Sullivan could not be reached by for comment.

Dave Rible, co-chairman for Wall Helps Its People, or WHIP as it is more commonly known, hit a shot Monday morning at Lakewood Country Club for the organization’s 19th Annual Golf Outing to raise funds for those in need.

Mr. Rible believes the golf outing is an important event because 100 percent of the money raised “goes strictly to helping people.” “If they [Wall families] can’t pay a utility bill or put food on the table, we help them out,” said Mr. Rible. At the Awards Luncheon, the

Presidents Award was given to the Wall Township Police Benevolent Association (PBA). Mr. Rible said the PBA received the award because the community oriented group has always supported WHIP by having members help out at WHIP functions in the Township as well as with monetary donations.

DEL PONTE’S BAKERY

Police Department adds new K-9 officer to its ranks By Caren Caterina The newest member of the Bradley Beach Police Department is ready to protect and serve the borough’s citizens. “He’s a full-time officer. He’s a full-time cop,” said Ptl. William Major. But while this officer may be the new kid on the block, he is far from the ordinary police academy graduate. Max, a 2-and-one-half-yearold German Shepherd Dog, is part of the K-9 Unit at the Bradley Beach Police Department, and spent 16 weeks in rigorous training with Ptl. Major, his handler. “He works four nights a week, from 6 p.m. to 4 a.m.,” stated Ptl. Major. Max’s first official shift was on May 5, and the officer said they did a DWI patrol together.

The idea for the K-9 Unit began in 2006, when Police Chief Leonard Guida was acting chief, and was open to new programs, “and one I was considering, was a K-9,” said Chief Guida. Ptl. Major, 27, who began working as a part-time special officer with the police department in 2003, before becoming full-time officer in 2005, told Chief Guida he would like to be part of the K-9 Unit. “I expressed interest in being a K-9 handler,” said Ptl. Major. He added that Chief Guida had agreed that establishing a K9 Unit would be beneficial to the department. The department has borrowed, in the past, K-9 officers from other municipalities, including Wall Township and Tinton Falls, for various incidents. Chief Guida said after he was took over as chief in January, he instituted the program. Ptl. Major said they began working on the K-9 unit within Bradley Beach, and the search for their very own K-9 was on. Max, who was born in Germany, was trained there in apprehending criminals. A K-9 broker, Jerry Azzi, of Ohio, bought Max and brought him back to Ohio. Ptl. Major said during his search for the right K-9 for the borough, he had seen a video of Max doing his work, and he was sold on him, “so, I drove out to Ohio and got him,” he said. Ptl. Major said Max “was shy and quiet the whole way home,” admitting he was a bit nervous, too, about their first meeting. But now that some time has passed, and after experiencing training together, Max and Ptl. Major have become very close. “We’re bonding. Recently, he began letting me rub his belly, to let me know he’s comfortable around me,” said the officer.

CANDICE KENMUIR, The Coast Star

Bradley Beach Police Department Ptl. William Major and his partner, Max, spent 16 weeks training together at a special K-9 academy in Atlantic County.

Max and and Ptl. Major spent Jan. 15 through May 4 at the Atlantic County John Sonny Burke K-9 Academy in Galloway Township, where 12 other handlers and their dogs were also being trained on numerous skills and tactics, including obedience, handler protection, tracking, building and article searches, scent detection and even crowd control. The training included involvement with the K-9 and the handler, in various environments. “It [the training] was difficult, very physical, and a lot of repeti-

tion,” added Ptl. Major. And not only does Max respond to commands from Ptl. Major using hand signals and his voice, but he is also bilingual. “He knows both English and German,” said Ptl. Major. Max was also trained to only listen to his handler. “He won’t come out of the car, unless I tell him to,” added Ptl. Major. Max can also help other municipalities, who may need help from a K-9. “We’re available to assist any department requesting K-9, as

By Caren Caterina Billy Harkowsky, of The Lizard Guys, entertained and delighted nearly 40 children and their parents on Tuesday at the Bradley Beach Public Library with a variety of lizards, amphibians and reptiles. The kids sat in a circle, filled with curiosity and excitement, as Mr. Harkowsky, known as Silly Billy, showed the children several animals, one at a time, explaining everything from the geographical location of the particular animal to the parts of its body. The first animal Mr. Harkowsky showed to the children, was an African Fat-tailed Gecko. “This is a new tail,” he said, explaining to the children that they actually sever their own tails

to get away from predators. Out of approximately 800 species of geckos, Mr. Harkowsky said there are only two that are poisonous. Next, in a brown cloth bag, children screamed with excitement as he pulled out a snake. “Boys and girls, this snake is not dangerous,” he stated. The snake, a San Diego Gopher Snake, is special, Mr. Harkowsky said, due to it being an albino. “I got him when he was a month old,” he said of the 7year-old snake. Mr. Harkowsky explained to the children that while some snakes that shed their skin eat it, some leave their skin on the ground, such as this type. He also explained other interesting facts about the snake, such as

they cannot blink, and that they stick out their tongue to smell. Another type of animal that the students saw was an African Bullfrog. Frogs and toads are the largest group of amphibians, said Mr. Harkowsky, and the African Bullfrog is the second largest specie of frogs on the planet, he added, second to the Goliath Frog in Africa. Though these frogs have quite a palate, ranging from birds, lizards, small snakes, to eating other African Bullfrogs, the frogs can also go on a fast. “He can sit in the mud, not eating, for a year,” said Mr. Harkowsky, “and he won’t starve.” Next, the children looked at a

part of a mutual aid agreement,” said Ptl. Major. “It’s [K-9 Unit] a great tool in law enforcement, especially in the increase in violent crimes surrounding Bradley Beach,” stated Chief Guida. The chief stated that Max will be a drug-sniffing dog, and also involved with tracking, in the event there needs to be an immediate search for a victim or a suspect. Since Max will be on the road quite a bit with his handler, the K-9 vehicle also has a special transport kennel, specially designed for the dog, said Chief Guida. The kennel includes an aluminum cage, ventilated windows, rubber flooring, and a “doggie door” that leads from the back seat to the front, so that Max can get out of the car faster. The transport kennel was installed in the back of the car by the borough’s public works department. While the transport kennel can be costly, the department was fortunate to have one donated by the New Jersey State Police, K-9 Unit, South Region. Sgt. Chris Quirk, of the State Police K-9 Unit South Region, said he met Ptl. Major while assisting in the training at the academy in Atlantic County. The sergeant said that Ptl. Major had mentioned the department’s new K-9 Unit, and that he hoped to find a donated kennel for the K-9 vehicle. Sgt. Quirk was able to help locate an extra transport kennel and donate it to Bradley Beach. A new transport kennel, he approximated, can run as much as $1,500. “A lot of items were donated by different individuals, and I’m appreciative of all of them,” said Chief Guida. Chief Guida said the police department is excited about the K-9 Unit’s implementation. “I think everyone’s excited to have Max on board. He will be used in a number of capacities,” said Chief Guida, including patrol and community policing. The chief said a lot of the credit goes to Ptl. Major for all his hard work on the program. “Ptl. Major was a huge help in putting the program together,” said Chief Guida. “He reached out for the information and made contacts with various people. He’s responsible for a huge portion of the effort for obtaining the K-9.” Max will stay with the department for at least five to six years before retiring, and then Ptl. Major said he will keep him as his pet. “He’s my roommate and my partner,” said Ptl. Major. The chief announced that people will get a chance to meet Bradley Beach Police Department’s newest recruit. “I intend to officially introduce Max to the borough, on May 22, at the mayor and council meeting,” said Chief Guida.

Bradley Beach

Ascension Church celebrates 100 years in Bradley Beach “We all work together,” he stated. The historical committee worked to put together a special collection for the 100-year celebration, that included old photographs and documents found in the rectory of the church, as well as memorabilia donated by longtime members of the parish, including items dating back as far as 1907. The collection, put together in a meticulous display, can fill up an entire room, and will be displayed for the celebration. “Picture having a dedication ceremony, from May 1907, and having it photographed,” said Mr. Shaughnessy, as he pointed to a black-and-white photograph of the church being built. Construction of Ascension Church began in 1907, and the cornerstone was laid in 1910. The cost to build the entire church was approximately $20,000. The rectory was built in 1913 at a cost of $12,000. The Rev. Nolan said the church was formed as a mission to Holy Spirit Church in Asbury Park by the Rev. Thomas Roache, due to growing population in the area. Bradley Beach founder, James Bradley, donated the property on which the church was built. “Catholicism was growing in the Shore area, and for 100 years, the parish has flourished,” said the Rev. Nolan. “And it’s bigger now than it’s ever been.” Much of the parish is made up of people from Bradley Beach, Neptune and Ocean Grove. The Rev. Nolan said one of the main reasons for the growing parish is that summer residents are now making the area their permanent homes. Monsignor John J. O’Hara, born in Chatham was appointed as pastor of the church in 1909. Mr. Shaughnessy said while the church was being built the

The Rev. Jerome Nolan has presided over Ascension Church for the last two and one-half years.

congregation met at the school and a Newark Avenue casino for Masses. At the time, the congregation numbered about 150, a figure which, over the course of a century, has grown into approximately 650 families that attend church between the four Masses on Sundays. “The church is filled at every Mass,” said the Rev. Nolan. The church fits about 300 people. The Ascension Center was built in 1962 in the back of the church, which has a basketball court and even a kitchen. The Rev. Nolan said the center was “a place for all the parish activities, which is very important to the parish.” He also said

the center is used as a religious education center for the children. The Rev. Nolan said that Monsignor O’Hara experienced many challenges over the years at the church. The Ascension Church experienced many trials, tribulations and changes, throughout its history, including a fire. “The church did have a fire in the 1960s, and it really did a lot of damage,” said the Rev. Nolan. “But, monsignor was able to restore it, really, to its original condition,” after he located the son of the man who did all the artwork in the church, and was able to found the artist’s original sketches.

The fire started on Nov. 8, 1967. “Now you can imagine that you were in the rectory,” said Mr. Shaughnessy, “and monsignor was there, and this fire was in full bloom. The firemen are here, and he doesn’t want to leave the rectory, he wants to stay with his church.” Mr. Shaughnessy said Monsignor O’Hara stayed behind in 2 feet of water because he refused to leave his church, even after the firefighters had left. “And he was not a young man at the time,” said Mr. Shaughnessy, estimating the monsignor was about 87 years old at the time of the blaze. “That’s the kind of person he was. He made a point that he was going to rebuild this church,” said Mr. Shaughnessy. “He said, ‘I will rebuild this church.’” And 18 months later, the church was rebuilt. Over the years, the Rev. Nolan said, the interior of the church has changed very little, except for renovations made in the 1960s to conform to changes mandated by Vatican II. He described Vatican II, as a meeting in Rome of the Catholic hierarchies of the world in the 1960s. “And on the agenda, was to bring church into contemporary society.” For example, Masses were changed from Latin into the respective languages of Catholic parishes in 1965. The Vatican II was a “Ecumenical movement of churches, so we all reach out to each other in friendship,” stated the Rev. Nolan. “It influenced all the churches, it’s brought us all together.” Mr. Shaughnessy also stated, for example, when the Ascension Church had the fire, other churches and even syna-

the Blarney Stone, kissed the Blarney Stone,” said Mr. Shaughnessy. The Rev. Nolan, was born in Neptune, and raised in Brooklyn, N.Y. After attending two seminaries for eight years, he graduated from St. Bonaventure University in N.Y. with a bachelor of arts degree in philosophy, before being ordained in May 1974. For the last 33 years, the Rev. Nolan has served in six other parishes prior to coming to the Ascension Church. The Rev. Nolan said that celebrating 100 years is very special, not only to him, but the parish, too. “The whole meaning of it is, it’s a wonderful testimony to the tradition of our Catholic faith,” said the Rev. Nolan. “This parish is unique, because it’s very stable. Many parishioners have been there many years of their lives,” adding that some of them are in their 90s. “We’re going to have people coming from Florida and North Carolina that have retired and moved, who want to come back and celebrate,” said Mr. Shaughnessy. The Rev. Nolan is very excited about the centennial celebration. “It’s a great joy to be at a parish that’s 100 years old,” he said, adding that it “gives you a wonderful opportunity to look to many years of the past, and to think of all the faithful people that have gone through this church.” And with more years to come, the Rev. Nolan said he will continue staying with Ascension Church. “I hope to be here until my retirement,” said the Rev. Nolan. “It’s a wonderful parish, with dedicated people.”

gogues in the area, opened their doors asking if the church wanted to hold Masses at their locations until the building could be reconstructed. “That’s ecumenical,” said Mr. Shaughnessy. “The parish is very much alive in spirit of Vatican II,” said the the Rev. Nolan, adding that the parishioners are both socially and spiritually involved within the church. Another important facet of the church is also the parishioners being social with one another, and enjoying activities together. Mr. Shaughnessy said that Monsignor O’Hara instilled in the congregation that “he wanted people to be together religiously, and as friends.” “This is a church that believes in having some fun, and getting together as a group, and brings about a lot of good feelings between parishioners,” said Mr. Shaughnessy. “We just don’t come and go on a Sunday.” “I want people to feel welcome that this is their spiritual home, and to tap into their talents and share them with the church,” said the Rev. Nolan.” After 50 years of being a priest, the Ascension Church threw a big 50th Jubilee for Monsignor O’Hara, before he retired in January of 1972. He died later the same year, at the age of 93. The Rev. Samuel Constance then took over, who Mr. Shaughnessy said “was like a son to Monsignor O’Hara.” Throughout the years, the parish has enjoyed many activities together, including an international food festival, a casino night, picnics on the beach, and even Irish step-dancing. In 1997, members from the parish went on a trip together to Ireland. “We would go from one historical site to the next. People who never had the chance to kiss

By Caren Caterina A Bradley Beach parish is gearing up for its 100th anniversary celebration, and many in the area are looking forward to the festivities. The Ascension Church on Brinley Avenue will be celebrating its centennial on Sunday, May 20, where the Most Rev. John M. Smith, the Bishop of the Diocese of Trenton, will help celebrate the noon Mass. “He will be joined by many former priests of the parish,” said the Rev. Jerome Nolan, who has been presiding over the church for the last two and onehalf years. Afterwards, the parish will join in a light reception at the church’s Monsignor O’Hara Hall, before continuing the celebration with a special dinner at Doolan’s in Spring Lake Heights. Besides celebrating through the special Mass and dinner, the Rev. Nolan said the festivities will also include dancing, with music by a band called Smooth Sailing. Bradley Beach Mayor Stephen Schueler, said he also plans on attending the dinner, to help honor the church’s centennial celebration, because of its impact on the community. “I’m going to their dinner to present a proclamation on how important the church has been in our community, that has taught morals and ethics to our parishioners,” the mayor said. Reaching 100 years is no small feat, and a lot can happen over the course of a century. One of Ascension Church’s longtime parishioners, Jack Shaughnessy, of Neptune, also serves on the church’s historical committee, that was established last year, specifically for the centennial anniversary. Mr. Shaughnessy said no one in particular chairs the committee.

Gee Gee’s takes control of summer volleyball league By Nick Malfitano Leggett’s Sand Bar, which had sponsored an annual volleyball league at the beachfront for many years, will not be doing so this summer, according to Paul Cisek of Leggett’s. “Actually, it’s going under a new name. We’re forming a new league not associated with Leggett’s,” said Mr. Cisek. When asked why the popular bar and restaurant was no longer holding the league, Mr. Cisek was at a loss for words. “I really don’t know, it became too much, the league is pretty intensive.” Fred Bryant, proprietor of Gee Gee’s on the Beachfront, said on Tuesday that his establishment would be taking over control of the league. Mr. Bryant indicated that the popular league, which attracts hundreds of players every year, will begin registration at Gee Gee’s on Tuesday, May 22 from 5 to 8 p.m. The cost of registration is $400 per team. When asked if Gee Gee’s was looking forward to running the volleyball league, Mr. Bryant’s answer was a very enthusiastic, “absolutely,” and mentioned that last year’s league attracted 125 teams for competition. According to Mr. Bryant, the league will begin on Tuesday, June 12, with tentative start times of 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. The beaches that have been used for competition in the past, those being the softball beach, the Main Street beach and the beach on Brielle Road, will again be used, said Mr. Bryant. Mr. Bryant also mentioned that there will be co-ed “A” and “B” teams and a mens division. Mr. Bryant said that “a lot of people were disappointed” when

they heard that Leggett’s was no longer running the volleyball league, so Mr. Bryant said that he made some calls to the town and secured control of the league. Participants can save money and get “the same great fun” that they have had in years past, Mr. Bryant said, noting that the price of the league this year is lower than in past years.

University in 2003. “We all knew we lost a great friend,” said foundation president and trustee Brian Neuwirth of Mr. Girard. “We were sure that Jimmie would want us to continue his legacy of having fun and doing good things for people, so we decided to form this foundation in his name and memory. He enjoyed playing hockey and having a good time. None of his friends will forget that.” The Jim Girard Scholarship Foundation was established in 2006 by Neuwirth and four of Mr. Girard’s other local friends, Joe Accisano, Jim Fagen, Eric Larkin and John Michals. “Jimmie was my life-long, best friend,” said Mr. Larkin. “I’ll

Council discusses parking lot damage, keg tagging By Nick Malfitano At Monday night’s work session meeting of the mayor and council, the issue of damage at the Fourth Avenue municipal parking lot was discussed. Local children and teens often use the parking lot as a makeshift sports recreation area, which has led to wear and tear on the side of the garage adjacent to the parking lot. During a prior meeting, Mayor Richard Dunne and members of council had introduced discussion regarding the problem with Municipal Administrator John Trengrove. The governing body then chose to table discussion so that time could be spent devising solutions to the issue. Mr. Trengrove suggested an “intermediate step” of sending out letters to the residents in the area of the property, and then if

the damage to the side of the building is not abated, to follow up with criminal complaints or seeking monetary damages from those caught damaging borough property. Councilman George Dempsey suggested instructing the police to confiscate the sports equipment from the area and see who attempts to retrieve it. Councilman Joseph Lucas also suggested warning the residents with a letter, then confiscating the equipment and not returning it to the residents to whom it belongs. Borough Attorney Ken Fitzsimmons said that there may be consequences to such actions, and suggested the council stay on the topic of how to reduce damage to the garage. Councilman Ron Jacobson said the damage being done at the municipal parking lot is not malicious and that the children responsible will go someplace else, such as into the street, if access to the parking lot is restricted. The councilman added that he believed contacting the Manasquan Recreation Department would be a good follow-up idea. Councilman William Giunco suggested “protecting borough assets” with a chain-link fence surrounding the garage. Councilman Michael Mangan said the matter could be transferred to the Public Property and Parks Committee, whereby Councilman Giunco volunteered to take the discussion to his committee. In other meeting news:

Konopka named VP at Manasquan Savings Bank Peter M. Brown, president and CEO of Manasquan Savings Bank, announced recently that Joan C. Konopka has been appointed Vice President of Human Resources, M r s . Konopka has served 15 years in the human resources field, seven of which have been in the banking JOAN i n d u s t r y. KONOPKA She was p re v i o u s l y employed with Sun National Bank and Community Bank of New Jersey. Mr. Brown commented, “Joan’s expertise in human resources compliments our growth plans. She will assure that our employees are prepared to serve our customer base. We’re very happy she has joined our community bank.” Mrs. Konopka is a member of the Society for Human Resource Management and resides with her husband in Toms River. Manasquan Savings Bank, with assets of over $75 million, has been serving the communities of Monmouth and Ocean counties since 1874. Currently, there are six offices: Manasquan and Wall Township, Bay Head, Howell Township, Spring Lake Heights and Brick. A new branch in Point Pleasant is set to open sometime this summer.

• Mayor Dunne re-introduced discussion of a keg-tagging ordinance for Manasquan, to trace the sale of beer kegs to customers. The mayor said that he received a brochure from the National Council on Alcohol and Drug Dependence, and added that an ordinance of this kind “would be a step in the right direction,” citing survey results from Manasquan High School that showed underage alcohol use there to be a serious problem. Councilman Mangan said the council did not want to hurt any local businesses, and said the reason the original talks were tabled was that the governing body wanted to see if other towns adopted similar legislation. The mayor replied that keg-tagging ordinances had been adopted by both Belmar and Lake Como, and added that Manasquan should “take some initiative” regarding this “pervasive” issue. • The council briefly discussed the Manasquan/Brielle Little League license agreement, which allows the sports to program to use the field for a fee, as the borough of Manasquan owns the land on which it is located. Councilman Jacobson said that the noise levels at the field should continue to be monitored, and that the language of the agreement should reflect that progress. The council decided to vote on it at the next public meeting on May 21. • The council reviewed a franchise agreement with New Jersey Natural Gas, which asked for a 25-year agreement with the borough. The mayor suggested maintaining the current agreement with New Jersey Natural Gas, which stipulates a 5-year commitment. • Discussion continued on the Manasquan Board of Education’s recently defeated budget. Councilman Jeff Lee said the resolution deadline is May 21, and that another meeting of the budget examining committee was taking place soon. The school budget was shot down by Manasquan voters in the April 17 election, and the committee is reviewing it for possible cuts. • The governing body again discussed the funding of an

examination of the beach and sand dunes by a professional specialist. Councilman Dempsey said that he had called Dr. Michael Bruno from the Stevens Institute of Technology, who informed him that the institute has a grant with the Department of Environmental [DEP] where they would provide a specialist, Tom Harrington, at no cost to the borough. “If anything, I would rather see us save money,” said Councilman Dempsey. • Two uses of borough property were approved, those for the Squan Beach Life Saving Station on various dates in June, and for the “Elks Day at the Beach” on July 31. According to Preservation Committee member John Tischio, the public will be able to tour the Squan Beach Life Saving Station next month, on June 8 from 4 to 7 p.m., and on June 9 and 10 from noon to 5 p.m. • An update on the borough Web site was provided by Councilman Lee, who said that the final touches are being applied, and that the borough will see a prototype of the “dynamic Web site” next week. Moreover, the councilman stated that Borough Clerk Colleen Scimeca reported that City Connections, the Web site developer, has been completely professional. Councilman Mangan asked other council members to help the clerk with the data flow for the Web site. • Mr. Trengrove asked for direction on the Stockton Park project, as last year a grant was applied for tennis courts and lighting. In the grant, $180,000 would go for new tennis courts and $120,000 for the lighting, a total of $300,000, according to Councilman Jacobson. However, Mr. Trengrove later clarified that the grant was a matching grant in conjunction with Monmouth County. Therefore, it would cost the borough $90,000 for the tennis courts and $60,000 for the lighting, a total of $150,000. Councilman Jacobson expressed his opposition to the lighting at the proposed courts. Councilman Mangan said he was torn on the issue of expanding recreation versus not being sure if the amount of use of the town courts receive would justify

their purchase. The mayor inquired as to the demand for late-night tennis and expanding the park, also saying that the grant would need to be obtained before the council could progress with discussion of the project. • A petition from the junior and senior classes of Manasquan High School was presented to the mayor and members of council, which asked for the removal of two-hour parking during school hours on streets surrounding the school, such as Broad Street and Atlantic Avenue. Citing safety concerns with Broad Street, the request was transferred to the Public Safety Committee, headed by Councilman Lucas. • In committee reports, Councilman Jacobson reminded the public that it was bulk pickup week, and that the community would be allowed to put heavy items like chairs and tables out to the curb. Also, the councilman said the public works department has been very busy re-lining the streets, and will be done one week ahead of schedule. • Councilman Dempsey said that the Manasquan Tourism Commission is considering having a circus perform in the Pompano Avenue parking lot as a fund-raiser for the commission on Aug. 14. Councilman Dempsey stated that the Tourism Commission would seek consent from the county first, and if that was granted, will return to the borough council for its approval in the near future. Also, the beach bathrooms will continue to be open on weekends until the official beach opening in June, according to the councilman. • Ted Meshnick of 1261 Allenwood Road in Wall Township stated that he was familiar with the legal issues of muster zones, and offered his help to the governing body in this area. The council was discussing the matter and its effects on the borough in a closed session meeting with Police Chief Daniel Scimeca prior to the work session. Council members refused to comment on the status of those discussions.

Manasquan

Resident wants borough property to stay pristine By Nick Malfitano Block 75.01, Lot 1.01. For many residents, those property designations are of no consequence. However, they are very important to one borough resident who passionately believes that this property, which is owned by the borough, should be left alone. “It’s the last true public access in Manasquan,” stated borough resident Gerry McAvoy, referring to a secluded beach near the Glimmer Glass area, past a sandy path on the bend at Warren Avenue and Perrine Boulevard. “I want this property to remain natural.” Mr. McAvoy’s concern stems from the beach’s proximity to a residential property located at 265 Perrine Boulevard owned by David Martens, which contains structures that currently encroach onto the borough lot, including a tree, a shed and a dock. On Monday while giving a tour of the beach area Mr. McAvoy also stated his worry with Mr.

Martens’s application to the borough council to create a berm and plant trees in the back of the residence, creating a barrier between the isolated beach and the home. Mr. McAvoy is concerned that Mr. Martens could acquire the beach property over time if he maintains it as his own, a modern-day version of “squatter’s rights.” Mr. McAvoy emphasized that his involvement is as a concerned resident over the fate of the beach property, and holds no personal ill will towards Mr. Martens. Efforts to reach Mr. Martens for comment were unsuccessful. “I want to raise awareness of this issue to the townspeople,” Mr. McAvoy said. The borough’s code enforcement supervisor Neil Hamilton elaborated on Mr. McAvoy’s concerns regarding the property. “The shed is over the [property] line,” said Mr. Hamilton, who stated the homeowner’s intention is to relocate the shed onto their property or dismantle it totally.

“It’s all being worked out and under control,” said Mr. Hamilton. Mr. Hamilton added that when Mr. Martens built an extension of the dock into the Manasquan River some years ago, this action required a state Department of Environmental

Protection [DEP] permit. According to the code supervisor, the homeowners claim they received DEP approval, but that the written notice is currently in storage. On behalf of the borough’s code enforcement department, Mr. Hamilton has requested a copy of that permit.

Algonquin Arts Theatre hires new executive director The Algonquin Arts Board of Trustees announced the appointment on May 9 of Patrick O’Hagan as the new Executive Director of the performing arts center located in Manasquan. M r . O’Hagan has been serving as Director of Development PATRICK for the organO’HAGAN ization since November of last year. The board conducted a nationwide search for a new executive director, interviewing numerous candidates from around the country. During that time, Mr. O’Hagan served as part of an interim management committee headed by acting artistic director Dana Roberts along with director of operations Jane E. Huber. Throughout that period, the trustees were impressed with the smooth and effective working relationship that developed among

this team, and the emerging leadership role Mr. O’Hagan played in helping to shape a renewed vision for the organization’s future. Fran Drew, who with her husband, Jack, founded Algonquin Arts and served as its executive director from 1994 through 2006 said, “It became quite apparent to us as the search process was being conducted that our next executive director was already on board. We met with some really outstanding candidates, but a consensus emerged from among the staff and board of trustees that Patrick had the unique set of qualities needed to lead our organization into its next phase of achievement.” Mr. O’Hagan, a seasoned manager of not-for-profit organizations for more than 30 years, was for the past eight years director of development at George Street Playhouse in New Brunswick, one of the nation’s leading regional theatres. He said that among the important lessons he learned during his time there was the insistent message of its artistic director David Saint, that to attract the

very best talent you must make your theater feel like a home for the artists, “a safe place” where they can feel comfortable enough to give their very best; something he hopes to emulate as he works to bring world-class artists to the 540-seat venue in downtown Manasquan. A resident of Middletown, where he lives with his wife Charlene, an elementary school principal, Mr. O’Hagan says he is inspired by the incredible accomplishments of the Drews in rescuing an abandoned 1930s-era movie house and turning it into a venue that has presented such renowned artists as violinist Midori, the Moscow Classical Ballet, Ailey II Dance Company, and also served for seven years as the home for the noted Two River Theatre Company, and developed some of the strongest arts education programming in the state. “I look forward to working closely with the very talented staff currently in place here to maintain the high caliber of programming already offered. Together with the board of trustees we must also

focus on our vision for the future, to ensure that we fully develop the potential of Algonquin Arts as a cultural leader in the area. That will mean offering an even greater variety of programming that reflects the interests and needs of the people living in our communities. I believe that the arts not only entertain us, they also nourish our spirit. In that sense we have a great responsibility to treat each season as an opportunity to create the most satisfying and enjoyable menu possible for our patrons.” In his first act as executive director, Mr. O’Hagan immediately appointed Dana Roberts as the organization’s permanent artistic director. “Dana demonstrated a remarkable capacity as the acting artistic director, putting together the 2008 season roster that is perhaps one of the strongest we have ever offered. Her willingness to assume this role on a permanent basis was a key element in my decision to accept the executive director position.”

Squan’s Smith is elected to Phi Beta Kappa Lafayette College recently recognized students who were invited this spring to become members of Phi Beta Kappa, the oldest and most respected undergraduate honors organization in the United States. Founded in 1776, Phi Beta Kappa fosters and recognizes excellence in the liberal arts and sciences. Outstanding students from all curricula are eligible for election as juniors or seniors. Heather Patrice Smith of Manasquan, a member of the Class of 2007 who is pursuing a double major in A.B. Economics and Business/Spanish was elected to the society.

Referring to the borough’s future action on the possible approval of the berm and trees, Mr. Hamilton stated, “I don’t know if they [the borough council] are going to do that.” In the public portion of Monday night’s council work session meeting, Mr. McAvoy again brought the council’s attention to the issue. He re-emphasized his statement that the dock, shed and some trees currently encroach on borough property. Mayor Dunne instructed Mr. McAvoy to state his concerns in a letter to the mayor and council, who would then see about getting the issue put on the agenda of a future meeting for discussion.

Council adopts boat, trailer ordinance By Meghan Berry The borough council adopted an ordinance on Monday evening that forbids overnight street parking in residential zones for recreational vehicles, boat trailers, boats, landscape trailers and storage pods. In addition to keeping large vehicles and trailers off the street during overnight hours, the ordinance has also set forth that the same vehicles “shall be permitted to be stored in any yard but shall not be located any closer to a side or rear lot line than a permitted accessory building and shall be located on a durable maintenance-free surface.” Recreational vehicles, boat trailers, boats, landscape trailers and storage pods must also sit at least 10 feet from the front property line. During the construction and renovation of residential property, storage pods and trailers are permitted on the said lot, but must be removed before the property owners obtain a certificate of occupancy, according to the newly adopted ordinance. The zoning ordinance also deems boats “in drydock or storage” and recreational vehicles inhabitable on residential property in Brielle. Finally, the ordinance states, “There shall be no more than two boats and, or one recreational vehicle stored on any residential

lot at one time.” During the hearing of the zoning ordinance, Councilwoman Ann Scott explained that this clause had been amended and was now “less restrictive to boats.” The first version of the ordinance had limited permissible boat storage to one on a residential property, and due to public complaint, the ordinance was returned to the planning board for revision. Lois Hanson, of Summit Place in Brielle, stood during the hearing of the ordinance to ask where her overnight guests with boats in tow can park. Borough Administrator Thomas Nolan suggested that the guest could park in the driveway instead of the street. Borough parking at the municipal building or near the tennis courts are also available with permission from Chief of Police Michael Palmer. “I don’t think anyone would have a problem accommodating you,” Mr. Nolan said. Borough attorney Nicholas Montenegro noted that the borough would not be responsible for any damage to the guest vehicle incurred in the public lots. “You would assume your own liability on that,” Mr. Montenegro said. Following the hearing, the ordinance was unanimously adopted by the council.

By Meghan Berry An 8-year-old boy vandalized some property at the Brielle Public Library on South Street on Saturday, May 12 at 2:24 p.m., Chief Michael Palmer reported. The accused, who a witness reported as having worn a yellow T-shirt and camouflage shorts, smashed a ceramic pot outside the library and smeared the dirt on the library’s exterior book return and tipped over a garbage can, Chief Palmer said. Afterwards, the child dialed 91-1 from the public telephone outside the library and hung up, according to the police chief. After making the call, the chief said the boy ran into the park, where he had been playing with a friend under the care of his friend’s grandfather. An officer responded to the

scene, as a result of the 9-1-1 hang up, where the witness disclosed the account of vandalism. The officer located the juvenile and contacted his father, who called Brielle Librarian Richard Bidnick “for restitution,” according to Chief Palmer. The child cleaned up the broken pieces of the flower pot and picked up the garbage can. He has not been charged for the vandalism. On the same day, police discovered vandalism at the neighboring greenhouse. The screen on the door had been “ripped from top to bottom,” Chief Palmer said, and one container of flowers had been knocked off a table. The 8-year-old who vandalized the library has denied involvement in the damage to the greenhouse, police said.

Brielle class of ‘68 offers scholarship The Brielle Elementary School class of 1968 has organized a memorial scholarship fund in honor of deceased classmates. This award will benefit a graduating Brielle eighth grader annually, beginning in June 2007. Spearheading the effort for the class of 1968 are Dr. Marie Spagnoli, Dan Anderson Bergan, Nancy Guthorn Harrington and Debra Prizer Spering. “We got together for a reunion this past summer,” Dr. Spagnoli explained. “It was wonderful to see our classmates again. We paid tribute to our deceased classmates, including Donald Holmquist, Anthony Taylor and Karen Lee and decided this would be a great way to honor them and make a contribution to the school that gave us our start.” The BES Memorial Scholarship will be presented to a student who exemplifies and embodies the character and qualities of a good citizen. All eighth graders are invited to apply for the scholarship, and each application will be reviewed by the scholar-

ship committee and school guidance counselor to determine the recipient. The application deadline is June 1. “We are in the process of filing for non-profit status and hope to complete that prior to the 2008 award presentation,” said Ms. Guthorn Harrington. “Family members of those honored will be asked to share in the presentation of the scholarship at this year’s June 20 board of education meeting.” She continued, “The award may be used to defray the costs of higher education, computer equipment, special camps or a number of other related educational areas.” Those wishing to donate funds or assist with the drive may contact the committee at BES Memorial Scholarship Fund, PO Box 688, Medford, 08055, or call 215-504-4774. The scholarship committee invites the entire class of 1968 and eighth grade parents to next month’s presentation.

By Meghan Berry An extreme makeover is headed Brielle’s way. Councilman Richard Bolger is spearheading a townwide clean up set for Saturday, while Councilman Paul Nolan has secured a $55,000 grant from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection [NJDEP] to fund the rejuvenation of Brielle Beach. “It’s an idea I’ve been kicking around,” Councilman Bolger said of the beautification project he has organized. All interested borough residents are invited to Curtis House on Saturday at 10 a.m., where Councilman Bolger, who has worked in collaboration with Superintendent of Public Works William Burkhardt, will hand out collection bags and assign volunteers to pick up litter in designated areas. “This is an opportunity to beatify the town at no cost,” the councilman said. Collection bags have been donated by Mr. Burkhardt. “Our greatest natural resource is the beauty of our town,” Councilman Bolger said. After Saturday’s town-wide effort, Brielle Beach will have its own face lift. In March, the council author-

ized Borough Administrator Thomas Nolan to apply to the NJDEP for a grant that would fund the clean up of an area known as Brielle Beach, and at Monday’s council meeting, Councilman Nolan announced that the borough had been awarded the $55,000 grant. Councilman Nolan met with a NJDEP representative two months ago to discuss the possibility of this grant, which is offered by the department to shore towns. Brielle Beach, Councilman Nolan has explained, is located at the end of Magnolia Avenue right off Debbie’s Creek. Councilman Richard Bolger has referred to the overgrown area with frontage on the Manasquan River as “a littleknown jewel in Brielle.” The NJDEP grant will fund the governing body’s clean up of the debris at Brielle Beach to provide a public access point to the river. The council is also entertaining the idea of providing canoe racks on the beach, as well as a play area for children, Councilman Nolan has said. In other news from Monday’s meeting of the governing body: • William Brannick, of Schoolhouse Road, stood to challenge the council’s adoption of one

In both 2005 and 2006, Brielle recycled 200 tons of corrugated cardboard. Borough residents recycled 242 tons of mixed paper in 2005 and 120 tons in 2006. Newspaper tonnage has also decreased with 260 tons in 2005 and 210 tons in 2006. While commingled, non-paper product tonnage is on the rise. Brielle residents recycled 280 tons of commingled products in 2005 and 375 in 2006. “We’re reading less and eating more,” Councilwoman Scott joked. • Councilman Garruzzo announced that the borough’s police boat will be maintained for emergencies, but will not resume its regular patrol this summer. The boat, which cruises the Manasquan River on summer weekends from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. has not generated revenues sufficient to justify its continuation, Councilman Garruzzo said. “We will be saving some man hours,” the councilman said, noting that the Marine Police and Coast Guard will continue to patrol the river. The councilman estimated that it cost the borough $5,000 annually to maintain the summer boat patrol. • The borough’s Second Annual Decoration Day will be held on Sunday, May 27 at 2 p.m., John Belding, the borough historian and president of the Union Landing Historical Society, announced. Decoration Day, now known as Memorial Day, will be observed at the Historic Osborn Family Graveyard on Holly Hill Drive. • Councilwoman Scott read two proclamations during Monday’s meeting, both of which honored two longtime borough organizations celebrating anniversaries.

resolution on the consent agenda that would memorialize the appointment of two Manasquan residents as public works employees in Brielle. Mr. Brannick argued that the part time job openings, which he said would best suit borough students in need of summer work, should have been advertised. “I believe the application should still be open,” Mr. Brannick said. Mr. Nolan explained that he, as borough administrator, had already hired the two men and that the resolution was simply the memorialization of their appointments. Councilman Nolan said that the law does not require the advertisement of part time positions with the borough. Mr. Burkhardt, the public works’ superintendent, explained that the positions required immediate filling because of an employee who left public works on disability. “We were trying to maintain the quality of life for Brielle residents,” Mr. Nolan said of making the appointments. “Mr. Brannick raises a good point,” Councilman Bolger noted. “We should look to our own whenever possible, but I’m ready to adopt this resolution and accept Mr. Burkhardt’s recommendation of these gentlemen.” The governing body unanimously adopted the resolution to appoint Victor Kubu and Sean Price, both of Manasquan, as part time public works employees, but agreed to advertise such job openings in the future. The borough took out a front page reader in this issue of The Coast Star to advise residents that the borough sometimes has openings for temporary part-time help and how to apply for such jobs. • Councilwoman Ann Scott reported on the borough’s recycling in tonnage within the past two years.

After completing 66 hours of service for a Sept. 11, 2001 memorial on Birch and Riverview drives in Brielle, Andrew Mulligan [right], 19, took the oath of an Eagle Scout at the Curtis House last Friday. He began his Eagle Scout project, for which he installed seating and landscaped the surrounding area, in April 2005. Andrew’s mother, Mary Anne [left], pinned her son during the ceremony.

The public is cordially invited to attend a performance by concert pipe organist CJ Sambach at The Church in Brielle, on 821 Riverview Dr., on Sunday, May 20 at 4 p.m. The program is a part of the church’s 50th anniversary celebration. A resident of Brick and an organ performance graduate of Westminster Choir College in Princeton, Mr. Sambach is nationally known for his “audience appeal” programs. Combining bits of humor with interesting explanations and fine musicianship, he makes the music and the organ fun for people of all ages. Mr. Sambach is especially

dedicated to reaching youth and has devoted his performance career to promoting an understanding of and an appreciation for the pipe organ in America. He has been declared by many across the nation as the modern day Pied Piper of the pipe organ. In concert, he explores the vast tonal resources of the particular instrument on which he is performing and always presents delightfully captivating musical compositions. This is a program the entire family will enjoy, and a great opportunity to provide youngsters –– ages 8 and older are recommended –– with an excellent cultural experience.

Among its numerous community service efforts, the club has awarded over $100,000 in scholarships over the years, Councilwoman Scott said. Former Woman’s Club president Sue Stenson accepted a plaque from the council on behalf of the club. The councilwoman also acknowledged The Church in Brielle, which celebrated its 50th anniversary on April 29. The Church is hosting a renowned pipe organist this Sunday, Councilwoman Scott noted. “Best wishes to the congregation in the years to come,” she said. • Councilman Nolan also read a proclamation that declared May 11 Andrew Mulligan Day in honor of the Eagle Scout, the second in his family, who received the honor last week. • Tree planting on Old Bridge Road will take place on Saturday, June 2 at 2 p.m. • May is Senior Citizens Month and Councilwoman Scott called attention to the various offerings of the Riverview Seniors –– exercise classes, card games, watercolor painting classes, shuffle board, boccie ball, a book club, Monday matinees and numerous trips and single-day activities. Riverview Senior membership is at about 200 now, the councilwoman noted. “Your seniors are well served,” she said. • Councilman Timothy Shaak reported the Route 35 overpass on Ashley Avenue is complete. The painting of the overpass on Route 71 is in progress and should be completed before Memorial Day weekend, he said. • Councilman Nolan announced that Brielle Parks and Recreation’s new Biddy T-ball program, for 5 and 6-year olds, is underway. “It’s a great program and a lot of fun,” the councilman said. • The council authorized Spokes for Hope to conduct a “Monmouth County Coastal Cruise” through Brielle on Saturday, June 9. • The council authorized the execution of an inter-local agreement with the Wall Township Crisis Intervention Team. Wall will serve as host to the service. • The council authorized the hiring of Kathy Habick, of Holly Hill Drive, as a part-time clerical worker. • The council approved the renewal of the Brielle Fire Company’s liquor license and waived the municipal fee. • The council also approved the renewal of Charlie Brown’s and Jonathon Ron Liquors’ liquor licenses. • The council awarded a bid to International Trucks of Central Jersey in the amount of $101,998 for the purchase of a dump truck.

By Brian O’Keefe During discussions at last Wednesday’s Sea Girt Council meeting regarding seasonal liquor license restrictions on the Parker House, it emerged that one of the longtime conditions the borough has placed on the license has not been enforced by the borough police department for over 20 years. Councilman Ken Farrell noted that the Beacon Boulevard establishment has a bar on its eastern porch. He also noted that one of the restrictions, which Borough Attorney William Burns said were originally put in place two decades ago, states that on the porch, alcohol may only be served to seated customers. “I don’t see where a bar fits in there,” Councilman Farrell said. “It’s been there for 30 years,” replied a Parker House representative who attended the meeting but did not identify himself. Mr. Burns said he agreed with Councilman Farrell that the con-

The Sea Girt Police Department, for now, will not be asked by the council to change its policy of not enforcing a condition of the Parker House’s seasonal liquor license that technically prohibits serving patrons at a bar located on the establishment’s eastern porch.

ditions prohibited serving alcohol from a bar on the porch. Only people who are seated at a table may be served, he said. Council President Mark Clemmensen said the conditions of the liquor license agreement indicate that no one may stand at the bar. The Parker House representative asked the council members if they would lift that restriction. “That’s a big part of our business,” he said, referring to people who stand at the porch bar. Those customers like to mingle and socialize while drinking alcohol, he said. “They don’t always want to be seated.” Mr. Burns said the reason for limiting alcohol service to seated patrons was to keep people from “milling around” while drinking on the porch, close to the Parker House’s neighbors. The restriction

was made years ago when the business had expanded its alcohol service to the porch, he said. Councilman Farrell emphasized again that alcohol may only be served to and consumed by those who are seated at tables. “A bar is an invite to not sit at a table,” the councilman said. He added he did not want the porch bar to create a condition where people spill from the porch into the parking lot, near the house next door. Police Capt. Robert Conway, who was in attendance, told the council that in the 24 years he has been with the police department, “This is something that’s never been enforced.” If the council decides that condition needs to be enforced, the captain said, the police department could start doing so now. Councilman Donald Fetzer

said the police department was OK with the liquor license agreement as it was written, and suggested that the council pass it asis, making changes later if necessary. The police department should continue to enforce the agreement in the same manner that it has in the past, Councilman Fetzer said. Councilman Clemmensen, who chairs the public safety committee, said after the meeting that the police department would not immediately be asked to change its past enforcement practices with regard to the condition in question. Rather, the department will closely monitor the use of the porch, and then recommend changes, if any, that should be made to the liquor license conditions in the future, the council president said.

In other news from last Wednesday’s council meeting: • The council passed a resolution to give active duty members of the United States armed forces and their dependents free access to the borough’s beach. Councilman Bogan said the resolution is a “minimal service” the borough gives to members of the military. “It really means a lot to the families,” said Councilman Clemmensen. • The council authorized Planning Board Attorney Scott D.

Class Of 1977 To Hold Reunion

County to provide emergency service By Brian O’Keefe The Sea Girt Council approved an agreement with the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office, the Monmouth County Police Chiefs Association and participating police agencies that will provide emergency service to the borough from the Monmouth County Emergency Response Team [MOCERT]. Council President Mark Clemmensen had recommended that the borough switch to MOCERT for the SWAT teamtype services, rather than continuing to receive that service from the New Jersey State Police. MOCERT personnel train in special weapons and unconventional tactics outside the scope of normal police duties. Councilman Clemmensen has estimated the annual cost of the agreement at $1,000. Borough Clerk Lorene Wright said she could not confirm the exact figure,

must be met when houses are demolished, and prohibit lengthy delays before new construction begins, according to Councilman Donald Fetzer. • Councilman Bogan announced a purchase order for dune grass had been approved, and that the grass would be planted near the pavilion last weekend [see related story, Sea Girt pages]. • Trenton Boulevard resident Judith Gately asked what hours beach gate guards are scheduled to work. Councilman Bogan replied that he was not certain, but believed they were 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Ms. Gately said she knows they do not stay as late as 4 p.m. There are “tons of people waiting” for the gate guards to leave so they can get on the beach for free, she said. Toward the end of their shifts, some gate guards politely tell people they may come back in 10 minutes when they leave work in order to get on the beach, Ms. Gately said. The gate guards are also missing many people who enter the beach while they are there, through entrances that are not guarded, she said. Mr. Bogan said the budget limits how many gate guards can be hired, but he said he would bring up the possibility of hiring an extra part-time guard to Beach Manager Jim Freda.

Sea Girt

Council introduces bond ordinances By Brian O’Keefe The Sea Girt Council introduced three bond ordinances at last Wednesday’s meeting. The first ordinance would appropriate $194,000 and issue $184,300 in bonds for general improvements to borough property. The improvements would include police and fire department equipment worth $79,000, including fire alarms and police computers. It would also include $115,000 worth of work on borough buildings and grounds. That money is intended to be used for work in the public works yard, according to Chief Financial Officer Christine Brown. The second ordinance would appropriate $111,000 and issue $105,450 in bonds for water system capital improvements. Those improvements would include buying water and sewer equipment, such as a meter

reading system, hydrants, batteries and water meters, at a total cost of $91,000. It would also include work on improvements to the borough’s water plant costing $20,000. The third ordinance would appropriate $107,000 and issue $101,650 in bonds for beach improvements. That would include $100,000 in improvements to the beachfront pavilion and Chicago Boulevard boardwalk. The pavilion work includes a number of leftover items including underground cable work, Ms. Brown said. The work on the Chicago Boulevard boardwalk is to repair damage, and no estimate has been obtained yet, she said. Also in that bond ordinance is $7,000 worth of beach equipment, including one or two defibrillators.

Event will pay tribute to borough woman By Brian O’Keefe Local residents have organized a tribute to a Sea Girt resident and educator that will also raise money for a nonprofit school for the autistic. The event, to be held at the Parker House next Thursday, will pay tribute to Maris Manheimer, a special education teacher and Columbia University professor who died last December. Mrs. Manheimer, who had a doctorate in special education from Columbia University, was a consultant to the Sea Girt, Manasquan and Spring Lake school districts, helping to integrate children with special needs with the mainstream students, according to her husband, Neil Manheimer. “In general, she had a passion for just helping kids,” Mr.

Manheimer said. She believed in educating special-needs students with regular education students, rather than separating them, he said. “She always put the kids’ interest first,” he said. The event, which will run from 6 to 10 p.m., is also a fund-raiser for the Garden Academy Schools for Autism, an organization that runs a school in West Orange and seeks to open other schools around the state, according to event organizer Melissa Marshall. There will be drinks, hors d’oeuvres, a buffet dinner, a silent auction and live music by GlimmerGrass. Tickets are $45 per person. Make checks payable to Garden Academy and mail by May 10 to Melissa Marshall, 2 Chicago Blvd., Sea Girt 08750.

Sea Girt Councilman Raymond Bogan, just one member of the borough’s Dune Committee, helped plant tiny dune grass plugs on a dune, near the beachfront pavilion. Other council members and volunteers spent Saturday morning helping plant the plugs.

Sea Girt community pitches in to help plant beach dune grass plugs By Caren Caterina Sea Girt Council members, along with community volunteers, pitched in Saturday morning to plant hundreds of tiny plugs into a large dune, near the boardwalk’s pavilion. Councilman Raymond Bogan, along with Council President Mark Clemensen and Councilwoman Anne Morris, who are a part of the borough’s Dune Committee, are working on developing a dune system on the beach, beginning with plantings on the north side. “We want to make sure the pavilion is protected,” stated Councilman Bogan. “This dune has been here for a number of years, but has never had vegetation on it,” said Councilman Bogan. And since the dune has never had the dune grass, children often play on its sandy banks. “Once we’re done, posts will be placed around it,” he said, adding that signs will also be placed near the dune. While protecting the infrastructure, the councilman added that the plants will also make the beach “pretty.” Two types of dune grass were

planted on the dune including Bitter Panic Grass, or “as we commonly call it, dune grass,” said the councilman, along with a “more colorful kind” Seaside Golden Rod. Councilman Bogan’s sons, Patrick, 13, and Francis, 11, also helped out, along with his wife, MaryAnn. “We’re going to plant all the grass around the dunes,” said Patrick. “Everyone’s talking about the environment, and it will make the beach cleaner.” Councilman Clemensen and his wife, Virginia, also helped out. “We’re trying to stabilize the dunes,” said the councilman. “It’s

a start.” And while Saturday’s planting, which began at 9 a.m., is the first community planting, it is sure not to be the last. Councilman Clemensen said that the dune planting is “very labor intensive” and that over 1,000 plugs need to be planted. “The more people you can get, the more you can do,” he added. “We did announce it at the council meeting last week, seeking volunteers.” While it is not known how many plants will actually take root and grow, Councilman Clemensen said that “ a lot of that depends on Mother Nature.” The council president also talked about a three-phase plan with the dunes that will begin on the north end of the beach, and work its way south. The plan will also include getting some help from a special consultant. Stewart Farrell, P.h.D., a professor of marine science at the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey in Pomona, will work with the Dune Committee on beach dune restoration. “He’s coming up with the plan on how we should continue this,” said Councilman Clemensen, including the “overall master plan, to make sure we’re doing the right things.”

Spring Lake

Preservation Alliance hosts N.J. Historic Trust speaker By Meghan Berry The mission of The Preservation Alliance of Spring Lake is “to foster appreciation and proactive planning for preservation of Spring Lake’s unique architectural, cultural and natural significance,” and last Thursday, the organization took strides to further that mission at its annual Spring Event. The Preservation Alliance, with a membership of over 100, welcomed guest speaker Ross Sweetland, a supervising preservation specialist for the New Jersey Historic Trust, to the Community House. Mr. Sweetland, who manages grants and funding programs, worked closely with the Alliance in its recent acquisition of a $46,000 grant from the trust to rehabilitate the borough’s former first aid squad building. Mr. Sweetland explained that the N.J. Historic Trust engages in preservation programs and educational activities in an effort to advance historic preservation. He highlighted some of the projects the trust is most recently known for, including a street in Hightstown, several sites in norther New Jersey and a life saving station in Manasquan –– a 1903 building that was recently awarded $450,000 from the Trust. In terms of grants availability for restoration or rehabilitation projects, Mr. Sweetland said, “Significance plus integrity equals eligibility” at the Trust. Mr. Sweetland encouraged Preservation Alliance members to explore grants through the Trust and at the local, state and federal levels, and recommended several publications for review by the Alliance. At present, the Trust is advocating for a state tax break as an incentive to owners of historic homes and buildings to preserve their property, Mr. Sweetland noted. “The shopping mall and suburban sprawl have melted the edges between communities,” Mr. Sweetland said. Such development is “working against the character of the community,” he added. Sites of civic, social, physical or economic value to a community are deserving of preservation, Mr. Sweetland noted. The guest speaker also suggested that residents “invest” in their community by “patronizing local stores, restaurants and companies.”

LAUREN PARKER, The Coast Star

Jules Plangere [second from left], a trustee of The Preservation Alliance of Spring Lake, welcomed Ross Sweetland, of the N.J. Historic Trust, to the Alliance’s annual Spring Event last Thursday. Councilwoman Janice Venables [from left], Patricia Colrick, founder of the Preservation Alliance and a trustee, Cathleen McCusker, the organization’s president, and Councilman Joseph Rizzo were also pleased to host the guest speaker.

The N.J. Historic Trust will soon return to Spring Lake, the site of the organization’s board of trustees meeting on June 6. Trustees will tour the old first aid building and take a trolley tour of the borough. The Preservation Alliance event also served as a meeting, during which elected officers were introduced. Cathleen McCusker heads The Preservation Alliance of Spring Lake as its president. Grant Gille is the first vice president and Jackie Brahney is the second vice president. Sharon Batteau and Peter Saklas serve as secretary and treasurer, respectively. Gina Sapnar is the membership chair. A revision of the Alliance’s bylaws and mission statement, as well as the creation of a board of trustees, are some of the nonprofit’s organizational highlights this year, Ms. McCusker said in her president’s report. The following trustees were appointed during last Thursday’s meeting and will serve between one and threeyear terms –– Elizabeth Campanile, 2007-2008; Pat Colrick, 2007-2009; Barbara Kolarsick, 2007-2010; Robert McAllan, 2007-2008; Jules Plangere, 2007-2009; Gil Robinson, 2007-2010; Gina Sapnar, 2007-2008; Hank Schroder, 2007-2008; and Eleanor Twomey, 2007-2009. Mr. Gille, who reviewed the Preservation Alliance’s bylaws, explained that the organization had been established about 10

Adopt A Bench kicks off June 2 Saturday, June 2 is the day the Woman’s Club of Spring Lake has been working toward for over a year –– the official launch of the Adopt A Bench project. The event will take place at the Spring Lake Community House from 1 to 4 p.m. Those in attendance will have the opportunity to view a prototype of the new benches and enjoy refreshments with fellow members of the community. That Saturday will also be the best possible time for anyone who would like to adopt a bench to do so. The tax deductible donation of $950 will secure a bench with an engraved plaque, which could be used to commemorate an anniversary, birthday or to celebrate the life of a loved one. Location choice is on a first come, first serve basis. The Woman’s Club has been working in cooperation with the mayor and council and Caring Neighbors. Adopt A Bench is the first program being conducted under the proposed Spring Lake Conservancy. The Conservancy is the result of the

merging of the Caring Neighbors and Spring Lake Charitable Partners. Letters were mailed to all property owners and residents a few weeks ago with order forms and agreements explaining the project. The adoption is open to anyone who knows and loves Spring Lake and would like to participate in this community improvement project. For more information, visit www.adoptabench.com, e-mail [email protected] or call 732-449-2299.

years ago, and therefore, the bylaws needed to be revised. The bylaws were only slightly altered, but Mr. Gille said they “reflect what we’re all about.” The bylaws set Alliance meetings at twice a year, though the board of trustees will meet on the third Thursday of every month. At the conclusion of the meeting, Mr. Gille held an open forum for Alliance members to shout out preservation projects they would like to see carried out in the borough. The brainstorm yielded the following results. • The replacement of the former portico at borough hall, so

the building appears as it was when it served as a schoolhouse. • Repair borough bridges. • Identify critical commercial properties on Third Avenue and its side streets for preservation. • Put gazebos on the boardwalk and near Spring Lake as it once was. • Advocate for preservation of certain borough trees. • Find a way to encourage owners of historic homes in Spring Lake to restore instead of tearing down. • Replace fencing along the boardwalk.

Defense counsel may seek dismissal in Stockdale trial 2028 Highway 71 Spring Lake Heights

732-974-8999

— FROM PAGE 1 — “The average person without legal training wouldn’t understand that,” alternate juror Joanne Kriston, who did not participate in the deliberations, said of the POA expiring upon the dependent's death. The jury was hung on the other five charges against Dr. Sollitto –– conspiracy, theft by deception, forgery, falsifying records and neglect of an elderly person. Likewise, the jury was hung on the two charges against Mr. Casale –– conspiracy and theft by deception. The pair had been charged for allegedly manipulating the late Spring Lake resident Madeleine Stockdale, in the last months of her life, into changing her will to make Dr. Sollitto the heir to the bulk of her estimated $6 million estate. She sold Dr. Sollitto her home the day she signed the second will — a will which forgave the balance of the mortgage she held for Dr. Sollitto upon her death. The lawyers for the two men claimed Dr. Sollitto, a former resident of Spring Lake, cared for Mrs. Stockdale in the last months of her life when no one else would. Witnesses in the case said Mrs. Stockdale was alert and competent when she signed the documents. Last Wednesday, the jury told Monmouth County Superior Court Judge Ira E. Kreizman, who oversaw the case, that they were unable to reach a unanimous verdict on any of the charges against the defendants, but did not want to be declared a hung jury. Deliberations were then ordered to continue. After the mistrial was announced last Friday, defense attorneys said they would make a motion for the dismissal of the indictments of Dr. Sollitto and Mr. Casale because the jury had been provided with a file that had not been entered into evidence. It was a file belonging to Detective Harry Cuttrell, of the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office, who investigated the case with Spring Lake Police Detective William Coyle. It is not clear how the file made it into the jury room, but Mr. Warshaw said yesterday that it was “inadvertent.” The case is undergoing a “comprehensive review,” he added. “We’re looking into everything,” Mr. Warshaw said. As of Wednesday morning, the prosecutor had not received a

motion to dismiss the charges against the defendants from defense attorneys Jack Furlong and Edward Plaza, who represent Dr. Sollitto and Michael Casale, respectively. If a motion to dismiss –– essentially a request for a court order –– is filed, the collective county prosecutor’s office will determine if the case is to be retried. The prosecutor’s office cannot drop the charges against Dr. Sollitto and Mr. Casale, if it so chooses, unless motions to dismiss are filed. Dr. Sollitto said on Tuesday that Mr. Furlong, who discovered the detective’s file among the evidence reviewed by the jury, will make a motion to dismiss the charges on his behalf. The defendants are scheduled to return to Judge Kreizman’s courtroom on June 11, where the status of the case will be discussed. Of the jury’s ruling, Dr. Sollitto said, “I felt very gratified that despite the fact they had [Detective Cuttrell's] file, I was acquitted on two charges.” He referred to the file as “defamatory” as it had included interviews from people that did not testify in the trial. “We [the defense] know they [the jurors] read the file,” Dr. Sollitto said. He explained that during deliberations the jury “didn’t ask a lot of questions,” but on one occasion asked the judge if they could see pages one through 36 of Detective Cuttrell's report. Judge Kreizman told the jurors that the file was not part of the trial, according to Dr. Sollitto. Last Friday, Mr. Furlong found pages 37 and beyond of Detective Cuttrell’s some 120-page file among the documents admitted into evidence, Dr. Sollitto said. Within the file were the notes Detective Cuttrell had taken during interviews with people related to the case. In his criminal trial testimony, Detective Cuttrell said that he does not tape record his

interviews and occasionally writes notes from memory after interviews. Dr. Sollitto said the trial was “bizarre right up until the last minute,” but noted that his two not guilty verdicts cannot be “negated” by the prosecutor’s office. Of the jurors Dr. Sollitto said, “I admire the hell out of them for sticking with it [deliberations] for nine days. Dr. Sollitto, a podiatrist, and Mr. Casale, an attorney, were prosecuted simultaneously during the trial that began March 6. Prior to the criminal case, two of Mrs. Stockdale’s wills were submitted for probate — the newer will naming Dr. Sollitto as the primary beneficiary, as well as the will

prepared in 1998 by Mrs. Stockdale’s law firm which named the first aid squad as primary beneficiary –– after her April 18, 2000 death. The second will leaving Dr. Sollitto the bulk of her estate was declared null and void in a civil trial last year. That verdict is being appealed by Dr. Sollitto. In her earlier will, which was declared the valid will after the civil case, Mrs. Stockdale named the Spring Lake First Aid Squad the primary beneficiary of her estate. Mr. Casale, a friend of Dr. Sollitto, was Mrs. Stockdale’s attorney and prepared the will for her that named Dr. Sollitto as the primary beneficiary of her estate.

Holy Trinity opens for season May 27 By Meghan Berry The Episcopal Church of the Holy Trinity, a seasonal chapel located on Third and Monmouth avenues in Spring Lake, will open its doors once again on Sunday, May 27. Holy Trinity, founded in 1880, is set to celebrate its 127th summer as a community church with its opening in less than two weeks. Regular church services will be held every Sunday during the summer at 9 a.m. Father Peter Stimpson, director of Trinity Counseling Services in Princeton, will preside at each service. “Anyone is welcome. We’re open to all,” said Nancy Carson, president of Holy Trinity’s board of trustees. Seasonal chapels, Ms. Carson explained, were more common

when the Jersey Shore had a greater influx of summer visitors. “There used to be seasonal chapels up and down the coast, but now there are very few left,” she said. Though the number of yearround shore residents continues to rise, Holy Trinity, a true landmark in Spring Lake, has maintained its seasonal status. The Episcopal Church of the Holy Trinity, with windows made of Tiffany glass, is on the national registry of historic places, Ms. Carson said. “There’s a lot of community support for the church,” Ms. Carson added. The Garden Club of Spring Lake maintains the plantings on the church’s grounds.

Councilman Reilly resigns from his seat on the governing body By Meghan Berry Spring Lake Councilman Brian Reilly, a Republican, has submitted a letter of resignation to the borough’s governing body and will officially vacate his seat on June 1. BRIAN Councilman REILLY Reilly, who has served on the governing body for seven years said, “I have been up there long enough” and added, “My priorities have changed a little bit.” As director of the Manasquan River Boys and Girls Youth Lacrosse program, Councilman Reilly spends on average 20 hours per week on volunteer work. He took over the program, which teaches sportsmanship and lacrosse skills, four years ago and expanded it to a membership of 200 fourththrough eighth-graders, he said. “I am no longer able to dedicate the time necessary to con-

tinue on the council,” Councilman Reilly wrote in a letter to Spring Lake residents which was published in The Coast Star last week. Councilman Reilly, a father of three, also coaches recreation basketball and soccer and works with the borough’s drug alliance, for which he says he is “working very actively” to educate youth. During his tenure on the borough’s governing body, Councilman Reilly rebuilt the water/sewer infrastructure, a 90year old system, he said. The increase in the borough’s water pressure now gives the fire department the “ability to fight a fire during the peak demand for water,” the summertime, Councilman Reilly said. The councilman also instituted the Kid Safe Program, which requires all recreation volunteers to go through a background check, he said. Borough roads have also seen improvements under Councilman Reilly’s supervision. The councilman said he instituted a program five years ago that targets one major road

per year. Along with former councilman Walter Kimm and former borough engineer Charles Rooney, Councilman Reilly secured $350,000 from the county three years ago for the borough’s archway project, he said. “I’d like to see it [the archway project] get going,” Councilman Reilly said. “I hope the council finishes the project as it was outlined.” He added that it is “frustrating” that the project has not moved forward. In March, the county GOP recommended Councilman Reilly, along with Marlboro’s Councilman Jeff Cantor and Ocean Township’s Councilman J. David Hiers, for one slot on the Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders. Ultimately, the GOP opted to endorse Mr. Cantor. “I went through the process and came in second,” Councilman Reilly said of vying for a seat in county government. He said he will continue to look to the county as a possible outlet for his experience in local

government, citing his work with the municipal budget and capital improvements. As a potential freeholder one day, Councilman Reilly said he would hope to “increase youth programs” at the county level. As a result of the resignation of Councilman Reilly, the borough’s Republican committee will collect resumes from Spring Lake residents interested in filling the open council seat. The Republican committee will have 15 days from the time of the effective resignation to collect resumes from candidates in Spring Lake. After the 15day period, the committee will submit the names and credentials of the three most qualified candidates to the mayor and council, which then will have 15 days to appoint a candidate to fill Councilman Reilly’s seat. If a candidate is not appointed, the Republican committee will choose a council person from the three candidates. The appointed member of council will complete Councilman Reilly’s term, which was scheduled to end in

December. If the appointed member of council chooses, he or she can run for election for a full three-year term in November. “I hope they [the council] don’t wait 30 days,” Councilman Reilly said of the appointment of a new member to the council. Ellen Kelly Gerard, an uncontested, Republican candidate for council in the June primary, could not be reached for comment by press time, but Councilman Reilly said Ms. Gerard “would be a breath of fresh air” if she were appointed to council. Ms. Gerard would “put the taxpayers first,” he said. Councilman Reilly added, “She is a welcome and needed voice. I can leave comfortably knowing someone of her caliber could step in.” Councilman Reilly wanted to express his gratitude to the “very supportive residents of Spring Lake.” His advice to current and future members of council is “listen to the residents.”

Students wash cars for birthday wish By Caren Caterina Students in Spring Lake spent their Saturday afternoon with hoses, soaps and sponges, in order to help a 7-year-old boy in Canada, who is fighting cancer, achieve his birthday wish of setting a world record for receiving the most birthday cards. The group of students, who are part of the National Junior Honor Society at H.W. Mountz School in Spring Lake, put together the $10 per car fund-raiser at the firehouse on Fifth Avenue in order to help Shane Bernier, who lives in Lancaster, Canada, reach his birthday wish by May 30. Shane has been battling acute lymphoblastic leukemia for several years, and recently relapsed. His enjoyment of receiving letters and cards from people eventually turned into a worldwide campaign, and he has received thou-

sands of cards as he attempts to reach his goal of 350 million cards. Shane’s story not only touched the hearts of many around the globe, but the hearts of these Spring Lake students. “We’re raising money to buy birthday cards to send to him,” said H.W. Mountz eighth grader Stephen Burns. Stephen said the group learned about Shane in school, after their advisor, John Bormann, told them about the boy. “Our teacher, Mr. Bormann, holds the meetings, and in one, he told us about Shane,” said Stephen. “So, we decided to have the car wash to help him.” Fire Chief Bill Newman, whose son, Michael, was also helping with the fund raiser, said he is proud of what the kids are doing. “All the fire house is doing, is

offering up their facility to them [kids],” said Chief Newman. “The fire house thinks it’s a great idea, and hopes the child gets his wish of achieving his world record,” he added. There has only been one similar world record, where Craig Shergold, a British boy that fought brain cancer, collected 33 million get well cards, in 1992.

The car wash began at 9 a.m., and lasted until noon. More information about Shane Bernier can be found on www.shaneswish.com, where people can log on to learn how to send him a card. The H.W. Mountz students hope to purchase at least 50 cards to send to Shane.

main Breakers hotel building to a two-story annex that houses four suites. At present, hotel guests staying in the annex cannot access the main hotel without walking outside. The space between the hotel and the annex is 14 feet. In connecting the hotel to the annex at both the first and second floor levels, Mr. Scardino wants to extend the kitchen on the first floor of the main building into the first floor of the annex, displacing two suites. The expanded portion of the kitchen would be used for storage, the applicant said last month. Mr. Scardino’s plans also call for the addition of an elevator in the main building. While The Breakers already has one elevator for guests, the second would serve as a back-up to the older model, Mr. Scardino explained in his testimony. The new elevator, unlike the existing one, would be

wide enough to accommodate a first aid stretcher, he said. The applicant’s architect, Richard Billiano, explained that four guest rooms in the main building would be lost with the installation of the second elevator –– which would run the height of the four-story building. To compensate for the loss of guest rooms resulting from the expanded kitchen and the installation of the second elevator, the applicant has proposed that a third story be added to the annex building. The third floor of the annex would also connect to the main hotel building. Under the proposal, two guest rooms would be added to the second floor of the annex. Four guest rooms would occupy the proposed third floor. In all, Mr. Scardino’s application proposes a 3,844-squarefoot addition to The Breakers. Opponents of the application

–– the Delaneys, of 10 Madison Ave., and the Coreys, of 19 Newark Ave., neighbors to the south and west of the hotel, respectively –– allege that the addition is “massive” and that The Breaker’s property is “already overdeveloped,” according to attorney Rick Brodsky, of Ansell, Zaro, Grimm & Aaron. Mr. Brodsky represents the Delaneys. Mr. Scardino, who has owned The Breakers, a full-service hotel with 73 guest rooms, since 1979, and has said the renovations to the facility will improve the safety of hotel guests. The applicant has estimated that the proposed hotel addition will cost about $500,000. To date, Mr. Scardino has put approximately $8 million into improving The Breakers over the years, he said.

Mayor Michael Ryan and the borough council voted to pass this resolution Tuesday night, after meeting with representatives from Belmar over the last couple of months to mull over the details of the agreement. Mayor Ryan stated on Tuesday evening that the agreement between Belmar and Lake Como would act as a vehicle to maximize the boroughs’ ability to move people out of the bars as swiftly, safely and efficiently as possible on busy summer weekends. Mayor Ryan also stated that this agreement was only the “first step” the borough would be taking in establishing an interlocal agreement between Belmar and Lake Como in regards to taxi licensing and regulations. The ordinance that the borough is currently drafting to establish the interlocal agreement aims to form one taxi licensing bureau for both towns. The resolution that was passed on Tuesday evening will allow more taxi cabs, which were not before registered in Lake Como, to enter Lake Como legally and operate within the borough on a regular basis. The mayor and council believe that this increase in taxi availability will benefit both the residents of Lake Como and those visiting the borough during the summer months. A copy of the resolution was sent to Lake Como Police Chief Rosman Cash and Belmar Police Chief Jack Hill after the meeting.

Board approves Fernwood Road plan the second time around By Kelly Skellinger Lawrence Balka was back before the Lake Como Planning Board on Monday after his variance application for 1839 Fernwood Road was carried from the March 12 meeting of the planning board. Board members had asked Mr. Balka on March 12 to return with a new design, in regards to the proposed width of the driveway, added greenery and building height. On Monday, Mr. Balka presented two alternative plans. Mr. Balka and his attorney, Mark Aikens, presented Plot Plan 3 and Plot Plan 4 to the board for their review. Plot Plan 3 proposed an 18-foot wide driveway with a 16-foot wide apron. An apron is the area below the driveway that extends to the street. This plan also proposed roll-over pavers next to the driveway. Plot Plan 4 proposed a 12-foot wide driveway, with a 14-foot wide apron. There was also landscaping added to this plan, with the installation of shrubs. The roll-over pavers in Plan 3 were not included

in this plan. The board approved Plot Plan 4 on Monday evening. Mr. Balka agreed to create the 14-foot wide apron, where a maximum of 16 feet is allowed, and, instead of his original 7.5-foot wide driveway plan, Mr. Balka agreed to the creation of a 12-foot wide driveway. While roll-over pavers were proposed in the original plan and Plot Plan 3, Mr. Balka agreed to not use rollover pavers, as they are not aesthetically pleasing. The lot currently includes two small sheds and a condemned house, which will all be knocked down. The applicant will be building a single-family house, detached garage and brick paver patio on the lot. The property is 30-feet wide and 100-feet deep. The planning board considers any lot that is under 40 feet wide and 100 feet deep to be an undersized lot. Also, the current ordinance for undersized lots states that if an applicant is under on the lot width, the applicant has to lower the

By Kelly Skellinger Mayor Michael Ryan and the borough council officially followed in the footsteps of their counterparts in Belmar and 39 other governing bodies in 39 different states, when they passed the beer keg tagging ordinance on Tuesday evening. Councilman Brian Wilton, who still had doubts as to how enforceable the beer keg tagging ordinance would be, was the only councilman to vote against the measure. Police Chief Rosman Cash’s comments on Tuesday evening did not encourage Councilman Wilton’s vote. “It’s a hard ordinance to enforce,” the chief said. “It’s still in its infancy stage.” However, Chief Cash did state that, by passing the ordinance, the mayor and council would be sending the state senators and assemblymen the right message. Chief Cash believes this message just might push through the two pieces of legislation that are currently in Trenton, in the senate and the assembly, which would allow kegs to be traced statewide, not just borough-wide. Mayor Ryan stated on Tuesday that he felt the borough was doing the right thing by passing the ordinance. Anything officials can do to go ahead and not allow adults to buy liquor or beer for minors is a

good thing, Mayor Ryan said. Chief Cash added, “Thank you for passing this ordinance. It’s a step in the right direction.” The mayor and borough council decided at the May 2 meeting that

The board did discuss ending the meetings at 10 p.m. to limit the overall meeting time. However, the board felt that starting the meetings earlier might allow the meetings to run smoother and would get the applicants in and out as quickly as possible. Many of the recent planning board meetings have been running until 11 p.m. or later. Planning Board Attorney Adam Schneider, stated that “not

We should set a time limit out of consideration for the public, Mr. Schneider said. The board debated whether or not informal applications should be limited to 15 minutes. Mr. Schneider requested that the board look into hearing the informal applications at 7 p.m. and beginning the formal applications at 7:30 p.m. However, the board did not come to a conclusion on which applications would be heard first.

height of the buildings on the lot. The height of the house that Mr. Balka planned on building would have to be approximately 26.3 feet, according to a borough ordinance that aims to keep the size of buildings on undersized lots proportionate to the size of the property. The original height requested by Mr. Balka on March 12 was 35 feet, which is the maximum building height the borough allows on a regular-sized lot. Mr. Balka lowered the building height to 26.3 feet at Monday’s meeting. Mr. Balka’s variance application had been informally approved by the planning board on Sept. 11 last year. Since September of last year, Lake Como’s planning board attorney, Adam Schneider, and Mr. Aikens have been conversing and decided that it would be best for Mr. Balka to go before the board formally, where Mr. Balka’s neighbors could address their concerns.

State & County News

Rebate program will not solve tax crisis — will provide some relief LEGISLATIVE MATTERS New Jersey has once again changed its property tax rebate program. The New Jersey Homestead Property Tax Credit Act, By which was ASSEMBLYMAN signed into SEAN T. KEAN law on April 3, [R-11] provides benefits for both homeowners and renters. The Homestead Property Tax Credit/Rebate program is slightly different from last year’s FAIR rebate program and will provide some property tax payers with increased rebates. While the Homestead Property Tax Credit Act does give some New Jersey residents additional property tax relief, it does not offer the sweeping reforms that we need to overhaul our property tax system or provide nearly enough money to compensate taxpayers for skyrocketing property tax bills. Surely, the Homestead Property Tax Credit Act is not the answer to the property tax crisis in New Jersey, but it can help taxpayers to deal with the overwhelming expense of property taxes. Both homeowners and tenants are eligible for the homestead property tax credit/rebate on 2006 property taxes that were paid in full. In order to be eligible, homeowners must have owned and occupied their residence on Oct. 1, 2006 and had gross income for 2006 of

$250,000 or less. Tenants are eligible if their gross income for 2006 was less than $100,000 and they rented and occupied an apartment or another residence as of Oct. 1, 2006 which was subject to property taxes paid through their rent. Seniors and disabled persons should have received their applications in the mail by May 16 and their applications are due by June 1, 2007. If you are a senior citizen or disabled and you did not receive your application packet by May 16, you should call the Homestead Rebate Hotline at 1-888-2381233 for assistance. Applications for all other homeowners are expected to be sent out in July and the deadline to file is Aug. 15. Tenants rebate applications were due on April 17, 2006 the same day as New Jersey income taxes. The amount of the rebate for homeowners is based upon the amount of property taxes paid and your income. Homeowners whose income is $100,000 or less will receive 20 percent off the first $10,000 paid of property taxes [the maximum rebate

Friday ay Saturd & Sunday

amount is $2,000]. Homeowners making between $100,001 and $150,000 will receive 15 percent off of the first $10,000 paid of property taxes [the maximum rebate amount is $1,500]. Homeowners making between $150,001 and $250,000 will receive 10 percent off the first $10,000 paid of property taxes [the maximum rebate amount is $1,000]. Senior citizens and disabled homeowners who received a rebate in 2005 under the FAIR rebate program will receive the same amount for 2006 or a greater amount under the new formula. Whichever program provides seniors and disabled persons with a greater monetary benefit will be used to determine the rebate amounts. In addition, the Homestead Property Tax Credit Act increased the rebate amount that certain tenants are able to receive. Tenant rebate amounts take into consideration the amount of property taxes paid and gross income. Senior citizens, disabled persons, and tenants are expected

to receive their rebate checks during the first week in August. Rebate checks for all other eligible homeowners will be sent in the fall. Homeowners can file rebate applications by calling: 1-877658-2972 or you can file online at www.state.nj.us/treasury/taxation. If you have questions about the rebate program, you can call 1-888-238-1233, TTY 1-800-286-6613, or email questions to [email protected]. Also, please feel to contact me at my legislative office at (732) 974-0400 if you need any assistance with your homestead property tax credit/rebate. While this is not a solution to the state’s property tax crisis, this rebate program can help to provide valuable assistance to hardworking taxpayers and senior citizens who desperately need help offsetting the high cost of property taxes.

In 19 days, when the ordinance is effective, the borough plans on sending the letters out. Tuesday night was the second reading of the ordinance and, while a public comment session was held, no one from the public mustered any praise or dislike for it’s passing. The keg ordinance mandates that “no retailer shall sell beer kegs unless that retailer affixes an identification label or tag to each beer keg.” The identification label or tag affixed to the keg should be made of “paper, plastic, metal or another durable material that is not easily damaged or destroyed,” according to the ordinance. The labels may also contain a non-permanent adhesive material, in order to apply the label directly to an outside surface of a beer keg at the time of the sale. According to the ordinance, “the identification information contained on the label or tag shall include the licensed retailer’s name, address and telephone number; a unique beer keg number assigned by the retailer; and a prominently visible warning that intentional removal or defacement

Mrs. Laturzo stated that she was pleased with Mr. Balka’s new plans, especially in regards to the width of the driveway, which had been a concern of most of Mr. Balka’s neighbors from the beginning. Mr. Balka had first proposed a 7.5-foot wide driveway. Mrs. Laturzo was in favor of the 12 foot wide driveway that was being proposed, stating that it was an ample width to open car doors. Mrs. Laturzo did, however, question the aesthetic value of roll-over pavers, which, in the end, will not be used. In other news from the plan-

The label or tag would have to be kept on file with the retailer for no less than 90 days from the date of the keg’s return, according to the ordinance. Retailers in the borough who sell kegs, of which Weinstein's liquor store is currently the only one, will have to keep a record of the customer’s “driver’s license, government-issued identification card, military identification card or valid United States or foreign passport,” the customer’s “name, date of birth and address,” the “date and time of the purchase,” “the beer keg identification number and the “purchaser’s signature.” A record of this information will have to be kept for no less than 90 days after the date of the keg sale. The ordinance also carries a hefty fine for those who deface the keg’s identification label or tag or violate “any provision of the ordinance.” Any person found guilty of violating any provision of the ordinance, upon conviction, may be subject to a fine of up to $2,000, be sentenced to jail for up to 90 days or be required to perform community service at the discretion of the court.

Robin Bird, Robert Stuphen Jr., Pete Onulack and Mike George arrived on the scene to treat and transport the patient. The patient received five rounds of CPR and three shocks from the Defibrillator which resulted with the patient regaining a steady pulse and breathing abilities. The patient has since made a full recovery. • The committee proclaimed May to be Older Americans Month in the township. Representatives from Pride Of Wall attended the meeting at which Mayor Tobia and the committee recognized citizens in the township over the age of 60. Mayor Tobia said the demographic represents a significant part of the township and the group is a diverse group of citizens who continue to contribute to the nation’s social and economic well-being. • Township Clerk Lorraine Kubacz, who runs the Joseph L. Kubacz Alcohol and Drug Awareness Poster Contest in the township each year, presented the winners of the contests with a

Popular offerings include chicken caesar, chef and garden salads. “It has become a welcome sight to walk into our cafeteria and see a line at the salad dressing area,” Edward McManus, the school’s business administrator, said of the introduction of leafy greens into students’ diets. Brielle administrators, the board of education and members of the community began taking a closer look at student nutrition in 2004. A nutrition committee, which included a certified nutritionist, medical professionals and representatives from Cafe Terias, the school’s food management company, was formed. The committee removed soda and junk food from the lunch program, which now offers 100 percent fruit juice. The committee also took strides to increase fruit and vegetable availability for students. Food as a reward in the classroom is now discouraged thanks to the nutrition committee. “Our program has a high participation rate,” said Superintendent Joseph Torrone. “While there was initial concern that students would begin to bring their lunches, the result of this program has been an increase in student participation in our school lunch program over the past three years.” Now, many school districts are modeling their lunch programs after Brielle’s, according to Mr.

variety of prizes. Each winner received a t-shirt and two tickets to a Lakewood Blueclaws baseball game in June. The first place winners each received a $100 gift certificate to Barnes and Noble, second place winners received a $50 gift certificate and third place winners received a $25 gift certificate. From Allenwood School, Dawn Damiano placed first, Donnie Carlson placed second, and Kelly Jacoby placed third. From Central School, John Gray placed first, Brendan McGregor placed second, and Miranda Valerio placed third. From Old Mill School, Jennifer Alessandra placed first, Isabella Lohmann placed second, and Fallon Siegler placed third. From West Belmar School, Corey Huetter placed first, Ashley Smith placed second, and Carly Quinn placed third. West Belmar Principal Anthony Abeal and Allenwood Principal Bill Carson also attended the ceremony in support of the efforts. A number of the anti-drug and alcohol posters are on display in the foyer of the municipal building. McManus. Mr. Clarke, in his third season with the NFL, ignited a wild energy in the cafeteria yesterday. Children cheered. Many had Jets symbols painted on their faces. Mr. Clarke, who wears number 61, told students that broccoli was his favorite food. “I couldn’t have made it in the NFL if I ate just cookies and ice cream,” he said. “I’d like to congratulate you guys on changing your eating habits … Take advantage of the fact your lunch room changed,” the football player urged. Michael Kavanagh, 8, was singled out by the N.Y. Jet during his lunch period. “What’s your favorite fruit,” Mr. Clarke asked. “Apples,” Michael replied. “Why,” the player asked. “They’re red,” Michael answered. The room exploded with laughter and applause. Mr. Clarke told students that healthy eating is the “secret to my success” and echoed the program’s mantra, “Eat right, move more.” To be eligible to apply for the “Eat Right, Move More” program, schools must participate in the national school lunch program, a federally funded program to ensure all children have access to a wholesome meal during the school day. Four other “Eat Right, Move More” award-winning schools –– Sandman Consolidated Elementary School in Cape May, Heywood Avenue Elementary School in Orange, J. Ackerman Coles Elementary School in Scotch Plains and Springfield Township Elementary School in Jobstown –– will be visited by a N.Y. Jets player this month.

MANY THANKS TO MANASQUAN ELKS FOR A ROCKIN’ TIME Editor, The Coast Star: On May 8, the members of the Manasquan Senior Citizens Organization were guests of the Manasquan Elks Lodge for an afternoon of entertainment and great refreshments. We were treated like royalty and enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you Manasquan Elks for making Senior Citizens Month so special for us. Nick Perone and the very talented Veterans Alumni Band entertained us with great swing music from the 30’s and 40’s written by Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman, to mention a few. The place was really rockin’ with people swinging and dancing. Many thanks to Nick and the band. Very special thanks to Janice Lavance and the Senior Crafters who spend so much time making the beautiful things we sell at our bazaars, and the door prizes we give away every month. Our gratitude goes to Marilyn Dey, Connie Watkins, Marilyn Patterson, Irene Archer, Marge Cavallaro, Jackie Campanelli, Joan Fahey, Jackie Gaynor, Marianne Rupertus, Betty Bailey, Dorit Gelnovatch. Mary Stephenson, Carol Cooke and Marlyn Heinze. You women are simply awesome. JOAN PIZIO, CHAIRPERSON MANASQUAN SENIOR CITIZENS ORGANIZATION ~ COMMUTERS LOOKING TO HYBRID VEHICLES AS ALTERNATIVE? Editor, The Coast Star: A recent article in U.S. News & World Report ranked Monmouth County as the twelfth and Ocean County as the seventeenth highest commuting counties in the country. Congestion during commuting hours makes cars emit large amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. As an area with many commuters, we should do what we can to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. If more commuters were to switch to hybrid cars, this would greatly reduce the emissions caused by drivers. According to research, over a distance of 8,000 miles a hybrid car would release approximately 1,000 pounds less carbon dioxide. With the amount of cars commuting long distances, this could add up to an enormous change in the amount of air pollution. An average New York City commuter from Monmouth County will drive that distance in approximately three to four months. Not only will investing in a hybrid car help the environment, but it will also significantly decrease the amount of money spent on gasoline for commuting. In that same 8,000 miles a hybrid car will save about 100 gallons of gasoline, equaling up to $300 of savings. The normal payback period for a hybrid car is around three years. Next time you are shopping for a new car, consider investing in a hybrid car for your future. JESSICA SINNOTT Linden Place, Manasquan ~ SQUAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL’S WALK-A-THON A BIG SUCCESS

Matawan 60/47

Editor, The Coast Star: We would like to thank all the students who participated in Manasquan Elementary School's Walk-a-thon this year. The kids had a lot of fun, while raising money for their school. And to all the parents for your support and very generous pledges. A special thanks to all those parents that helped in the planning and execution of the Walk-a-thon, especially Liz Brown, Kathy Russo, Eddie the custodian and PattiAnn Caccavale. And finally an extra thanks to InletOutlet Surf Shop for their generous donation. WALK-A-THON COMMITTEE NICOLE HALLMAN JOANNE WALSH

~ BRIELLE KIDS DON’T NEED SUMMER JOBS? Editor, The Coast Star: At the May 14 meeting, the Brielle Council voted to hire two people who do not live in town as part time seasonal Department of Public Works Laborers. The council was questioned as to why Brielle residents were not hired for these positions and the council informed the town that they did not receive any applications from Brielle residents. When questioned, the council admitted many things: 1) These positions were never advertised. 2) These positions are already filled. 3) These positions were filled by people that were referred to the director by people already employed by the town. Does anyone see anything wrong with this? If you or your child need seasonal employment, wouldn’t employment with your town have been desirable? This “business as usual” has got to stop! Attend the next council meeting on May 28, and tell the November council and mayoral candidates that the days of Boiler Room political appointments are over! BILL BRANNICK Schoolhouse Road, Brielle

50 Years Ago Two dogwood trees, two flowering cherries and a flowering crab tree have been planted on the grounds of the public library by the Shade Tree Commission. ~ 25 Years Ago Sea Girt officials have rescinded an ordinance they introduced May 4 which would have prohibited summertime parking on portions of the streets in the southern end of the borough. ~ 10 Years Ago The South Belmar Planning Board on Monday approved an application by Sprint Spectrum to install nine, radio transmission antennas for cellular phone use on top of the WRAT radio station tower. The antennas will be mounted to the existing New jersey Broadcasting, Inc. tower, located at the corner of F Street and 18th Avenue. Similar antennas proposed for other nearby municipalities have been rejected by officials, some of whom cited health concerns. ~ One Year Ago The Lake Como borough council cautioned residents on Tuesday night that they should stop using their well water immediately over concerns that oil-based contaminants discovered near Route 71 in Wall Township were moving east in the groundwater toward the municipality. The council did not know the extent of the pollution, but based their knowledge on studies conducted at the former Wall Auto Wreckers site, which was acquired by the Wall Township Committee last year. Part of that acquisition deal required an environmental remediation of methyl tertiary-butyl ether [MTBE] and benzene.

Frank Bressi dishes out The Chilling Details of his lifelong love affair with rock and roll F

rank Bressi is an archetypal musician who has spent his entire life creating music. Most people only know the Frank Bressi who comes alive onstage, belting out cryptic, catchy lyrics, escaping into long trance-like guitar solos and managing to always make witty conversation between songs. It is very rare that one gets a chance to meet the man behind the musician, let alone gets to know the circumstances and influences that brought Mr. Bressi to this groundbreaking point in his life. After almost 15 years of playing solo and in local bands, Mr. Bressi, who resides in Bradley Beach, is more than content with the band he has been playing in for the last three years, The Chilling Details, his band mates, who he likens to brothers, and the release of their official first album, “Innerdialogue.” The Chilling Details, who are, most often, labeled an indie rock band, is comprised of drummer, James Griffith, 26, of Neptune, and bassist, Chris Smith, 26, of Loch Arbor, with Mr. Bressi, 36, their lead singer and lyricist, playing lead guitar. “Indie rock today has a different sound than it did, for instance, 10 years ago,” Mr. Bressi said. “It’s rock music. If you like it, you like it. If you don’t, you don’t.” “It’s always a double-edged sword,” Mr. Bressi continued. “People say, ‘what do you listen to [to determine the sound of The Chilling Details],’ and then I could say, ‘Thelonious Monk’ but we don’t sound a thing like Thelonious Monk.” “Our sound is an organic result of the culmination of all three of our influences because, if I played those same songs on the acoustic guitar or I played those same songs with a different group, they would have a different sound,” Mr. Bressi said. “We like to try to let things unfold as organically as possible.” Like his band mates, Mr. Smith, who can play the mandolin, bass, piano, guitar and saxophone, just to name a few, and Mr. Giffith, who is well versed in the percussion and stringed instruments, Mr. Bressi has a diverse knowledge of musical instruments. “I play

guitar, bass, piano and now banjo and a little bit of drums,” Mr. Bressi said. He also plays the trombone and “given enough time,” he admits, “I can comprehend how to play whatever.” “I have a hell of a time with harmonica,” Mr. Bressi said. “I don’t understand how you can make it sound so musical. It just always sounds like a locomotive horn to me.” “This band [The Chilling Details], for me, is a fresh start because the chemistry that Chris, James and I have makes it feel very new,” Mr. Bressi said. “A musical relationship or creative relationship is no different than any other kind of relationship. It is based on trust. I’m confident that whatever James and Chris bring to the table is going to enhance a song. It is not going to detract from it.” “I never really clicked with musicians more than I click with the two of them,” Mr. Smith added. “We know what we can do [musically] with each other,” Mr. Griffith agreed. “It’s rare when you find other musicians where what they play is kind of complimentary to what you play.” “Innerdialogue,” which will be released at the band’s CD release party, at The Asbury Lanes, in Asbury Park, on June 16, was produced by Ian Larkin. Jeff Plate, a local musician, who has been in such bands as Mothermania and Low Flying Jets, contributed to the album’s backing vocals and played keyboards on the album. “There was an immense amount of creative input put on a group of songs that basically started out the same way, by me playing the acoustic guitar, sitting on my bed or sitting on my living room couch,” Mr. Bressi explained. “I’ve watched them [the songs] go through that kind of solitary stage to a trio, to a quartet, and finally ending up in the way that “Innerdialogue,” our album, sounds. I think that all of the songs have benefited from the input of not just Chris and James, but of Ian and Jeff, as well.” Mr. Bressi explained that the process of creating The Chilling Details’ new album was like the process that a

screenplay, written by the director of a film, goes through when it is performed by an ensemble cast. “Obviously the screenplay and the filming was kind of overseen by a single individual,” Mr. Bressi said, “but that single individual can’t act all of the parts and, invariably, all of those actors or actresses bring something unique and signature to the roles that actually gives the film its character.” The unspoken language that Mr. Bressi, Mr. Smith and Mr. Griffith silently convey to one another during their practices and live performances is what makes Mr. Bressi consider himself “very privileged” to be able to play with his band mates. “That [intuitive connection] is not something that happens everyday,” Mr. Bressi said. “The band had a lot of fun making the album. It was a great time,” Mr. Bressi added. “We all learned a lot. The live shows have been picking up in intensity. The kids seem to have really been getting into it. We’re

STORY BY KELLY SKELLINGER looking forward to an out of control summer.” While Mr. Bressi may have a lot to look forward to this upcoming year, truly understanding the music and lyrics of The Chilling Details and the man behind the musician and lyricist can only be done by looking back. Mr. Bressi was born on Aug. 22, 1970 to parents Marlene and Frank, Sr. He grew up as a single child in Long Branch. “I started singing when I was about three, playing guitar when I was about four, had lessons for a year when I was five and I started writing [lyrics] when I was eight. I have been doing this my whole life,” Mr. Bressi said. “It’s just something that came really naturally to me at an early age, but never too much a big deal was made of it.” While neither of Mr. Bressi’s parents are musicians,

“

his mother did play clarinet when she was a little girl. Mr. Bressi believes he was gifted his creativity from his mother, who was an elementary school teacher and “always very creative with the kids.” “My father was a maritime engineer, a chief engineer, on a merchant ship and he had a very discerning ear,” Mr. Bressi explained. “Like anybody that works with big machines or motors, they can tell, by listening or by feeling a change in the vibration, if something isn’t running correctly. I think I got my ear from him.” In sixth grade, Mr. Bressi started forming bands. “That process has kind of played itself out again and again until right now with The Chilling Details,” Mr. Bressi said. Graduating from Long Branch High School in 1988, Mr. Bressi went on to Cabrini College, in King of Prussia, Pa., where he earned a bachelors of science degree in English communications, with a minor in history.

After college, Mr. Bressi held, practically, every job known to man, he said. He has worked in a wide variety of fields, from construction, to masonry, to roofing, to carpentry. Mr. Bressi worked in the ad sales department at The Atlanticville newspaper, in Long Branch, trying to break into writing. “It seems like a lot of authors start out working for newspapers and I thought that would be a cool idea,” Mr. Bressi said. He has also worked with the disabled population, mainly with people who have cerebral palsy. He worked at record stores and as a substitute teacher, for about four years, at Long Branch High School and Middle School. He also worked for the Ocean Township school systems in an after-school program. Mr. Bressi decided to go back to college in 2000, when he enrolled in Seton Hall’s School of Graduate Medical Education, in a doctoral program in audiology. He wanted to be an audiologist, a hearing imbalanced scientist who studies hearing imbalance and the human brain. However, he did not complete his studies. “I’ve always been interested in the sciences,” Mr. Bressi said. “It [audiology] is the science of how the ear and the human brain perceive sound and, as a musician, I found that very interesting. Also, when I got involved in it, what I found even more interesting was how the brain perceives sensations of balance. Balance also starts in the ear.” “When I was a little kid I wanted to work for NASA,” Mr. Bressi explained. “Astronauts spend a lot of time in zero gravity. The concept of balance, as we understand it, is different if there is no gravity and, also, astronauts, who make repeated space flights, have shown a loss in bone density. Since the bones in the middle ear are the smallest bones in the human body, I thought that would be an interesting thing to study.” Mr. Bressi has always managed to find a place for music in every job he has held, whether it was carpentry or studying the science of sound and balance. “As a writer, I gravitate

towards things that I find fascinating because it gives me ideas to think about and I seem to pull things out of my everyday life and it shows up in my writing,” Mr. Bressi said. “It [graduate school] also helped me to discipline my mind at a time when I felt like maybe I was falling a little short, getting too comfortable, too complacent as a writer.” “He [Mr. Bressi] is a genius lyrically,” Mr. Smith stated. “He will read a book and it will inspire him and he’ll write about a passage from it. He is a little bit mysterious, but you can get weird, little cues into his life through his lyrics. Certain lyrics will stick out, and you can kind of piece them together.” Mr. Bressi has been working at the Red Bank Music Academy, on Monmouth Street, in Red Bank, for the last three years. “I show people how to play guitar, bass and banjo, and I also work with ensembles and group performance,” Mr. Bressi said. For the past couple of years, Mr. Bressi has been the director of the academy’s summer music program, of which he writes the curriculum. Mr. Bressi’s students range in age from 9 to 49. “For the most part, I’ve gravitated towards jobs that have allowed me to keep making music and that allow me to keep performing,” Mr. Bressi said. “When you perform live, there is a certain amount of rehearsal practice time that needs to go into it,” Mr. Bressi stated. “It is just like any of the arts, photography or painting, writing, music … where the finished product might be a three-minute song, or a specific live performance or maybe a single photograph … but that single experience, single photo or single song or performance may be the result of months or maybe even years of previous experience all focused into that one time.” Mr. Bressi explained that it is difficult to find “flexibility” in jobs, “especially here on the east coast, to continue being expressive and still trying to make

“Frank and I have a pretty good musical connection. We know each other without having to speak. Musical ESP.”

Mr. Bressi, seen here on the boardwalk pavilion in Bradley Beach, is an intellectual at heart and has always enjoyed a good book. “I gravitate towards things that I find fascinating because it gives me ideas to think about,” Mr. Bressi stated.

“I feel like he’s a genius and he doesn’t know it. It’s rare to find someone who is into their craft and not pompous or full of themselves.”

“Why is your mom the best mom in the world?”

“Because she helps me with all my homework.”

“She is the best because she takes me to the mall and cleans for me.”

“She takes me to sports games, helps clean up and takes me to school.”

“She is always there to talk to me and she never forgets about my birthday.”

“She always plays golf with me and fixes the computer. She loves me a lot.”

“She is very nice, fun and funny. My mom helps me if I don’t get something and also tricks me into cleaning my room.”

exceeded, the nature of the building as a non-conforming use continues. If it is a non-conforming use, from a zoning perspective, it is a non-conforming use as a school. “ Ms. Renner stated last Wednesday that the school’s windows were just one issue that could be addressed by code enforcement. “Let us know,” Mayor Pringle said, “we will send Pat [McMahon, Belmar Code Enforcement Officer] over tomorrow.” Councilwoman Merry Brennan then expressed her concern in regards to the alleged overcrowding and noise violations being a quality-of-life issue for neighbors. “We have an agreement with the rabbi,” Ms. Kirk explained. “Anytime we wanted to go over and have an inspection at one of the houses, it would not be an issue. If you are looking at doing a zoning ordinance to ban all dormitories in town, I don’t think you would affect anything that is currently here. They are already here.” “We have been meeting with a different rabbi who was very nice, spoke to us as a group,” Ms. Renner said. “He made a

lot of promises. Unfortunately, none of them have been kept. “The children walk in the streets 24 hours a day,” Ms. Renner added. “They wake everyone up, anytime from 11 o’clock on. They now have a band at one of the homes, where they like to start playing at 11:30 p.m.” Police Chief Jack Hill confirmed that the police department has gotten noise complaints from neighbors in regards to the students’ behavior and officers have responded to the complaints. “The officers that respond haven’t found the violations, so they can’t issue a summons,” Chief Hill said. “The students stay for after-hours study, break up around 10:30 or 11 p.m. and walk to the various homes in the neighborhood where they live. “There are groups of them and they make noise,” Chief Hill added. “They walk down the streets to the homes and then whatever happens in the homes, happens in the homes.” “It’s true that, when they have projects, at night the students work late and they walk home,” Rabbi Heinemann said. “They are committed to their studies. It’s a terrible thing to try to make the opposite impression of them. The boys are very upset about it.

Retractable Awnings

“There were many times when the police came [for noise complaints],” Rabbi Heinemann said. “They [the officers] heard nothing. They [the neighbors] accuse us and the officers do not hear the noise.” Rabbi Heinemann stated that the allegations from neighbors have “been going on forever.” He said the students try to be nice to the neighbors, even though the neighbors keep making false complaints about them. “When someone comes before this borough for an outdoor dining ordinance, we ask everything — almost to give blood,” Ms. Renner said. “How many chairs? Where is your garbage disposal located? What are your seats going to look like? Everything is so specific to what we require to put a few chairs in front of somebody’s restaurant.” “On borough property,” Mayor Pringle interjected. Ms. Renner continued, “and my point is how do we allow bus loads of children at 11 o’clock at night to be picked up, bused through the town?” “Our school day begins at 7:30 in the morning and runs on a regular schedule to 8:30 at night,” Rabbi Heinemann said. “That is when we have those buses.” Ms. Kirk stated on Tuesday afternoon that this was the first time she had heard complaints about the busing. “They don’t supply any type of dumpster,” Ms. Renner added last Wednesday. “Their garbage oozes down the alleyway. The rodents. The trash. You want to say loitering? Be specific? Be nasty? I’m not picking on the children because they are just going by what we have allowed. We have allowed this to be.” Ms. Renner went on to

explain that the students stand on the corners in groups of 20, smoking cigarettes. “They have outgrown the area,” Ms. Renner said. “To be plucked down in the middle of a residential zone is insane.” Ms. Kirk, clearly frustrated, addressed the mayor and council last Wednesday. “I have heard this for four or five years now. I’m trying to figure out what you want me to do.” “The residents in the neighborhood should be afforded a certain amount of peace and tranquility,” Councilwoman Brennan added. “These are quality-of-life issues. There should be police attention, code enforcement attention.” “Let’s send a code enforcer to the neighborhood,” Councilman Matthew Doherty said. “He’ll check on the complaints and then report back to us with something called facts.” “It looks like we have qualityof-life issues,” Councilman William Merkler said. “Let’s step up police enforcement. I take it as a fact that there are issues. We can only do what we have jurisdiction over. We can’t stop people from walking down streets but we can stop them from making noise.” Mayor Pringle agreed, stating “if there is a violation, we can enforce the law.” “We have under-aged children running our town. I am trying to give you a heads up,” Ms. Renner said. “There is a major problem and an eruption is going to happen because we have not dealt with this whole thing in a reasonable way. People are not happy and its not just Vickie Renner anymore. You are the leaders of this community. I hope you come up with something.”

Elijah Sullivan, 9, said he was also very excited about coming to see the Lizard Man. “I wanted to see the different reptiles,” said Elijah, who stated that his favorite part of the show, was seeing Willis, the African Bullfrog. Mr. Harkowsky, who has been with The Lizard Guys since 1994, said the group helps educate children about different animals, as well as teach conservation. He has been doing this for at least 12 years, he said, with close to 2,000 shows a year, between New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. The critters stay with him, wherever he goes — including home. “Yup, they live home with me,” said Mr. Harkowsky.

The kids were also thrilled to see the last two animals, an African Emperor Scorpion and a boa constrictor from Colombia. Each child waited patiently for their turn to briefly pet the boa constrictor. “He [the snake] was interesting, and I got to touch him,” said Sarah Falotico, 10.

Bressi divulges his silent passions — FROM PAGE 35 — ends meet.” Mr. Bressi has lived in Bradley Beach, on and off, for the last 10 years. When asked what he particularly likes about living in the borough, Mr. Bressi stated, “I like the stark contrast of the seasons. I like how lively it gets in the summertime and, obviously, the location and the beautiful weather.” “In the winter, I like the solitude and how quiet it gets and how deserted it becomes,” Mr. Bressi said. “It really encourages concentration and I get a lot of work done as a result of that.” Mr. Bressi has played in many bands in the area over the last 15 years. Local musicians who have not yet worked with Mr. Bressi are an exception to the rule. Mr. Bressi has graced the stage with such bands as Psykidelic Oven Mit, Casanovacane, the Black Maserati and Telluride over the

years. Mr. Bressi also managed to maintain a solo career at the same time. “The solo stuff has always paralleled the band stuff, since the beginning, because of the different styles of music I write,” Mr. Bressi said. “Only certain songs will fit with a group, depending on the size of the group, and certain songs lend themselves to the acoustic guitar and a more intimate delivery. Some seem to be allpurpose songs and I can play them in any kind of format.” Locally, Mr. Bressi has played acoustic shows at Connelly Station and The Java Hut, which used to be called Coffee Blue, both in Belmar. Mr. Bressi has also played acoustically all over the country and in Europe, in such places as England and Ireland, when he toured there in the spring of 1999. His European tour was scheduled to end in Poland that year. However, Mr. Bressi, who

was staying with friends overseas and had a limited budget, ran out of money before his last performances and had to return to the states. While Mr. Bressi is wellknown as a musician and solo artist, many are unaware of his silent passions — photography and painting. Some of Mr. Bressi’s photography and paintings are being held by private collectors and some have been shown in local galleries, cafes and clubs. A couple of his pieces are currently on display at The Red Bank Music Academy. “Mainly, I do it to blow off steam, just for my own pleasure,” Mr. Bressi said. He started painting and taking photographs in his early 20s. “Painting and photography is as instinctual as music or freestyling lyrics, but, in a lot of ways, it is more immediate,” Mr. Bressi explained. “Through photography, you can capture a single moment and, if the light-

ing and the framing and the subject all fall into alignment, then you may end up with something beautiful or you may be able to capture the beauty of an average moment.” Mr. Bressi likened the process of painting to the process of recording music. He explained that painting is where the “end result is static but the process to get there is very time consuming and meditative.” “Snapping a single photograph,” Mr. Bressi said, “is like the live music experience and it is that moment in time that people get to take away in their memories.” “Generally, my artwork is just for me,” Mr. Bressi said. “The music is something I do in a much more public fashion.” For those interested in seeing Mr. Bressi perform live with The Chilling Details, the band will be performing this weekend at the Asbury Park Wave Festival. They will be playing on Friday, May 18, at The Saint and Saturday, May 19, at The Stone Pony.

MES holds annual social studies fair By Nick Malfitano Jenkinson’s Pier, Atlantic City and the New Jersey Devils — these three things are just some of the many elements that make our state what it is. They were also the subjects of just a few of the many project profiles created for Manasquan Elementary School’s annual social studies fair, held on Tuesday in the school gymnasium. Fourth-grade teacher Cathy Taft was enthusiastic in her description of the yearly event and the efforts of the pupils. “The students did a report a few weeks ago, then this project,” said Mrs. Taft. The subject of the project could be anything related to the State of New Jersey, as the school’s fourth-graders are cur-

Mrs. Taft added that the children were so eager to speak with whoever walked by their projects, eager to pass on their newfound knowledge of the Garden State.” Their hard work certainly did not go unnoticed, as evidenced by the feedback received from their teachers. “I learn something new about New Jersey every year [through the students’ projects],” Mr. Russoniello, who helped coordinate the event for the sixth year, said. “The fourth-grade teachers were so proud and impressed with the work of the students,” said Mrs. Taft.

— LETTERS — From Page 34 ~ POSSIBLE DEER HUNT EXPANSION IN SHARK RIVER PARK? Editor, The Coast Star: On May 9th and 12th the Monmouth County Parks Department held public information sessions on the annual deer hunt allowed in 11 county parks, which has taken place for the past three years. At these sessions the parks department announced that they not only want to continue the deer hunt from September 2007 through February 2008, but also that they want to expand the hunt to more park locations including a third section of Shark River Park in Wall Township. If allowed to go forward, this would mean that hunting will be allowed in the Remson Mills Road / Shark River Golf Course area of the park, at the Glendola Reservoir area near Belmar Boulevard and Gully Road, as well as western sections of Shark River Park. This hunting would take place for five months from dawn to dusk while the park is open to regular visitors. The parks department is recommending the parks commissioner adopt their recommendations at their June 11 meeting, despite the following: • It has never been proven a deer hunt is needed. No counts of the deer population have been done in these areas to see if there is an overabundance of deer. • It has never been proven that deer are causing any ecological damage. The parks department has not been able to show what damage has been done, or the cost of such alleged damage. • It has never been proven that there is a problem with deer –– car accidents [one of the reasons stated for the hunt]. There is no information available from the parks department to show the number of accidents during any of the past three years the hunt has taken place. • It has never been proven that the deer have caused an increase in Lyme disease in the area. No information is available from the parks department on the number of cases for any of the years of the hunt. • The parks department does not even know how much the deer hunt costs. Despite available criteria used by other park commissions and communities to determine the direct and indirect cost of the hunt [issuing permits, personnel time, information gathering, safety vests, signs, equipment, vehicle usage, helicopter usage, etc.], the parks department has not determined the cost to the taxpayers. Using the available criteria, it is conservatively estimated the annual cost of the hunt in the county parks exceeds $130,000. This means nearly $400,000 has been spent so far to allow hunting in our parks. • Despite the $130,000 annual cost, hunters do not pay anything. Permits are free, so the total cost is burdened to the county taxpayers. • Since the hunt began three years ago, there have been nearly 100 reported incidents of hunting violations, including one hunter being shot. • Every survey done over the past three years clearly shows the vast majority of county residents oppose hunting in the parks. • There has been no announcement to Wall residents about the pending expansion of the hunt, and to my knowledge township officials have either not been notified, or if they have, they too have not let Wall residents know of the pending expansion of the hunt. • Of the 635,285 Monmouth County residents [according to the U.S. Census Bureau] only 430 county residents have permits to hunt in our parks. That means this program is being do allowed so only 7/100th of 1 percent [.0007] of the county population can enjoy their “sport” of killing live beings. • There is no logical reason to allow or expand hunting in our county parks, particularly in Shark River Park with its proximity to so many homes, especially since it has never been proven needed. There is no data to back up the parks department claims of ecological damage, deer –– car accidents, Lyme disease; the taxpayers, not hunters, pay the $130,000 annual cost; the safety issues continue to rise. Wall and Shark River Park area residents need to speak up and demand this hunt be stopped. On Thursday, May 24, the Monmouth County Freeholders will hold a meeting at the Wall Municipal Complex at 7 p.m. Please come out and tell the freeholders you do not want hunting in Shark River Park, and they should start representing the 99.993 percent of county residents who do not hunt. They should not wait until a park visitor is critically injured or dies in a hunting accident before they end this absurdity. GARY FARACI Gully Road, Town ~ SPRING CLEAN-UP TO MAKE BRIELLE BEAUTIFUL, MAY 19 Editor, The Coast Star: Our beautiful town of Brielle is surrounded by water and we should be aware of the fact that all debris will end up there if we don’t clean it up. For that fact alone, I am asking the town’s people and all of its civic organizations to join in a Town-Wide Spring Clean-Up on Saturday, May 19, 2007. This is an attempt to get the community involved in picking up litter before it reaches our waterways and have groups and neighbors join together to remove unsightly litter and debris which have accumulated over the winter months. I would greatly appreciate your help in this endeavor. I have targeted several sites around town which need our help, and would be happy to suggest one for your group to clean up that morning. Supplies will be available at Curtis House beginning at 10 a.m. Please consider having your group or organization join in this worthwhile event. Kindly call me at 732-528-7188 to confirm your group’s commitment to Brielle and your assignment or for more information. Thank you for making this endeavor a huge success. COUNCILMAN RICK BOLGER Water’s Edge, Brielle ~ THANK YOU TO MAYOR DUNNE FOR WISE LEADERSHIP Editor, The Coast Star: A special thank you should be given to Mayor Dunne for his wise leadership shown after the passage of an ordinance on exemptions to the noise regulations. The mayor vetoed this unnecessary piece of legislation, which was proposed and supported by council members Dempsey, Lee and Mangan. I thank Mayor Dunne for upholding this qual-

ity of life issue for the residents of Manasquan. ROBERT DOMBAL Ocean Avenue, Manasquan ~ BRADLEY BEACH COUNCILWOMAN THANKS RESIDENTS FOR SUPPORT Editor, The Coast Star: Thank you to all the residents of Bradley Beach who showed their support for my reelection to council by voting for me on May 8. It was a privilege and honor to represent the residents over the past three years. I will continue to work hard and look forward to the next three years. I would also like to congratulate Gary, Tom and Julie on their victory and I look forward to working with them, for the future of Bradley Beach. Thank you again. COUNCILWOMAN LORI MARCHAK-ORTIZ Beach Avenue, Bradley Beach ~ SEA GIRT RESIDENTS SUPPORTIVE OF PARKER HOUSE Editor, The Coast Star: It has been reported that Sea Girt is proposing additional requirements and restriction on the Parker House. Although some people in town may not cherish the Parker House, many residents do appreciate and value it. The council needs to keep in mind the wishes of all Sea Girt’s residents and the positive benefits of the Parker House. The Parker House does a wonderful job of maintaining the beautiful historic structure and providing quality entertainment and dining service. The many charitable events they host, as well as the annual support for the Sea Girt Fire Department, is very commendable. In my opinion, my family’s quality of life and value of our home is greatly improved by this community-minded member of Sea Girt. CHARLES ANTHONY Brooklyn Boulevard, Sea Girt ~ NEW FOUR-WAY STOP SIGNS BRING RELIEF TO AREA RESIDENTS Editor, The Coast Star: I would like to thank Chief of Belmar Police, Jack Hill, and all the many borough officials and employees for the new four-way stop signs. Our Twelfth Avenue block is now safer and quieter than ever before, in the 12 years we’ve lived here. Over those years, we’ve administered first aid to felled cyclists, cringed at the sound of car wrecks, and dealt with all manner of speeding vehicles between Route 35 and Ocean Avenue. Going way back to our Neighborhood Preservation Program Surveys, the threat of speeding vehicles has always been a primary concern to Belmar parents. Please continue your fine work in “traffic calming.” TIMOTHY MCCORRY Twelfth Avenue, Belmar ~ DON’T DEFINE MY LEVEL OF NOISE TOLERANCE FOR ME Editor, The Coast Star: Many years ago, the NJ DEP and its office of noise control crafted a model ordinance for stationary sources that most municipalities, including Manasquan, adopted. Contained in the ordinance were certain exceptions deemed as “reasonable,” which is what most legal argument is based on. Among those sources were things like airports, vehicle race tracks, church bells, firearms ranges, etc. You tolerated them or simply did not choose to live near them. Also addressed, were loudspeaker and public address systems and their permitted uses, of course, based on reasonable thinking. The ordinance, which exists in most municipalities, prohibits the use of such systems between the hours of 10 p.m. and 8 a.m., the following day. However, Manasquan, for some reason around 1989, after laying off four police officers creating a summer long unsupervised Mardi Gras, decided in a knee jerk reaction to one incident, to adopt the most comprehensive law in the land, completely outlawing the use of these devices 24/7. Fifteen years later, a group of malcontents have decided to exploit this and not only that, they chose a 50-year-old pre-existing condition. The problem is, short of this ordinance, the complainants have no legal recourse. Normal ambient noise levels during the speakers use, such as passing vehicles, will measure much higher decibel readings at their property lines than any ambient noise levels “at the complainant’s property line.” This is why the mayor, complainants, certain council, et al. hold on so dearly to this ordinance, because there is no other legal leg to stand on. Wasn’t last year’s excuse, was that it would cost too much to change the ordinance back? And as far as the wind excuse, because wind is a naturally occurring event, [unlike the mayor’s hot air] legal decibel readings are not permitted when wind speeds are over 12 m.p.h. This is not old versus young. Councilman Lee, Mangan and Dempsey represent three Manasquan generations. This is exploitation for political gain and cronyism. For that, I give the mayor credit for choosing a side as opposed to the fence sitters who abstain from the vote. Hopefully, gravity will render that fence uncomfortable enough to force them over or out. As for the complainants, please let me know at what point in life one inherits such an unbridled sense of entitlement. This will be the impetus for my movement to shut down O’Neill’s, and all band concerts, parades, football games, and kindly ask the NJ State Police to refrain from firearms qualifications [the noise, you know]. No one is asking you to move to a golf course retirement community, besides, you’ll probably buy the glass house along the right side of the fairway, just to complain about the price of your homeowners insurance. Oh, and Mr. Mayor, it really annoys me when you grab the microphone on Little League Opening Day, Fourth of July, Christmas tree lighting, etc. The word hypocrisy, comes to mind. As far as “zero” tolerance, I find the signs offensive; please don’t define my level of tolerance for me. If indeed no tolerance exists at a certain age, well “I hope I die before I get old” [Pete Townshend, The Who, age 62, Saturday, May 19]. TOM KRUEGER Fletcher Avenue, Manasquan ~ SQUAN MAYOR, COUNCIL TO LOOK AT SCHOOL BUDGET CHANGES Editor, The Coast Star: The Manasquan Board of Education asked the voters to approve a budget with a 9.4

UNDER OBSERVATION One strategy for treating prostate cancer, called watchful waiting, also goes by the name observation, surveillance, and deferred treatment. Whatever it is called, it involves foregoing prompt, potentially curative, therapy. This is done with the knowledge that most prostate cancers grow slowly, and many neither produce symptoms nor affect mortality. Thus, watchful waiting can be undertaken in the belief that a man will likely die of another cause before his prostate cancer becomes threatening. This does not mean, however, that the cancer will go untreated. If symptoms develop or tests reveal that they are likely to occur, deferred treatment with deprivation therapy and/or radiation, while not curative, can provide prolonged relief of symptoms. If you have questions about or would like to be tested for prostate

cancer, call our office. We emphasize sensitivity and discretion with your urological needs and utilizes the latest urological technology and innovations. Additionally, we diagnose and treat other urological disorders including urinary incontinence, bladder and kidney disorders. If you have questions about today’s column or any other urological concerns, call 732-2237877 for our office located at 2401 Highway 35 (Orchard Park Medical Building), Manasquan or 732-206-9830 for the office at 525 Jack Martin Blvd., Suite 102, Brick. We treat genitourinary problems for adults and children. New patients are always welcome. P.S. While watchful waiting may not be an appropriate option for all men, it can be suitable for men of a certain age who can live comfortably with their diagnosis - provided they have early, asymptomatic disease.

Alyssa McGary [from left], David Schenke and Casey Wycoff, all seventh-graders at Spring Lake Heights Elementary School, participated in Youth In Government Day last Wednesday at borough hall.

Special Police Officers appointed By Kelly Skellinger Mayor Kenneth E. Pringle and the borough council passed a resolution last Wednesday evening appointing and confirming Brian Walters and Christopher Inglis as Class I Special Police Officers for 2007.

Both Mr. Walters and Mr. Inglis were eligible and qualified to be appointed as Class I Special Police Officers, effective immediately through Dec. 31 of this year. Both officers are not qualified to carry a weapon. Councilman Matthew Doherty offered the resolution and moved its adoption and Councilman William Merkler seconded the motion.

Wall Township Police blotter Wall Township Chief of Police David Morris reported the following recent police activity in the township: • On May 1, Mark Anthony Chase, 56, of Belmar, was arrested on Seventeenth Avenue by Ptl. Ian Hatch and charged with contempt of court, failure to appear. • On May 1, Penelope A. King, 29, of Ocean Grove, was arrested on Route 35 by Ptl. Sean O’Halloran and charged with possession of cocaine and morphine. • On May 1, Daniel A. Lopez, 19, of Point Pleasant, was arrested at the Point Pleasant Police Department by Ptl. O’Halloran and charged with contempt of court, failure to appear. • On May 2, at 2:28 a.m., the Wall Township Police responded to the area of Belmar Boulevard and Birdsall Road near the Howell Township border for a report of a motor vehicle accident involving a car striking a utility pole. On scene investigation revealed that the driver of a 1997 four-door Pontiac, James Stefan III, 21, of Howell, was traveling west on Belmar Boulevard when he left the roadway and struck a utility pole on the north side of the road. Mr. Stefan was arrested for driving while intoxicated as a result of the on-scene investigation. The pole sustained severe damage which required both lanes of Belmar Boulevard to be closed between Wyckoff Road and Birdsall Road. JCP&L responded and advised it will take approximately eight to 10 hours to repair the pole and the roadway will remain closed during the repair. Glendola Fire Company, Howell Township Fire Company and Howell Township Police assisted on scene. Ptl. Todd Kazanowski is handling the investigation.

• On May 3, at approximately 4:10 p.m., the Wall Township Police responded to a motor vehicle crash at Belmar Boulevard and New Bedford Road. Initial investigation revealed that Richard O’Toole, 53, of Belmar, was operating a fullsized Verizon utility truck. Mr. O’Toole, who apparently suffered from an unknown medical condition, blacked out. The truck veered off the roadway, striking a traffic light stanchion and knocking it down. He then went through a fence into Airplane Park playground. Wall First Aid, Wall EMS, Glendola Fire Department and MONOC paramedics responded to the scene. Mr. O’Toole suffered lacerations to his hands and was taken to JSUMC for treatment and evaluation. The traffic light stanchion was repaired shortly after the crash and the intersection was opened. • On Saturday, May 13, at approximately 5:28 a.m., Ptl. Steve Nash observed a substantial amount of smoke in the area of Allenwood Road. Upon further investigation, Ptl. Nash discovered the source of smoke to be coming from a large forklift which was fully engulfed in flames parked in the rear of 2030 Allenwood Road. The fire was extinguished by Glendola Fire Company without incident. The Wall Township detective Bureau, Wall Township Police Department K-9 Unit, Monmouth County Fire Marshall, Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office and Wall Township Fire Prevention all responded to the scene. The forklift’s estimated value is approximately $80,000. Ptl. Nash prevented another piece of commercial equipment

valued at $100,000 from being damaged by the fire by moving it from the scene. There were no reported injuries and the cause of the fire is under investigation. • On Saturday, May 13, at approximately 10:55 p.m., the Wall Township Police Department responded to a reported “rollover” motor vehicle accident in the area of Algonkin Trail and Tecumseh Place. The initial investigation revealed that a motor vehicle being operated by Michael Leineek, 44, of Perrineville, was rear-ended while traveling on Algonkin Trail by a motor vehicle being operated by Andrew Rempfer, 20, of Manasquan. As a result of the collision, Mr. Leineek’s vehicle was forced off the roadway and overturned. Mr. Leineek and his two passengers were transported to JSUMC by Wall Community First Aid and released. Mr. Rempfer was transported to Ocean Medical Center, Brick, and was subsequently arrested and charged with driving while under the influence and assault by automobile. Also responding to the scene was South Wall Fire Company. Ptl. Suresh Madhaven is the investigating officer. • On Monday, May 14, a vehicle rolled-over on Route 34 south near Interstate 195. A flat bed trailer carrying particle board operated by Abraham Dager, 29, of Kearny, was coming off the Interstate 195 eat off ramp for Route 34 south when he lost control causing his vehicle to roll over, coming to a rest across Route 34. Wall EMS, Glendola Fire Company, the State Police Truck Inspection Unit, NJ DOT Incident Command and State DOT officials all responded to the scene. Mr. Dager refused medical aid and was issued summonses. Ptl. Frank Kuhl is the investigating officer.

Spring Lake Heights kindergarten orientation is set for May 30 The kindergarten program at Spring Lake Heights Elementary School consists of a comprehensive curriculum filled with a wide range of activities that encourage children to learn through play. Parents are invited into the classroom to help with special monthly projects. Together, as families, they participate in cooking projects, clay play, technology and musical activities, arts and craft projects, and a myriad of tasks that encourage language and skill development. The teachers also designed a “…And How Was Your Day?” list of questions for parents to ask their child to promote meaningful conversations about their accomplishments in

kindergarten. Guest speakers, fifth-grade helpers and participation in Spring Lake Heights Elementary School’s charity events are also part of the kindergarten program. As part of the school’s goals, Heights kindergartners have walked a total of 50 miles this school year, which is quite an accomplishment for the 5-yearold students. Both kindergarten classes also take part in the Veterans’ Day assembly and the winter and spring concerts. They provide turkey soup and pumpkin pie for the entire school population for Thanksgiving. Spring Lake Heights Elementary School provides its students with a full day of cre-

ative, educational activities in a wholesome, nurturing atmosphere in newly renovated classrooms. The staff is committed to a strong home/school connection through weekly newsletters, class web sites and parent/teacher conferences during the school year. The school’s “round-up” of incoming kindergartners for the 2007-08 school year continues, and parents of children who will be 5 by Oct. 1 are encouraged to register their child as soon as possible. Kindergarten orientation is on Wednesday, May 30, from 9 to 9:45 a.m. Parents and children are invited. For further information call the school at 732-449-6149.

percent tax levy increase, which was defeated by a two to one margin. The defeated budget is now being reviewed by a committee of councilmen, who will present their recommendation to the mayor and council this Monday, May 21, at the town meeting. Come to the meeting and hear their justification for their recommendations, and how the members vote. It may be presumptuous of me, but I believe the committee will recommend significant reductions, with the largest being the elimination of the proposed purchase of the house at 48 Atlantic Ave. I also believe the mayor and council will approve the recommended reductions. The recommendations will then be forwarded to the board of education. The question is, will the board accept the recommendations and reduce the budget? Or, will they appeal the decision to the County Superintendent of Schools, and not listen to the mayor and council, and the people of the town. The board of education will have the mayor and council’s recommendations prior to their meeting on Tuesday,

Editor, The Coast Star: In a story headlined, “Pallone bashes oil drill plan,” on the front page of the Coast Star, May 10, 2007, Congressman Frank Pallone Jr. was featured bragging about his role in congressional opposition to expanding drilling for domestic oil and natural gas off the eastern seaboard. One week later, members of congress are screaming about the high price of gasoline and talking about investigating the oil companies. By limiting drilling in our territory, congress decreases domestic supply, raises the price and increases our dependence on foreign oil. Southern California has beautiful beaches and historically, there has been plenty of drilling there. The Gulf of Mexico also has beautiful beaches and a long history of off-

shore drilling. When congress panders to an environmental lobby and limits drilling, then blames the companies for high prices a week later, they look like hypocrites. No wonder the most recent Gallup Poll gives congress an approval rate of only 29 percent. KELAN VORBACH Mohegan Road, Manasquan ~ RECOVERY EFFORT LACKING IN WAKE OF RECENT TORNADOES? Editor, The Coast Star: Evidently, President Bush has a fixation with the National Guard. First, he was negligent showing up for duty in Alabama. Now, in the aftermath of the tragic tornadoes in Kansas, the governor said they are lacking personnel and equipment in their recovery effort. While being interviewed on television, the governor stresses that her hands are tied, because the vast amount of both these resources are in Iraq. Regarding the National Guard, I think we need a “new decider.” JOHN A. MERRIGAN Garden Place, Spring Lake Heights

THE COAST STAR, THURSDAY, MAY 17, 2007

O’Neill’s to hold 12th annual golf outing July 5 at Woodlake O’Neill’s Bar, Grill and Guesthouse is sponsoring its Twelfth Annual Golf Outing to benefit Tim O’Neill and the Stay Tough/Fight Hard Foundation. Tim has been diagnosed with ALS [amyotrophic lateral sclerosis], also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. ALS is a progressive neuro-degenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.

While there is currently no cure or treatment that halts or reverses ALS, there are several drugs in clinical trials that hold promise. It is estimated that an ALS patient’s health care costs will exceed $100,000 in the latter stages of the disease. The outing will be held on July 5 at the Woodlake Golf & Country Club. Those who want to contribute to the event can

do so by acting as a buffet sponsor, cocktail sponsor, corporate sponsor, green or tee sponsor, donating prizes for the silent auction, through monetary donations or participating in the golf outing itself. There are two shotgun starts for the outing, one at 8 a.m. and one at 1:30 p.m. Registration occurs at noon, and is $200 per golfer, which included greens fees, golf cart, refreshments,

gifts and prizes, plus a buffet and cocktails. Dinner is at 6 p.m. “We hope to make this outing extra successful for such a special person. Whatever you can do to help would be greatly appreciated,” said Jim O’Neill, owner of O’Neill’s Bar, Grill and Guesthouse, and brother of Tim O’Neill.

Woman’s Club joins state convention

Memorial Day Sale

The Woman’s Club of Spring Lake, a member of the New Jersey State Federation of Women’s Clubs, recently joined a number of other women’s clubs from the Shore area and across the state at the 113th annual Call to Convention of the state federation in Atlantic City. The three-day convention, which was held May 7 through May 9, included convention business sessions, as well as a number of workshops on topics such as leadership, public advocacy and public speaking. Representing The Woman’s Club of Spring Lake were Marie Agliozzo, president, Joyce Andaloro, who is also district vice president of the 37 Shore clubs, Sheila Miller, treasurer, and Lucille Caserio, assistant treasurer, and Jacqueline Sweeney Mullen, who is also the NJSFWC Arts Creative Department

Chairman. Included in the convention, an Achievement Day Gold Ribbon exhibition and arts creative judging, featuring approximately 400 entries by gold ribbon winners from club districts across the state. Top awards were given to 115 entrants, according to Arts Creative Chairman Jacqueline Sweeney Mullen. Four of the photography winners will participate in a judging at the National Federation meeting in Philadelphia in June. The Woman’s Club of Spring Lake, with 127 members which places it in the large membership category, has been extremely active during the year and was recognized by the state federation with awards in six different categories, including first place amongst large clubs for education, public affairs and communications.

Sea Girt resident Joseph J. Stypa died Thursday, May 3, at his home. He was 74 years old. Born in Linden, Joe lived in Mountainside since 1956, before permanently residing in Sea Girt, in 2000. He was a communicant of St. Mark’s, Sea Girt, and Our Lady of Lourdes, Mountainside. Joe earned his MSEE in 1962 at the Newark College of Engineering. He was founder and president of Technilease Corporation, Newark. He was an active member of St. Benedicts Preparatory School Alumni Association, Newark, and active player of the Mountainside Recreation Basketball League, exercising his hook shot until 2002. His 1965 Democratic candidacy for Mountainside Borough Council, to this day, remains the

Git’ Fired Up revamps its focus to include fun for the whole family By Jessica Stenstrom With a new location, a brand-new studio and a new repertoire, Point Pleasant Beach business owner Emily Nicolaides is gearing up for an exciting summer season. Mrs. Nicolaides has recently expanded the offerings at her studio, Git’ Fired Up, 626 Bay Ave., in Point Pleasant Beach, to include not only pottery but also a beading bar, clay work and glass fusing . “There is more comfortable seating and we have expanded what we have,” said Mrs. Nicolaides. “If there is a bunch of people here, we now have something everyone will want to try,” she added. The business owner said people interested in putting their artistic skills to work do not need to have prior experience to enjoy a visit to Git’ Fired Up. She said that anyone can walk in off the street and learn a new creative artistry technique. Mrs. Nicolaides said she bought the already-established business four years ago when she was looking for a career that would allow her time with her family. Recently the studio moved several storefronts up Bay Avenue, allowing her to expand her studio and its offerings. As a graduate of the Visual Arts School of Manhattan, she also wanted to utilize her education and love of arts. “We were thinking, what career could I do that I would love and the children could be around and be a part of,” said Mrs. Nicolaides. She said she and her daughter, Willow, now 7, had been to many ceramics studios where they painted pieces of pottery and those experiences helped her make the decision to start her own business. “This is a business we can be a family in,” said Mrs. Nicolaides. She said her husband, Chris, and her daughters, Willow and Nikita, 3, can often be found at the studio with her.

“Any age of child is welcome at my studio,” she said. “Having children in a creative environment offers endless opportunities for families to talk and be close.” Mrs. Nicolaides said the glass fusing is the newest addition to the studio. She said the process involves cutting glass and then heating it to meld it together creating one piece. “You can create anything,” she said, adding that making bowls, plates, vases, ornaments and suncatchers were all within the realm of possibilities. Mrs. Nicolaides said it is also possible to make belt buckles using the glass fusing. “This is something cool guys can do. It’s a little more masculine,” she said. “Dad doesn’t have to come here and be bored while he’s waiting for the kids,” she added. She said that with the move to the new studio, she is now able to offer her customers more party packages, including birthday party packages and gatherings catered to Scouts and other local organizations. Birthday party packages start at $14 per child for an hour of studio time, ranging to $25 per child for an hour-and-one-half of studio time. Parties can also be booked for painting ceramics, beading necklaces or bracelets or glass fusing. Two slices of pizza can be included per child for an additional cost of $3 each and an extra half hour of studio time can be booked for $50. Scouts can earn badges by taking a ceramics class where they make a pinch pot creation or a coil pot mug one day, and come back to paint their creations after they are dried and fired. There is another Scout class on painting techniques where children can paint a coupe dinner plate creating either an American Flag using a masking technique, creating a watermelon using a sponging technique or by using stamps and stencils to create their own design.

The camp classes will be scheduled for children ages 6 to 13 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 3 to 5:30 p.m. with the first week beginning on July 2. The camp will cost $60 per week. “The goal is to provide what art curriculum schools are missing,” said Mrs. Nicolaides. “This will give kids a chance to really get their hands dirty, being creative and learning about masters of art from all around the world.” Mrs. Nicolaides said that creativity makes a long-term difference in a child’s life. “It gives them the ability to get through challenges in life and feel good about themselves,” she said. Mrs. Nicolaides said the camp also gives children not interested in sports and dance an outlet to meet other children and do activities they enjoy. Year round the studio also offers a kids’ night program for those ages 5 and older from 6 to 8 p.m. each Friday night. Mrs. Nicolaides said this is a drop-off program that kids can be brought to on a Friday night.

Trying to pick a winner

Football Manasquan’s Maddox signs with Giants. Page 54

By Ray McCarthy WALL — Even though they carried a 14-1 record heading into their nondivisional BOYS BASEBALL game with Roses 11 Toms River North last Mariners 1 Wednesday, the St. Rose NON-DIVISIONAL baseball team still felt as if they had to prove something to the Shore Conference. The Purple Roses play in a somewhat soft B Central Division, and some naysayers have attributed the Roses’ inflated record to their divisional dominance. Critics were silenced, however, when St. Rose displayed the true

SPORTS TALK

“You came all the way out here for this?’’ It is a question I am asked every once in a while, almost always after one of our local teams have come up empty against an opponent on the road. It would be nice to always pick a winner to cover while spreading the coverage wealth, but if I could do that I would spend my time at the horse races and not the athletic fields. It is never an exact science when picking games to cover and sometimes you are burned. When it happens you feel almost as disappointed as the athletes, writing a losing game story about high school athletes is much more of a challenge than writing about professionals who don’t play up to their potential. The pros are playing for a paycheck and in the grand scheme of things are entertainers, high school athletes are playing for their school, their team and themselves. There is a big difference. That is why I feel like I have failed when the “game of the day’’ turns out to be a dud, while another local team is shining someplace else. It is like standing in front of the multiplex trying to pick a movie to see, but once you make the selection you can’t change theaters. That is the magic and madness of sports. You never know what you are going to get when you head to the fields even when the matchup might point to great things. You may pull for the underdog, but you can’t invest too much in their chances, because odds are you will be greeted with the question “You came all the way out here for this?’’ • Speaking of trying to watch great sporting events, there were a lot of cell phones buzzing and cars revving their engines near the end of the Wall and Manasquan girls softball game last Tuesday night at Rash Field. The girls were playing the same time as the Crimson Knights and Warriors met on the baseball diamond, which pulled more than a few fans’ interest in two directions. You had to feel bad for the Newman family, who had Chelsea pitching for Manasquan and son Brad playing first base a few miles away. The majority of the Wall players practically sprinted out of the dugout of Rash Field to make their way to the Wall Municipal Complex to catch the end of the baseball game. The boys obliged by playing a three-hour game that was finally won by Wall, but you would think the athletic directors would try to give both sports an equal chance to draw great crowds and not schedule them at the same time. The girls and boys basketball rivalry doubleheader was easily the best-attended games of the season when Manasquan hosted Wall, there is no reason why the softball and baseball games could not at least have staggered starts.

potential of their talent in a huge contest with North, the top-ranked team in the Shore Conference. St. Rose senior ace Anthony Ranaudo shut down North’s explosive bats with five strikeouts and just one run and five hits allowed over five innings pitched. While Ranaudo stymied North’s offense, the Roses’ bats came alive and exploded for a nine-run third inning. St. Rose took an 11-1 lead in the fourth inning, and the game eventually ended after five innings because of the 10-run mercy rule. “This feels great,” said Ranaudo, who will pitch for the Louisiana State University Tigers next spring. “It’s a lot of fun playing against a really good team.”

The Roses entered the game as the seventh-ranked team in the Shore, but that didn’t matter as they torched the Mariners’ highly-touted pitching for 11 runs on nine hits. In addition to being ranked No. 1 in the Shore, North entered the game ranked fourth in New Jersey, according to The Star Ledger. Leading the Roses’ offense were junior Connor Smith who went 2for-2 with two RBIs and sophomore Chris Bresnahan who went 2for-3 with two RBIs and a double. Bresnahan is one of the Shore’s leading hitters with a .458 batting average this season. “This was a big game,” Bresnahan said. “We came in psy-

All it took was a couple of runs for St. Rose senior pitcher Amanda Heyl and her teammates to gain all the momentum they would need in an eventual 3-0 victory against the Falcons. The win gave the Purple Roses their second straight

Monmouth County Tournament Blue Division title. St. Rose scored two runs in the bottom of the fourth inning and never looked back against Monmouth. The two-run cushion had to feel pretty comfortable for Heyl, who was clearly in the zone against the Falcons. Heyl allowed a single to start the game, before retiring the next 19 batters in a row. Heyl has been a part of nearly a half dozen tight games for the Purple Roses over the past two weeks. St. Rose went through a stretch of games in which they won five games in a row by a single run. “I am getting used to them,’’ said Heyl of close games. “As soon as my team pulled through I knew I had to bear down and work with

them. We did a great job today.’’ While Heyl had confidence in her teammates, the Purple Roses had to feel pretty good about the way Heyl was pitching. The senior ace struck out 14 batters. She didn’t allow a ball to leave the infield after the first inning. “Amanda comes through a lot for us,’’ said St. Rose coach Jenny Ross. “She keeps herself composed no matter who is on base. She has faced a lot of tough situations.’’ Ross felt all of the St. Rose tough games leading up to the final prepared them well for Monmouth Regional. “We played a lot of very difficult games before this one,’’ said Ross. “It built a

At the time, North was the top-ranked team in the Shore Conference.

By Len Bardsley SEA GIRT — The pessimist watching the boys lacrosse Shore Conference first round game between Manasquan and Freehold To w n s h i p Friday at the BOYS LACROSSE Sea Girt Warriors 13 Army Camp have Patriots 12 might thought it SHORE TOURNAMENT was going to be a wet, miserable day for the Warriors after a quick glimpse at the sky and the field. Manasquan was behind the Patriots for much of the game with ominous clouds looming in the distance. The Warriors, however, managed to avoid the upset bid by Freehold Township and shrug off a few raindrops in a exciting 13-12 win against the Patriots. The victory against 10th seeded Freehold Township sent the seventh-seeded Warriors to the quarterfinals against the second seed Toms River North on Monday [see story]. Manasquan’s biggest challenge against the Patriots was trying to slow down the Freehold Township offense led by middie and face off specialist Zach Carroll. Carroll kick started the Patriots’ offense by winning several face offs in a row before sprinting towards

the Warriors’ goal. Carroll scored several goals directly off the faceoff, usually right after a Manasquan goal, which would quickly swing the

momentum back in Freehold Township’s favor. The first half the Warriors seemed to want to match Carroll’s pace on offense, rushing their possessions instead of taking their time to get a quality shot on goal. The second half, Manasquan managed to slow both Carroll and its own offense with positive results, erasing a 7-4 Freehold Township halftime lead. “We were down early again,’’ said Manasquan senior Kelly Mahon, who provided five goals and two assists in the victory. “We were losing the possession battle

and losing the ground ball battle. You have to show heart in the second half, pick up more ground balls, and win everything. That is when you are showing the character of your team. I think we handled it well.’’ Mahon had the responsibility in the second half of taking face offs against Carroll. “To be honest we have been terrible on face offs all season,’’ said Mahon. “That guy [Carroll] was probably the best face off guy I have faced all season along with [Tom] Scotto from St. Rose. He was so quick. He was kicking my butt in the first half. In the second half I buckled down, tried my best and luckily won a couple.’’ The Warriors were trailing 10-7 early in the fourth quarter when Carroll scored off the face off nine seconds into the quarter before striking again 24 seconds later. Mike Frasco scored on a bounce shot for Manasquan with 8:57 left in the fourth quarter, to cut the advantage to 10-8, before Justin Leddy scored off a Frasco feed with 8:19 remaining to bring the Warriors within a goal. Leddy scored on a long bounce shot off a Kyle Woodward pass with 6:22 left in the fourth quarter to tie the game 10-10, before Mahon scored off a nice feed from

Wall to host premiere men’s, women’s soccer teams By Len Bardsley WALL — Some of the top soccer talent in the area will be playing out of the Wall Municipal Complex this summer. Real Shore FC will base its men’s and women’s teams out of Wall. The teams will practice at the municipal complex every Monday and Wednesday from 8 until 9:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 6 until 7:30 p.m. All practices are open to the public. Real Shore FC will be playing in the Men’s Premiere League and the Women’s Premiere League. The men’s Real Shore FC

— BARDSLEY — From Page 53 • Speaking of softball, Mark Margadonna should know all about bad luck, curses and karma, being a Red Sox fan, but the father of Wall second baseman Maggie Margadonna has to take some of the blame for what happened during his daughter’s second time to the plate against St. John Vianney on Saturday in the Monmouth County Tournament final. As a proud father, Mark Margadonna was boasting Maggie had yet to strikeout in 70 trips to the plate this season. Sure enough, Maggie was caught looking at a Diana Sansavera pitch in the third inning. Reliable sources did indicate the pitch was about six inches outside, but maybe the umpire also heard Mark before the game. • There were a few headscratching moments during the Monmouth County Track Championships at Neptune this week. The biggest one being do you really need to have six, yes I said six, unseeded heats of the boys 3,200? It was sort of like watching six undercards of a boxing match before getting to the main event when Colts Neck’s phenom Craig Forys finally came to the starting line. At a county championship teams should be limited to five entrants to an event, since it is supposed to be a championship meet. Christian Brothers Academy can save their dozen 3,200 runners for a dual meet. That might stop people from asking me, “You came all the way out here for this?”

season begins on Sunday at the Wall Municipal Complex when they host the Atlantic City Diablos at 6 p.m. Tickets can be purchased for $2 for students and $5 for adults. The women begin their season on the road when they face the Central Delaware SA Future on Saturday. The first home game for the women’s Real Shore FC team will be June 9 against the Boston Aztecs at Brookdale Community College. The teams will be a mix of former college, current college and high school players, looking to move to the next level. “We are basically the high-

est amateur level in the country,’’ said Mike Lyons, who will coach the women’s team. “It will be very high caliber. We will run it like a professional sports team.’’ The men’s team will be coached by Roger Bongaerts, a native of Holland, who has extensive coaching experience in Europe and the United States. The season will run from the middle of May until the middle of July and will feature eight games for the women and 10 games for the men. The league consists of teams throughout the United States with Real Shore FC being in the East Middle

Atlantic Division with Atlantic City, Central Delaware, Maryland, Northampton [Pa.], and Philadelphia. The players on the team are not paid so they can maintain their NCAA eligibility. Team expenses will be covered by corporate sponsors such as Adidas and the Soccer Post. The women’s team will feature local players such as Jen Lyons, who played at Wall and will attend High Point University and Erica Canning, who played at St. Rose and will attend Manhattan.

Manasquan’s Matt Maddox signs with the N.Y. Giants By Len Bardsley Matt Maddox, a 2002 Manasquan graduate, is a step closer to his lifelong dream of playing in the NFL after signing with the New York Giants on Monday night. The 6-foot-3, 310-pound offensive guard finished a stellar career at University of Illinois, last fall where he started four years for the Fighting Illini. Maddox was hoping to get picked in the recent NFL draft, but teams shied away from him due to a knee injury he suffered late in his senior season. “I was told by some people the fact his knee had been operated on twice in December scared the NFL,’’ said Matt’s father, Bill. Matt Maddox was invited to both the Chicago Bears’ and the Giants’ mini-camps for a workout and complete physical. It looked as though Maddox was a sure bet to sign with the Bears. Ron Turner, the Bears offensive coordinator, coached and recruited Maddox at Illinois before getting fired and joining the Bears, and the Bears offensive line coach Harry Hiestand had the same position at Illinois before joining Turner in Chicago. “He got a call from Ron Turner who wanted to bring him up for Bears mini-camp and see how his knee went,’’ said Bill Maddox. “He passed the Bears physical and they said they would sign him to contract.’’ Maddox attended the Bears mini-camp last weekend, but

was still unsigned when the Giants called him on May 14. Maddox reported to the Giants rookie mini-camp on Friday for a physical and workouts. Maddox got no indication the Giants were interested until Monday afternoon. Bill Maddox went up to Giants Stadium on Monday to see his son and give him some cash for his return trip to Chicago where he was expected to sign with the Bears. “They [the Giants] told him we are not letting him out of New Jersey without a contract.’’ Giants offensive line coach Pat Flaherty was impressed with Maddox, as was head coach Tom Coughlin. Coughlin greeted Bill Maddox after the practice. Coughlin and Maddox played football together at Syracuse University. “Coughlin played halfback at Syracuse, but was two years behind me,’’ said Bill Maddox. “He remembered who I was. I made one big play there and he talked about that one play, which I can hardly remember.’’ Though it was a surprising development for Maddox, Bill feels the Giants should be a good fit for Matt. “He got a better contract offer with the Giants than the Bears,’’ said Bill Maddox. “The Bears general manager was dragging his feet. His agent reviewed the roster of the Bears and Giants and he feels he has a better shot with the Giants.’’ Maddox will attend some

rookie workouts and meetings for the next few weeks before getting some time off in June. Maddox will report to training camp at University of Albany in the middle of July when he begins his quest to make the final roster. The Giants first preseason game is Aug. 11 at home against Carolina. The Giants open the regular season on Sept. 9, at Dallas.

Select Soccer camp at Atlantic Club The New Jersey Select Soccer Camp will be held at the Atlantic Club on July 16-20 from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. The camp is for boys and girls ages 7 through 14.

Heading into the first round of the Shore Conference Tournament against Red Bank last Wednesday, Manasquan senior Ryan McGrath stood at 198 career goals. In that game, McGrath, 17, scored five goals to up her

school record to 203 career goals and power the Warriors to a 19-12 win. “Not at all,” McGrath said when asked if she ever thought as an incoming freshman she’d score 200 career goals.“But when I got to 100, I thought, ‘Why not go for 200?’” Simply put, McGrath is a goal scorer.

High School Lacrosse 2007

St. Rose offense puts on show against Mon Don By Len Bardsley WALL — St. Rose had little trouble with Paramus Catholic on Wednesday as the Purple Roses rolled past the Paladins 15-4. St. Rose was hoping to use the game as a tune-up for its Shore Conference BOYS LACROSSE Tournament quarterfinal NOTEBOOK g a m e against Rumson on Monday [see story]. Jonyar Bagheri scored six goals to lead the Purple Roses in the victory. The six goals gave Bagheri a total of 96 career goals. Colin Aldino started the scoring off a Bagheri rebound with 10:07 left in the first quarter before Paramus Catholic tied the

game two minutes later. The Purple Roses would close out the first quarter with four straight goals to take a 5-1 lead. St. Rose put the game out of reach with six goals in the second quarter to take a commanding 11-1 lead. Joe McGowan, Tom Burrus, Pat O’Brien, Bagheri and Andrew Beelitz all provided goals for St. Rose during the dominant second quarter. “We ran well in transition and had a lot of opportunities,’’ said St. Rose coach Mark Cebulski. “The first quarter I would have liked to be a little more dominating, but by the second quarter things were well in hand.’’ Cebulski used his entire bench during the second half and got

goals from Bagheri and Beelitz, as well as a Rob Bianco breakaway goal. Cebulski was not worried about such an easy game being bad preparation for Rumson. “No one wants a total mismatch game, but no one wants a loss either,’’ said Cebulski. “We will need no emotional build-up for Rumson.’’ The Purple Roses lost to Rumson in the Shore Conference quarterfinal [see story]. The Purple Roses will host Toms River North today, before heading to the state tournament. The seeds for the New Jersey Interscholastic Athletic Association state tournament should be released today.

Wall still looking for a full effort after loss to Howell By Len Bardsley HOWELL — Wall boys lacrosse coach Chris Knight was worried BOYS LACROSSE heading Knights 7 into his t e a m’s Rebels 13 g a m e against NON-DIVISIONAL Howell on Wednesday night. Knight was hoping his team would be able to maintain the level of intensity it displayed against rival Manasquan on

Monday, but he had a feeling his team was in for a letdown against the Rebels. Knight didn’t want to be proven right. Much to Knight’s frustration, however, Wall came out flat in the first half before putting things together in the second half against Howell. A solid second half was not enough, however, in a 13-7 loss to the Rebels. Wall had played an inspired three quarters against the

Warriors on Monday, eventually losing to Manasquan 10-6. The Rebels are well below the Warriors in terms of talent this season. Howell went into the game against the Crimson Knights with a record of 4-9 with results similar to those of Wall. The Rebels took a 3-0 lead in the first quarter, two coming on man-up situations before the Crimson Knights got a shot on

WALL It all came together for Wall on Saturday in the Crimson Knights’ game against Toms River East. Wall coach Chris Knight was looking for a full four-quarter effort from his team all season and he got it against the Raiders. Wall put away Toms River East with an impressive second half, outscoring the Raiders 101, on their way to a 16-5 victory. It was the most impressive win of the season for the Crimson Knights, given the fact Toms River East led both St. Rose and Wall at halftime this season. “It was nice for the kids,’’ said Knight. “They were really fired up. It was the first four-quarter effort of the year, from the beginning to the end. From clearing the ball to rides, faceoffs man-down, man-up. We beat them in every aspect of the game.’’ Tom Gavaghan scored five goals, while Kevin Dahms and John Beal had four and Joe Perrino two. Ian Mueller had a goal and two assists in the victory. “Everyone had a great game,’’ said Knight. “It was one of those games we were looking for. It was great to see.’’ Wall could not maintain its momentum gained from the win against Toms River East, however, as the Crimson Knights fell to Brick Township 6-3 on Monday. Perrino, Dahms and Beal scored the goals for Wall in the loss. “It is amazing they can come from such a high to such a low,’’ said Knight. “Their goalie did

have a lot of saves. We were shooting, but everything possible went wrong with our shooting.’’ The Crimson Knights closed out the season with a game at Red Bank Regional yesterday in a game too late to be reported in this edition of The Coast Star. MANASQUAN Manasquan was hoping its second meeting against Toms River North would be better than the first, but not much changed when the Warriors faced the Mariners in the quarterfinal of the Shore Conference Tournament on Monday.

Manasquan fell to Toms River North 15-5. The Warriors lost to the Mariners 13-5 to open the season. Brendon Kinsley scored two goals for Manasquan on Monday, while Mike Frasco, Travis Gasner and Mike Acciavatti each had one in the loss. “They did everything good and we didn’t do anything good,’’ said Manasquan coach Mike Dowd in a blunt assessment of the game. One of the few highlights for

the Warriors was the return of senior Gage O’Connell, who took faceoffs for Manasquan. O’Connell has missed all of the season with a hamstring injury. “We have to put this behind us and move on to the next stage,’’ said Dowd. “Hopefully we have learned something and we will be ready for the state tournament.’’ Manasquan will get a tough tuneup for the states today when they travel to Moorestown to face the Quakers.

St. Rose can’t repeat effort against Rumson in SCT By Len Bardsley RUMSON — It turns out the St. Rose boys lacrosse team sent an inadvertent wake-up call to Rumson-Fair Haven on April 26. At the time the Purple Roses felt the hard-fought loss to the Bulldogs BOYS LACROSSE that day be a Roses 2 would confidence Bulldogs 12 booster if the teams SCT QUARTERFINAL were to meet again in the Shore Conference Tournament. It didn’t quite turn out that way for St. Rose on Monday when the Purple Roses traveled to Rumson for a Shore Conference Tournament quarterfinal game. The Bulldogs picked up their game several notches on their home turf, while St. Rose could not match the intensity it displayed a few weeks ago during the regular season meeting. The combination was a bad one for the Purple Roses, who fell 12-2 to the Bulldogs. “I think they might have come out flat the last game [April 26],’’ said St. Rose senior defender Steve Lorenzo. “They might have overlooked us. Since we gave them a good game last time they didn’t overlook us this time.’’ The regular season game was a defensive battle with the Purple Roses eventually falling 6-4. Monday’s game took on a similar look in the first quarter with both teams making good defensive stops early as the St. Rose and Rumson offensive units tried to find a rhythm. Steve Sutphen broke through with 6:51 left in the first quarter to give the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead when he came around the goal and sent a low shot into the cage. Drew Eastwood added a manup goal with 2:24 left in the first quarter to give Rumson a 2-0 advantage before the Purple Roses responded with a goal of their own. Jonyar Bagheri found Kevin Hopf open at the top of the crease and the junior attackman slipped a shot past Bulldogs

goalie Shawn Lynch with 16 seconds left in the first quarter. The Purple Roses failed to take the momentum gained from Hopf ’s late goal into the second quarter. “We played an OK first quarter,’’ said Lorenzo. “We were with them, when you lose a quarter 2-1 you are still in the game. We buried ourselves too deep [by halftime] and could not dig ourselves out.’’ The Bulldogs took all the drama out of the game in the second quarter, outscoring the Purple Roses 5-0, to take a commanding 7-1 lead at halftime. “I would say the difference was intensity,’’ said Lorenzo. “We didn’t come to play today and we should have. It is upsetting. I think we have the talent to play with this team.’’ Sutphen scored in the first 27 seconds of the second quarter and Rumson was off and running against the Roses. The momentum clearly swung in the favor of the Bulldogs as St. Rose failed to hold the ball for any length of time on offense. When the Purple Roses

checked the ball clear on defense, or when Dan McAteer made a save in goal, the Bulldogs often created turnovers as St. Rose tried to clear the ball out of the zone. “I think they [Rumson] played a great game,’’ said St. Rose coach Mark Cebulski. “They were very aggressive. I told the boys we didn’t win one category in the game, handling the ball, ground balls, transition.’’ The Bulldogs seemed to win every battle for loose balls and every race to clear the ball out of their zone. Rumson got the ball out of its own end 15 times out of a possible 18, meaning the Purple Roses could only pressure the Bulldogs into mistakes or turnovers on three opportunities. “I don’t want to imply we played with no effort,’’ said Cebulski. “The effort was there, but it was not enough effort.’’ The Purple Roses scored their only other goal with 8:44 left in the third quarter with the Bulldogs two men down. Joe McGowan took a pass from Chris Hoffman and

bounced a shot past Lynch to cut the Bulldogs’ advantage to 7-2. St. Rose had several good scoring chances, but Lynch, who would finish with 17 saves, made several excellent stops in the second half. Lynch stopped Hopf on a breakaway and later made a chest save on Andrew Beelitz from close range. “The challenge of us going forward is to get past this game,’’ said Cebulski. “This game will leave a sour feeling in my stomach for a long time. I felt we could have played better against this team and had a real legitimate chance to play even-up with this team.’’ Cebulski knows the Purple Roses have to set the tone to recover from the Rumson game in the next practice, they can’t wait for the next game. “We will see what intensity and desire they can bring to practice,’’ said Cebulski. “And what they bring to the next game. I would hope it would be a little more than today.’’

the Howell goal. Wall was no longer picking up ground balls with authority like the Crimson Knights did during the first half against Manasquan and possessions were stopped by Rebel checks or errant Wall passes. “From such a high to such a low,’’ said Knight. “We didn’t come to play today. We started flat and took a few penalties.’’ The Crimson Knights scored with 1:05 left in the first quarter when Kevin Dahms took a pass from Ian Mueller and skipped a shot past Rebels goalie Mike Rourke to trim the Howell lead to 3-1. Dahms’ goal would be the only one for Wall the entire first half. “I thought we would be up for it,’’ said Dahms of the game. “We showed when we have intensity what we can do against Manasquan. I thought if we showed the intensity here we would come out with a win. We let down in the beginning and dug ourselves a hole.’’ Howell broke the game open early in the second quarter, scoring four goals in a span of under three minutes. Sean Grimes scored with a run around the crease with 11:35 left to push the Howell lead to 4-1 before Aaron Braun scored on a low shot 22 seconds later. Braun scored again from the top of the box with 9:51 left in the second quarter to give the Rebels a 6-1 advantage before Eric Craig was left all-alone in front 15 seconds later to build the Howell lead to 7-1. The Crimson Knights had several long possessions after Wall fell behind by six goals, but

they could not generate quality shots on goal. “We didn’t capitalize on any of our opportunities and they would go down and score,’’ said Dahms. The Rebels scored two more goals to close out the second quarter, gaining a 9-1 lead at halftime. “The kids didn’t tank it,’’ said Knight. “They gave a much better second half than the first half.’’ The Crimson Knights were determined to make a game out of it in the second half. “It is lacrosse — you can get four goals in 30 seconds,’’ said Dahms. “That is what we were thinking [at halftime], pump them in right away and we did. We made them call timeout.’’ Dahms scored on a low shot off a Mueller feed with 8:32 left

in the third quarter, before taking a pass from John Beal and coming around the net to score 17 seconds later. The Wall defense got tougher in the second half, as Kevin Kirms and Josh Shields created turnovers and scooped up ground balls. The Crimson Knights also got several face off wins from Brendon Gill in the second half. “It was a good second half,’’ said Knight. “It is tough though, because we still have not gotten four quarters out of them.” The Crimson Knights cut the Howell lead to 9-4 early in the fourth quarter on a bounce from from Beal, but Wall started trading goals with the Rebels. Braun scored on a line shot with 10:16 and Tom Gavaghan scored off Dahms’ feed 19 sec-

onds later for Wall. Tom Pepe scored on a low shot for Howell only 27 seconds after Gavaghan scored, before Gavaghan and Dahms combined again to bring the score to 11-6 with 9:13 left in the fourth quarter. The Rebels would add two more goals to ensure there would be no dramatic Wall comeback before Dahms closed out the scoring in the final seconds for the Crimson Knights. Dahms finished with four goals and added three assists. “I have not played a full game,’’ said Dahms. “We can’t play a full game at all. They pump in six goals [in our bad quarter]. I think we should have come out and won this game.’’

Manasquan rallies past Freehold — FROM PAGE 53 — Leddy with 4:58 left to give Manasquan the lead for good. “That is what you have to do,’’ said Manasquan coach Mike Dowd. “Battle back. It is all about winning the little battles all over the field for 48 straight minutes and getting the job done. That is what we did.’’ Brendon Kinsley gave Manasquan a crucial two-goal lead with 2:47 left in the fourth quarter when he converted a shot from the crease. Mahon drew all the attention of the Patriots defense before sending a pass to a wide-open Kinsley who had the time to pick his spot to shoot on Freehold Township goalie Ethan Kibrick. The Patriots made sure the game would go down to the wire when Chris Buckner scored on a long bounce shot to trim the lead to 12-11 Manasquan with 2:10 left in the fourth quarter. It looked as though the Warriors had the game locked up when Woodward scored into a partially open net with Kibrick away from the cage trying to force a turnover with 1:02 left in

the game. Carroll struck one more time, however on a long-range shot with 16 seconds left to bring the score to 13-12. Carroll won the ensuing faceoff and the Patriots called a timeout to go for one final game-tying play. Frank Ciufo checked the ball out of a Patriots players’ stick, ensuring a Warriors’ victory. “We had trouble with their faceoff guy,’’ said Dowd. “That was the main problem. That kid was really good. We were able to bear down and at least neutralize the faceoffs and get a little more possessions. We were able to settle in and get a little more comfortable.’’ One reason the Warriors were able to settle in and get comfortable was moving Mahon from attack to middie. Manasquan has been missing senior middie Gage O’Connell all season with a hamstring injury and lost Ryan Heisler to a shoulder injury last week. Mahon started the game at attack, but Dowd felt it would be better to move him to middie once he saw the Patriots were planning on face-guarding [hav-

Perhaps it was this positive attitude that ultimately propelled St. Rose to its first win of the season as they cruised to a 14-7 victory over Lacey. Junior Jenny Canning led the Roses with four goals, while senior Alyssa Mahon tallied three of her own. “We all came into the game motivated,” Mahon said. “We

ing a player constantly follow the Warriors leading scorer with his stick up to try to block any potential passes]. “We thought that would be the best way to free me up,’’ said Mahon of moving to middie. “It did in the transition game. it is a lot different playing middie. You have to bear down, play some

defense, run the field pick up ground balls. It helps when we are getting the ball on offense, moving it around and possessing it.’’ The work is worth it for Mahon because if Manasquan can gain possession he can do what he does best, score goals and start Warrior comebacks.

had good communication, our transition was good, and we clicked as a team.” The win was a bright spot in a season that has seen its share of disappointments for the Roses. Four of the Roses’ 11 losses this season have come to stateranked teams Rumson and Shore. Combined, the two teams are 30-3 on the season. Several other losses that St. Rose suffered this season were agonizingly close calls that could have easily gone in the Roses’ favor. “Our inconsistency has killed

us from the beginning,” said St. Rose coach Kristen Marlatt. “Finally, they seemed to come together today. Their transition play and passing were phenomenal.” A fluid offense opened up an early scoring barrage from the Roses. Kaela Mahon tucked one in the corner when she received a nice feed in front from Isabel Miksic for a 1-0 lead. Alyssa followed with an unassisted effort to make it 2-0, and

Squan earns tournament win over Arthur L. Johnson By Len Bardsley WALL — Manasquan freshman second TENNIS singles playNOTEBOOK er Jimmy Aridas takes some comfort playing in between seniors John Van Wagner and Bryson McTighe. Aridas can just look to one side or the other to get a quick bit of advice or some encouraging words. When Aridas looked to over to McTighe at first singles on Tuesday, during the Warriors Central Jersey Group II state tournament match against Arthur L. Johnson, he might have picked up a little nervous tension. McTighe was having a tough time in his match with Chris Tylutki, meaning Aridas would probably have to pull out his match against Mike Keenan to help push the Warriors past the Crusaders. As he has done often this season, Aridas adapted well, pulling out a 6-4, 6-4 win against Keenan to help give Manasquan a 3-2 victory. The Warriors advance to face Governor Livingston today at the Atlantic Club. Aridas was more than a little anxious before the match. “Jimmy impressed me today,’’ said Manasquan coach Rod Ravaioli. “He was a nervous wreck in the beginning. I told him to relax and take control of the situation and have patience. That is exactly what he did.’’ Aridas was won the first set 64, but was down 4-1 in the second set, knowing McTighe had lost his first set next to him. “I am sure he had a sense it would be on him more than he might have wanted, but there it is,’’ said Ravaioli. Aridas has adapted to playing a steady, defensive game at second singles. He might be a little more offensive, but a shoulder injury has forced him to serve underhand. Aridas has had shoulder trouble since seventh grade and suffered a stress fracture in his growth plate

before the season started. “It is not that much of a challenge,’’ said Aridas. “I had adapted to the underhand serve. I am pretty much on the defense all the time. I have gotten my ground strokes better than they were before. I think that has helped me.’’ Aridas had one advantage on Tuesday, he didn’t have to worry about the heavy winds blowing the ball as he tossed it for a serve. Aridas likes the calming effect of playing between McTighe and Van Wagner, most of the time. “I am getting more comfortable because I have Bryson and John next to me,’’ said Aridas. “They help me when I am on the court. They keep me going when I am down and try to bring me up.’’ Ravaioli was thrilled with how Aridas handled his first state tournament match. “I am really happy for Jimmy,’’ said Ravaioli. “He is progressing so well.’’ The Warriors also got a 6-3, 61 win from Van Wagner and a solid 6-1, 6-2 victory from the second doubles tandem of Peter Tausek and Brendan Dooley. Van Wagner has enjoyed his senior season and taking on more of a leadership role for the Warriors. “My game has improved this year and I have gotten more mature in terms of my game. My serve and forehand has gotten a lot better.’’ Van Wagner knows the team is counting on him to fight for every point. “Sometimes you have to encourage the younger kids on and not give up on your matches,’’ said Van Wagner. “You know that you have to set an example for the younger kids.’’ Ravaioli tried to put the emphasis on the veteran players’ matches; Van Wagner, McTighe and the first doubles team of junior Kyle Smith and senior Kent Osche. “It is ironic,’’ said Ravaioli. “I told the younger kids, this is not on you, it is more on the older

kids. It turned out the younger kids were the ones who were able to come through.’’ The combination of Tausek, a freshman, and Dooley, a sophomore, had little trouble with Brian Luty and Joe Brocoli. “They have been very consistent,’’ said Ravaioli of the second doubles team. They have been a major asset to our program and the season. They are two great kids who I think will progress nicely.’’ Ravaioli didn’t think Tausek, who plays soccer, and Dooley, who plays football, got caught up in the pressure of a state tournament match. “They are confident kids,’’ said Ravaioli. “They are both athletes, one plays soccer, the other football. I don’t think this is a high pressure situation for them as it might be for those who just play tennis.’’ ST. ROSE St. Rose finished the season with a solid 4-1 victory against Neptune on Tuesday. The Purple Roses closed out the season with a record of 10-8. St. Rose coach Jerry Joyce was especially pleased with the play of his three senior singles players, Anthony DeSarno, Bill Fay and Shane Nolan. “I expected we would beat teams like Asbury and Keansburg,’’ said Joyce. “We won the matches that could have gone either way. Anthony De Sarno playing at first singles helped a lot. He came out of nowhere.’’ Joyce also gave a lot of credit to Fay and Nolan. “Bill Fay is an experienced player,’’ said Joyce. “Coming out of basketball he was in great shape and he showed a lot of range. Shane Nolan won about 80 percent of his matches. He is athletic and being athletic you can win a lot of your matches at third singles.’’ Joyce was also encouraged by the play of his doubles teams, including sophomores Kevin Canning, Brian Wilderman, Pat Perry and freshman Evan Blacker.

Manasquan second doubles player Brendan Dooley prepares to return a shot during the Warriors Central Jersey Group II first roundmatch against Arthur L. Johnson at the Atlantic Club on Tuesday. Dooley and his partner Pete Tausek won 6-1, 6-2, to give Manasquan the match-clinching third point against the Crusaders.

“The doubles came around,’’ said Joyce. “They were scrappy and had a great time. Evan showed a lot of finesse, he gets his serves in and has a brilliant net game. He will be playing singles next year. It was a great year. It was fun, the kids got a lot out of it.’’ WALL Wall hosted Manasquan yesterday in a match too late to be reported in this edition of The Coast Star.

Squan’s valiant fight not enough to topple Jags in SCT By Ray McCarthy JACKSON — It took the Manasquan girls lacrosse team just five seconds to score in their Shore Conference Tournament quarterfinal game against Jackson on Friday. Though GIRLS LACROSSE the goal was Warriors 11 i m m e n an se Jaguars 14 m o m e n tum boost SCT QUARTERS to the sixth-seeded Warriors, they knew defeating the third-seeded Jaguars would not be as easy as they made the game’s first goal look. In what proved to be a classic back-and-forth battle between two evenly matched teams, the Jaguars’ high-powered offense eventually proved to be unstoppable as Jackson came out on top 14-11. The loss eliminated Squan from the Shore Conference Tournament. “We were so upset after the Jackson game because we believed that we were a good match if not the better team,” Manasquan coach Maria Eldridge said. The Warriors opened up the game by winning the draw decisively, and the ball found its way into the stick of senior attacker Christie Furman. Furman carried up and delivered a perfectly placed pass to fellow senior Nora Wallace, who was blitzing toward the goal. Wallace striped one top shelf, and the Jackson keeper had no chance. Just seconds into the game, Squan had a 1-0 lead. Despite suffering a severe ankle injury in a game against Wall two weeks ago, Wallace took the field against Jackson and used her unmatched speed to execute countless sprints on goal. One of the best shooters in the Shore, Wallace tallied three goals and two assists on the day. The Jaguars responded quickly, however, and this would be a

frustrating recurring theme for the Warriors throughout the afternoon. Squan senior Abby Scribner was called for a check to the head in front of the Warriors’ goal, and Jackson was awarded a set play as a result of Scribner’s yellow card. The Jags tied it 1-1. Furman, however, made her presence felt when she lingered behind Jackson’s net and coordinated the Warriors’ offense. Furman found a streaking Olivia McCarthy, and the freshman put home a tough shot to give her team the lead again 2-1. It would be the last time the Warriors held a lead in the game. Jackson tied the game a halfminute later, and the Jags poured on three straight goals to eventually take a 5-2 lead. One of Jackson’s strongest players, Kierstyn Mabey, scored two goals in the barrage. It was at this point that the Shore’s leading goal scorer, Squan senior Ryan McGrath, stepped up and made a big impact in the game. McGrath was awarded a set play in the Jackson zone after a foul midway through the first half. She fed Wallace, who found Furman lingering in a familar position behind the net. McGrath penetrated the Jackson defense, and she converted a nice pass from Furman to make it 5-3. It was the first of four goals on the day for McGrath, who has 63 goals this season. The Warriors’ next goal came when McGrath made a charge up the field, but she had beaten the rest of her own offense. McGrath avoided defenders and showed patience in waiting for the rest of her offense. She struck while the Jags’ defense adjusted and scored her second goal to narrow the gap 5-4. Despite the two-goal burst from Squan, they couldn’t sustain their momentum, and Jackson soon took back control of the game.

The Jags strung together two of their own goals as part of a 31 run that ended the half with them leading 8-5. Wallace had a great scoring opportunity off of a set play with 25 seconds left, but it sailed just wide. The Warriors rebounded as they struck first in the second half. Sarah Mahon converted a nice unassisted effort to start the half. Jackson scored quickly, but Wallace avenged her miss to end the first half when she received a nice feed from Jamie Gyftakis. In full speed, Wallace whipped a shot across her body and the goal to tuck one in the far corner off of an impossible angle. Her goal cut the deficit to 9-7. A resilient Jags team, true to form, responded once again to make it 10-7. To illustrate Squan’s troubles with sustaining momentum from their own goals, the Jags were able to string together runs of two or more goals four separate times. “Our girls made bad decisions and had a ton of turnovers from bad passes and going out of bounds,” Eldridge said. Trailing 10-7, Furman delivered once again to a streaking Wallace, and Wallace made a beautiful goal on the run.

Furman had three assists on the game. “In the past weeks, some of our players have really stepped up when Nora and Ryan are being face guarded,” Eldridge said. The unsung Warriors’ defense performed as well as they could in the face of a relentless Jags offense. Courtney Carpinello did a great job patrolling the edge of the zone while senior Meghan Quigley stifled the goal mouth. Defense created offensive opportunities for Squan. McGrath followed Wallace’s effort with her own well-placed, sidearm shot to the low corner to make it 10-9 in a huge swing of momentum. Jackson responded a minute later, but the Mahon tallied her second goal of the game to cut the lead 11-10 and sustain the Warriors’ momentum. That momentum was shortlived, however, as Jackson executed their fourth and last twogoal drive with just under two minutes remaing to stretch their lead to 13-10. McGrath scored the Warriors’ last goal when she carried from half-field with one minute remaining, meandered through defenders, and tucked one in for a 13-11 score.

LAUREN PARKER, The Coast Star

Manasquan’s Olivia McCarthy grabs a loose ball in a game against St. Rose earlier this season. McCarthy, just a freshman, has been one of the Warriors’ most integral players this season. McCarthy had a goal and an assist in Squan’s SCT quarterfinal game against Jackson on Friday.

Jackson sealed the victory with a set play goal with 30 seconds remaining. Despite the loss, Eldridge

noted a drastic improvement in her team’s play from the beginning of the season. “It's really nice to see us come

together as a team, and they have all grown so much since the beginning of the season,” she said.

St. Rose earns first win of season vs. Lacey — FROM PAGE 57 — Caroline Styslinger put together her own unassisted goal to give the Roses a 3-0 lead just minutes into the game. Canning completed the fourgoal blitz when she beat a couple of defenders and tucked one in the side. Complacency, an arch nemesis that has plagued the Roses throughout the season, soon took over, and Lacey was able to threaten the lead. A 4-1 scoring run soon nar-

rowed the Roses’ lead to 5-4, but Lacey’s last goal made St. Rose realize they had to continue playing. Styslinger and Canning responded by adding their second goals of the game. Alyssa tallied her third goal of the game when she streaked toward the goal and received a great running feed from Heather Knipper to end the half with an 8-4 Roses lead. The seamless offense that the Roses created against Lacey has been a goal throughout the season.

“Our teamwork was great,” Alyssa said. “It’s a great accomplishment to win, and I think we could’ve won more games.” The younger Mahon, Kaela, struck first in the second half when she fired one in the corner off of a set play. According to Marlatt, Kaela will be looked at as one of the team’s leading seniors next year. “We’re looking for her to take Alyssa’s place with her speed and shooting ability.” Lacey added another one to make it 9-5, but the Roses struck quickly to quell any chance of a

rally from the Lions. Alyssa found Knipper breaking toward the goal, and Knipper fired one five-hole to beat the Lacey keeper for a 10-5 lead. After another Lacey goal, the Roses rattled off three straight to blow the game open and take a commanding 13-6 lead. In that three-goal spurt, Canning tallied her fourth, and final, goal of the game. Knipper received a needlethreading pass from Kaela in the closing minutes, and Knipper put home her second goal to ice the 14-7 victory.

Though seniors like Alyssa and Knipper have been integral parts to the team the past four years, Marlatt said she will rely upon her underclassmen and juniors to begin building the St. Rose lacrosse program. “A highlight of the season was watching individuals step up,” Marlatt said. “The intensity and willingness to learn from the underclassmen impressed me.” The Roses’ last home game this season will be on May 21 when they host Red Bank Catholic.
