The long-awaited Bethany Road Bridge project should
get underway this summer, according to Rick Halczli,
a senior structural engineer with the New Jersey Highway Authority.
The authority is responsible for the bridge, which crosses
the Garden State Parkway.
The project, which will include new fencing and side
walks to make the it safer for people to walk across the
bridge, has been held up pending a three-way agreement
between the authority, Hazlet and Holmdel.
The bridge forms part of the boundary between the two towns.
Holmdel officials have recently agreed to sign the agree
ment, and “(we’re) shooting for a July construction award,” Halczli said.
They hope to have the work completed before
Thanksgiving or late November, Halczli said, but cautioned
that may be optimistic.
The road will remain open during construction, with pos
sible one-way traffic in alternating directions during off-peak
hours, said Halczli..
The sidewalk will be eliminated on the south side and
widened to about twice the present width or six feet on the
north side. Also, new chain-link fencing will be installed and
improvements made to the road approaches.
The total cost has been estimated at about $800,000.
Hazlet, which has been pushing for the project for several
years, will contribute $22,500 and Holmdel $7,500 for the
approach work. When the arrangement was negotiated,
Holmdel officials said the improvements would benefit
Hazlet the most because the new sidewalk would be on the Hazlet side.
Once the improvements are completed, Hazlet school offi
cials may be able to eliminate courtesy busing for students
who have to walk across the bridge to get to school.

Staff Wr i ter
Many familiar faces will be gone from the Matawan-Aberdeen Regional School District by September.
About 50 long-time staff members, taking advantage of the district’s recently- adopted early retirement plan, are leaving— and those people range from the superintendent of schools, to teachers, to custodians.
It is the largest changeover in the history of the district, according to Michael Klavon, assistant superintendent of schools.
Normally, he noted, the district has a turnover of about eight or fewer employees a year.
And of that number, four or five are usually temporary employees to take the place of those on sabbaticals or taking the place of some one on a leave of absence.
All of the people taking early retirement have worked for 25 years or more.
There are many incentives to taking the early retirement program. Anyone who has worked for 25 years or more can retire and have full health benefits paid for life, Klavon noted. Also, the retiree gets a five-year pension credit added to the years he already has in the pension system.
The net savings for the district over the
next 13 years are estimated to be approximately $1 million to $2 million, according to Ron Novack, director of finance.
The district expects to save money by replacing teachers high on the pay scale with newcomers. The average retiring teacher at the school district makes $55,600, and the incoming teacher will be earning about $33,600, Novack said.
The savings will outweigh the program’s cost to the district, he said, and the profits are expected to increase over the years.
The state, which operates the school employees’ pension fund, in December offered local districts the option of joining the early retirement plan
“There’s a substantial cost to join the plan,” Novack said, “but a substantial savings as well.'’
When the Matawan-Aberdeen Regonal Board of Education decided to participate, it agreed to finance the early-retirement pension costs and sick pay for its employees.
“Assuming we have 47 retirees in the first year,” Novack said, “we have a payroll savings of $1,006,000. but based on the cost for the sick leave and payout to the state in pension costs, that comes to $898,000.”
That nets the district $108,000 in the first year. In subsequent years, the savings are expected to increase.

(6397)
According to Novack, in the second year, the district would save $980,000 on its payroll, and the cost would be $700,000.
In the third year, payroll savings are projected at $954,000, and the cost would be only $358,000. Payroll savings in the fourth year would be $754,000, and the cost would again be $358,000.
The search for the fresh faces is about to begin.
“Within the next week or two, we will put ads out in the major newspapers and professional journals,” said Klavon.
The hiring will be done as soon as possible, hopefully by June, he noted, in case a person has to give their employer 60 days notice.
With teachers, they should be put in place so that they have all summer to prepare for their job, he said.
All of the job listings will be posted in one advertisement instead of individual ads, he noted.
“In addition, we get resumes in all of the time, and the colleges will have their graduations in May, so we expect a slew of resumes,” Klavon said.
Normally, he said, one advertisement

READY TO RETIRE — Marilyn DiSanto, a teacher at the Ravine Drive Elementary School, Matawan, is one of about 50 staff members of the Matawan-Aberdeen Regional School District retiring this year. It is the largest staff turnover in the district’s history. DiSanto, a teacher here for 32 years, spent her life in the district; she also attended elementary school and high school in Matawan.

Candidates enter m u n ic ip a l p rim ariesABERDEEN
Two Republicans will compete in the June primary election in a bid for their party’s endorsement for a one-year, unex
pired term on the Township Council.
Facing each other in the contest are Wayne H. Smith of 2 Third St., the in
cumbent, and Ronald Mirante of 521 Line Road.
Only one Democrat, Richard B. Wolfe of 120 Warren Drive, filed a petition to run in the primary.
Thursday was the deadline for announcing candidacies.
IBIncumbents John J. Bradshaw, 9 Otter
St., and Mary Jane Wiley, 13 Monmouth
St., have filed as Republican candidates
for two available three-year seats on the Township Committee. Bradshaw is seeking re-election and Wiley is seeking election to a seat vacated earlier this year by Joan Horan.
Wiley was appointed to an unexpired seat in December following the death of
Deputy Mayor James Cullen.
Committeeman Don Malloy, 4 Jane Place, who was appointed in January to
Horan’s seat, has filed for the one-year unexpired term resulting from Cullen’s death.
The Democratic candidates for the two three-year terms are Robert W. Dubina, 267 Middle Road, and Marion A. Galvin, 590 South Laurel Avenue. Dubina ran unsuccessfully last year.
The Democrats have not nominated a candidate for the one-year unexpired term, but could still do so by backing a
write-in candidate in the June 7 primary.
Bradshaw is seeking his fourth full term and Wiley her fifth. Wiley retired
from municipal government after serving many years when she agreed in November to fill Cullen’s seat.
The committee is currently all Republican. Bradshaw is in his third consecutive year as mayor.
I-'HOLMDEL
While two Republican incumbents will
run uncontested in the June 7 primary for two seats on the Township Committee, perennial Democratic candidate Walter W. Wood and his daughter, Christina L. Wood, face a challenge in the Homdel race.
Gary Aumiller and Robert Giannone will be the only Republicans running in the primary.
Democrat Wood, of 4 Cherry H ill Road, and his daughter Christina, of the
same address, will be running together for
the second time.
They will be challenged by Edward
Wentz, of 84 Crawfords Corner, and Paul
J. Cavise, Jr., of 20 Huntley Road.
HThe mayoral race is crowded this year.
Borough Councilwoman June E. Atkins of 315 Atlantic St. will challenge
Mayor John J. Merla in the Republican primary June 7.
Councilman Kevin Graham of 25
Myrtle Ave. has filed to run for mayor as
a Democrat, and Edward Burlew of 90
Maple Place is running as an independent.
Merla of 104 Washington St., an
nounced last month that he would seek a
second four-year term as mayor.
For the two, three year terms on the Borough Council, there will be no primary contests.Running as Republicans are William R. Cerase of 9 Kearney St., an incumbent, and Robert A. Burlew of 64 Chandler Ave.
Running on the Democratis ticket are Robert J. Bergen of 16 Green Grove Ave., an incumbent, and Joseph Wedick of 17 Therese St., a newcomer.
MATAWAN
Four candidates have filed petitions to
run for two, three-year seats on the Borough Council.
The Republican candidates are John E.
Shepherd Jr. of 275 Harding Blvd., and
Kevin Mandeville of 33 Park Ave., both
incumbents.
The Democratic candidates are James
E. Sftea of 282 Middlesex Rd. and Joseph Naughton of 7 Fountain Ave.

ry-

will attract 300 resumes.Ideally, he said that a college graduate
with top credentials would be put into he job, because “the whole icea of the early retirement plan is to stive taxpayers money.”
However, they would just as soon hire a person with six or seven years of experience.
“You look for a well-ro inded faculty,” Klavon said. “If someone comes in, 50 years old, conducts a bril iant interview with excellent resources...”
Klavon added that the district is an Affirmative Action district, and minorities are strongly encouraged to apply.
Out of 500 district employees, only 30 are minorities, Klavon said. Out of 300 teachers, 10 are minorities.
Board of Education member Leonard Rose, who is black, said that he hopes an
effort will be made to hire minorities, but that only the best applicants should be considered for any opening.
. “There are 3,500 students and 20 percent are minorities,” Rose noted. “Out of more than 300 faculty members, there is only one, male minority. I think that there should be more consideration posed at the multi-ethnic complexion of the community and it should be reflected in the staffing.”
Barbara Horl, president of the Matawan-Aberdeen Regional Board of Education, said that the project will be a shot in the arm to the district.
“What makes any school district strong is the quality of it’s staff,” she noted. “In many ways, this is a difficult time, but there is excitement in the air. There hasn’t been such a period of growth in this community since the Levitt developers came in the early I960’s.”

tive way,” she added. “It gives us the opportunity to bring on board people who have a fresh perspective and it will bring us the best of talents.”
Harriet Primack, the director of curriculum, said she is looking forward to getting the newcomers acclimated to the district and showing how it operates.
“We are currently developing in-service courses dealing with how we teach and what we expect,” Primack said.
Klavon said that the new employees must “really care about the children’s total needs” including social and academic.
“We are looking for a person with vision; that person has to be a leader and know where they want to go and also have the faculty and parents share that vision,” she said.
The ideal candidate will also communicate well with parents and staff.
“In addition to knowing how to teach, they must know what to teach,” Klavon added. “They must have up-to-date research.”
‘They must be energetic and dynamic and able to work with all facets to cooperate together,” Klavon said.
She added that the administrators try not to intimidate the person being interviewed.
“You spot and work through the nervousness; you put them at ease so you can get from them what you need,” she said. “It is a skill that interviewers learn. But education is the business of communication and you’ve got to be able to communicate what you do.”
“Over the years, the college kids have become more sophisticated an aren’t as afraid and nervous as they were during interviews 20 years ago,” Primack added.
The task to find a new superintendent will be left to the Matawan Aberdeen
Regional Board of Education.Those retiring include Strathmore
Elementary School teachers Marilyn Baldi, Judi Bernstein, Regina Feldman, Marie Jacolowk, secretary Audrey Lloyd,, and the school’s popular principal, Phyllis Shore.
At Matawan Avenue Middle School, retiring are Audrey Arian, W illiam Blanken , Wille Hill, Stanley Lachiewicz, and Elissa Lande, all teachers.
The Matawan Regional High School w ill be losing Carol Bucco, Eugene Jaczynski, Anthony McKenna, all teachers, Irma Bullard, the food services director, Janet Orrok, the cafeteria leader, and Delores Schetelich and Elvira Wilson, the cafeteria general workers.
Saying good-bye to the Lloyd Road Elementary School will be Margaret Graham, a cafeteria general worker, Rosemarie Groth, a cafeteria leader, Rebecca Hutcheson and Laura Grossman, both teachers, Virginia Marr, the computer teacher and trainer, and Lois Whiting, the assisting principal and director of elementary education.
Farewell to the Ravine Drive Elementary School will be bid by teachers Marilyn DiSanto, Regina Feldman, Gail Ewin, Janet Fischer, Anthony Gatto, Marcia Romeo and James Sodano.
In addition to many other employees, Adult High School coordinator Mary Ryan and Adult High School Teacher Shirley Beilin plan to retire.
Primack noted that many of the retiring staff members are dynamic assets to the district and will be missed.
“There are some phenomenal teachers,” she noted. “But we are looking forward to a new phase in the district.”
“We want to continue looking forward to new people new ideas,” she said.
Beach cleanup set fo r SaturdayABERDEEN — A Cliffwood Beach clean-up will take place from 10 a.m, to
noon Saturday.Participants are asked to wear sturdy shoes and bring gloves. All other materi
als will be provided by the sponsors, the Aberdeen Township Environmental Board and the Monmouth County Clean Communities Program.
Last year, nearly 1,000 pounds of debris were removed from the beach by more than 100 volunteers.
All heavy materials will be removed by the township’s Public Works Department and the State of New Jersey Clean Shores prisoner work program during the prior week of cleanup.
For more information, call Frank Huza at 566-2390.

Construction set to begin on center_________BY MARILYN DUFF________
Staff Wri ter
HAZLET— Ground may be broken as early as next week on the new community-senior center planned for Veterans
Park.At a special meeting Thursday, the
Township Committee accepted a
$986,000 construction bid from Tri-PIex
Industries, Inc., Avenel.One of six bidders, Tri-PIex submitted
the low offer. The highest bid was for
$1,193,121, according to Municipal
Administrator Margaret Margiotta.
Margiotta said Friday the next step
was to have the township attorney draft a contract. She estimated work would begin
by April 25 or, at the latest, the first week
in May.The center is scheduled to open Oct. 1,
said Margiotta.The township has approximately
$420,000 in hand for the project, including a $250,000 donation from National
Amusement Co., Inc. and the Price Club,
which has generated an additional
$20,000 in interest, and a $147,000 Community Development Grant for a
senior center.The balance of approximately
$569,000 will be bonded through a Monmouth County Improvement
Authority pooled financing program as part of this year’s long-term capital
improvement program, Margiotta said.The new building — to be called the
James J. Cullen Community-Senior
Center after the late committeeman and
former mayor who died last fall — will be
built on the site of a former recreation
building at the Union Avenue entrance to Veterans Park.
The one-story stone and glass structure
will face the interior of the park.
It will house recreation offices and the Hazlet Playtime Nursery School, both of
which moved from the old recreation building in March and are temporarily
housed elsewhere, and a senior center, something Hazlet seniors have sought for many years.
‘M u s ic M a n ’
comes to to w nABERDEEN — The “Music Man”
will be presented by the Matawan Re
gional High School Players at 8 p.m. on
April 28, 29, and 30 at the high school on
Atlantic Avenue. A'free senior citizen’s matinee will run 2 p.m. April 24.
The play takes place at the turn of the
century and revolves around the smooth
talking Prof. Harold H ill (played by
senior Jay Winston) who tries to con the
stubborn River City Iowans into forming
a town band. Starring in the production is
Beth Fishman, a junior, playing beautiful
town librarian Marian Paroo, and Matt
Pick, a senior, playing Marcellus
Washburn. Every school in the Matawan-
Aberdeen Regional School District will
be represented in this production. For
tickets, call 290-2845.

K eyport budget w ou ld raise tax rate 6 cen ts
BY LAUREN JAEGER
Sta f f W r i t e r
KEYPORT — The proposed 1994 municipal budget would mean a $64 annual tax increase to a resident of a home assessed at $100,000.
The council has until the May 10 budget public hearing to make adjustments and amendments to the $4.9 m illion municipal budget.
A budget committee meeting is set for 9 a.m. to noon April 23 at borough hall.
If adopted as it is now, the municipal tax rate would increase by 6.4 cents to 85 cents per $100 evaluation.
The borough needs about $201,723 more in local taxes than it did last year, according to Mayor John J. Merla.
“Please write or call. I ’ll meet with any one to talk about the budget. I want all residents to know..,” he said.
The proposed budget is an increase of about $300,000 over last year’s $4.6 million spending plan.
Expenditures are going up and the value of Keyport’s ratables has decreased by $4 million in two years.
Councilman Kevin Graham said the ratables reduction is mainly from the large number of tax assessment appeals.
Graham added that the budget was introduced right at the state’s cap on increases so that the borough could apply for discretionary state aid.
“We want to make sure we have
enough money to get through the year,” he said.
“I look in the paper and see that other communities are not having luck preparing the budget,” Merla said. “My goal is to stabilize taxes. Last year, the taxes went up only one cent. It’s not all that bad. We’ve...had no layoffs.”
Salaries are one of the increases, going up by $90,000 because of the most recent contract negotiations.
A sum of $100,000 was included to cover this past winter’s snow and ice removal costs.
“The council also has to deal with the prior year’s bills of $95,000, and a big portion is for garbage collection costs,” Merla noted.
At the end of the year, the borough found itself still paying outstanding bills from 1993. In addition to extra garbage costs, the $95,000 included insurance and utility costs.
“We couldn’t anticipate a $29,000 insurance bill,” Merla said.
Merla said he was displeased with the $95,000 in deferred charges.
Approximately $340,000 of surplus is being applied to the 1994 budget, which leaves $146,000 in that account. If it weren’t for the surplus, Merla noted, the tax rate would have increased by about 17 cents.
The reserve for uncollected taxes has increased by $26,000 over last year because the borough’s collection rate fell last year.

HOLM DEL — According to Monmouth County Prosecutor John Kaye, Paul Chenet volunteered as a Bingo aide, ingratiated himself with parents and staff, was hired as the school’s bookkeeper and then proceeded to steal more than $200,000 from St. John Vianney High School.
Chenet, 47, was indicted by a Monmouth County grand jury last week on theft and burglary charges.
Authorities have been looking for Chenet, whose last known address is Westminster Drive in Colts Neck, Kaye said, since he was recorded on a videotape camera stealing money out of a vault at the high school last October.
According to Kaye, Chenet had been fired from his position as a bookkeeper at St. John’s a year ago after school officials noticed irregularities.
The school always ran in the black, Kaye said, but after Chenet’s first year in the job, St. John’s was $117,000 in the red. After Chenet’s second year it was $128,000 in the red, according to Kaye.
“All the finances of the school were funneled through Chenet with little or no oversight,” Kaye explained.
According to Holmdel Police Department Detective Louis Torres, Chenet took keys from the school after he was fired. School officials noticed that bingo money that had been kept in a safe, cafeteria money and other cash was missing.
Alerted to the missing money, Holmdel police then set up a hidden video camera and, police said, on Oct. 14 Chenet was seen stealing money out of a vault.
An audit is still in progress, says Torres, to determine exactly how Chenet allegedly stole the more than $200,000.
According to Kaye, Chenet had previously pleaded guilty to a federal charge of wire fraud for diverting more than $1 million in funds from MacMillan Publishing Co. in Manhattan, where he was assistant treasurer. Chenet was on parole at the time he came to work for St. John Vianney, in 1990.
Chenet is described as white, weighing about 200 pounds with a medium build. He has short brown hair and gray eyes.
Kaye commended Torres and the Holmdel police for doing “a great job” in their investigation.

PRINCIPAL AND PAL — After 10 years, Phyllis Shore, the lively principal of the Strathmore Elementary School in Aberdeen Township, is retiring.

_________ BY LAUREN JAEGER_________
S ta ff W r ite r
Children often see th sir school principal is as a foreboding authority figure, but on a sunny day Phyllis Shore can be seen outside jumping rope with her pupils.
And as she walks the halls o f the Strathmore Elementary School in Aberdeen, the youngsters don’t shrink away as she passes. Many shyly wave hello from their classrooms.
The popu la r p r in c ip a l o f the Strathmore School will retire in June after 10 years in the post.
She has spent almost her whole life in education, she said. Before arriving at Strathmore as a principal, Shore worked in the Union Beach district as be head of the basic skills program, and before that, she taught kindergarten to sixth grades in the New York City Schools system.
Shore noted that her average day as a principal is always a challenge with its own ups and downs.
“It’s an exciting day, every day,” she said during a recent interview.
“Yesterday, for instance, the school opens and the buses arrive. There is kindergarten registration, and the p ace was a zoo. I had a couple of parent conferences, and then I had to interview people for a cafeteria aide positions. I walked through the building and made observations and evaluations, and met with the (Parent-Teacher Organization) people for planning Grandparents Day on the 26tli.”
‘There are directions to the custodians and to the secretaries and rejiorts to write,” she added. “I was giving medication, four children went home sick, anc it was raining outside.”
W hen Shore started her job, there weren’t quite as many duties.
For instance, she noted, there are many more state-mandated projects today, and at that time the schools did not have to teach about drugs and child abuse.
“Years back, we didn’t nave as many
divorced parents or one- parent families,” Shore added.
Although she has to handle serious problems and conflicts, Shore’s job has a lighthearted side.
“I get phone calls like, ‘Why is the pizza cold?’ or ‘Why was the ice :ream soft?’,” she said with a laush. “Or. ‘ ‘
favorite cards have been professionally framed and matted in a collage that hangs over her desk.
“I ’ve had two marriage proposals,” she noted, but quickly added that they came from grade-school boys. “There is a lot of
affection from the kindergarten to second- grade children. And the staff here is very warm.”
The youngsters’ comments about Shore verify her assessment.
“She helps out a lot, to make sure that the lines are straight and the shoes are tied,” said Jeremy Pollack of the second grade.
“She’s a good principal,” said Ian Massas, also of the second grade. “She makes sure that we obey the rules and do not get into trouble.”
Shore is also proud of her student council, developed last year with two elected
representatives each from the fourth, fifth and sixth grades.
In the Sp • tlight
“They keep minutes and write letters,” she said. “Their biggest problem is the toilet
paper in the school They want the two- to three-ply brands.”
In addition, Shore, who has a special interest in the gifted and talented children,
has encouraged creative writing and creative bulletin boards, the annual science and social studies fair, school spirit day which features the Strathmore mascot, Hootmore the Owl.
Manners are another priority.“There’s a big stress here on saying
‘please’ and ‘thank you,’ although I don’t think I will ever get the children to wipe their feet on the mat,” she noted.
Overall, the children are very well behaved, she noted.
Out o f about 500 children, only 15 would be considered to have behavior problems, Shore said.
“That’s excellent,” she added.O f course, there are the stressful
moments, such as handing out the “Reduction in Force” notices to the staff and suspending children from school when they make trouble.
has been a positive experience, especially when Shore acts as a substitute nurse.
“Children are more accustomed to a
female when they are ill,” she said. “The child’s head hurts, they throw up, fall, scrape a knee. Academically, it doesn’t make a difference, though.”
One child agreed that Shore had a caring nature.
“If anyone has a problem, they can go right to her,” said Ryan Gregg of the second grade. “When I was in the first grade, some boys were teasing me. She solved the problem.”
“She takes care of people,” said Bryan Santos, a kindergarten pupil.
“I once saw her break up a fight,” said
Adam Stembach, also in kindergarten. “She
sent one person to the nurse.”Kindergarten teacher Ann Botti, said
Shore is generous.“She tries to compliment and supple
ment lessons and goes out of her way for you, totally on her own,” Botti noted. “She’s very, very visible in a positive way. She makes sure you don’t want to see her only when something is wrong. She does listen, and that is a very important part of being an administrator.”
Having been in the district for a long time, Shore said it is “wonderful to see the
children grow up. It is wonderful to see them wave hello as I walk through the halls. A lot of them come to speak to me if they’ve unhappy with something.”
During the interview, Shore took the reporter down the halls, stopped to visit the classrooms and show off their projects. One stop is to second-grade teacher Linda Grant’s room, where the children are learning about caterpillars. Enclosed in an insect container are five, live caterpillars.
Another stop is at the Reading Recovery room of Sue Quinn, where a student is read
ing.“A program can be great but you need a
great teacher to do it,” Shore said.Now, with the school days almost
behind her, Shore is looking forward to
retirement.She will “go back to art and sculpting
and drawing.”Shore will also go to stay at her home in
Woodstock, N.Y., eight months out of the year. In addition, she plans to practice her piano; she has been taking piano lessons for
two years.Shore, who loves to go to antique shows
and flea markets, will also embark on an
antiques course.“Every teacher is a student,” she said. “I
love to learn.”
child not invited to the birthday party?’”“I say, ‘I don’t know, but I wasn’t invit
ed to the birthday party either.’” she said.
There are some touching moments that make the principal happy. She loves to get valentines each year, for instance. Her
“Then there is the loss of (state) funds, and you can’t do (as many) things for the children,” she added. “But the P.T.O. has been generous, and they’ve picked up trip costs.”

W here the jobs areContinued from page 1
Ironically, despite massive layoffs at AT&T, the area with the greatest job growth last year was communications and
utilities. Jobs in this sector of the economy increased by a whopping 60 percent,
Coleman said.Other areas that experienced signifi
cant jumps in job growth were transportation, with a 9.9 percent increase, and agriculture and mining, which increased
by 8.6 percent.Personnel professionals such as Larry
Radzely, who owns the Adel Lawrence agency in Aberdeen, concur that oppor
tunities in the computer industry are also
expanding.Other businesses that career counselors
believe are bouncing back, and beginning to hire, include law firms, health care concerns, and civil and environmental engi
neering companies.The jump in jobs has also been fueled
by the willingness of companies to hire temporary help, according to personnel professionals such as Barbara Davis, who runs a job placement agency in Red Bank.
According to Davis, whose agency specializes in placing support personnel such as executive secretaries and assis
tants as well as programmers, temporary job placements are up 33 percent over last
year.Explains Maryann M aglione, who
owns Visions in Personnel in Aberdeen, companies have been more cautious since the recession. When they get busy they use temporaries to fill the gaps.
Companies also like the idea o f not having to pay for health insurance or other expenses related to permanent employees.
The latest wrinkle in the trend to hiring temporary help, says Davis, is the “temp
to perm” placement.Even if a company wants to hire some
one in a permanent capacity, explains Davis, they like the idea of seeing how
well an employee fits first.Prospective employees like the idea
too.Adriana Alarcon, who recently moved
from New York City to Holmdel, took a temp-to-perm job as a secretary for a mutual fund company in Eatontown.
Alarcon, who worked for a big name investment adviser in Manhattan, says she wanted to make sure that the new job was suitable and that she would be comfortable with the people she was working
with.She was comfortable and, when her
employer offered her the position on a permanent basis two weeks ago, she was
delighted.
ITO SP EA K OUTCall 1-800-390-NEWS
(6397)
Bill Saloukas, the head of the Broad Waverly agency in Red Bank, describes the temp-to-perm trend as a variation of “try before you buy.”
He says that companies are also hiring executives in a temporary capacity to oversee a specific short-term project, as an
example.Mike Unger, owner of Sales Consul
tants of Monmouth County in Red Bank, says that half of the executives hired as temps are kept by the company. Unger believes that the trend for this type of hiring will continue and that the hiring picture, in general, will stay on its upward course as long as interest rates stabilize and the construction industry improves.
The Labor Department’s Ehrenhalt
says that whether the positive employment outlook w ill continue in M onm outh County depends on such factors as the quality of the infrastructure, the skill level of the work force and the relative burden of tax rates and government regulation.

In a new wave of expansion, WBJB (90.5 FM), the public radio station broadcast from Brookdale Community College, is introducing a dozen programs to its format, including 10 shows distributed
by National Public Radio.
“We wanted to introduce our listeners to programming not available in our area,” said station manager Cheryl Cummings.
It is expected that the shows will also broaden the appeal of the station, which touts itself as offering “jazz and more on the Jersey Shore.”
The new NPR shows, available through a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, are cultural in nature, says Cummings. Noted jazz musician Branford Marsalis will host “Jazz Set” on Mondays from noon to 1 p.m., featuring live performances and exclusive shows recorded around the world. “Club Del Sol,” offering the rhythms of the Americas from rock
salsa fusion to Cubop and hosted by jazz flutist Dave Valentin, will be broadcast on Thursdays from noon to 1 p.m.
Tom and Ray Magliozzi, known as the Marx brothers of the auto shop, will offer their musings on buying, selling and repairing cars on Saturdays at 3 p.m.
Other new shows include “Thistle and Shamrock,” featuring Celtic music and folklore; “Blues Stage,” with live blues from clubs and festivals around the country; and “Afropop Worldwide,” featuring the best contemporary music of Africa, the West Indies and Americas.
Founded in 1975, WBJB is a professionally run, public radio station that relies on student involvement, grants and community volunteers for its 18-hour daily schedule. The new shows will take up 12 hours of WBJB’s total weekly air time of 186 hours.
The station’s other programming includes sports broadcasts, public affairs shows, telecourses, foreign language instruction, local interviews and news reports. Unlike many other college radio stations, Cummings says, WBJB is “real radio.”

join W BJB repertoire“Over Christmas break, in ungodly
weather, we do not go off the air,” she says.
“That’s real radio.”During the successive storms of last
winter, students, teachers and other listeners could tune in, find out that school was closed, and roll over and go back to sleep. WBJB staffers had no such luxury — the
shows had to go on.“We have a responsibility to serving
the needs of our community in both music and public affairs program m ing ,”
Cummings says.Cummings has a staff of five full-time
professionals and says the students are
“folded into the regular operation. They are
involved in day-to-day operations and must adhere to formats, clocks and local needs.”
Rob Gerleit, a Brookdale communications student from Sayreville, calls his experience as a station disc jockey a “great opportunity. I can learn about the
radio business in class and then experience what’s it’s like first hand.”
Gerleit is at the mike from noon to 4 .
p.m. on Fridays.Cummings hopes that the new pro
grams have the right mix to bring more
listeners on board.“We don’t want to be all things to all
listeners,” she says, “but we don’t want to be the best-kept secret anymore either.”

Do you think you have the potential to be the next Stephen King? Or perhaps the next Isaac Asimov? If so, or if you just enjoy writing horror, science fiction, or related genres, you might consider joining the Garden State Horror Writers.
The organization is a sort of support group for published writers and writers who aspire to be published. According to Peter Dobrzynski, president of G.S. Horror Writers, the group’s monthly meetings feature guest speakers from the publishing industry. Successfully published professional writers frequently appear at meetings.
The professional writers give members of the group tips on writing mechanics, while publishers give advice on how to break into the field. Horror Writers also provides a cri
tique service for members.Writers such as John Platt of Freehold Township, who functions as editor of the
group’s monthly newsletter, find that their attendance and participation at the Horror
Writers is beneficial to their writing success.Platt says he finds getting together with fellow writers “inspires” him to write. He
adds that formal and informal advice from the group has really helped his writing and adds, “A month doesn’t go by without hearing about someone else from the group who
has been published.”Platt, who concentrates on supernatural writing and New Age science fiction, said he
won second place in a major short story contest. He attributes this success to the group’s
influence.For more information about the Horror Writers, call (908) 583-8786 or write to:

M IDDLETOW N — For the second year in a row, the township has been commended by the county Board o f Recreation Commissioner s.
This year the township received an
Achievement Award for Open Space Planning for a 48-acre planned development in the Chapel Hill area which will preserve approximately 70 percent of the tract as farmland and open space.
The award was present ed jointly to the township and to the developer, Spatial Design Inc., Middletown.
Last year the township won an award in the small park category for its Port M onm outh Waterfron: Park, which includes a fishing pier J.nd observation
deck.The Open Space award was presented
at the 25th annual Park and Recreation
Dinner, held March 30 in -ong Branch.Two other Achievement Awards for
Open Space Planning were awarded, one to the Monmouth County Planning Board
for the Bayshore Trail System Design Manual, and the other to Tinton Falls for a green way plan which links the Swimming R iver Natural Area, the T inton Falls Historic District and the Falls via a stream corridor.
The Middletown development, called Chaquasitt, will include 27 houses in a cluster design. Chaquasitt is a Lenni- Lenape word meaning “Land o f Paradise,” according to developer Bob O'Neill.
A historic house, situated on part of the tract, is considered a kej element of the Chapel Hill Historic District.
Township Planning Director Tony Mercantante said the developer originally
wanted to use 100 percent of the tract, constructing large homes on two- and three-acre lots.
Instead the Planning Board, with assistance from the Landmarks Commission, encouraged what is known as a perfor
mance zoning development. The Landmarks Commission was asked to participate in the review process because a
major portion of the tract is in the Chapel
H ill Historic District.Besides preserving open space, the
new plan eliminated one of two proposed new roadways, said Mercantante.
“It’s a win-win situation for everyone,” Mercantante said at last week’s committee meeting, explaining the project. A historic district and open space are preserved and the developer got to build more houses
than originally planned, he noted.The property is located along Kings
Highway East. From the road, all that will be visible of the development will be roof

Brookdale offers option to ‘pink-collar’ careers

Go WEST, young woman.
That is the direction leading to a
career in science and technology, thanks
to a collaboration between the New
Jersey Ins titu te o f T echno logy in
Newark and Brookdale C om m un ity
College announced last week.
The N JIT ’s Women in Engineering,
Science and Technology (W EST) pro
gram has chosen Brookdale as a partner
in the effort that is focused on recruiting
women into science and technology
studies.
White males, according to Dr. Susan
Cavin, WEST project director at NJIT,
make up about 47 percent o f the US
workforce, but more than 80 percent of
the scientists and engineers.
“This is largely due to an unfortu
nate combination of an adverse class
room environment, a lack o f female
role models, ineffective teaching meth
ods and plain old sex discrimination,”
she says.
The ultimate goal of the WEST pro
gram is to increase the num ber o f
fem ale com m unity college students
transferring to four-year colleges to pur
sue majors in science, engineering and
technology by 10 percent each year.
In selecting Brookdale as an “incu
bator” site, NJIT factored in the strong
articulation agreement already in place
between the two co lleges and the
respectable number o f women faculty
in the math/science staff at Brookdale.
It was also influenced by the strong
support of the administration and facul
ty for the project.
To address the lack o f role models
for female students in the areas of sci
ence and techno logy , W E S T has
recruited two Brookdale faculty mem
bers — Elaine Klett, assistant professor
o f m athem atics, and Barbara Tozzi,
math instructor — to act as mentors to
interested women students.
Explains Karen Abramski, director
o f upper leve l a rt ic u la tio n and
Brookdale liaison to the W EST pro
gram, the mentoring model was imple
m ented successfu lly at M idd le sex
County College last year.
A no ther feature o f the program ,
Abramski says, w ill be a Career Day, at
which women can learn about alterna
tives to “p ink co llar” careers in the
humanities and social sciences.
The W EST program is financed by a
grant from the N a tio n a l Science
Foundation.

Program s expanded at W om en’s Center

When the Women’s Center of Monmouth County sees a need, it tries to answer it.
During the past two years, that has meant expanding its therapy programs
beyond women to include the entire fami
ly-
The new Family Interven:ion Program offers four specialized programs: W omen’ s Therapy Groups for abused women; Alternatives to Abuse, a therapy
program for men; and Children and Parenting Therapy group programs.
What this does, said Judy Kabus, di
rector of clinical services at he center, is make available specialized services for women, men and children of all ages who are affected by domestic violence, either
emotional, physical or sexual.
Group therapy is beneficial, Kabus said, because it enables participants to “see that they’re not alone.”
For instance, the men’s therapy group is valuable because it enables men to talk with other men who have the same problem, said Janet Gemenden, a :o-facilitator
of the men’s Alternatives to Abuse program.
They and Karen Gillespie, who facilitates the children’s therapy program, talked last week about the center’s expanded services.
The Women’s Center, founded in 1976 and formerly known as the W om en’ s Resource and Survival Center, is a nonprofit organization that provides shelter, outpatient counseling and advocacy for abused women and their children.
Other specialized services for women are a rape care program, crisis hotline and substance abuse treatment.
The center’s outpatient counseling facility is located at Bethany Commons, 1 Bethany Road, Hazlet
The new Family Intervention Program is a part of the center’s abuse prevention services. Kabus said repeated calls from high schools have indicated a need to educate high school students about dating violence.
The center plans to start a pilot program at a couple of schools this spring.
The program aims to reach young people who are likely to become the adult vic
tims and batterers, Kabus said.
She said she has received calls from teachers asking how to deal with the problem of boys becoming overly possessive of their girlfriends and various forms of abuse.
A major part of the high school program will be education, Gemenden said, teaching young people about the causes of domestic violence and offering services.
Kabus believes strongly that people can change. “All they have to do is want
to,” she said.
The men’ s program, which started about two years ago and meets in Union Beach, provides treatment for men who have problems dealing w ith anger, Gemenden explained.
Men who abuse their mates, wives or girlfriends, either emotionally, physically or sexually, are “frequently reported to have a ‘short fuse’ when dealing with feelings of anger,” according to a program
introduction.
W'hat happens, said Gemenden, is this anger can ruin “their life or their partner’s life.”
The men’s programs meets two hours weekly for 18 weeks. Participants can continue if they wish.
The program addresses several is
sues, including anger management techniques, communication skills, values and beliefs, power and control in relations,
legal aspects of domestic violence, and alcohol/drug connections.
“I believe it makes a difference,” said
Gemenden.
The Children’s and Parenting Therapy Groups, two distinct groups that meet simultaneously but separately, were started about a year ago and recently were expanded to include older children.
They meet for 10-week sessions in
Keyport.
The children’s groups are divided into three age categories: 6-9, 10-13 and 1418.
These groups, which meet for one and one half hour sessions scheduled between 4 and 7:30 p.m., depending on the age group, are for fam ilies with children where parenting has been interrupted by a problem, said Karen Gillespie, who facilitates the children’s groups.
“Usually there is some kind of crisis,”
she said.
The children’s groups provide a sup
portive environment for the children to safely explore their feelings and learn ways to cope with them.
They also deal with self-esteem, family “systems” and ways to communicate better with parents or guardians.
The parenting group addresses issues of parental responsibility, talking with children, healthy discipline, coping with emotion and self-esteem.
Promoting self-esteem is a key ingredient in all the programs. Victims suffer low self-esteem and so do abusers, Kabus said.

KEYPORT — John Wadington, the
borough administrator and chief financial
officer, is resigning June 11 after serving for two years.
The council had asked him to resign,
and he relented April 12.
Mayor John J. Merla said he did not
want to comment as to why Wadington was asked to resign.
A cco rd ing to C o unc ilm an Kevin
Graham, the administrator’s work was not
done well.
“Things that were supposed to have
been taken care of weren’t being taken
care of,” Graham said.
Wadington said he believes that things
have only improved since he’s taken over.
For instance, be said when he came in, there was only $74,000 in surplus. This
became $46,000 by the end of 1992, and
went up to more than $539,000 by the end of 1993.
“I ’ve put positive things in place,” Wadington said.
He said that the bookkeeping is much
better than it was before he arrived, and
the borough has managed to keep its good bond rating.
“We did not over-expend last year,” he
added. “But if you get bills you can’t han
dle, you put it in as deferred charges for the following year.”
There were problems, though, such as
a late payment to the Bayshore Regional
Sewerage Authority. The bill, which was for $200,000, was late by about a day and cost Keyport $3,200 in interest.

Relief of nagging heel pain can now be effectively treated thanks to a new surgery that allows same day walking and quick return to full activity. 'This innovative fresh technique for the common heel spur syndrome is a tremendous new tool for an age old problem", states Doctor Patrick Caputo, a Hazlet podiatrist and podiatry chairman at Riverview Medical Center.
An estimated ten millon Americans suffer from nagging heel pain! The pain is worse the first few steps in the morning or after getting up from a long car ride or period of rest. It may decrease after you walk a while, but returns with prolonged activity. This is because the ligament (planter fascia) gets tight and pulls away from the heel bone or heelspur causing pain and difficulty walkinq.
"Probably 90% of these patients are helped without surgery by use of custom molded shoe inserts (orthotics), cortisone injections and physical therapy" states Dr. Caputo. "But the 10% that don't respond to these methods means that one million patients are candidates for new procedure".
In the old days, doctors often performed surgery underGeneral Anesthesia to remove the heel spur. This typically meant crutches and disability of 3-4 months.
But with the new procedure, called Endoscopic Plantar Fasciotomy, a mini-TV camera is inserted thru a 1/4“ incision on one side of the heel and a small surgical device is used through a tiny incision from the other side. The camera is similar to the Knee Arthroscopy instruments that have revolutionized knee surgery. The patient walks the same day and may return to work in 1 week, 3-4 weeks if they do a lot of standing. The benefit is less pain and a quick return to an active and healthy lifestyle.
"We are lucky in our community that both Bayshore Community Hospital and Riverview Medical Center have this modern equipment so that doctors can help their patients," adds Dr. Caputo who performs this technique at both local hospitals.
Dr. Caputo has been practicing in Hazlet for 10 years and is Board Certified in Foot Surgery by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery and been awarded the highest Fellowship in the American college of Foot Surgeons. If you have heel pain or know of someone who may be helped by Dr. Caputo call 739-3230 for an appointment or more information.

w il l re s ig n“It was mailed during a bad snow
storm on Jan. 26 or 27," Wadington noted “It did not arrive there until Feb. 1.”
Graham, however, said that
Wadington had received a phone call the
day the bill was due.“Some one could have driven that day
to Union Beach (where the Bayshore
Regional Sewerage Authority is located)
and paid the bill that day. The office is 13
minutes away from borough h a ll,”
Graham said.Another time, a long distance tele
phone bill was late, Wadington noted, and service was briefly disrupted in March.
“I work very carefully not to create an
overexpenditure, and there were those
1993 bills,” he noted.
Graham said that the phone bill should
have been a priority.
And, Graham added, “in March we
were paying electric bills from November and December.
Also, a $15,000 check in borough
funds submitted to the Keyport Public
Library in August was carelessly lost, Graham claimed.
“As of March, the library treasurer
said she never received it. It wasn’ t
brought to Mr. Wadington’s attention,”
Graham said.
But Wadington added that even while
he was sick in the hospital in July 1992,
recuperating from an infected spider bite,
he got daily visits from employees.
‘I kept in touch with the office every
day by phone,” he said. “My leg blew up
like a balloon and I was hooked up to IV ’s for a long time.”
“I don’t see how I could come to work
but I did work while I was there and I
looked over the documents,” he said.
M erla said tha t there were some
financial problems but he said he would not criticize Wadington.
“He took on a mess in 1992, and we
were fortunate to have someone like him
w ith his background and managerial skills,” Merla said.
“We were paying 1991 b ills in February, but you can’t blame that on
him,” Merla added. “There is no finger pointing.”
Wadington was appointed to replace
former Administrator John J. Kennedy,
who has since filed a lawsuit against the borough for wrongful termination.
“I can’t comment on the litigation,” Merla said.
Kennedy is currently working as the
Hightstown administrator.
A search will begin for Wadington’s
replacement upon his retirement.

Th e never-end ing game
A few weeks ago, I . took my youngest son shopping with me, leaving my husband and nine-
year-old son to fend for themselves. Several hours later, we arrived home to
find my husband and son, in the exact same spot on the floor as when we left, playing Nintendo.
My younger son, who I thought had a fun-filled day with me, took one look at the situation and blurted at my husband, “Hey, how come he got to stay home and play video games all day, and I got stuck with mom?”
My husband, a fair and resourceful man, suggested he choose a game we
could all play. What a nice idea, I thought, we could take a break from this electronic madness for a good, old-fashioned board

son, and that was the beginning of the longest game in the history of mankind. The cannon, the car, the ship and the iron; three guesses which piece was mine.
Monopoly has been around since the Mesozoic Era, and no household in America is complete without it. There is a very good reason, however, why most families only play it once a decade. Even the short version of the game usually takes about 12 hours, and the person who owns Boardwalk property (never me) turns into
a vicious, greedy monger who creates grudges that last for weeks and destroy relationships. I quickly discovered that this group I was playing with, my beloved family, was no exception.
My husband ruthlessly bought every piece of property he landed on, and would then try to convince us to trade with him by licking the real estate card and plastering it to his forehead.
Whenever it was my youngest son’s
turn, he would “accidentally” roll the dice off the table and under the refrigerator, or m istakenly knock the board with his elbowe. Fortunately for me, it was simple setting my properties back up, since I didn’t own any.
Does anyone actually ever finish a game of Monopoly? My son tells me that Nintendo has an electronic Monopoly game that can go on for days.
Forgive me if I ’m not enthusiastic.I contemplated the amount of things I
would have accomplished instead of playing this game:
I could drive half-way to Florida, cook a Thanksgiving turkey and still have time left over to write this column.
You’ll have to excuse me now because I have to cut this short. With my next roll of the dice, Fm pretty sure I can get out of
jail.

Monmouth County has
been helping women in

domestic violence, for 17 years,

Approximately two years ago it
expanded its services to provide
therapy for men who abuse
women, to teach them to control
their anger and find “Alternatives

Then about a year ago, the cen

family.
And now, always looking to fill
a need, they plan to reach out to the
next generation of victims and
abusers, high school students
involved with dating violence.
While that may be a new term to
many, it exists, according to the
center’s counselors. They know
because they receive telephone
calls from high school staff mem
bers wanting to know how to deal
with the problem.
The high school program is in
the planning stages, but a pilot pro
gram is expected to get off the
ground this year.
It will offer education and ser
vices to help youngsters break the
pattern before their dating violence
turns into domestic violence.
The sooner we can help people
learn to live without violence, the
better.
It’s sad to think that dating vio
lence affects youngsters not yet out
of high school. But it’s good to
know that the Women’s Center is
there to help.
Teachers deserve a fair contr act
As a teacher in the Keyport Central School, I believe the parents and other residents of this community do not understand why teachers are wearing buttons and red T-shirts, demonstrating before the start of school and other events, and curtailing voluntary activities. I know there are questions in the community concerning these activities
The students and parents of Keyport have come to count on us to be there when they need us. We have made it our habit to do just that. We have not come in early, stayed late, supervised study classes, organized homework groups, or provided
any of the other extra services our parents
and students have come to count on for extra monetary compensation. We have done it because our students need and
look for these services from us.However, since our last contract ex
pired at the end of June, the Board of Ed
ucation has turned deaf ears on our pleas for a reasonable contract. This board knows, as well as our children and their families, that we would r ot deny to these children the services they have come to depend on and/or look fo rward to benefit
ing from.Your tax money was allocated to pro
vide us with reasonable raises, but these same monies are being held captive and probably earning substantial amounts of interest by the Keyport Board of Education. After nine months of being ignored, we had to do something. If you agree that we are entitled to a fair contract, if you agree that we have been patient, and if you agree with our desire to going back to “being there” for our students and parents, let your elected Board of Education know
it. They must listen to you. If not at their public meetings, on their telephones, or through the mail, let them know on Election Day by picking candidates who care for education and the future of our chil
dren.ELLEN V. CHRETIEN

Road project not worth the m oney
An open letter to Holmdel Township
Committee.In a recent newspaper article, I read of
your intent to widen portions of Telegraph Hill Road and to install terraced masonry
walls as well.Since most o f you are comparative
newcomers to the Township Committee, _,you may be unaware that a number of
years ago, a referendum was held on this very subject — asking whether or not Telegraph Hill Road should be widened.
The result of that binding referendum, which reflected the feelings of the community, indicated that we preferred to preserve the bucolic character of that winding road by leaving it in its present state.
I am not aware of another referendum having taken place to change or alter any part of Telegraph H ill Road, much less address the proposed installation of ma
sonry walls.Your concern to make the road safer is
noted. However, if the intent of this project is for that purpose alone, wouldn’t the same thing be accomplished and far fewer
dollars spent, by simply posting signs
lowering the speed limit?People speed on that road right now.
Making the road wider will only encour
age them to go faster. I cannot see how that will make the road safer.
What is abundantly clear if you proceed, is that the aforementioned binding referendum will have been circumvented, thereby negating the specific wishes of the electorate; the terraced masonry walls, with or without special landscaping, will certainly impinge upon the road’s character — and the road still will not be any
safer.
If you let me look at your books, I can probably show you at least a dozen other places where a half million dollars can be more efficiently utilized.
In light of the above, I strongly urge you to reconsider your decision to go forward with this needless and expensive
project.EMILY UGLESICH

Good Samaritans com e to rescue
On March 11 at 10:30 p.m., I was driving home from a friend’ s house via
Tennant Road. I lost control of my truck when I skidded on an icy curve and it flipped over. I was shaken, cold and screaming for help. Two people, named Bob and Tina, stopped and stayed with me until help arrived and freed me from the truck. I do not know their last names or where they live, but Bob and Tina — I hope you are reading this. Thank you for being there for me. I was frightened and you really made a difference. You are
both two very good Samaritans!

Much has been written concerning the past and present manpower problems within the Aberdeen Township Police Department, some of which has been opinion of a citizenry which has legitimate concerns and complaints.
Not having an adequate police presence which actively patrols and aggressively responds leaves a community with serious doubts about those who are sworn to protect and serve.
I and others in the past have brought specific incidents of what some feel is inadequate response by some department personnel to the township’s attention.
We told about eyewitness accounts on incidents where that official response was minimal or non-existent.
A fter my own report to Mayor Murphy, I was told that the three incidents I reported were “unsubstantiated.”
What was “unsubstantiated” was witnessed by a total of 11 residents.
As a former police officer, I know the pressures of the job can get to some, which can affect the response. Police deal with a public whose response quite often is, “I pay your salary.”
This exact saying was said to me more than once. At that time, I laughed it off. However, I was wrong. Those officers who do not respond with official action within our communities, who far too often give verbal warnings, are contributing to a community which will be thought of as an easy mark — a community which has little or no effective enforcement.
I recently read, in total, the Police Merger Study, initiated by the communities of Aberdeen Township and Matawan, which was enlightening.
Within the 100 plus pages, was information supplied to the consultant group concerning all aspects of the department, manpower, salaries, benefits, numbers on major offenses, etc.
I was disturbed by many facts on costs incurred by our department; which our township officials, our mayor, manager and chief of police need to explain to the com m unity , and those not fortunate enough to read the study.
You can go to the township officials, and for a $25 fee, attain your own personal copy.
Listed in the pages was information we, the tax-paying public, were totally unaware of.
At a time of rising crime within sections of Aberdeen Township is growing at an alarming pace, I will ask the mayor and council to explain to me the following:
Why did the police department have overtime expenditures of almost half a million dollars between 1988 and 1992, when an average of 3,255 hours had to be filled at the overtime rate, every year since 1988.
There is a certain amount of normal overtime attributed to a police department, however, these averages could have
hired and maintained two or three more police officers, and still leave monies for normal overtime requirements.
The average of 3,255 hours could have
been filled in part by an additional officer .or officers working a 40-hour work week, without excessive overtime hours, being implemented.
A police department that annually costs the com m unities it serves $2,500,000, according to the merger study, answers on the average of 1.2 calls an hour and issues 6.5 traffic summonses daily. Is this cost-effective or productive?
When the outcry from the community and its representatives, or as our mayor calls us, “demonstrators,” is ignored time after time, it does give us “demonstrators”
some satisfaction that we were right!

t r e a t e d u n f a i r l y
Keyport teachers have been working without a contract since July 1, 1993. For most of the year we have quietly done our jobs, teaching and then spending many additional hours planning and evaluating our student’s work.
It angers me that the Keyport Board of Education seems to get pleasure from taking advantage of the dedicated nature of their teachers.
I am baffled by the anti-teacher atti
tude of Keyport Board of Education. This attitude seems to be a legacy handed down from board to board.
I first noticed it when I moved to Keyport nearly 30 years ago, long before I started teaching here.
Over the years, the town and the school system have continued to improve. Improvement in the schools would be impossible without the teachers.
Yet, some members of the Board of Education give the ludicrous impression that they wish all the teachers would go away — then they wouldn’t have to spend any money to have good schools.

The Salvation Army would like to thank the people of New Jersey for their
generous support during the recent Durham Woods apartment complex fire in Edison, the Salvation Army was immediately on the scene providing coffee, food and cold drinks to victims, emergency workers and police personnel.
Our mobile disaster canteens remained on the scene for seven days rendering 153 consecutive hours dispensing over 26,500 meals and beverages. A total of 67 disaster service volunteers provided 820 hours of service working 12-hour shifts.
At our distribution site in Edison at the Frigidaire Company, over 600 volunteer hours were spent collecting, sorting and distributing donated items. Cars lined up to unload bags and boxes o f donated items to help their neighbors in need. Approximately 156 displaced families received food, clothing, shoes and toys. Vouchers for prescriptions, food items at Shoprite and clothing at Bradlees and K- Mart were also distributed.
The Salvation Army also played an
important role at the Disaster Assistance Center, (DAC) counseling the victims of the fire as they begin the process of rebuilding their lives.
None of this could have been accomplished without the generous support of the people of New Jersey.
I again say thank you for helping The
Salvation Army to make a difference in the lives of others. Your continued support is greatly appreciated.

Sewage plant case should reopen
Under the guidance and direction of then Mayor Ernest Cote, the previous Holmdel Township Committee took legal action against the NJ Department of Environmental Protection and Energy for its granting of a discharge permit to Chase Manhattan’s sewage treatment plant.
(The Chase Manhattan project received preliminary approval from the Township Planning Board in 1987 for l . 2 million square feet of office space and a sewage treatment plant that would discharge to ground water).
In late 1992, Mayor Cote and then Committeeman Gary Aumiller, outvoted Committeeman Malcolm Gropper to hire professional help (Dan Raviv Associates) to review the scientific data submitted during the Chase Manhattan public hearing process at the state and municipal levels regarding the sewage treatment plant. Raviv Associates was also instructed to look further at the consequential impacts other sewage treatment plants would have on the Holm del watershed for the Swimming River Reservoir.
The Chase plant then served as a model for the sewage plants of other pending developments, GRC and Westor corporations’ additional l .3 million square feet of office space.
Raviv’s analysis revealed some startling conclusions affecting private well owners in Holmdel and long-term concerns for those who depend on water from NJ American and Shorelands Water companies. .
1. During public hearings held at the state and the Holmdel Planning Board level, applicant Chase Manhattan’s testimony clearly indicated that the sewage discharge would not exceed state mandated levels for volume and pollutants. Raviv’s analysis and review concluded Chase’s calculations not only did not meet state standards for pollutant discharge, but exceeded the quantity testified to; and was at least 10 times greater than the 11,000 gallons Chase claimed would be dispersed to ground water daily, which is not in compliance with state standards.
2. Raviv’s report also stated that it was inevitable that ground water would be threatened with pollution from the Chase sewage discharge.
3. There are at least 30 homes dependent on well water in this area of Holmdel.
4. Ground water ultimately outcrops and becomes part of the surface water system, in this case the water sources of the Swimming River Reservoir supplying NJ American and Shorelands Water compa
nies.
5. The public hearings held by the state and Holmdel Planning Board were flawed in that the public had only erroneous testimony to review by the applicant, Chase Manhattan, and to comment on. The public hearings should be reopened to afford every resident, especially the private well owners, their right to comment on the true facts.
6. At the April 11 Holmdel Township committee meeting, I requested to have the aforementioned statements made part of the public record. I stated further, that every well owner potentially affected by the Chase sewage plant should be in
formed of the Raviv report and its findings by the Township Committee.
As a past elected offic ia l and as a Holmdel resident and taxpayer dependent on well water, I commend the present administration for its continued legal challenges to the Chase sewage plant. However, there is a small window of opportunity for well owners as interested parties to be included in the township’s litigation. On April 11, I asked Mayor Ferris to afford Holmdel well owners the chance to join the township’s appeal. Mayor Ferris told me to put my comments in writing.
CAROLE BALMERHolmdel
Resident thankful for Matawan cops
In the March 23 Independent, “Speak Out” respondent Howard Golden said, “Fear unfounded” on the idea of merging the Matawan and Aberdeen police. Let’s look at that a little closer.
Matawan’s officer-to-square-mile ratio is 9.5, 21 officers to 2.2 square miles. Aberdeen is 4.3 — little over half 25 officers to 5.7 square miles.
If we had merged, the ratio would have been 5.7, 46 officers to 7.9 square miles. Aberdeen would have gained 1.4 officers without any tax increase, Matawan would have lost 3.8 officers, and I fear the taxes would not have went down.
Service to residents would have definitely went down with the loss of those men, and I think we would have lost our say that we have in the running of our
police and the spending of funds.The same as what happened to the
school system. Matawan voted the last school budget down. Aberdeen voted for it, so it passed, and our taxes went up. Thank you Aberdeen.
As a resident of Matawan, I would like to thank the mayor and council for keeping the police in Matawan. They do a great job and I would like to keep it the same.

Education begins with dedication
At a nearby nursery school, there is an iron statue of a teacher bending to help a student. It calls to all who are touched in any way by education of today. It reminds us that we must bend daily to meet the needs of our future.
We are their motivators, challengers, disciplinarians, listeners, social workers, caretakers and so on. We are faced with changes in the world, in our individual lives, in our Boards of Education, in our administration and in the lives of the people who trust us the most — our students.
We of the Keyport Teachers’ Association have been bending to the needs of our
district’s children.We also must stand united in our
efforts to settle our contract with the Keyport Board of Education. We need our board to see us as we are; professional educators dedicated to the needs of the children of the community.

School costs must be reduced
I would like to offer a number of ideas that would help the Matawan-Aberdeen Regional School District to save money and better utilize our limited resources. They are as follows:
1. Mandate re lie f — Instead of
expending so much effort in what w ill probably be a largely fruitless bid for more state aid, I think we, along with all other school districts, should push hard for relief from state mandates. If we are being forced to spend money that we would not otherwise spend in order to carry out unfunded state mandates, we should be working hard to either get the mandates eliminated or to make the state fully fund them. Common decency and fairness suggests that the level of government that enacts a mandate (and takes credit for its supposed benefits) should also provide the money to implement it.
2. Charge for bus transportation — If the state would allow us to charge parents directly for bus transportation while continuing to provide it free for those who can demonstrate financial need, it would
take some of the pressure off of the hated property tax and put it where it more properly belongs — on those of us with children in school.
3. Privatization of non-instructional services — Other districts have saved significant money by privatizing non-instructional services because private firms can attract qualified workers at lower pay and benefits than school districts seem compelled to offer. If we can save money and maintain or even improve the quality of these services, why not take advantage of the opportunity?
4. Offer employees catastrophic health insurance — Health insurance with a $3,000 annual deductible and no co-payment could probably be obtained for significantly less per year than the gold-plated policy that employees currently enjoy. The key here is to also offer the employee the difference between the cost of the low- deductible and high-deductible policy as additional pretax pay. Most employees who sign up for the high deductible plan would wind up with extra money to spend as they see fit. The district would benefit through a probable slowdown in health cost increases as employees become more cost conscious and less prone to overuse the system. Only the insurance companies would lose, and I don’t think many tears would be shed for them. Golden Rule Insurance Company in Indianapolis, Ind., implemented this approach, and it worked so well that even its advocates were pleasantly surprised. The idea is beginning to spread to other companies as well.
5. Get control over salary growth — The key offender here is the explosive growth in teachers’ salaries. I have pointed out numerous times in the past that teachers’ total compensation (pay and benefits) compares extremely favorably with what local private sector employers
pay workers whose jobs require similar levels of skill, education, responsibility or stress. This is especially true after adjust
ing for the shorter work year that teachers enjoy. O f course, public school teachers are also paid far more than private school teachers.
I think everyone agrees that most teachers are dedicated and do a good job. There is also no question that they make a valuable contribution to society. However,
current compensation, especially at the top of the salary guide, more than adequately reflects this. To illustrate the point, I learned that last year, Bethel Park, Pa., a suburb of Pittsburgh, slightly larger than our district, had 37 openings to fill after completing a successful early retirement program. At full strength, the district has 400 teachers. When they advertised for applicants for the 37 openings, they
were astounded to find themselves flooded with 11,000 applicants or almost 300 for each position!
If one looks at the teacher salary situation objectively, I think it could be argued that salaries, especially at the top of the guide, should be frozen for several years. It is the job of management sector standards. Also, New Jersey already ranks number one in the country in spending per pupil, and our district spends above the state average even though we are not rich in tax ratables. There are plenty of people who are qualified to teach who would love
to have a job in the district for considerably less than current teachers earn.
It would also be helpful if state collective bargaining rules and procedures specifically provided for a llow ing comparisons with the pay of private sector workers. In the end, however, it is management’s job to keep costs affordable. Part of that job is to make sure that the community understands all of these parameters, because if it should become necessary to take a strike, it will be critical to have community support for your position.
In summary, I think it is about time to insure that our education costs are driven more by market forces and less by union greed and monopoly power. To the extent that we. can cut costs further by pursuing some of the other ideas I ’ve outlined, we should do so. Taxpayers have already done more than their share.

Fund-raiser w ill aid disabled vets
Only once a year, the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States are permitted to solicit funds through a “Buddy Poppy” drive. This year, the governments cut back in funds for veterans medical facilities and entitlements make this program even more essential to assist our needy veterans.
Only volunteer members of the VFW and its ladies auxiliary are permitted to accept donations. Therefore, 100 percent of the funds contributed will go into a special hospital fund to aid the disabled and needy veterans.
Many do not know the history of the “Buddy Poppy,” and perhaps a brief explanation of its origin will be helpful.
In April of 1915, during World War I, a Canadian soldier, Colonel John McCrae,
viewed the hastily dug graves of those soldiers who had fallen in the second battle of Ypres in Belgium. He heard singing of
larks, and amid the graves saw little patches of red wild poppies. Inspired, he penned his famous poem, “In Flanders Fields”. An enlightened public will be helpful in making this drive successful. This year the Buddy Poppy fund-raiser will be from May 21-31.

Tune up today, to avoid trouble in the futureT oday's high-tech automo
biles can accumulate tens of thousands of miles with very little evidence of wear.
Despite the longevity, cars still need to be inspected regularly to avoid costly repairs down the road.
"One area often overlooked is the ignition system," says Bill Wetzel, senior product manager for Belden Automotive, a division of Cooper Automotive.
"Battery connections and spark plug wires are essential parts in every car that many times go unchecked too long."
In most cases, that all-to-familiar sound of a grinding starter barely turning an engine over can be traced back to the battery.
Batteries lose their charge over time, especially in cold weather, and cable connections can corrode. A certified technician can test the strength of a battery's charge. If there is any corrosion where the cables connect to the battery, they should be thoroughly cleaned.
"Batteries and corrosion go hand-

in-hand," Wetzel says. "The terminals need to be cleaned and checked regularly. They are simple enough to check, and it could save time and money in the long run if there is a problem."
Another area often overlooked is the spark plug wires. A number of signs to look for when checking the wires include corroded and torn boots, and cracks and abrasions in the wires.
The boots will corrode and tear from excessive vibrations, while heat may cause rubber insulation to crack. Abrasions can occur when a stretched wire comes in contact with another object.
Also, a spark plug wire soaked in oil may not perform up to par.
Warning signs of trouble include misfire during acceleration, hard starting and reduced gas mileage.
"Damaged wires can carry electrical current to the spark plugs, but the charge may not be as strong as it should be," Wetzel says.
"Trouble with wires can lead to bigger trouble down the road, including towing charges and large repair bills."
Just because your car starts every day doesn't mean the ignition system shouldn't be inspected on a regular basis.
"Preventive maintenance will help keep you on the road, especially when it comes to the ignition system," Wetzel says.
"Nothing can ruin a vacation trip quicker than a mechanical breakdown on the highway, especially one that costs a bundle to fix."

AUTOMOTIVE BUYER S GUIDE
Labriola Nissan, Red Bank, is pleased to announce the opening of a new location in Eatontown, at the corner of Hwy. 36 and Hwy. 35.
The new location will serve as an expanded area for previously owned vehicles including factory programmed cars and off- lease vehicles.
that leasing currently accounts for about 70 percent of their business.
"It's probably the only way to drive a car today," he said. Mentioning the warranties and other perks that come with most leases, he added, "It lets you get in a car without a down payment."
Since Labriola's customers come from all over the area, the Eatontown location will be a natural extention of their business. Not only will previously-owned cars be available at the site but leasing of all makes and models will also be done from the new location.
The expansion process began about a year ago and with the help and cooperation of the Eatontown Borough Council the site should be open for business by mid-May. Previously, the property had stood abandoned for seven or eight years. "We took what was an eyesore and turned it into something that will enhance the area," commented Labriola.
Labriola is not only excited about the new location, but is happy with the growth of the Altima. Introduced last year as a new addition to the quickly growing family sedan market, it has proved to be an outstanding success for Nissan. With a recently expanded plant in Tennessee, Nissan has now outsold Honda for the last several months and looks forward to continuing the lead, said Labriola.
New this year is the roomier, more luxurious Maxima that will go head-to-head with cars that cost $10 to $15,000 more than the Maxima. Also new this year is a more refined 240SX that will be geared toward women. Current statistics show that women buy 60 percent Of all 240SXs, said Labriola.
The Quest Van is another popular choice this year. In fact, the sales demand has outstripped the production schedule. "Whenever we get one, we sell one," commented Labriola.
Pictured above is President joe Labriola of Labriola Nissan. This May, Labriola will be opening another location on the corner of Hwy. 35 and Hwy. 36 in Eatontown. Pictured at the Red bank location (below) are Sales Manager Bill Taylor and Office Manager Marion DeCiorgio.

AUTOMOTIVE BUYER S GUIDE
MARLBORO CHRYSLER PLYMOUTHNo hard sells, no fast talk. People who want down-to-earth
information when shopping for a car can count on Marlboro Chrysler Plymouth, 42 North Main St. (Route 79), Marlboro.
Owner Bill McDonagh grew up in the auto industry. His late father owned McDonagh Chrysler Plymouth in East Brunswick for many years. At age 14, Bill started out washing cars and eventually came to work in all areas of the business?
He bought the Marlboro location over two years ago and has retained the <ind of old-fashioned service people expect from a "small town" dealership. In fact, the Marlooro location itself has been operating since the 1930's.
McDonagh points out that because they are a small dealership, they have a lower overhead and can afford to sell cars cheaper thar larger dealerships.
The sales staff, for instance, consists of three people: McDonagh, Bob Boyle, and Marty Ruszczyk. Both Boyle and Ruszczyk have over 20 years of experience in the industry. Together they all do a little bit of everything, said McDonagh.
"We do whatever we can to make people happy," said McDonagh. He added, "Without customers, you don't have a business, you have to remember that."
He said there's no real boss at the dealership and that each employee has the authority to do whatever they can for a customer. "We try to listen to everybody's individual problem and do whatever we can to take care of it," said McDonagh.
Service Manager Jeff Kane has over 25 years of experience in the business. He and his staff service all makes ana models of cars and have won the 1993 Award for Excellence from Chrysler for having the highest Customer Satisfaction Index in the area.
Hot models this year include the Voyager, the LHS and New Yorker and the Concorde.
"They have an excellent line up this year in all price ranges," commented McDonagh.
New this year is the sub-compact Neon. It has dual airbags and 132 horsepower. "It's got a ton of power for a little car and it still gets good gas mileage," said McDonagh. The Neon has already been named Car of the Year in Automobile Magazine. .

High mileage tires still affected by environment
Improved formulations for tire components are extending
the warranties offered by tire
manufacturers to as much as
80.000 miles.
Add an additional 10,000 to
20.000 miles that some tire retailers
are tacking on to the original war
ranties.
For most consumers, that's an
average of more than four years of driving on a single set of tires.
New hard rubber formulations
being used in many tires provide an
unprecedented level of durability,
extending tread wear to mileage
levels never before achieved.
A nationwide study released this
spring by Armor All Products
Corporation indicates that tread
wear is not the only concern that
consumers should consider when
caring for their tires.
"Sidewalls suffer from environ
mental degradation: pollutants,
ultraviolet radiation and ozone,"
says Tom Wien, brand manager for
Armor All Tire Foam™.
"The result of this degradation is
a phenomenon known as "sidewall
crazing" — small hairline cracks in the sidewalls of your tires. These
cracks make your tires look old,
weathered and unattractive.
With this in m ind, Armor All Products Corporation recently
released the results of a nationwide
study called, America's Ten Tire
Testers: the ten toughest cities in
America for tire sidewalls. The study
measured three categories — tem
perature cycling, ultraviolet rays and
ozone, which are the most harmful
environmental effects to exposed
rubber surfaces — and used a com
bined nine-point rating system.
Each of the three categories was
assigned a three-point weighting
with information sources including
the National Weather Service,
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the United
States Environmental Protection
Agency.
The results'of the study showed that Los Angeles is the toughest city
on tires, followed by San Diego,
Phoenix, Sacramento and the Houston/Galveston areas.
M iam i, Dallas/Fort W orth,
Jacksonville, New York and New
Orleans summed up the list.
In these days of specialty tires for
sports cars, family cars and luxury
vehicles, one factor remains consis
tent with the past — tire sidewalls
still need to be shielded from harm
ful environmental elements such as
ultraviolet rays, ozone and extreme
temperatures.

Red Bank Volvo, located at 119 E. Newman Springs Road, Red Bank, is ready to help you select a car known for its safety, longevity and durability. Today's Volvos (pictured below) are less boxy and more streamlined but still as safe, says General Manager John Mehrlander.
While "safety" seems to be the buzzword of the autom otive industry today, it's nothing new to Volvo. They've built their reputation on creating cars known for their safety, longevity and durability.
John Mehrlander, General M anager of Red Bank Volvo, commented that Volvo has, "always been a step ahead, or even two, in their quest for safety." And it's no different on their new 850 line.
Introduced last year, the 850 GLT marked Volvo's first front-wheel drive offering in the U.S. With the harsh winter, Mehrlander commented, "We were quite happy to have a four-wheel drive."
Building on the success of the 850 GLT, Volvo is proud to announce the introduction of a Sportswagon and Turbo to the line this year. 850's include dual airbags, a Side Impact Protection System, moon roof, and a 5-cylinder, 20-valve engine with 168 horsepower. The Turbo includes a 220 horsepower engine. Mehrlander said the 850 line, "has all the safety aspects Volvo has always stood for."
Volvo nas also become an increasingly good value, he added. As the flagship of the Volvo family, the 960 sets the standard for luxury at a price lower than one m ight expect and includes amenities such as twin power seats, leather interior, tilt wheel and moon roof.
A vast departure from the boxy design once so popular, Volvo has seen more streamlined cars and rounded noses and trunks in the past three years.
Mehrlander commented, Volvo's are still as safe, but not as square."
Rea Bank Volvo has the distinction of being the oldest Volvo dealer east of the Mississippi and is one of the largest dealerships in the state.
Family owned for over 37 years, it's now operated by the second generation of the Matthews family — Jim Matthews, Lynn Matthews Busch and Bob Matthews.
The personnel in each department of Red Bank Volvo are professionals. All service technicians and parts people are Volvo trained and .he sales representatives work with the customer through every step ot the transaction, from selection of the car to financing or leasing.
s summer approaches, an annual rite of passage commences with the weekend ritual of washing and detailing your car.
It's the time of year when you clean the wheels and polish the paint in an effort to bring back that showroom
shine.
More important than a "once over" every year, though, is to wash your car on a consistent basis, protecting against the damage caused by oxidation, acid rain and other types of contamination. This advice is even more critical for cars with today's clearcoat paint finishes.
Bill Stuart, an expert in the detailing industry for more than 20 years, outlined how professionals take care of their own cars. "Most importantly," he says, "wash often and wash properly."
Eggs, bird droppings, paint overspray and even water droplets are likely to cause permanent damage if left on the finish. Washing incorrectly can do almost as much harm as good. Stuart continued:
(1) Avoid washing your car in the sun. When possible, work in a protected area to cut down on the wind, which can carry dust and dirt.
(2) Rinse off as much soil as possible before washing.
(3) Properly clean the tires first, then the wheels. Spray a cleaning solution onto the tires and scrub with a strong-bristled brush such as CleanTools Tire Brush; it will let the tire absorb dressing more evenly and more thoroughly.
(4) Cleaning the wheels, especially today's clearcoated wheels, is important since brake dust and road salt can cause irreversible corrosion. It can start in hidden areas, and once it penetrates the clearcoat, the damage is impossible to correct. Use a brush that is safe, like the CleanTools Wheel Brush with "flagged" bristles — ends that are cut into tiny, super-soft pieces so they remove soil without damaging the
wheel's finish.
(5) Avoid cleaning warm wheels. A chemical that might be safe at 60 degrees might easily discolor or otherwise damage a wheel that is at 80 or 90 degrees or hotter.
(6) Never use household detergents or dish soap to wash your car. These strip the protective wax coat, quickly causing your car's finish to dry out and age prematurely.
(7) Use quality mitts rather than sponges or towels. Washing with a sponge or towel can actually grind the dirt into your car's surface. Mitts made with cheap, synthetic materials may not remove soil or hold wash solution very well. A good alternative is a mitt with deep fibers that capture dirt particles and hold them away from the car's surface.
It's advisable to use two wash mitts. Clean the dirtiest areas with the first mitt — below the body side molding, the grille, areas covered with bugs, etc. Use the second mitt and fresh wash solution to clean the rest of the body from the top down, keeping the car wet until you're ready to dry.
(8) Wash in straight lines, not circles. Use overlapping strokes to make
sure you reach every area.
(9) Take the nozzle off the hose to rinse the car. This allows water to sheet off, leavinq less standing water for you to dry off.
(10) Use the absorber to dry the car. It reduces your drying time and is safer on your paint; and since it doesn't pull wax from the surface, it prolongs the time between waxings and reduces dulling the car's finish.

It's been 18 months since Future Chevrolet CEO made a commitment to the "No-hassle One-price" concept of selling vehicles. During this time owner )oe Sefack and his staff have been pleased with the positive response they've received from customers, plus the increase in business. "Customers are amazed that they no longer have to spend time with unpleasant haggling and negotiating," Sefack comments.
Sales manager Irv Plotner says there are still some "non-believers" out there. People have been so used to bargaining that they feel there must be a gimmick. He suggests checking Future's prices first, then go to other agencies to compare. "I guarantee you'll come back here." Bob Sefack, the agency's Business Manager, adds, "When car buyers come to my office to complete the paper work, many still feel the price will change at the last moment or the interest rate will go higner. They're startled to find no tricks or gimmicks to this policy."
The innovative sellinq system has created a new breed of sales people. They must be knowledgeable about their products and no longer rely on bargaining skills. Their salary isn't based on commissions for number of cars sold or cost of the vehicles. Another change is from being the customers' adversary to serving as a consultant. Their training is on-going so they're able to best serve the buyers' driving needs.The sales staff includes Dave Veary, Eric Peduto, Ken Peal, Ray Lombardi, and two young women...Terry Borrelli and Chris Sefack. "Out of these six salespeople," Joe Sefack adds, "only two have been in the automotive business prior to working here.' Therefore their training has been in the vehicles themselves, specifically focusing on how to properly treat the customer...not negotiating over the price.
The one-price system doesn't stop with the sale. It encompasses the follow-up after the sale and lasts as long as the customer owns the vehicle. Price should not be the customer's only consideration. A service advisor contacts every buyer after the sale to check that he or she is pleased with ever/ phase of the transaction.
In comparing the "old way" of selling to the new way, the first year brought a 40 percent increase in sales. Now, into the second year, in spite of losing days due to this past winter's storms, 1994 sales are up 20 percent They anticipate the second half of this year to be even better. With the exciting line of new products that Chevrolet is planning to introduce, its 1995 vehicles will make a significant impact on the market. The Lumina and Monte Carlo will set new standards for qual ty, design and value for mid-size cars. Also, look for new designs in the popular S-10 Blazer as well as the Metro and Cavalier in the next few months.

Expert offers auto m aintenance advice
POPULAR VEHICLE—The Chevrolet Blazer has become one of the country's most sought-after vehicles. Drivers of all ages love its easy handling, cargo space and comfort.
Frank DiGiglio, general sales manager for Vespia's Tire Sc Auto Service Centers, offers some helpful tips for keeping your
car or truck in shape for the warm weather ahead.
"This past winter was one of the
worst in recent years," he says. With exceptionally deep pot holes, it was inevitable that when you hit them your car's front end alignment would suffer some damage. All 12 of Vespia
Tire Centers are offering free alignment checks.
An out-of-line car will do a great deal of damage to tires. Besides checking your vehicle's alignment, the air pressure of all tires should also be checked.
in addition to the front end, routine maintenance should be done to
avoid summer breakdowns. If you thought last winter was tough on
your automobile, just add the punishment of summer's heat, dust, and stop-and-go traffic.
The money you spend on regular, periodic maintenance should pay for itself in peace of mind and longer vehicle life — up to 50 percent longer, DiGiglio adds.
Your best planning guide is your owner's manual. Read it; and follow the manufacturer's recommended service schedules. The certified technicians at Vespia advise checking
your brakes and making sure your coolant is up-to-date.
The level, condition and concentration of the coolant should be checked periodically. Tune-ups and oil changes are also done by Vespia's expert mechanics.
The greatest cause of summer breakdowns is overheating. The
tightness and condition of drive
belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro. The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months.
Have Vespia's technicians change your oil and oil filter as specified in
your manual — more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short trips, plan extended travel with lots of luggage, or if you tow a trailer.
Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended — more often in dusty conditions. In addition to
getting better gas mileage, you'll help lessen air pollution by keeping your engine at peak performance.
Vespia carries GoodYear and Cooper Tires for cars and trucks. DiGiglio advises drivers to have tires rotated about every 5,000 miles.
Examine each tire for tread life, uneven wearing and cupping; check the sidewalls for cuts and nicks. Don't forget to check your spare, and be sure the jack is in good condition.
Brakes should be inspected as recommended in your manual, sooner if you notice pulsations, grabbing, noises or longer stopping distance. Minor brake problems should be corrected promptly.
Batteries can fail any time of year. The only accurate way to detect a
weak battery is with professional
equipment, but most people can perform routine care: scrape corrosion
from posts and cable connections; clean all surfaces; retighten connections.
DiGiglio advises drivers to service their cars now so when the summer days arrive, you'll enjoy carefree driving.

AUTOMOTIVE BUYER S GUIDE
Tom's Ford, Keyport, is celebrating its 32nd year this spring and looking toward the future with some important changes.
Major renovations at the dealership are nearing completion including a new and larger showroom, customer lounge, additional service bays, business offices and an indoor two-lane service drive-thru.
Virtually every area of the dealership has been renovated, said President Bob Lyttle.
The indoor service drive will provide a new level of customer service and convenience unique to the area. Customers will be able to drive into an enclosed building and be greeted at their car by a service representative. After the repair work has been verified and recorded, the vehicle will be valet parked until the technician can begin repairs.
When the renovation process began, said Lyttle, the entire staff shared their ideas to ensure the facility would be customer friendly and convenient.
He commends all 75 employees for their input and patience during the construction. "The winter weather was difficult enough and the construction phase presented additional challenges, but the spring is with us now and the work is almost complete," he commented.
Lyttle also wanted to thank the customers who saw them through this renovation. "We are sure the results will enhance our customer service," he added.
With, all the upgrades, 1994 is expected to be the best year in the history of the dealership. The Ford products have been so well accepted by the public that Ford now sells five out of ten of the best selling vehicles in the U.S.
The all new Mustang has been extremely successful and now Ford has introduced the Windstar, an all new model in the mini-van segment. Other new additions include the Aspire, a subcompact model equipped with dual air bags and anti-lock brakes for under $10,000 .
Tom's Ford was again honored by Ford Motor Company with the "Distinguished Achievement Award For Outstanding Customer Service" for 1993. They were also the only dealership in N.J. to be awarded the "Partners in Quality Award" from Ford Motor Credit for 1993, the highest award for commitment to customer satisfaction. A SVT, or Special Vehicle Team, dealer, Tom's Ford also provides high performance Cobra Mustangs and F150 Lightning Pickups.
President Bob Lyttle (pictured above) stands outside of Tom's Ford, Hwy. 35, Keyport. The dealership has undergone major renovations in the past few months including a new drive-in service area (pictured at right). With all the improvements, Lyttle is looking forward to enhanced customer service at the dealership.

Serpentine belts are rapidly replacing the traditional V- shaped belts that have been the mainstay of automotive engine drives
for more than 70 years.
Today, more than 90 percent of the cars leaving Detroit (and some imports) have a single Micro-V or V- ribbed serpentine belt that drives multiple engine accessories. These include the water pump, fan, power- steering pump, air-conditioner compressor and alternator.
This engine drive configuration saves weight and precious space in the engine compartment.
Serpentine belts should be checked periodically for signs of wear, recommends The Gates Rubber Company, a major original equipment and aftermarket supplier.
One indicator of belt wear, and impending failure, is belt noise — those annoying squeaks, squeals, chirps and growls coming from under the hood.
Older belts become smoother, creating a glossy, glazed surface that raises the likelihood of noise. However, different noises can mean different kinds of problems.
Belt "chirping" (an intermittent, high-pitched, bird-like noise that can be heard as the engine is revved up) usually indicates pulley misalignment.
"Squealing," a more continuous sound that commonly occurs wh-;n pulling away from a stop, usually suggests incorrect belt tension.
Belt squeal can also be heard momentarily when the car is started after it has sat idle for a time, such as overnight.
As the belt turns on the drive, itheats up. Then, it shrinks enough so the tension reaches its normal level,
and the squeal stops.
However, when the engine is turned off and the belt cools, it expands again and the squeal will return upon engine restart.
Another common low-tension indicator occurs when a higher load is
Elaced on the drive. For example, the elt runs fine until the air-conditioner is turned on.
A slapping sound is likely caused by either loose belts, which need to be re-tensioned, or misalignment of the belt.
Belt noise can also result from vibration caused when belts are loose or under-tensioned. Vibration may happen over time as bearings loosen up, as the accessory brackets become loose, or deflect more than expected.
Vibration can produce several different types of sounds. Chirping noises are possible if the vibration is bad enough, but at a level that is barely audible.
Contamination of the belt drive is perhaps the easiest cause of belt noise to identify.
The belt should be inspected for oil contamination or road grit in the belt grooves. Gravel will sometimes be pushed through to the backside of the belt, and the holes may be visible on the cover. Dirt accumulation on the belt may also be obvious.
If noise is an annoyance, have the belt drive inspected by a service technician.
A properly tensioned belt on a well-aligned drive should provide quiet and trouble-free service for many miles.
If the noise persists, or if the belt is four years old, engineers recommend changing the serpentine belt immediately.
Keep car’s fuel system clean to avoid repairs
v
In recent years, fuel injection has become the dominant fuel-deliv- ery system in new car technology.
Because an automobile's fuel-injector nozzle is roughly about the diameter of a human hair, it takes just a small amount of dirt or debris to cause serious blockage problems.
Once formed, fuel injector deposits can reduce fuel-efficiency and adversely affect overall engine performance!
Without proper care, this could lead to an expensive repair bill. So car owners should help keep their car's fuel systems clean. According to the experts at First Brands Corp., the maker of STP automotive products, people are turning to fuel additives in order to keep their cars' fuel-injection systems running at peak efficiency.
Keeping deposits from returning is particularly important during the summer months. With vehicle owners relying on their cars for weekend outings, vacations and recreation, fuel-efficiency and engine performance are critical.
Using a fuel-injector cleaner, like STP Super Concentrated Fuel Injector Cleaner™, will help clean and condi
tion your entire fuel-delivery system. Cleaning clogged injectors will
increase fuel-efficiency and reduce emissions. Cars that are experiencing rough idling and decreased acceleration can also benefit from fuel-injector cleaners.
By regularly using a fuel additive, like STP Super Concentrated Fuel Injector Cleaner, car owners can clean their fuel injection systems and help keep harmful deposits from coming back. The formula in STP Super Concentrated Fuel Injector Cleaner contains a highly concentrated detergent that quickly dissolves accumulated deposits and cleans dirty fuel injectors.
One treatment will instantly help unclog a car's dirty injectors. Regular vehicle maintenance practices should include adding a 12-ounce bottle to a full tank of gas every 2,500 miles to
help maintain a vehicle's maximum operating efficiency and performance.
So clean your car's entire fuel-deliv- ery system before your car suffers loss of performance or is in the shop for repairs instead of on the road.

MilThe Buhler name has stood for service and quality since
George Buhler first opened a Hudson franchise in downtown Keyport in 1925. His son, Bob, later joined the business and by 1968, the dealership had expanded to include Plymouths and moved to a new location at 3290 Route 35, Hazlet.
Today Don Buhler is continuing the tradition started by his grandfather but with some important changes. In 1987, Buhler Dodge opened at 131 Newman Springs Road, Red Bank, and in 1989, Buhler and a partner, Norman Pickelny, purchased what is now Buhler Chevrolet, located on Route 36, Eatontown.
With this expansion, Buhler is able to offer a great selection to car buyers. Buhler & Bitter Chrysler Plymouth, Hazlet, features tne complete line of Chrysler products and for the

These dealerships, along with Buhler Chevrolet, give customers an array of quality cars to choose from, whether you're looking for a $7,000 car or a $65,000 car, Buhler hassomething to fit any budget and any lifestyle.
Buhler, nowever, attributes his success to key personnel who maintain a straight forward and honest way of doing business. "Our goal is to have customers come back to us because they like our honesty and are satisfied with the way they are treated," he said.
Perhaps the Buhler dealerships have always been a bit ahead of their time. Buhler said big changes are happening in the thinking of upper management at Chrysler Plymouth that reflect what Buhler has held as a philosophy for years. Instead of emphasizing sales volume, Chrysler Plymouth is now focusing on generating repeat business by going that extra mile for customers. In short, they want customers who are more than satisfied, they're downright impressed.
"They're changing the way they do business," Buhler said of Chrysler Plymouth. "I have always had that philosophy, though," he added.
Begun last year, Buhler is still working with customer focus groups to design programs that would "thank" their customers. "We're thinking in different directions," commented Buhler. Service specials will definitely be a part of the mix such as service loaners and offering competitive prices with mass merchandisers.

Know your antifreeze I.Q. before your car overheats
Despite efforts to educate people about the importance of properly maintaining their cooling systems by changing their
antifreeze annually, it comes as a surprise to find that many have never had their cooling systems serviced at all.
And some people think antifreeze is only important for winter driving. It's no wonder that cooling system failure continues to be the No. 1 engine-related cause of roadside breakdowns in this country.
By taking an active interest in your car's cooling system and learning
more about proper maintenance procedures, many of these breakdowns can be avoided. The first step in this process is to test your Antifreeze I.Q. To do this, ask yourself these simple questions:
Question 1: Have you checked or changed your antifreeze in the past year?
Question 2: Does your current antifreeze meet your car manufacturer's required freeze-up and boil-over protection standards, which are listed in your owner's manual?
Question 3: Does your current antifreeze provide protection against rust and corrosion in your vehicle's cooling system?
If you answered no to any of these questions, it's time to change your antifreeze to one that will properly work with your cooling system.
Antifreeze is one of the most important fluids used in your car's engine.
Not only does it protect the engine from boiling over in hot summer weather and freezing in winter, it also prevents damaging rust and corrosion buildup in the cooling system. To keep your cooling system running, its important to have your antifreeze changed annually. In fact, it's easy to do yourself:
Drain — When draining your cooling system, collect the used antifreeze in a sealable container instead of allowing it to drain onto the street or ground. Take the sealed container to a municipal drop-off site for used antifreeze or to a service station for recycling.
Flush — Flush the entire cooling system with a product like Prestone Super Flush to remove rust deposits, grease, dirt, oily residue and used coolant that can contaminate new antifreeze and make it less effective.
Refill — To provide boil-over protection to 265 degrees F and freeze protection to -34 degrees F, refill your cooling system with a minimum 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water.
For even better protection, use a mixture of no more than 70 percent antifreeze/30 percent water. Knowing your antifreeze I.Q., and selecting the right antifreeze will help ensure trouble-free drivinq all summer and year
long. The warm weather entices many to hit the highway, so the last thing anyone wants on a vacation is car problems. Before embarking
on a long journey or even a weekend getaway, first make sure your tires are ready to roll.
"Keep in mind that tires are affected by warm temperatures," says Rick Brennan, marketing manager, consumer products, for Yokohama Tire Corporation, which manufactures and supplies several original equipment and replacement tires for the United States. "For example, air pressure increases with heat, so it's important to check regularly. Visual inspections are also important to detect cuts and other exterior damages which may be caused by driving on rough winter roads."
According to Brennan, tires are among the easiest and most economical part of the car to maintain. In fact, just a few minutes each month will help ensure longer tire life and top performance. Preventing problems before they occur is the key.
Tire maintenance is comprised of five main elements: air-pressure checks, visual inspections, rotation, alignment and balancing.
Air-pressure checks are considered to be tne most important aspect of tire maintenance, because improper air pressure is the greatest cause of dam age. Over inflated or under inflated tires result in irregular tread wear, poor gas mileage, squealing around corners
and "mushy" steering.Recommended air pressures usually
can be found in owner's manuals, although it's best to consult with the tire dealer or manufacturer if the vehicle's original tires have been replaced. Generally, tires lose about one pound per square inch each month. Warmer conditions will cause a rise in pressure of about one-psi for every 10 degrees, so tires should be cool for an accurate
reading.To ensure proper air inflation,
Brennan recommends checking tire pressure at least once a month. Tires should be cool when checking air pressure. A tire is cool when it has been driven less than one mile. Checks can be done at service stations, usually at no charge. Visual inspections may De performed at home.
Visual inspections of the tires can also reveal irregular tread wear, punctures or other exterior damages, as well as the amount of tread remaining on a tire.
There are two simple tests for detecting if a tire's tread is below the safe, legal limit. One such method is to check the wear bar indicators, which can be located by using the arrows on the tire sidewall as a guide. The tire should be replaced, if tne tread is the same height as the wear bar. Another test is by placing a penny in the tire's tread. If Lincoln s head on the coin is fully visible, the tire needs replacing.
J'Tires should be rotated every7,000 to 10,000 miles, with city driving requiring the most attention," Brennan says. "Tread wear is determined by a vehicle's weight distribution. Balancing out the wear variances extends the life and performance of the tires."
Tread wear can also be affected by improper wheel alignment. If neglected, incorrect alignment can lead to suspension damage. Alignment is often altered by driving over potholes and rough roads, which causes one part of the tire to wear more quickly than others.
Uneven wear may also occur if the wheels and tires are out of balance. Tires that are out of balance may be detected by a vibrating steering wheel, which usually becomes more pronounced at higher speeds. Brennan recommends having a vehicle aligned and balanced once a year by a profes

AUTOMOTIVE BUYER S GUIDE
RASSAS PONTIACPeople who want a friendly, neighborhood automobile
dealership they can trust, have been turning to Rassas Pontiac of Red Bank for the last 64 years.
Presently operated by Ben Rassas and his son, Aaron, the Pontiac dealership was founded by Joseph and Alex Rassas in 1930 and was located on Mechanic Street in Red Bank. In 1941, due to Alex's sudden death, his brother, Ben Rassas, entered the business. Today, Ben remains active, usually arriving by 7 a.m. to prepare for the day. Ben has instilled in Aaron the family's pride and desire to operate in a way that only adds to the good reputation of the dealership.
In 1950, the dealership was moved to its present facility at 385 Broad St, Red Bank. Through the years, additional land was acquired and the original Building was expanded. The facility now includes a N.J. state licensed body shop, a large modern state-of-the-art Service Department, a large well-lit Used Car Lot, and a Parts Department with an extensive inventory of CM parts.
In 1991, Ben was honored by the Pontiac Division for being a 50-year dealer — one of only 12 in the U.S. But Ben is especially proud that he and Aaron have earned Pontiac's "Master Dealer Award" for eight years out of the last ten. This award is given to less than 10 percent of all Pontiac dealerships and is based on sales, service and customer satisfaction.
Much credit for the success of Rassas Pontiac has to be given to past and present employees. Bill Thorpe, Service Manager for 41 years, Ralph Learn with 48 years in Sales and Joe Budner, a technician for 32 years, top the present list of21 full-time employees.
Pontiac "Builds Excitement" with quality cars like the Sunbird, Grand Am, Grand Prix, Firebird, Trans Sport and Bonneville. Ben, Aaron and their knowledgeable Sales Department are proud to sell them. It is interesting to note that Ben and Aaron are most proud that Rassas Pontiac continues to sell and service cars for the same families for the last 64 years. "We do this," says Ben, "because we are competitive, we're friendly and our Service Department is efficient. Our 96 percent Customer Satisfaction Index, computed by the Pontiac Division, is one of the best in the United States and that's why our customers, new and old, continue to buy from Rassas Pontiac."
Ben and Aaron Rassas (above) are proud of the history of service at their Pontiac dealership in Red Bank. Much of their success they attribute to long-time employees such as Salesman Ralph Learn(bottom, left), Service Manager BillThorpe (center) Michael Lagnese.

Check shocks & struts
Acommon cause of hie accidents is the driver's Toss of control of the vehicle. Reasons
vary, and may include driving too fast for conditions, rough roacf surface, momentary inattention at the wheel and many more, but the net result is an accident.
In many cases a more "forgiving" car can help avoid such a crisis. The term relates to a car's ability to cling to the road when the driver enters a curve too fast or to stay on course when the right wheels run onto the shoulder of tne road.
A valuable safety feature of a late- model car is its excellent handling characteristics. Good "roadability, which can help keep drivers out of trouble, should remain theirs for the life of their cars if they practice preventive maintenance. This means regular checks, service and replacement of critical systems like brakes, steering and suspension, including tires.
Shock absorbers and struts, defined as ride-control parts, also fit into the category of safety equipment. (A strut has a shock absorber inside a "hous
ing," which connects the suspension to the vehicle's body.) If you're riding on worn shocks and struts, your vehicle may be unsafe not only to driver and passengers, but also to other vehicles on the road.
Your car's ability to steer, brake and accelerate depends on the friction between the tires and the road. Instability of a vehicle, such as bouncing wheels or swaying on turns, is caused by worn shock absorbers and/or struts. Worn shocks will also cause a nose-dive action when you come to a stop and can increase braking distances up to 10 percent.
The symptoms of deteriorating ride control can gradually "sneak up on you" until they become noticeably
Ead. Such was the case with many owners of several hundred cars and trucks inspected during a National Car Care Month vehicle check. Forty-four percent had discrepancies with ride control components, mainly leaking shocks or struts. When the condition was brought to the owners' attention, they noted their vehicles had been riding or handling poorly.
Help car keep its cool
Most people take the time to check the rubber on their car tires before heading out on a vacation trip. However, the rubber
under the hood is just as important as the rubber around the rims. Broken belts and burst radiator hoses are two of the most common causes of engine failure on the road.
Rubber components, such as hoses and belts, exist in a hot, hostile environment. On a July day, the temperature under the hood can rise to above 250 degrees. To keep the engine cool, more than 7,500 gallons of coolant per hour will circulate through hoses at up to 18 pounds of pressure.
With demands like these, periodic inspections are just common sense. You can inspect a cooling system yourself or take the car to your local mechanic. Many mechanics participate in the Dayco Cooling System Specialist program. These mechanics offer free cooling system inspections.
Cooling system inspections are not time-consuming. By making an appointment in advance, you can take care of this on your lunch hour, before your family departs for a road trip. Because they stock a wide range of belts and hoses, chances are most cooling system specialists will have
replacements on hand, if replacement is necessary.
The goal of a cooling system inspection is to make sure your cooling system is in good shape before you leave home. Tne mechanic will look for worn, damaged or leaking parts. The following is a list of the items checked during a cooling system inspection:
• the condition of the water pump.• Leaks or corrosion in the radiator.• The proper coolant level.• Leaks or breaks on hoses.• Loose hose connections.• An adequate seal on the radiator
pressure cap.• A thermostat that adequately
monitors engine temperature.• Worn or frayed belts.• Proper tension on belts.The mechanic probably will recom
mend replacing worn or damaged hoses or belts with new parts. Cracks on belts and soft spots on hoses indicate it is just a matter of time before these parts fail. It will be less costly to replace them while the car is at the shop than to pay for a tow truck along a highway.
A cooling system inspection is an investment in your peace of mind. Vacations are for spending time with your family, not for car repairs.

SEA COAST MITSUBISHIIt's the dawn of a new era at Sea Coast Mitsubishi. Pete
Sucato, with over 30 years experience in the auto industry, assumed ownership of the dealership just a mere two months ago. But those two months have seen some important changes.
Sea Coast's commitment to customer service has been redefined and sales have increased by 100 percent.
With a background in service and parts as well as sales, Sucato places on a strong emphasis on forming friendships with his customers.
"Although we're on a highway, we want to make it a community dealership," commented Sucato. He added that he'd like to get back to, "the way people did business years ago."
His sales staff, including General Sales Manager John Melone and Sucato's son, Peter, age 23, are dedicated to making fair, honest deals. "They're there to receive both compliments and reasons for concern," said Sucato.
He said shopping for a car should be a, "friendly, pleasant experience" and people should know, "after the sale, we're still here."
Service Manager Gene Russo oversees a staff of factory- trained technicians and Parts Manager Bob Ringer has many years of experience. Both the service and parts departments are open Mon. through Fri. 8 a.m. to 5 p.m . and on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Local shuttles are also available for convenience.
Sea Coast Mitsubishi is looking forward to a great year. A new Eclipse as well as a 3000 GT convertible are expected in late summer.
Those seeking a beautiful, luxury car can count on the Diamante and Sucato calls the Montero, "the ultimate suburban vehicle," comparing it to the Range Rover. Also hot this year is the ever-popular Galant.
Sucato said Mitsubishi has a range of vehicles and pricing to meet all budgets, both in purchasing and leasing. "Many models include features that are options oh most vehicles but standard with Mitsubishi," commented Sucato.
A quality used car lot at the dealership also features a variety of styles from economical to sporty or luxurious
"At Sea Coast Mitsubishi, quality and professionalism are standard," commented Sucato. As a final note, Sucato tells
Eotential customers, "I could talk about our service all day, ut to prove it I invite you to come and check us out."

A great many things have happened at Oasis Ford since it moved to its modern and larqe facility on Route 9 and Spring Valley Road in Old Bridge two-and-a-half years ago.
Oasis received many accolades from Ford Motor Co. including the Distinguished Achievement Award For Quality. They have consistently ranked first, second or third place for total volume in the New York Region over the last few months. Sales manager Ron Rosen proudly tells about the Q uality Commitment Program (QCP) in which they're one of the top dealers in the ir region, comprised of 275 Ford dealers in New York, New jersey and Connecticut.
Many of the ir sales staff are Master Award winners, another achievement they've worked hard for. W ith Oasis Ford's high volume of selling more than 300 vehicles a month, Rosen says it's a tribute that all employees, in every department, have done the ir jobs to maintain the high QCP rating.
Rosen notes that Ford Motor Co. has aggressively kept pace w ith the newest technology and designs. In 1994 they introduced exciting vehicles including the Aspire, all-new Mustang and the Wind Star m inivan which is expected to take the m inivan market by storm. Another sedan, the Contour, w ill debut in the fall.
Oasis' palm tree trademark can be seen outlined in neon lights on the wall of their showroom. The palm tree has become an area landmark since the dealership opened in 1991. Thirty-three years ago Irving Rosen first opened a used car lot and auto repair shop in Sayreville. In 1982 he took the opportunity to open a Ford franchise, and w ith dedication to customer satisfaction, he prospered. The Rosen's four children have all been involved in the Business. Robin Rosen is service manager, David Rosen is general manager, Ron is sales manager and the oldest daughter, Donna Valente has taken time off to raise a family.
The Rosen philosophy of doing business has prevailed through the years. They're a large volume dealership, but they don't act like a high-pressure highway store. "We're proud of the fact that 65 percent of our business is repeat and referral customers," Ron Rosen adds, "and we strive to make it 100 percent."
Oasis' high QCP rating is dependent not only on the sales department, but also on the service end of the business. To serve their customers even more efficiently, plans for expansion of the service department are being made.
The Rosen family wishes to thank the ir loyal customers for their continued patronage. Ron Rosen adds, "O ur dealership couldn't be a success w ithout tnem. We dedicate ourselves to continue to maintain the high standards of the Quality Committment Program."

RITTENHOUSE-KERR FORD■ At Rittenhouse-Kerr Ford five seems to be a very lucky
. . . .number this year.
For one, it is the fifth anniversary since partners Thomas Rittenhouse and Doug Kerr bought the Shrewsbury Ave., Red Bank dealership. For another, five of the ten bestsellers are Fords. Finally, five of Rittenhouse Kerr's salespeople have achieved the Masters Award, the ultimate award for sales volume combined with customer satisfaction.
Sales Manager Neil Hollingsworth is especially proud of this last honor. "No other dealership in our N.Y. district has that distinction," he said. A lth o jg n other dealerships can talk about service, he said this proves their com m itm ent to their customers.
"Obviously our salesmen must know w hat they're doing as far as helping people," commented Hollingsworth.
The philosophy of the dealership, he said, is to constantly be striving for improvement. "We're not satisfied with the status quo, we're always looking for ways to be better," he said. Even the Masters Award is something that has to be earned every year.
"You can't rest on your laurels," said Hollingsworth.Owners Thomas Rittenhouse and Doug Kerr divide their time between between the Ford dealership and Rittenhouse-Kerr Lincoln/Mercury/Chrysler/Plymouth in Ocean Township. Their experience as well as the 30-year history of the automotive industry itself provides a solid base of experience at the Ford dealership that is constantly evolving.
"We've built on our experience and developed through the years," said Hollingsworth.
Rittenhouse-Kerr's service departm ent is also one of the biggest in the area and has rated within the top 15 percent for customer satisfaction. Service m anager Steve Lasoff oversees a staff of seventeen people who handle the 25-bav department. All technicians are factory-trained and worn with the latest diagnostic equipment. Loaner cars and shuttles are available for customer's convenience.
Many Ford models are hot this year and Hollingsworth is looking forward to a good season. The 1995 Windstar as well as the newly designed Mustang are attracting an array of customers. Also popular is the Ford Explorer.

After each talk, the speaker opened the
floor to questions and a discussion of his
subject.
Each speaker was allotted an area in
the all-purpose room of the school, and
each of the more than 50 members of the
Scout troop was able to speak directly to
the speaker related to the field in which
he was most interested.

Walking into the Saturn of Freehold showroom is a unique experience. Whether you purchase a car or not, the prime concern of every employee there is to make you feel special and treat you as a guest...not as a customer.
General manager Phil Hamburger explains, "The basic tenet of the Saturn team, from the people who manufacture the car to everyone at the agency is to treat every person who visits our facility with the utmost respect and courtesy...the way we would want to be treated ourselves."
Back in 1990, people questioned how a totally new automaker could compete against tne big auto conglomerates. "But Saturn's success in the past four years has been phenomenal," he adds, "and it's been a- combination of the company's innovative selling system, plus the superb vehicles they manufacture. Saturn's engineers designed tne 100 percent American-made vehicles not to go up against, but to exceed all standards and expectations."
Saturn of Freehold's staff includes Tony Carma, general sales manager; John McFall, service manager; Leon Stanley, parts manager; Carol Holinaty, office manager; and Ed Suriano, customer service manager. The managers, plus every sales consultant and technician, have attended Saturn's intensive training program in Tennessee. They all share the team spirit and philosophy of attain ing the highest level of achievement in the industry.
According to Garma, the five values that Saturn stresses is uppermost in all their minds...Commitment to Excel; Customer Enthusiasm; Trust and Respect for the Individual; Commitment to Continuous Improvement; and above all, Teamwork.
Since its founding, Saturn has come up with more than 100 new ways to design and build cars. Along the way they've -garnered over 55 patents which include mechanical advances such as refining transmission shift patterns, a unique space-frame for a safer and more practical vehicle, and molding tne body-side panels from polymer...a material that actually bends and bounces back on impact, thus eliminating the inevitable nicks and dents from shopping carts or other objects.
"We're not trying to be everything to evei comments. "As a " models...a wagon, variations and options within those vehicles." He says they don't consider their competition to be other domestic vehicles, but aim to compete with the foreign imports in price, value and excellence of the vehicles.
You have to see for yourself the way Saturn has changed the way cars are sold. They invite you to stop by and enjoy the Saturn experience.

Here's What THEY Don't Want You To Know!
JUST RELEASED IN ARIZONA BY
UNIVERSITY MEDICAL RESEARCH!
367 Eye-Opening Pages Covering 246 Ailments!
Drug companies make tre
mendous profits when they can
patent a new medicine. A pill
that costs a penny each to make
can easily be sold for $1.00 to
$4.00 each. (That's why President
Clinton is demanding AND HOP
ING that they lower their prices
to help cut healthcare costs - an
unlikely event.)
And they get to charge these
outrageous prices for 17 years
before their patent expires. After
that "generic" drug companies
can sell them at fair prices.
Can't Patent Anything Nature Produces!
However, they can't patent
anything that mother nature pro
duces such as a vitamin or natural
medicine! For example, the ingredient in aspirin occurs naturally in the bark of a willow tree—so it can't be patented.
A patent means no competi
tion. The drug companies CAN'T
charge a high price fo r an
unpatentable medicine because
OTHER drug companies can make
the same product. Who-ever sells
it at the lowest price gets most of
the business.
Since big drug companies are
spoiled by the high prices that
they get for patented drugs, they
simply won't make low-profit nat
ural medicines.
S itu a tio n Frustrates M e d ic a l Scientists!
Scientists worldw ide have
been annoyed and frustrated by
this situation for a long time.
Especially because they've estab
lished that almost 200 natural
medicines may work as well or
better than drug company
"chemicals"!
Finally, in Arizona, University
Medical Research has published
this book which reveals the exten
sive laboratory testing and amazing benefits of many natural med
icines. Here's a few of the 194 discussed in this book that the drug
companies don't want you to
know about:
C holestero l• University ,of California
Medical School researchers dis
covered that a plant ester, if taken
daily, could decrease cholesterol
absorption by 42% (page 213).
A rth ritis A n d B ack P a in• University of Chicago Med
ical School found a natural amino
acid which is an excellent pain
k ille r w ith no side effects. It
brought relief quickly in several cases (page 170).
H e a r t D isorders• Scientists found that a rare
enzyme increased the survival
rate up to 40% of those prone to
heart attacks (page 197).
H ig h B lo o d Pressure• Researchers at University of
Texas found a nutrient that lowers
blood pressure by up to 23 points.
Scientists for the Honolulu Heart
Program determined that a miner
al in certain vegetables also
reduced pressure significantly (page 217).
B rea s t C an c er• Scientists at University of
California and the National Cancer
Center Hospital in )apan found
that a nu trien t obtained from
some exotic foods reduces the
possibility of breast cancer by a
very high percentage (page 232).
Double-blind lab tests
show many may be
as good as drug
company creations!
Ulcers• British doctors at Airdale
General Hospital near London
double-blind tested 100 ulcer
patients w ith the most popular
prescription drug and an extract
from a root often used for flavor
ing. The root extract worked as
well without any of the side effects
associated with the prescription
drug (page 242).
W rin k les , B r it t le H a i r A n d N a ils
• The journal of International
Medical Research reported that a
shell fish protein extract when
taken orally increased the body's
production of collagen. It dramati
cally reduced wrinkling of photo
aged skin of subjects taking it.
53% showed a 100% improve
ment. Their ages ranged from 39
to 71. All those w ith brittle hair
and nails experienced a 100%
improvement (page 149).
Im p o te n c e• Researchers at Kingston
General Hospital and Queen's
University in Canada tested a sub
stance obtained from a tree on
men from the ages of 18 to 71.
46% had positive improvement.
At Stanford University labs, scien
tists said it caused impotent rats to
mate as much as 45 times in 15
minutes (page 131).
W e ig h t Loss• Temple University scientists
tested a substance found in
m inute quantities in Mexican
yams. It reduced body fat by up to
25% in animals with no reduction
of food intake or suppression of
appetite. They also believe it
inhibits the development of breast cancer (page 165).
Vision• An extract from a berry has
been tested on patients with high
myopia. Visual acuity and function
was increased significantly and
night blindness was reduced (page
182).
P ro s ta te P ro b lem s• An extract from the bark of
an African tree has been tested in 12 hospitals on 672 patients. The
majority were significantly relieved of many symptoms (page 104).
M e n o p a u s e• Many scientists believe that
plant estrogens, taken orally, are as
effective as synthetic estrogen and
safer because of the reduced risk of
uterine and breast cancer (page
113).
H a ir Loss• Tests of a new hair growth
compound at AMA Laboratories
showed that it increased vellous
hair by 227% and worked on 78%
of those tested. It's not Rogaine,
and your hair doesn't fall out
when you stop using it (page 264).
O steoporos is• British scientists have tested a
cream made from plant proges
terone that when applied daily
increased bone density up to 25%
within a year (page 116).
f.Q. Im p ro v e m e n t• A famous Nobel Prize winner
reported that a special mixture of
nutrients was given daily to intel- lectly-deficient students. After a
few months their I.Q.s increased
25% (page 70).
M e m o ry A n d F a tig u e• A relative ly unknown but
FDA-approved m edicine has
shown in tests tha t it can
improve memory and mental
alertness, increase appetite,
reduce depression and fatigue
(page 58).
J et L a g A n d In s o m n ia• Canadian and New Zealand
scientists have confirmed that a
pineal gland substance, taken orally, can alleviate jet lag and
prevent insomnia (page 270).
• A total of 194 medicines that relieve 246 ailments and dis
eases are discussed in this eye-
opening new book.
Most doctors simply don't
know about these medicines
because only 25 of 137 major
medical schools have courses on
natural medicines. Therefore,
you 'll probably have to learn
about them yourself.
Compiled From 266 Research Projects
Most of the lab tests of these
medicines were conducted at
major university medical centers
following FDA-type guidelines in
rig id ly controlled double-blind
studies. Over 500 scientists partici
pated in these research projects.
(All studies are listed in the book.)
Cut Your Medical Costs!
Most of these medicines are
non-prescription which means
much lower costs and less doc
to r visits. They are available now and the sources are listed in the book.
Easy to read,But Not Available In Book Stores!
Due to the tremendous cost
of researching and compiling this
book, the publisher cannot afford
to share the revenue with book
stores; but you can order it by

riage to see if there is a full moon. Then we hear it. A scraping sound is approaching from the rear of the car. The sinister sound repeats in slow and stilted fashion, punctuated by gasping breath, inching nearer and nearer.
We are huddled and frozen, shrinking violets — shrinking sanity. The scraping halts in the aisle just behind our seat. The gasping and gulping for air registers in decibels. We turn nervously to greet our nemesis.
The poor ex-CEO of Lostafortuneon- wallstreet Inc. shuffles past pulling the oversized holdall containing his 2,000 page resume.
O ff the hook again. We breathe a deep breath and look for a government health warning on the unsubtly packaged can of beer that has kept us company.
No matter how much we try to resist by crossing our legs and convince ourselves that our bladder is still as strong as it was 15 years ago, we have got to go.
Unfortunately, we didn’t allow for the fact that the smallest room is at the other end o f the train. S till, can’t wait any longer.
Not that we mind walking through graveyards after dark, it’s not that we are scared or anything, it ’s just that we’d rather be snugly safe in front of the fire and TV. And sipping our hot chocolate...wouldn’t we?
Anyway, we traipse off to the back of the train, oblivious of the ravens perched on unoccupied seat backs and the bats hanging upside down from the luggage rack.
We enter the next carriage and see the row of heads bobbing up and down in time with the train movement.
Boing! Suddenly one o f the heads bobs up and bounces off of the luggage rack! Then another, and another.
Pandemonium breaks out as headless bodies scrabble around the carriage trying to get a head (groan...what an awftil pun).
We meander through the demented crowd, occasionally batting away a flying face or briefly dancing with a tormented torso.
Phew! Made it to the end. We put our hand out towards the toilet door, but it is already s lid ing open. A gasp o f air escapes and chills our face. Inside is a
dark cobweb-ridden cave.
Prehistoric drawings adorn the walls. And in the corner is the most essential
piece of furniture. A ll o f a sudden we don’t feel so desperate.
The train pulls into Matawaberdeen
station, we say thanks and goodnight to the conductor as we get off the train.
A strange mist passes over the moon
as we walk to the car park.
We look back towards our train.
It slowly melts into the gossamer mist before our eyes.
We sniff the air and shudder.
It’ s time to get out of here...last one to the car is...Owooooooooh!

The saloon business must be mighty profitable in Keyport. John H ill leased George Hankinson a saloon.
When the time came for Hankinson to take possession, Hall couldn’t deliver up the place to him. Seems as though the present tenant had another year’s lease on the saloon.
Hill had forgotten about that fact.
Hankinson brought suit against H ill for $2,000 damages, and he says this is the amount he lost through H ill’ s failure to let him have the saloon.
I f the net pro fit on a saloon in Keyport is $2,000, there must be a lot of Keyporters who have an unquenchable thirst.
The storm of last week destroyed many of the fishpounds in the bay.
The loss to the fishermen of Belford and Port M onm outh is estimated at $8,000.
The pounds of W illiam Morris Sr. and Jacob Schnore were to ta lly destroyed. A fishpound costs from $500 to $800, according to size.
The contest between Ocean and Middletown townships as to the right to assess and collect taxes from property at Highland Beach has been decided by the state board of taxation in favor of Ocean
Township.
Voters from the Sandy Hook peninsula had always voted in M iddletown
Township, and last fall the assessor of Middletown was instructed to assess the property at Highland Beach as part of Middletown township.
Ocean township declared that the property should be assessed in that tow nship and the case was carried before the state board of taxation.
Last week many of the residents of Matawan received a circular attacking Rev. C.L. Percy, pastor o f the Baptist church of that place. The circular was signed “A Lover of Peace.”
The circular was addressed to members of the Matawan Baptist church and after describing the sort o f pastor a church should have, continued at fo llows:
“We all must confess that the methods and conduct of Rev. C. L. Percy are a slight departure from the usual pastoral pursuits w h ich the average Matawan minister has been accustomed to indulge in.
“ It is a new thing to see a pastor engaged in a game of dominoes in stores
and other public places with members of his flock standing around having a side bet on the result.”
Leon Kislin, proprietor of a sporting goods store at East Front Street and Wharf Avenue, Red Bank, pleaded not guilty to charges of violating an OPA order pro
hibiting him from selling rationed shoes.
Mr. Kislin was arraigned before the honorable Judge Philip N. Foreman in United States court at Trenton
Following the arraignment, Kislin was held under bail of $1,000 to await trial.
C ir c u it C o u r t Judge Robert V. Kinkead disclosed yesterday that he has granted the borough of Keyport a new trial in an action brought against it by Mrs. Hannah Lovett, unless Mrs. Lovett agrees to accept ha lf o f the $15,000 awarded to her by a jury at Freehold.
Mrs. Lovett, a 70-year-old resident of Hazlet, employed at the Eisner plant at
Red Bank, suffered a fractured heel the n ight o f August 13, 1941, when she stepped into an open drain on Atlantic Street.
O ve r the ob jections o f a teenage protest group 15 strong, backed by several adults, the Holmdel Township Committee
last night adopted its controversial curfew ordinance.
The new measure, approved unani
mously by the full committee, forbids minors under 18 to “loiter, idle, wander, stroll, play or remain: in public areas between 10 p.m.. and 6 a.m. on weekdays and 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays if not accompanied by a parent or guardian.”
It w ill be at least four years before Monmouth County commuters board an
electrified train.
The Penn Central is set firmly against taking over the Jersey Central operation.
There’s no hope, it seems, of extending the rush hour service of the PATH trains even though the present schedule means overcrowded platforms and commuter delays.
Firemen in M iddletown fought two house fires over the weekend.
The first was on Fox Hill Road.
The second conflagration occured on Sycamore Avenue in East Keansburg.

’91 v in tag e w in e s
lo o k p ro m is in g
There’s an old saying in the wine trade about buying wine on apples and selling wine on cheese. The implication is that it’s easy to sell wine if you pair it with the right food.
Some matches are truly inspired. Such was the case at the 14th Annual Bordeaux Dinner at the Four Seasons Restaurant in New York City on April 10. A capacity crowd of about 200 people attended this elegant black tie event marking the debut
of the recently arrived 1991 vintage.The guest o f honor was Corinne
Mentzelopoulos, the charming proprietor
of Chateau Margaux. Also attending was Paul Pontallier, the estate director.
Excitement and anticipation are the watchwords at this annual event. Discriminating diners have come to expect outstanding food and flawless service at the
Four Seasons and wine lovers look forward to being among the first to taste the
Premier Grand Crus of the newest vintage entering the retail market.
This year the excitement about the vintage was undoubtedly muted because
1991 was not greeted with good reviews in early tastings in Bordeaux.
Perhaps with that in mind, the program departed from past events in that two vintages, 1991 and the very good to excellent 1983, were served for each of the five Premier Grand Crus: Chateau Lafite Rothschild, Chateau Latour, Chateau Margaux, Chateau Mouton Rothschild,
Chateau Haut Brion.
Attention was divided between getting a first impression of the 1991 ’s, seeing how the 1983’s had developed and tasting the guest of honor’s 1978 and 1961 Cha
teau Margaux.Happily, the Four Seasons rose to new
heights in providing a fabulous series of outstanding dishes that married extremely
well with the wines.A savory first course of black bass in
leeks was nicely accented by the austere
elegance of a Pavilion Blanc du Chateau Margaux 1986 made exclusively of sauvi- gnon blanc. The match set the stage for what was to become a wonderful interplay
of flavors with each course.In introducing the 1991 ’s, cable TV
food personality David Rosengarten aptly
called it “a meteorologically challenged
vintage.”Temperatures dipped to about 16
degrees below freezing in April, August had tropical heat and torrential rains hit in late September. According to Paul Pon
tallier, “The 1991, like no other vintage, shows the commitment of the producers to quality.”
In an inspired pairing, the 1991 ’ s were served with a flavorful truffle risotto cake with pigeon, quail and duck. The texture of the dish and blending of the compo
nents enhanced each wine without a discordant note for any of them. I found it hard to choose between the rich cassis flavors of the Margaux and the spicy fruit of
the Haut Brion.Clearly the 1991 ’s will be early matur
ing wines to enjoy by the turn of the century, and lower prices provide buying opportunities.
The 1983’s that followed were classically matched with an herb roasted filet of lamb accented with olives and red and
yellow peppers. My favorites this time were the elegant Margaux and the Latour which seems to be showing much more
fruit as it ages.Next came a cheese course that provid
ed the perfect complement to the robust
1978 Margaux and the superb, silky, richly flavored 1961 Margaux.
The com bination o f a macadam ia chocolate cake and Chateau Rieussec 1985 was too tempting to pass up for dessert. No wonder the dinner is a sellout
each year. Attendees Jim and Mary Dee Filip, of Doris and Ed’s restaurant, Highlands, and Alan and Judy Robbins, Freehold, echoed my sentiments.

affe with a double F is not a mistake, nor is the Caffe Colandrea,
although there were some.
The recently opened Italian ristorante
in the Bear Brook Commons Shopping
Center at Routes 79 and 520 in Marlboro,
is a pleasant surprise to both the eye and
the palate.
Walking through the pizza parlor, one
is immediately surprised to find a very
nicely appointed restaurant, complete with stylized service personnel, in a back room.
Pink, white and teal table coverings, gray tile, and lots of sparkling-clean mir
rors accent the small dining area.
The menu was written in Italian, which
caused a. few mix-ups during the course of
the evening, but we were told the menu
would be changed soon.
It included capellini puttanesca, which
initially was served as primavera; chicken
Florentine, which more closely resembled
marsala; and what I believed were veal filets — only because they were listed under veal — but actually were beef filets. But some were very good misunderstand
ings.
For appetizers, we selected an artichoke francese ($4.95), prosciutto and
melon ($6.25), and mozzarella en carrozza
($5.25).
The four artichokes were encased in a
very light batter and served with a lemon
sauce that was delightful. The crisp mozzarella en carrozza was expertly fried, not
greasy on the lips, and enhanced by a
sweet marinara sauce. The melon — adequate for this time of year — and prosciutto — slightly briny — was nicely presented.
A choice of salad or pasta is served
with each entree. The tossed salad with
house dressing was above satisfactory in content and flavor.
The capellini puttanesca ($6.95) arrived as a primavera, but was cheerfully
returned for the correct item.
The pasta was al dente, and although
the sauce was savory, with lots of olives,
capers and tomatoes, its thin texture ran
off the pasta and puddled on the bottom of the plate. This was tasty for dipping the
wonderful crusty bread accompanying the meal, but not so for the pasta.
A shrimp oreganato entree ($10.95) was seriously meritorious. Six beautifully
prepared shrimp topped with a delicious
blending of garlic, bread crumbs and
spices were all you could desire. A mussel
and clam, prepared in the same manner,
guarded the shrimp ... nice touch!
Chicken Florentine ($9.50), usually
prepared with a cream sauce, arrived with
a brown mushroom sauce and fresh
spinach. It looked better than what we or
dered so we kept it, disregarding the wait
ress’s justification that this is the way the
kitchen is preparing it tonight.
The sauce had a hint of marsala wine
that greatly increased the value of the two
finely sauteed chicken breasts. A side of
ziti was served with a tomato sauce that

was far better than the one on the put
tanesca.
Medallions fileto a la Barola ($10.50) was different from what the description
led us to believe, but it was impressive. The twin filets were prepared perfectly rare with a fine Barola and mushroom
sauce coating. Served along with the filets
and the chicken were sauteed new pota
toes.
Dessert offerings from the cart in
cluded a homemade cheese cake ($2.25)
that was light and palatable, and an eclair cake ($2) that wasn’t.
Service was polite and friendly, although the terms “hon,” “honey” and “sweetie” should be reserved for immedi
ate family members and should not be
used by servers.
W e re tu rned ano the r evening to
check out the new menu, which, sure enough, had changed drastically, and for
the better (except for the filets Barola,
which should be brought back).
Simple English explanations for the
original Italian delicacies, and consider
ably less cumbersome selections, were immediately apparent.
Even though we were rushed through our salad to be served an appetizer, the
service was improved and sans slang.
A shrimp soup special ($4.95) was a dire concoction of krill- like shrimp, onions, celery, carrots and tomatoes, and a ditale pasta in a base that echoed fish but
tasted like chicken.
Sauteed scallops with garlic and tomatoes over spaghetti ($13.95) was light and
delectable, as was an eggplant parmigiana ($7.95) served with a side of fusilli in
tomato sauce.
Other than a few faults during our ini
tial visit, Caffe Colandrea does bring a
breath of freshness to Marlboro.
The food is good, the kitchen basically
knows how to prepare it, the servers will
learn how to serve it, and the complete
package is of excellent value.

When people refer to Allentown as “old-fashioned” , they mean it in a most complimentary
manner. For this charming, historic comm unity in the southwestern part o f
Monmouth County is a reminder of times gone by.
Two hundred and twenty of its homes and buildings have the distinction of being on the Natural Historic Register. Within the designated “Historic District” there are homes built prior to 1860 and some that date to the early 18th century.
Settled in 1706 after Nathan A llen bu ilt a grist m ill on Doctor’ s Creek, Allentown was like most country villages in colonial days. When Allen purchased
638 acres, the town became known as A lle n ’ s Town and began to develop
around its mills and along a major north- south route known as Lower Road.
As the farms in the area grew, so did the need for blacksmith shops, chair mak
ers, seamstresses, carriage makers, wheel wrights and shoemakers. By the end of the 18th century, there were at least 24 commercial enterprises within the boundaries
of Allentown.Lower Road became York Road and
today it is Main Street. York Road was the main road across New Jersey, connecting the Amboys with Burlington. An important crossroads town in the 18th century, Allentown became a busy stage stop and as many as four taverns or inns welcomed the travelers. One inn, the Allentown Hotel, still exists today on Main Street.
In the 19th century, the Presbyterian Church was one of the stops on the underground railway. Former slaves would find
m;\i. i:s ivn
refuge in the church basement on their travels north to freedom.
A llen tow n has p roduced United States congressmen, governors and the first Chief Justice of New Jersey. Its current population is approximately 1,860; its area covers .60 square miles and is accessible to 1-95, and Routes 539, 526, and
524. There are five churches and a library. Municipal services include a local police department, a volunteer fire department, a
first aid squad and municipal water and sewerage departments.
Part of the Upper Freehold Regional School District, Allentown has an elementary school (K-8) and a high school. Sixty-seven percent of Allentown’s high
school graduates continue their education by attending college.
Residents and the business community appreciate Allentown’s rich history while the community strives to offer the best in modem community living.

O ne of the most useful innovations in recent years in the financial services
industry is the central asset account. This is a single account at a brokerage firm that lets you write checks, shop with a credit card or debit card, borrow money, invest in a wide range of securities, and manage your financial affairs more efficiently and profitably. The industry developed this type of account to help individuals to simplify and control their assets.
One of the most attractive features of these accounts is that they “sweep” uninvested cash into your account (such as recently distributed dividends, interest payments and proceeds of securities sales) into an interest-bearing money market fund to keep all of your money working. Whether the sweep occurs daily or weekly depends on each firm’s rules for its central asset accounts, as does the amount that is swept. A variety of taxable and non-tax- able money market accounts is available.
A central asset account also simplifies the management of your money. If, for example, you want to take money out of a money market account to buy a stock, all it takes is one phone call to your financial advisor. If you have several different accounts with different institutions, transferring funds would require several phone calls and transactions, as well as considerable paperwork to monitor.
Most central asset accounts provide comprehensive monthly statements with a wealth of information about your investment portfolio, including your liquid as
sets, a complete listing of your securities positions, the current market value and yields on your investments, a detailed summary of all account transactions (including checking and credit/debit card activity) and a reminder of your open orders for securities transactions.
Central asset accounts require initial investments of $5,000 to $25,000, in any combination of cash and securities. Fees range from $25 to $150 a year, although the fee often can be more than offset by the earnings.
If you are not sure whether you qualify for a central asset account, do some calculating. Add up the amounts you have in checking and savings accounts, money market funds, other mutual funds and brokerage accounts at various firms. You may find that you have sufficient assets if you pool them into one account. If you do, you also may discover that a central asset account can simplify your life while improving your bottom line.

Jill Bodino w ill be continuing her softball career as a member of the Elon College Fightin’ Christians next year. The North Carolina school has been playing fast-pitch softball for only five years, but made post-season play in their first year of National Collegiate Athletic Association eligibility.

S t. John Vianney High School’s Jill Bodino has signed a national letter
| of intent to play softball at Elon ege in North Carolina. The Lancers’
shortstop accepted the scholarship offer
last week.“I really loved it when I went to visit
the school,” said Bodino. “The school is beautiful and I think it will be a good en
vironment for me. Probably the hardest thing for me is that it’s not close to
home, but I know some people who are going there.
“I watched one of their games and I liked the way they played. They appear
to be the type of team I ’m geared to. They have some big-time hitters and
although I don’t consider myself in that class, I feel I can fit right in by doing the things that I do best. They like to run and
bunt which really suits me.”Last year, Bodino hit .340 as the
Lancers’ leadoff hitter with 20 walks, 20
runs scored and was 11-12 in the stolen base department. So far, with the team off to a 4-0 start for the 1994 season, the senior is off to a .400 start at the plate.
Lancers’ coach Gary Thomson knows Bodino will be missed next season.
“Jill is a real leader for the team,” said Thomson. “She makes things happen offensively and she’s the glue that
holds the infield together. She’ really solid defensively. But I think her biggest attribute is the personality that she brings onto the field. She has a great

In what Coach Mary Lowe terms a rebuilding season, the Raritan High School girls soccer team got off to a 2-1 start in the 1994 campaign. The Rockets beat Monmouth Regional and Red Bank Regional handily before losing to a powerful Wall squad 3-1.
“I would consider this a rebuilding year for us,” said Lowe. “We graduated eight seniors from last year’s squad. We have five seniors this year but only three with extensive varsity experience. We do have some juniors who played last year so we have some players back but they’re young and not really seasoned on the varsity level.
“We’re looking to have a winning season. We’re trying to keep our goals realis-
spirit that lifts the rest of the team.”F igh tin ’ Christians coach Sue
Leonard said she was really excited to get a player like Bodino.
“We’re really excited about her,” said Leonard. “Anytime we can get a quality player we get really excited. She’s definitely going to make us a stronger team. She’s going to make us a little quicker and she’s a good fundamental softball player who does all the little things well that it takes to make a team go.
“We get a lot of good athletes here at Elon College. But I go on a gut feeling on what I think about the athletes and I can tell right away if they are competitive and they are winners and I definitely got that feeling with Jill. As soon as I met her, it didn’t take me long to know that this is a young lady who is going to play hard and make this a better team.”
W hile B od ino ’s play has always
stood out, it has been her constant upbeat disposition and her ever-present smile that has made her the standout athlete she is.
“That’ s a definite bonus,” said Leonard. “We all love kids like that because it makes our job as coaches a lot easier — not only when they are talented but when they have a good time doing it because it definitely becomes contagious and rubs off on the other players.”
Leonard explained that the softball
program at Elon College is relatively new.
The school has only played fast-pitch for the past five years; before that they played slow-pitch.
She said North Caro lina’ s high schools play slow-pitch softball which makes it difficult for local players to
compete on the intercollegiate level where quality, hard-throwing pitchers dominate the sport and, because of that, a lot of players are recruited from out-ofstate.
This is the first season Elon College’s
softball team is competing in the NCAA. They had been dual affiliates the last three years.
The NCAA does not permit teams to play in the post-season for the first two years of membership.
For that reason, Leonard said, they
remained a dual affiliate in order to have an avenue for post-season play.
The program has already experienced success. Last year the Fightin’ Christians were 28-7-1 and nationally ranked and in 1992 they were 37-10 while winning the South Atlantic Conference Tournament the last two years. So far this season they
(Photo by Rich Schultz)
are 29-15.“We lost a pitcher after last season
who was fourth in the nation in ERA with a 0.60 and was fourth in the nation
in strikeouts, a girl who led the nation in triples, and then two real good infielders,” Leonard said.
Those departures have left Leonard with a young team and a reliance on a single pitcher.
“We’re a little down this year from where we’ve been the last couple of seasons, but with quality recruits like Jill, we expect to be right back on top again
next season,” said Leonard.
r e b u i ldStacey Vamvas, freshman fullback Jennifer Bauer, freshman halfback Tara Fitzgerald and freshman midfielder Rachel Santa Maria.
“I ’m happy with what we’ve done so far,” said Lowe. “But I think that when we get into the big games, that’s where our lack of experience and our youth comes through. The intensity level has to be high all the time for this team to be successful.
“Wall was the first test for us. They dominated the first half and took a two- goal lead. But we actually dominated the second half when we each scored one goal. So they have to know that they can compete with the good teams as long as they keep themselves in the game.”
The Rockets are scheduled to play two Shore Conference B North rivals this week. Long Branch and Matawan.
w in n in g a s t h e ytic. I think we can be a little better than .500 and I’m hoping we can prove to be even better than that. We have to take it one game at a time.”
The Rockets are led by senior co-captain Jaime Medric who has earned a soccer scholarship to Georgian Court College in Lakewood. Medric, a talented defensive player, has been moved to center forward to take advantage of her scoring ability. She has scored in every game so far, including a hat trick (three goals) against Monmouth Regional.
“Ja ime has excellent skills,” said Lowe. “She has a lot of high level soccer experience. She is a member of the state team and she plays with a very talented traveling team out of Middletown. She is an all-around player. She played defense the last three years and we would shoot her through the fullback and use her al
most as a secret play because she was always able to come up with a goal. She’s got the skills for every position. Even now, as a forward, we get a lot of defense out of her.”
The Rockets’ attack also is guided by junior center halfback Jen Fitzgerald, a three-year starter, and senior fullback and co-captain Darrah Mulligan.
The rest of the squad includes senior forward Carisa Santiago, senior fullback Keri-Lyn Schweitzer (returning after sitting out last year with an injury), senior fullback/halfback Cathy Sellitto, junior fullback Cheri Apruzzi, junior fu llback/halfback Cathryn Esposito, junior sweeper Gina Gavini, junior forward Jill Schweitzer, sophomore midfielder Deniece Cobb, sophomore goalkeeper Danyelle McManus, sophomore fullback Christina Sellitto, sophomore goalkeeper

MIDDLETOWN
The Middletown Tornadoes opened the Spring soccer season by sweeping the Brick Eagles, 4-0, and the Jackson Vies Strikers, 3-0, in weekend action. The Tornadoes, an under 13
girls traveling squad, leaped into first place with a 2-0 record in Monmouth Ocean Soccer Association league action. In the opening victory over Brick, left wing Alison Wheeler converted a crossing pass from Denise Kotun into a goal that broke open a scoreless deadlock just before halftime. A staunch defense, led by fullbacks Blair Buchanan, Dana Pagano and Erika Veth controlled the forwards of the Eagles throughout the game. Halfback Heather Luciani scored the team’s next two goals. Kotun added an insurance goal on a 10 yard blast after taking advantage of a pinpoint pass from center halfback Allison Faulkner. The 3-0 victory over the Jackson Vies Strikers featured a stifling defense led by Kathleen Misciagna, Jen DeRosa, Lauren Catania, Jessica Brown and Sarah Strabel. Also powering win were forwards Aja Kosanke and Gina D’Alessio, who continually stretched the Jackson defenders. Wing Kelly Kumm fed Allsion Faulkner, who angled in a9 yard shot midway through the first half. Center forward Patty Storch put the game out of reach late in the second half when she scored two goals, with the assists going to Faulkner and Strabel. Goalkeeper Michelle DePolo was outstanding in the nets in both wins, making several saves and keeping the opponents off balance with her long punts. The win was the eighth straight over two seasons, each of which has been by a shutout with DePolo minding the goal. The Tornadoes are sponsored by Redheads Restaurant, Middletown.
Middletown Vipers, an under 10 boys soccer team, defeated the Jackson Vies 1-0 in their second game of the season. Captains Justin Clarke, Matt Dolansky and Kurt Hostnik led the Vipers against a very physical Jackson team playing on slippery field conditions. The Vipers scored quickly in the first half with a superb crossing pass from right halfback Andrew Veth. Left forward Alex Zolan angled the pass into the net comer for the first and only strike of the game. The defensive line of Andrew Kooker, Kolansky, Tripp Jarden, Matt Woolston, and Clarke limited shots on goal. Goalie Hostnik posted his first shutout of the spring season. Captains Michael Castagno, Marc Cino, and Hostnik led the Viper team through a tough 1-0 loss against the Lacey Crossfire team. The Vipers’ midfield of David Szanto, Joe Lucarelli, and Dolansky did a good job of controlling the ball for much of the game. In the second half, the Lacey team scored a goal on a penalty shot to clinch the win. Other team members include Chris Lancos, Javier Domingo, Chris Falanga, and Marc Sim. The Viper MOSA record is 1-1-0. The team next plays the Ocean Stingrays. The Vipers are coached by Frank Lofton and assisted by Stephen Lancos.
The Middletown Dynamites, coached by Ben Curci played their first game away at Manalapan. The Dynamites came off a cham
pionship sweep of the Middletown Indoor Soccer Tournament. Playing in the game was Nicole Boeamount, Jean Maire Blauvelt, Courtney Bongiolatti, Carly Calvert, Jackie Carrigg, Andera Evringham, Tarra Froehlich, Amanda Herderson, Kristin Hirt, Lindsay Jarusiewicz, Michelle Kane, Debbie Kotun, Lauren Krzan, Patricia Misciagna, Stephanie Pallone, Kristen Petretta, Emma Richdale, and Erin Salgado. The game, played in a hard rain, was a disappointment to the Dynamites who came away with a 2-0 loss.

Since 1988 Special Projects for Special Children, Inc. (SPSC), a non-profit organization in Old Bridge, has been dedicated to help subsidize activities for individuals with disabilities, including Camp R.O.B.I.N. (Recreation in Old Bridge for those In Need), a project with the ultimate goal of building a recreational facility for our area’s special needs families.
Old Bridge Township Department of Parks, Recreation and Social Services has agreed to pay for the facility if SPSC, Inc. can raise the initial $50,000. To date the organization is halfway to its goal.

The run will begin at the Old Bridge Municipal Complex located at the corner of Route 516 and Cottrell Road. The course is a United States Amateur Track Federation sanctioned and certified therefore, qualifies as a United States Track and Field Grand Prix Event.
The pre-registration entry fee of $10.00 ($12.00 after May 10) includes race fees, t-shirts and awards ceremony.
The first three men and women finishers will receive individual trophies. Age group trophies for the first three women and men in 12 different age catagories also will be awarded.
