Candidates discuss borough’s beaches
By Chris Sheldon
The Nov. 2 election in
Lavallette is quickly approaching
and this year in Lavallette the
election will see two incumbent
Republicans running unopposed
for two spots on the borough
council, as well as a contested
race for the mayor’s seat.
Incumbent Republican Mayor
Walter LaCicero will face off
against Democratic mayoral candidate and former councilwoman
Britta Wenzel.
Incumbent Republican councilmen Michael Stogdill and
Robert Lamb are running,
uncontested, for the two open
seats on Lavallette Borough
Council.
There are no Democratic candidates running for council this
year.
This week, the candidates
were asked to describe their feelings on one of the borough’s
most precious resources, its
beaches.
Councilman Stogdill said calling Lavallette’s beaches good
would be an understatement.
“Lavallette had a great beach
2010
year with total revenue of
$828,454,” Councilman Stogdill
said. “Much of the reason for this
is the dedicated beach employees
who strongly enforce our beach
badge laws. Over the past few
seasons the beach badge patrol
has enacted policies that have
helped enforcement, therefore
helping increase revenues.”
He said there have been problems with people entering the
beach in Ortley Beach,
Lavallette’s neighboring town,
and coming to Lavallette’s
beaches, bypassing the badge
checker at the beach entrance.
“After discussing the situation
we decided that moving checkers
to those beaches to sweep
through the guests would help
solve the problem — and it did,”
Councilman Stogdill said. “This
is the kind of adapting that has
kept our beach revenue solid.”
Councilman Stogdill said one
thing he would not do to change
the beaches would be “relinquishing control of our beach to
the state as was advocated by
mayoral candidate Britta Wenzel
during her 2007 campaign for
state senate.”
“Could you imagine what our
beach would look like if the state
were running it,” Councilman
Stogdill asked. “Picture state
highway 35 North this past winter after the snow storms and
how well they were plowed —
not quite curb to curb, not even
close. Now picture our local side
streets after those same storms;
curb to curb with the exception
of a few cars still parked on the
side streets. Now think about
how much the state would
charge you to get on the beach.
Do you think $35 for a seasonal
badge would help solve their
budget woes, I don’t.”
Councilman Stogdill said
another concern he has is the
declining attendance at the borough’s Barnegat Bay beaches.
“Much of the cause they have
said is the jellyfish,” Councilman
Stogdill said. “I have been to our
bay beaches and have seen the
jellyfish bobbing about the
water. Some have suggested a
netting around the swimming
area as Seaside Park has.”
He said this is an idea which
is worth exploring.
“My fear is that the number of
jellyfish we have as compared to
Seaside Park may be too great
for the netting to be effective,”
Councilman Stogdill said. “This
remains, however, a priority
going into next summer season.”
Mayor LaCicero said the borough’s beaches are “some of the
best in the state.”
“The fees that the borough
charges for beach use are also
very reasonable and in line with
what other area beaches charge,
and this year, our beaches generated over $800,000 in revenue,
an all-time record,” Mayor
LaCicero said.
The mayor credited enforcement of beach badge regulations
for the large amount of revenue
which has been generated.
“Through careful analysis of
sales of daily badges on the basis
of day of the week, date and
location, we have been able to
deploy our manpower in the
most cost-effective manner,”
Mayor LaCicero said.
Mayor LaCicero agreed with
Councilman Stogdill and pointed out that Mrs. Wenzel campaigned for state control of the
borough’s beaches.
“One need only look at programs run by the State of New
Jersey to get an idea of the kind
of management we could expect
from Trenton bureaucrats,”
Mayor LaCicero said.
The mayor pointed out that
while the ocean beaches are in
good health, “our bay beaches are
not fairing as well.”
“The beaches themselves are
in good shape and are maintained as well as the ocean
beaches, but the quality of the
water in Barnegat Bay is of great
concern,” the mayor said. “We
have seen a dramatic increase in
the population of sea nettles, a
jellyfish with a nasty sting. These
creatures are so abundant that it
is virtually guaranteed that anyone swimming in the bay will be
stung multiple times. Many scientific observers of the bay
attribute this population explosion to eutrification of the bay
— the excess volume of dissolved nitrogen in the water.
Mayor LaCicero said he “fully
supports” legislation which could
help control the amount of
nitrogen which reaches the bay.
“Additionally, the borough
council unanimously voted to
discontinue the use of nitrogenbased fertilizers several years ago
and I annually appoint members
to the Lavallette Environmental
Committee and seek the committee’s guidance in resolving
issues that may be contributing
to the bay’s problems,” Mayor
LaCicero said. “Until a solution
to the sea nettle problem is discovered, it may be time to consider closing one of our bay
beaches. The resource is clearly
underutilized and the costs
associated with providing lifeguards and badge checkers may
not be justified. This is an idea
that will be more fully explored
during the next budget cycle.
Mrs.
Wenzel
called
Lavallette’s beaches “some of the
best in the state” and “our greatest community asset and the
driving force behind our property values.”
Mrs. Wenzel said maintaining the ocean and bay beaches,
the beach entrance ways, boardwalk and dunes is “an enormous
task.”
“It is an operation that effects
all borough departments and
their budgets,” Mrs. Wenzel
said. “Careful attention must be
given to the costs associated
with operating the beaches.”
She said the borough should
“seriously consider” extending
the beach badge season.
“Many of our surrounding
communities are opening their
beaches for Memorial Day
weekend and experiencing
increased revenues and control
of pre-season beach use,” Mrs.
Wenzel said.
Mrs. Wenzel said, if elected,
she would address “ongoing
management issues on the
beach,” such as “complaints of
excessive food, restaurant deliveries, alcohol, poor enforcement
of beach rules and little to no
beach badge checking.”
“These are serious complaints
and they must be met with serious responses,” Mrs. Wenzel
said. “The beach entranceways,
boardwalk and dunes will also
continue to need attention. I
would like to see the borough
continue to maintain the boardwalk, protecting our investment,
working with the DEP on our
permits for the dunes and ensuring handicapped accessibility.”
She said the bay beaches
“need our help” and the bay is in
“dire need of attention.”
“The current eutrophic conditions have allowed for massive
numbers of stinging nettles or
jelly fish to reproduce and make
it their home. This limits the use
of our children’s beaches and
other recreational uses of the
bay. The borough must work
with homeowners, local, county,
state and federal officials to
immediately reduce the amount
of excess nitrogen or lawn fertilizers entering the bay.”
Mrs. Wenzel said the borough has had “the good fortune
of having mayors that were outspoken on shore protection and
environmental issues in the
past.”
“I would like to continue that
tradition by using the best
management practices on all
borough properties for pest
control and fertilizer use,
actively educate our residents
and visitors about their behaviors and the potential affects on
our environment, as well as
being spokesperson on issues
that are important to our quality of life and the economy that
relies on it,” Mrs. Wenzel said.
Councilman Lamb did not
return several phone calls seeking comment this week.

not to frighten any children,”
she said with a laugh.
Ms. Lane said she always gets
into the Halloween spirit and
her house is a popular destination for trick-or-treaters.
“I used to be a crossing guard
in Lavallette, so I got to know a
lot of children, who would then
come to my house on
Halloween for candy apples. I
make over 200,” Ms. Lane said.
“Those children are now married and bring their own children trick-or-treating.”
Ms. Lane said her house is
decorated for Halloween and all

Autumn fundraiser, collection to benefit Beach AWC
Santoro’s Pizzeria, located at
136 Ocean Ave. in Point
Pleasant Beach, is now collecting cat food for the Animal
Welfare Committee [AWC].
Santoro’s opened its doors in
August and offers several signature pizzas, plus gourmet
sandwiches, spinach pie, and a
soup of the day.
Although Santoro’s has only
been in Point Pleasant Beach
for a short time, the owners
wished to contribute to the
community and have reached
out to a local charity.
The AWC has placed a collection bin at Santoro’s, and
anyone wanting to donate cat
food can do so during the
pizzeria’s normal hours of
operation.
The AWC is grateful to
Santoro’s for its kindness, and
to all those who help the nonprofit continue its work.
Next month, the AWC of
Point Pleasant Beach is holding its annual autumn
fundraiser and gift auction at
the Lobster Shanty, 82
Channel Drive, Point Pleasant
Beach.
The fundraiser is planned
for Sunday, Nov. 14, from 6 to
10 p.m.
The good-time country
band, Beaver Dam Creek, will
supply the music.
There will be a hot buffet
and sundae bar, with door
prizes and a 50/50 raffle.
Tickets are $40, each. For
tickets, call Camille Renner at
908-783-7865, or Karen at
732-892-3757.
Proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit the AWC’s
award-winning trap, neuter
and return [TNR] program.
Since the forming of the
AWC in 2008, volunteers have
trapped, neutered, vaccinated
and returned approximately
300 feral cats.
The AWC has also successfully placed many kittens in
their forever homes. The
AWC operates solely on donations and fundraising efforts.
The
annual
autumn
fundraiser and gift auction is
the AWC’s biggest event of
the year. Last year’s event
attracted close to 180 people,
and the committee is hoping
and counting on this year’s
event being just as successful.
Monetary donations and
donations of cat food, litter,
etc. are always welcome. If
interested in adopting a kitten,
please contact Lisa at 732773-0322.

“TOP DOCTORS of NEW YORK”
for 11 YEARS
20+ Years of New York Experience
Mayoral recall election set for Nov. 2
— FROM PAGE 1 —
to recall Mayor Barrella, he “shall
not again be subject to recall until
after having served one year of a
term calculated from the date of
the recall election.”
No matter who wins the election, he will have to run again in
November 2011 if he seeks a new,
four-year term.
The state uniform recall election
law was adopted in 1993, and was
amended again in 1995 to include
the ability to recall governors and
members of the legislature.
The sponsors of the amended
recall election law were former
Assemblyman Garabed Haytaian
[R-23], and current Congressman
Frank A. LoBiondo [R-2].
New Jersey is one of 18 states
that allows recalls.
To put a recall question on a
general election ballot in New
Jersey, those who wish to recall a
municipal official must obtain the
signatures of 25 percent of the registered voters in a municipality, and
have the recall question certified as
valid by the recall official of the
municipality.
In some states, a specific reason
for recalling the official must be
printed on the recall petition circulated to voters — but New Jersey is
not one of those states.
In New Jersey, the recall petition
document does not need to have a
reason for the recall printed on it.
One of the most famous recalls
was the the 2003 California gubernatorial recall election, which
resulted in voters replacing incumbent Democratic Gov. Gray Davis
with
Republican
Arnold
Schwarzenegger.
Mr. Davis was recalled over perceived mismanagement of the state
budget.
Mr. Davis was the second governor ever to be recalled in United
States history, the first being Lynn
Frazier, who was the governor of
North Dakota in 1921, over a dispute concerning state-owned
industries.
The Point Pleasant Beach recall
committee, which consists of Point
Pleasant Beach Democratic
Councilman Frank Rizzo, and residents Patricia McAndrew and
Stewart Fischer, did not list a reason for the recall of Mayor Barrella
on the recall petition they circulated last spring.
The amended state recall law,
states that the official to be recalled
must demonstrate a “lack of physical or mental fitness, incompetence, violation of the oath of
office, corruption, neglect of duties
or official misconduct.”
The recall committee was
required to obtain the signatures of
at least 884 registered Point
Pleasant Beach voters, which it
did, successfully.
Ocean County Superior Court
Judge Joseph Foster found that the
petition — which included more
than 1,200 signatures — contained
965 valid signatures.
Mrs. McAndrew said this week
she feels the recall committee represented “the people who signed
the petition — who simply signed
because they had their own personal reasons for feeling [the
mayor] wasn’t doing a good job.
“There was no reason cited [for
the recall on the petition form],
because there were multiple reasons,” Mrs. McAndrew said. “We
can’t afford somebody to stay in
office who isn’t a good leader.”
“Obviously, I feel that the recall
is not justified, especially, since no
reason was given for it,” Mayor
Barrella said this week.
“As was stated by former
Democratic council candidate
Lawrence Dooley in a letter to The
Ocean Star [on Sept. 10], ‘The
mayor has committed no crimes or
misdemeanors. ... He seems to be
as honest as the day is long, and as
such, should not be the subject of a
recall election.’”
Mayor Barrella pointed out that
the general election ballot contains
a statement that “There was no
Statement of the Reasons for the
Recall prepared by the Recall
Committee.”
“Thus, this is a recall where its
proponents deliberately refused to
provide written reasons for it,”
Mayor Barrella said. “The principal reasons verbally offered to the
public by petition circulators were
that I raised taxes by 26 percent in
2008, and that I wanted to put
parking meters in front of everyone’s house. Both statements were
and are false.”
Mayor Barrella said testimony
given by Surfside Motel owner and
recall petition circulator Joe Bilotti
during the five-month recall trial
to determine the validity of the
petition showed that Mr. Bilotti
did state such things while he was
circulating the recall petition.
Early in his term, Mayor
Barrella proposed a parking plan
which would have placed additional parking meters on borough
streets in order to increase revenue.
The plan, which generated some
controversy, never came to fruition.
Mayor Barrella emphasized
that, as mayor, he can “make suggestions as to what [I believe] is in
the town’s best interest,” but “the
council is free to accept or reject
those suggestions.”
In Point Pleasant Beach, the
mayor cannot vote on issues during
council meetings, unless the council is deadlocked.
Mayor Barrella again referred to
a letter to the editor that appeared
in The Ocean Star on Oct. 8. The
letter was written by members of
the Parking Revenue Committee
to discuss the evolution of the
parking plan.
“The 2008-2009 proposed
parking plan did not call for residents or property owners to pay to
park in town. ... Further, the plan
was not created by Mayor
Barrella,” the letter states. “We, the
members of the citizens’ committee, did so without direction from
the mayor. In fact, the only advice
he [Mayor Barrella] and the two
town council liaisons [one
Democrat and one Republican]
gave us was to try and develop a
new approach that would raise revenue, but in a way acceptable to
local property owners.”
Mayor Barrella said some have
objected to his perceived “lack of
leadership and an abrasive personality,” and these have, in some
cases, become reasons for the recall
election.
“Mr. Dixon was a member of
the council in 2008 and 2009, and
he surely knows that the council
worked just fine in 2008 when
Mike Loughran and Dan
DiCorcia were two of its members,” Mayor Barrella said.
The mayor was elected to office
in November 2007, and sworn in
in January 2008.
“It was only in 2009 when they
were replaced by two new members, including recall committee
member Frank Rizzo, that our
meetings became contentious. Mr.
Reid did not even live in town
when the petition was being circulated.”
“I share Mr. Dooley’s view that
‘a recall election sets a very bad and
possibly dangerous precedent,’”
Mayor Barrella said.
The mayor said others, “like former mayor Jack Pasola, also feel a
recall should not become a substitute for a general election.”
“Like Mr. Dooley, I would ask
that Point Beach’s voters not ‘open
up a Pandora’s Box,” Mayor
Barrella said. “As he stated, ‘Who
will be next?’”
When contacted this week, Mr.
Reid said he does feel the recall of
Mayor Barrella is justified.
“In New Jersey, voters may recall
an elected official for any reason, so
long as the required number of signatures are obtained on a recall
petition, and that petition is properly filed,” Mr. Reid said. “The
required signatures were obtained,
and two courts affirmed that a
recall election of Mayor Barrella
should take place.”
Mr. Reid said the recall of any
elected official indicates a “serious
problem with that official’s ability
to serve the people he [or] she represents.”
“By challenging the recall petition, Mayor Barrella spent thousands of dollars of taxpayer money
to stay in office,” Mr. Reid said.
Mayor Barrella was not represented by the borough attorney
during the recall trial. During the
second half of the trial, he decided
to represent himself.
However, former borough attorney Sean Gertner appeared in
court to represent Borough Clerk
Maryann Ellsworth, who is also
the recall election official in the
borough.
Mrs. Ellsworth was responsible
for validating signatures on the
recall petition.
“Such a decision, in itself,
demonstrates Mayor Barrella’s
desire to put his own political
agendas before those of the people
of Point Pleasant Beach,” Mr.
Reid said. “I think a large part of
Point Beach agrees with me, that
he has set the tone for much of the
political grandstanding and poor
decision-making that has characterized local politics recently.”
“I believe we also can’t afford, as
a community, to wait for change to
come — we need to start now and
move quickly,” Mr. Reid continued.
Mr. Dixon said the recall and
whether it was administered correctly “has been debated for over a
year now, and quite frankly, the citizens of this town are tired of hearing about it and want to move forward.”
“Most of our citizens have
already decided one way or the
other whether they plan to recall
Mayor Barrella or let him complete his term,” Mr. Dixon said this
week. “This recall has brought
unwanted attention and embarrassment to Point Pleasant Beach,
and has cost the taxpayers thousands of dollars in attorney fees for
the hearing and appeals.”
Mr. Dixon said he agrees with
people who say the mayor did not
do anything illegal, but said “that is
not the only criteria needed to have
the petition.”
“I cannot speak for all the reasons why so many of Point
Pleasant Beach’s residents signed
the recall petition,” he said.
“There could be many reasons,
and that is only known to the signer, but for those of you who have
attended council meetings and
read the newspapers over the last
three years, you can see why we
have reached this point,” Mr.
Dixon said.
Mr. Dixon said the current
council has been “disorganized and
An Early Bedtime Story
dysfunctional,” and said “many are
to blame.”
“The mayor’s position is supposed to bring leadership, and to
see that the town’s business gets
done in a respectful and professional manner,” Mr. Dixon said.
He added that it is also the
responsibility of the mayor “to find
common ground, for helping make
the council productive and respectful towards one another and the
public, for looking at ways to compromise, for eliminating polarization, and for making sure Point
Pleasant Beach is portrayed in a
positive way around the state,” Mr.
Dixon said.
Mr. Dixon said there has not
been
good
communication
between Mayor Barrella and the
council, and that Mayor Barrella
must shoulder some of the blame.
“While I was on council, I saw
two types of governing bodies,”
Mr. Dixon acknowledged. “One
was a productive, organized,
respectful group that took care of
the town’s business with little fanfare, and the other did their best,
but saw many distractions, because
the atmosphere in the council
chambers changed drastically.
“There is no need to go further,”
Mr. Dixon concluded. “The residents of Point Pleasant Beach have
a choice this November: They can
let this continue, or they can make
a change for the better.”

Last Wednesday, Jaeger
Lumber manager Joe Hopper
and attorney Ray Bogan came
before the Point Pleasant Beach
Planning Board to seek site plan
approval for their proposal to
build a new storage facility at
the Arnold Avenue lumber yard.
After two February snowstorms dumped nearly 3 feet of
snow on the borough in a matter
of weeks, Jaeger Lumber —
located at 411 Arnold Ave. in
Point Pleasant Beach, next to
the railroad tracks — saw one of
its storage buildings collapse
under the weight of the snow
that blanketed its roof.

The owners of Jaeger Lumber, in Point Pleasant Beach, recently received approval from the
planning board to construct a new storage building in the Arnold Avenue lumber yard, to
replace a building whose roof collapsed from excessive snow earlier this year.
Beach Fire Chief Michael
Brodeur said the roof on one of
Jaeger Lumber’s storage buildings collapsed and cracked the
structural wall.
Last Wednesday, Mr. Bogan
explained that, in addition to
the damaged storage facility, his
client would like to demolish
another building on the site and
construct one, large storage
building.
The planning board approved
Jaeger Lumber’s application —
but not before hearing some
opposition from the public.
Several residents of Central
Avenue, the east-west street one
block north of Arnold Avenue,
which runs directly behind the
lumber yard where the new storage facility will be located, came
before the board and asked for
Jaeger Lumber to alter its plans.
George Meyer, of Central
Avenue, pointed out that Jaeger
Lumber’s proposal would essentially move the damaged storage
building 61 feet from its original
location, which was almost
directly next to Mr. Meyer’s
property line.
Mr. Meyer said he felt the
move would “change the character of Central Avenue.”
“The building originally
blocked in noise [from the lumber yard], and now noise travels
unabated,” Mr. Meyer said.
“I think you need to construct
some type of sound barrier,” Mr.
Jaeger agrees to
build 12-foot
concrete wall to
provide buffer
between lumber yard,
neighbors on
Central Avenue
Meyer suggested to the lumber
company.
Mr. Bogan said moving the
lumber yard’s storage building
away from the resident’s property would “allow more light and
ventilation for the adjacent
property [Mr. Meyer’s property].”
The site plan Jaeger Lumber
submitted to the planning board
for approval did not include any
buffer between the lumber yard
and neighboring residential
properties to replace the relocated storage facility. The plan
showed only a small group of
trees and a chain link fence separating the lumber yard from
Central Avenue.
Planning board chairman
William Ammirata suggested
building a 12-foot concrete
block wall at the lumber yard
where the storage building once
stood, to help provide a sound
barrier between the properties.
At first, Mr. Bogan suggested
a compromise of an 8-foot-high
wall, made from wooden boards,
which he said would provide
better sound absorption.
However, the planning board
members agreed that a concrete
wall would be better.
Board member William
Knapp said a “nicely decorated
wall would make the project
better.”
Board member Tom Migut
noted that he liked the lumber
yard’s application, but “some
measure of soundproofing is the
final compromise.”
Mr. Bogan agreed and said a
concrete block wall no higher
than 12 feet would be a good
compromise between his client
and neighboring residents.
The planning board voted 51 to approve Jaeger Lumber’s
site plan, with board member
Elaine Koscinski casting the
lone dissenting vote.
“I’m uncomfortable with the
whole
application,”
Ms.
Koscinski said. “I think the [new
storage] building is too big for
the area, and I’m concerned with
the noise.”
At the next planning board
meeting, before memorializing
the board’s decision to approve
the application, Jaeger Lumber
is required to appear before the
board, so planning board members can review and approve its
revised site plan, with the 12foot wall included.

By Chris Sheldon
Council’s decision to reduce the
local hotel motel/tax earlier this
year became an unpopular
choice with several residents,
who voiced their displeasure
during council meetings.
Mayor Vincent Barrella actually vetoed the reduction of the
tax, only to have his veto overridden by the council.
In addition to the 7-percent
state sales tax, customers who
stay at a Point Pleasant Beach
hotel or motel are assessed a 5percent state hotel/motel tax, as
well as a local 3-percent
hotel/motel tax the borough
added beginning in 2003.
Earlier this year, the Point
Pleasant Beach Council voted to
lower the local tax to 1.5-percent. The move was unexpected
and questioned, as no hotel or
motel owners had sought a
reduction in the tax, nor had
they complained about losing
customers due to the tax, publicly, or at any council meeting.
Of the three candidates running for two open seats on the
Point Pleasant Beach council in
this year’s election, only
Republican
Councilwoman
Kristine Tooker voted on the
measure, voting not to lower the
hotel/motel tax.
Joellen M. Arrabito is the
other Republican running in
this year’s election.
Ms. Arrabito replaced sitting
Councilman Ray Cervino in the
running for one of the two
council seats, after he removed
his name from consideration last
month.
Until he dropped out of the
race, Councilman Cervino was
seeking re-election to his second
council
term
alongside
Councilwoman Tooker.
Councilman Cervino will
remain on council until his term
expires on Dec. 31.
Democrats Mike Corbally
and John Morrongiello ran
uncontested in their party’s primary, and now will be seeking
the support of the voters on
Nov. 2.
All four candidates were
asked this week about their
thoughts on the reduction of the
hotel/motel tax.
Councilwoman Tooker, 45, of
Seymour Avenue, said she felt
cutting the tax was not a good
idea for the borough at this
time.
“With a budget crisis such as
we are experiencing, why would
we cut our only allowable local
option tax?” Councilwoman
Tooker said. “Hotels in most
other states have local occupancy taxes and I don’t think it
deters people from staying in
them. Tourists that come to
Point Pleasant Beach are not
going to choose Seaside
[Heights] instead because there
is no tax there.
“The tax is unfair in that it
targets only a small group of
business owners,” she said.“I
would like to see it reduced
someday if we can get something to replace it — such as a
tax on seasonal rentals which
have an unfair advantage over
our hotels.”
“However, I would have never
considered reducing it at this
time,” Councilwoman Tooker
said.
She added there were unsuccessful attempts to revive the
Tourism Advisory Committee
several years ago.
“I would still like to see it succeed, especially in coming up
with a comprehensive plan to
market all of the businesses in
Point
Pleasant
Beach,”
Councilwoman Tooker said.
“We need more enticement to
bring people here to stay, shop
and dine as well as visit our
boardwalk
and
beaches,”
Councilwoman Tooker said.
Councilwoman
Tooker’s
Republican counterpart, Ms.
Arrabito, has a different view on
the hotel/motel tax.
“This tax was imposed several
years ago, and consists of 15 percent with only 3 percent going
to the Beach, the rest goes to the
state,” Ms. Arrabito said. “I want
2010
to remind people that these
[hotel and motel owners] pay
property taxes and a 7 percent
sales tax [included in the 15 percent figure cited above] so that
is a heavy burden on these businesses.”
Ms. Arrabito describes herself
as a fiscal conservative, and says
that lends to her view of the
hotel/motel tax.
“If we continue to justify a tax
just because of our municipal
budget needs without addressing the real elephant in the
room, the rising costs of municipal expenses, we’re being irresponsible,” she said. “By forcing
the minority of our taxpayers to
shoulder the burden in this very
difficult economy, we run the
risk of jeopardizing the success
of these businesses and start a
domino effect which would
crush our downtown mom and
pop businesses and the vitality
of our town.”
Ms. Arrabito said, if elected,
she would only be able to make
“common sense decisions, once
we see the actual consequences
of this repeal.”
“Most residents don’t realize
that the full 3 percent was collected all summer long,” she
said. “The reduction to 1.5 percent took place on Oct. 1, so
none of us will know the full
results until next summer.”
Mr. Morrongiello said he will
“never be in favor of additional
taxes levied against our residents.”
“But let me make another
thing clear, the hotel/motel tax
is a fee which is paid from those
out of town, and puts monies
into our budget that helps to
keep our tax rate stable,” Mr.
Morrongiello said. “With that
in mind, I totally oppose what
the council did in turning back
1.5 percent of our 3 percent levy
on hotel/motel customers. This
money we rejected, calculated at
$125,000, is being directly taken
from our pockets and we, the
taxpayers, are forced to make up
this difference.
“That is unconscionable,” Mr.
Morrongiello
continued.
“Especially in these hard economic times where furloughs of
borough employees and a cut
back in our police presence are
the direct result of this horrific
move by the Council.”
Mr.
Morrongiello
said
Amethyst Beach Motel owner,
John Fernicola has stated that
the tax “was not a detriment to
people renting his rooms.
“The bad economy has created more day trippers, but he’s
augmented his business through
advertising,” Mr. Morrongiello
said. “Moreover, we all know
when we book a hotel/motel
room, that there are additional
fees about which we know nothing. But if we want to stay at a
certain location, we understand
we’ll pay more than we initially
thought.”
Mr. Morrongiello said he is
“totally committed” to reviving
the full 3 percent hotel/motel
tax if he is elected.
“This is the only tax we can
levy that goes directly into our
tax coffers,” he said. “We need
to start thinking about our residents first, and what they are
saying. The current governing
body has apparently decided our
residents' views are inconsequential.”
Mr. Morrongiello’s running
mate, Mike Corbally, said Point
Pleasant Beach imposed the 3
percent tax in 2004 along with
Spring Lake, Cape May, Red
Bank, Wall, Colts Neck, Brick
and about 100 other municipalities.
“I agree with the municipalities that collect the local fee by

“What’s really disappointing
is that I’m not getting simple
answers to simple questions out
of
the
Ocean
County
Courthouse,” Mayor Barrella
added yesterday.
The mayor has said Point
Pleasant Borough Council
President Susan Rogers was
actually the one who called the
meeting, and presented evidence to back up his claim.
At an August council meeting, Ms. Sargent spoke about
her increased workload because
of the Interlocal Services
Agreement for Municipal
Court Services between Point
Pleasant Beach and Point
Pleasant Borough.
Councilwoman Rogers has
said she was part of the group of
council members, both borough
attorneys and Point Pleasant
Business Administrator Dave
Maffei, who met with Ocean
Vicinage Municipal Division
Manager and Administrative
Office of the Courts Director
Lilia Lopez.
The meeting took place in
Toms River on Aug. 24.
At the meeting, the group
explored the issues raised by
Ms. Sargent at the council
meeting. Namely, that the
shared courts agreement has
resulted in her increased workload.
Mayor Barrella said he has
confirmed that Councilwoman
Rogers held the meeting.
The mayor said he has spoken with Ms. Lopez and
Richard Prifold, who is the
Trial Court Administrator of
the AOC, regarding the claim
that the AOC called the meeting.
Mayor
Barrella
has
explained that he met met with
Mr. Prifold and Ms. Lopez,
and asked them who called the
meeting. They informed him
that the request came from
Ms. Rogers.
The mayor said he also
made an Open Public Records
Act [OPRA] request to see all
correspondence between Point
Pleasant Borough and Ms.
Lopez, and viewed an e-mail
which
confirmed
that
Councilwoman Rogers called
for the meeting.
Mr. Riordan recently said he
could have been mistaken
about who called the meeting,
and that it could have been
Councilwoman Rogers.
“If I misled him concerning
who called the meeting, I apologize,” Mr. Riordan said, earlier this month. “What’s important here is not who called the
meeting, but the comments
made in public concerning the
court system.”
Mayor Barrella would need
a simple majority vote from
the council in order to remove
Mr. Riordan.
On Tuesday, Mayor Barrella
said the council would have to
discuss Mr. Riordan’s status in
executive session, and that any
vote would have to take place
in public.
Councilman Ray Cervino
said he was on vacation and
would not be able to attend the
meeting.
Councilman Jeff Dyer said
the meeting was “not an emer2401 Hwy. 35, Manasquan, NJ 08736

After hearing the correspondence, Mayor Barrella said it
was clear that there would be no
quorum and that it “doesn’t
make any sense to continue to
wait” for the other council
members to arrive.
Mrs. Ellsworth asked if a
motion to adjourn was necessary, and Mayor Barrella
responded by saying such a
motion would not be needed.
“We’re
not
adjourned,
because we never started,”
Mayor Barrella said. “You have
to start something in order to
finish it.”
Mayor Barrella is seeking to
have Mr. Riordan removed for
stating the Administrative

called a meeting to discuss the
behavior of Point Pleasant
Borough and Point Pleasant
Beach Court Administrator
Michelle Sargent.

Environmental Commission and

volunteers to assist with the
installation of the borough’s first
public native plant/rain garden.
The garden will be installed in
the grassy area at the east end of

Council has approved the site,
and Council President Kristine

Steve Ardito, Green Team
Project Lead on the rain garden,
said he is excited about the project, as it will serve multiple purposes.
The primary purpose of the
garden is to demonstrate the
benefits of non-structural storm
water management, and use of
native plants in the landscape.
The garden will serve to intercept and treat a portion of the
storm water draining from the

“The Green Team sees great
educational and motivational
potential for residents to add
some of these native plants to
their landscapes,” Mr. Ardito
said recently. “With the summer
we have had, these droughtresistant plants would be a welcome addition to anyone’s garden.”
Mr. Ardito has successfully
engaged

plants from Pinelands Nursery

With the assistance of the

volunteer labor, donated materials and reduced plant material
costs provided by Pinelands

Point Pleasant
Mayoral candidates share ideas
for staying under 2-percent cap
By Eric Colvin
As the much-anticipated
Point Pleasant general election approaches, mayoral candidates Susan Rogers, a
Republican, and William
Schroeder, a Democrat, each
hope to lead residents through
the difficult economic times
currently challenging the borough.
With
Mayor
Martin
Konkus’ four-year term set to
expire this year, Council
President Rogers, the current
council president, has her eyes
set on the mayor’s post, while
former
mayor
William
Schroeder, now a Democrat,
looks to return to the seat he
once held as a Republican.
Adding to the already
daunting task of creating a
successful budget, Gov. Chris
Christie
mandated
a
statewide, two-percent cap on
all municipal tax levy increases
earlier this year.
The cap will affect every
municipality in the state in
2011. This week, each mayoral
candidate was asked to provide
specific plans relating to how
he or she would help craft a
budget that would meet state
guidelines and receive council
approval.
The six-person borough
council currently consists of
four Republicans and two
Democrats. The current head
of the governing body, Mayor
Konkus, is also a Republican.
“The 2011 budget will be
daunting, without a doubt,”
Councilwoman Rogers said
this week.
Councilwoman
Rogers’
first, three-year term on council will end at the close of
2010. She has been council
president for the last two
years.
“The two-percent cap will
place even more challenges
that will require tough deci-

of our employees.”

sion-making by mayor and
council,” the councilwoman
added.
The councilwoman, 43,
resides on River Road. She has
two children in her life: Bryan,
12, and Kyra, 15. She has been
a resident of Point Pleasant
for more than 25 years.
On council, she has been
the chair of the administration
and finance committee for the
last two years. She is also a
member of the planning
board, and chairwoman of the
open space advisory committee.
“It is clear to see that all
union contracts will need to be
reopened to discuss concessions again, in order to meet
the cap requirements and preserve jobs,” Councilwoman
Rogers said this week. “We
know pension costs are up several hundred thousand dollars,
and health care increases are
over 12 percent, and raises and
benefits for municipal unions
are creeping due for January.”
Mr.
Schroeder
also
acknowledged the challenge of
keeping the borough’s budget
under the two-percent cap.
Mr. Schroeder, 63, lives on
Clarks Landing Drive with his
wife, Bonnie. He has five
grown children and five
grandchildren.
He is a 1966 graduate of
Point Pleasant Borough High
School. Mr. Schroeder served
Listening Intently
four years as mayor of Point
Pleasant, from 1998 to 2002.
He has also served as a
member of the borough’s environmental commission, as well
as four-year terms on the
town’s zoning board of adjustment and planning board, and
served two terms on the borough council in the late 1990s.
“This will truly be a challenge to develop a budget
within the two-percent cap
and not put the burden on the
employees,” Mr. Schroeder
said.
Mr. Schroeder said the cap
will limit the borough to an
increase of only about
$250,000, based on the current budget, which is just over
$12 million.

Point Pleasant
Council candidates discuss budget plans
By Eric Colvin
With the Point Pleasant general election less than a month away,
Democratic and Republican candidates are reaching out to the
public with their ideas in the hope
that they will be selected to represent the people in the Nov. 2 election.
Each council seat carries a
three-year term in office. Current
GOP Councilman William
Dikun announced earlier this year
he would not seek re-election. His
term comes to end in December.
Council President Susan
Rogers’ seat is also available, as the
councilwoman is not running for
re-election and instead has decided to seek the open mayor’s seat
[see related story].

“American
Indian Art and Culture” on

the library.
The Horizons Speakers
Bureau of the New Jersey
Council for the Humanities
will sponsor the event. The
bureau is a state partner of the
National Endowment for the
Humanities.
The lecture, led by curator
Twig Johnson, will survey the
various American Indian cultures and artwork.
For thousands of years,
American Indians have produced art that defines their
world. The creation of items
such as household implements, baskets, ceramics,
clothing, weapons and hunting items illustrates not only
their artistic talent, but also
their respect for nature, religion and everyday life.
By using examples from the
Montclair Art Museum’s collection, this lecture will illustrate the enduing traditions of
American Indian art.
The program is free and
open to the public. Please

to how they would participate in
crafting the 2011 budget. Creating
the 2001 budget will prove to be
particularly challenging, especially
following Gov. Chris Christie’s
mandate earlier this year that all
state municipalities raise their
local tax levy by no more than 2percent annually.
Mr. Goss, 34, lives on Kilkare
Parkway with his wife, Jacquie,
and their three boys, Spencer, 8,
William, 5, and Elliott, 10
months. Mr. Goss also has a
daughter, Maura DeRose, 10.
“Before we say goodbye to preschool at the recreation center, or
allow Brick to collect our garbage
and our tax money, or squeeze
more blood from our police and
public employees, I would like to
see the commitments we have to
borough professionals, attorneys,
engineers, consultants, and vendors that hemorrhage tens of
thousands of dollars dressed down
and brought in line with reality,”
Mr. Goss offered.
He said he believes “those on
the bottom” have suffered.
“I expect to reduce our tax burden … by creating sustainability in
our departments before declaring
them beyond repair, and maintaining an accurate cost of municipal operations by not letting
issues as we've experienced with
the water and sewer rate and tax
assessments undermine our fiscal
balance and security.”
Mr. Goss also spoke to what he
believes to have been a poor job by
existing council members when
crafting the 2010 budget.
“The failure to go to cap in
anticipation of severely reduced
state aid and the raiding of school
taxes to do so, cost us a $1 million
buffer that would have prevented
drastic loss of services while long
term systemic solutions were
implemented,” Mr. Goss said.
While all the candidates were
asked for specifics of what they
would do — not generalizations
— Mr. Goss did not supply
specifics as to what long term systemic solutions council could or
should have instead implemented
when drafting the 2010 budget.
Republican Robert Sabosik
offered a series of specific measures he would seek to implement,
should he be elected to council
next month.
Mr. Sabosik, 59, lives on Rue
Mirador with his wife, CJ. They
have three grown children,
Michelle, 33, Meredith, 29, and
Megan, 24.
He runs ME Sabosik
Associates, a flooring specialist
company on Bridge Avenue. He
has been in business since 1976
and at the Bridge Avenue location
since 1982.
“I will not vote for professionals
without a 20 percent pay reduction from their current rates,” Mr.
Sabosik said. “Citizens of Point
Pleasant are suffering enough.
“I will not take a paycheck
while [on council], I will look for a
cap on expenses [and] I will vote
for split fee contracts,” he continued.
Mr. Sabosik explained split fee
contracts to mean “there will be
different rates for different meetings in regard to the intensity of
the meeting and the complexity.”
Providing further specifics, Mr.
Sabosik said he would implement
“reverse auctions” and “the critical
mass theory of procurement [to]
see if there is significant savings by
entering into state contracts or
county contracts or with any other

entity for material purchases.”
Lastly, Mr. Sabosik said he will
“review major contracts ... to make
sure there is a cap for extra work
completed.” That cap will, according to Mr. Faraldi, “include a 5
percent overhead factor and a 5
percent profit charge up to a
$25,000 minimum.”
Mr. Sabosik’s running mate, Al
Faraldi said he would look to consolidation as another means up
preparing for the budget.
Mr. Faraldi, 58, lives on Bay Isle
Drive with his wife, Claudia. The
couple has three grown children,
Rob, 30, Jaime, 27, and Nick, 21.
Mr. Faraldi is a licensed land
surveyor and planner. He owns
Faraldi Group, Inc., which is
based in Secaucus. He also teaches land surveying at Stevens
Institute of Technology in
Hoboken and has lived in the borough since 1953.
“I think everyone is afraid of
consolidation, but I think we
should do more shared services,”
Mr. Faraldi said this week.
However, Mr. Faraldi continued, “I love Point Pleasant and we
have to remain autonomous.
“I want to take a closer look at
the bids,” he continued. “People
are hungry out there to work,” he
continued. To that end, Mr.
Faraldi said the borough should
find the “most qualified bidder”
who offers the “lowest price.”
Mr. Faraldi said, “We need to
cap the extras. If you don’t have
the money, you don’t buy it.”
Democrat Robert Rusk did not
respond to multiple calls for comment.

High School, in Edison. The
previous day, at Jackson
Memorial High School, judges
determined that the borough
band had the best music, overall
effect, visuals, color guard and
percussion.
Scott Visco is the director of
bands. Mr. Visco is also the
president of the All Shore Band
Director’s
Association
[ASBDA].
Last month, the band performed selections during a
board of education meeting
held at the Ocean Road
Elementary School.
“The band always does a fantastic job,” said Jacquie Goss,
spokesperson for the Point
Pleasant School District.
After the performance,
Superintendent of Schools
Vincent Smith also praised the
competition band.
Mr. Smith said that night
that it is important to recognize
all the students and faculty do
to prepare for the competitions.
He said the hard work and success is a positive for the district
as a whole.
“These students really excel
in their performances,” Mrs.
Goss said this week. She said
the band’s recent success at the
competitions gives “further testament to the outstanding talents of the band.”
Mrs. Dillon said the season
starts in August and much
preparation goes into making
the band a success.
During band camp, Mrs.
Dillon said members underwent a “rigorous two weeks of
eight-hour rehearsals each day
followed
by
three-hour
rehearsals on Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday each week.”

throughout the state, because of

this necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh show me herein you

music programs are often the
first to be drained, or eliminated completely.
The talent expressed by the
students of the competition
band help to remind listeners
just how vital such programs are
to school systems.
“[Mr.] Visco has done a fantastic job and elevated the
standing of the band throughout the state,” Mrs. Goss said.
She said the band is known all
over to be among the best in
New Jersey.
The marching band handbook provides important information for band members and
prospective members.
An excerpt from the handbook reads, “like anything
worth doing, becoming a member of the marching band
requires hard work and not an
insignificant time commitment.
The rewards far outweigh the
work, however.”
This spring, the band will
travel to Walt Disney World in
Orlanda, Florida for a multiday competition. The band will
be there from April 14 to 17.
Students looking to join the
band are informed that the current success is a result of years
of effort.
The handbook reads, “by
joining you’ll become a member
of a dedicated group of students, enjoy instant camaraderie
with fellow musicians of all
grades, travel to and perform at
many public functions and build
upon an outstanding tradition
of excellence forged over many
years.”
Last October, the band won
six trophies at the United States
Scholastic Band Association
[USSBA] Band Competition at
Jackson
Memorial
High
School.
The band edged out
Middletown South High
School and Freehold Borough
High School to win the competition. The band also won for
best music, best production,
best drumline, best color guard
and received the “Americana
Award.” The award is specific to
Jackson
Memorial
High
School, and is the equivalent of
a mayor’s trophy as it is given to
the band that expresses the
most patriotism.
A student who wishes to join
the band must also audition.
What is considered to be a
“short but important audition
process” aims to ensure “that all
members are competent in their
ability to march and play their
instrument [at the same time]
and ensure the safety of the
other members.”
For those who wish to join
the band, but are unable to
march, the program offers a
spot in the “pit percussion section.”
The band will next perform
tomorrow, Oct. 9 at Brick
Memorial High School. The
band will step off at 7:40 p.m.
The following week, on Oct.
16, the band will be at Brick
Township High School, with a
step off time of 7:50 p.m.

Point Pleasant
Borough planning board set
to hear Edgar Road tower plan
By Eric Colvin
The Point Pleasant Planning
Board is scheduled to hear the
T-Mobile Northeast, LLC
final site plan for the proposed
Edgar Road cellular tower
location during its next meeting, Thursday, Oct. 21, at borough hall.
T-Mobile has sought borough and planning board
approval for the tower for years.
The tower, if erected, would be
approximately 120-feet high
and reside near residents’
homes, borough hall and the
police department.
In June 2009, borough council approved an ordinance to
amend
borough
code.
Specifically, the ordinance
altered land use restrictions,
which paved the way to make
cellular communication towers
and antennas a permitted use.
Edgar Road residents have
expressed their concerns to the
planning board and borough
council during countless meetings.
Top among resident concerns
are health issues and depreciated home values.
“When you live near a cell
tower, you live under constant
radiation,”
Katherine
Suskevich, a borough resident
who resides on Edgar Road,
said this week.
At a borough council meeting held in July, Ms. Suskevich
and other residents expressed
those health concerns to council.
“None of us took this decision lightly,” Council President
Susan Rogers said to the residents at the meeting. The
councilwoman, a cancer survivor herself, said she, and other
council members, investigated
the possible health effects on
people who live and work near
“The process is
cumbersome, but
we don’t make the
rules, the state of
New Jersey makes
the rules.”
— James Giordano
Planning Board chairman
cell towers.
“There is no conclusive evidence that [cell towers] will
cause cancer or harm a child,”
the councilwoman said.
Ms. Suskevich and fellow
residents were present at the
August planning board meeting, where the board had
intended to listen to the TMobile site plan.
However, certain land-use
variances were required. The
variances were not anticipated
prior to the meeting, which
resulted in the application
hearing being postponed until
the meeting last month. The
specific variances requested will
be discussed at the meeting.
“T-Mobile didn’t notice correctly for those variances,”
James Giordano, chairman of
the planning board, said this
week. Mr. Giordano explained
the company did not provide
proper public notice, and that is
why the application was
delayed until September.
At the meeting last month,
held Sept. 16 at Ocean Road
School in the borough, the TMobile proposal was also not
delivered.
With residents and TMobile representatives ready to
speak to the board, board members were unable to field a quorum.
Three members were present, and two others were unable
to attend. Mr. Giordano said
he, Mary Jane Bavais, and
Ronald Venturi were present at
the Sept. 16 meeting, and prepared to move forward.
“You need five members for a
quorum,” Mr. Giordano said.
“There was horrible weather
that night and [two members]
couldn’t get down that night.”
Mr. Giordano said. Both members could not make the meeting because of the traffic that
resulted from the weather, he
said.
Mr. Giordano declined to
comment as to which planning
board members were stuck in
traffic.
Planning board members
and meeting attendees waited
until 7:30 p.m., one-half hour
after the 7 p.m. meeting start
time, before officially postponing the matter until October.
In addition, planning board
members
Mayor
Martin
Konkus and Councilwoman
Rogers have each elected not to
participate in the cell tower
hearings.
“It is only right that they do
abstain from the application,”
Mr. Giordano said in regards to
the mayor and councilwoman,
because each had a role in passing the ordinance and will have
a role in future council decisions, should the planning
board approve the application.
The proposed location,
between Edgar Road and
Bridge Avenue, currently has a
structure on the site that is
owned by the borough.
According to Mr. Giordano, TMobile seeks to expand the
current location to include an
antenna.
“[T-Mobile] wants to raise
the existing tower by 30 feet,”
Zumba Anyone?
The Ocean Medical Center in Brick hosted a Women’s Night Out, featuring fun activities such as zumba, on Wednesday.
he said. The larger tower would
also, according to borough
council members, have the ability to hold additional cellular
company antennas.
Councilwoman Rogers said
earlier this year that the borough anticipates approximately
$35,000 in revenue per antenna. The specific number of
antennas is not known, and will
depend on which companies
seek to lease space from the
borough in the future.
T-Mobile has identified
what company representatives
refer to as “dead zones” in coverage. Erecting the tower
would eliminate those patches
where no service exists, the
company asserts.
Many residents, including
Ms. Suskevich, have said they
do not believe dead zones exist,
and instead, the company is
using the language as a reason
to erect the tower.
According to the current
application, the tower would be
erected on municipal property.
Should the borough refuse the
company, and given T-Mobile’s
history of suing municipalities
throughout the country, a lawsuit would be likely.
According to the Federal
Communications Act of 1996,
federal law promotes a competitive environment among cellular companies.
T-Mobile attorneys, relying
on
the
Federal
Communications Act of 1996,
routinely assert that a township
impedes the company’s right to
compete when towers are
denied.
The attorneys of Hiering,
Dupignac, Stanzione, Dunn
and Beck, in Toms River, represent T-Mobile in the borough
application.
According to the current
application, the tower would be
erected on municipal property.
Should the borough refuse the
company, and the company prevail in court, the tower could
then be erected on private
property, which would result in
no revenue for the borough.
The planning board, however, is only charged with the task
of determining whether an
application adheres to local and
state land use requirements.
“We decide based on land
use law, not on business” Mr.
Giordano said this week.
“There is a right to build on
land as long as [the use] conforms to local and state ordinances and there is a reasonable
justification for variances.
“The process is cumbersome,
but we don’t make the rules, the
state of New Jersey makes the
rules,” Mr. Giordano concluded.
“I think it’s a good lesson for all of us. When you rush these things, when you rush these
things to start for reasons that are not having anything to do with the project itself,
when you push projects that are ill-conceived……, when you try to fit a size ten foot
into a size seven shoe, it’s never going to work”.
Governor Chris Christie, October 7, 2010
Is this Governor Christie speaking about the
Point Pleasant Borough/Point Pleasant Beach Municipal Court and Building
Department shared services agreements?
No, these comments were made by the Governor about the ARC Tunnel Project
between New York and New Jersey but, in my opinion; they could also be made to
describe the ill-conceived projects pushed by Sue Rogers and her political cronies.
$4,200,000.00 spent by Borough taxpayers to renovate Borough Hall some of
which was used to make room for Point Beach court services.
How much did Point Beach pay towards it?
$0,000,000.00
Concerned that next year we’ll be paying for their Boardwalk, too?
We should be. Say “no more” to Sue Rogers!

My wife and I have lived and voted in Point Pleasant for the last 32
years. We are both registered Democrats. We intend to vote for
SUSAN ROGERS, for Mayor and BOB SABOSIK and
AL FARALDI, for Council in our upcoming election. We thought
it important for the Voters of Point Pleasant to know why:
• We believe the present Democratic representatives on the Town
Council do not represent the PEOPLE of the Town, but rather the
interests of the UNIONS, who support them with donations and the
Special Interest Groups, who they play to for votes.
• We find certain Democratic members of our Town Council are indecisive and whimsical in their approach to their fiduciary responsibility. If you attend council meetings you will hear Mr. Leitner advocate
thinking about a problem, unless it revolves around spending and
adding additional tax burdens or represents a special group. Then he
is all for it!
• The majority of Point Pleasant residents want to keep Riverfront Park
a passive facility for all to enjoy. Mr. Leitner and Mr. McHugh want
to have it used for team sports, pandering to a specific voting bloc,
with total disregard for the People.
• The Democrats on Council voted against the use of School funds to help
offset a tax increase. They questioned the ability to pay this fund back.
Susan Rogers has a fiscal plan to pay the money back. In the 1990’s
when the Democratic Candidate, Bill Schroeder was on the Council and
was Mayor his régime borrowed ONE MILLION dollars from the
school fund, with no plan to pay it back.
• We need representatives who will stand up to the unions, not accept
special interest money and BE FOR THE PEOPLE.

Local women embrace history,
‘magic’ of Renaissance Festival
By Eric Colvin
Two Mantoloking residents
and one of their mothers traveled to South Jersey recently to
participate in the first annual
Cape May Renaissance Festival
that was complete with canons,
costumes and music from the
era.
“We had a really good time,”
said Joanne Tartaglino. Mrs.
Tartaglino told her daughter,
Jenny Tartaglino, and her
friend, Emma Fretz, about the
event.
Ms. Fretz, 25, and Ms.
Tartaglino, 23, both of
Mantoloking, drove south on
the Parkway with Ms.
Tartaglino’s mother earlier this
month to participate in Cape
May’s Renaissance Festival.
Located
between
the
Delaware Bay and the Atlantic
Ocean, the festival took place at
Willow Creek Farm and
Vineyard. The farm and vineyard is located at 168 Stevens
Street in Cape May.
The fair took place Saturday,
Oct. 2 and Sunday, Oct. 3 from
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.
Ms.
Fretz
and
Ms.
Tartaglino, who are now roommates in Mantoloking, met
while both worked summers at
Six Flags Great Adventure, in
Jackson.
Ms. Fretz said she assumes
the identity of a popular superhero to entertain visitors at Six
Flags. Ms. Tartaglino said she
has worked at the park as an
“edutainer,” educating and
teaching people as part of the
tiger program. She will also be
dressed as a ghoul this year during the park’s annual Fright
Fest.
“It is a big place,” Ms. Fretz
said of the estate. “There were a
good deal of people there.”
The farm and vineyard
reportedly is composed of more
than 40 acres of meadows,
woods, wetlands and fields. The
location is ideal for grapes,
which grow furtively throughout the estate.
Mrs. Tartaglino owns a small
business with her friend, Cindy
Bitowf, called Celtic Chairde
Creations, which has been in
existence for about seven years.
They visit fairs throughout the
state to sell their products.
Mrs. Tartaglino said, along
with an assortment of natural
skin-care products, Celtic
Chairde Creations also churns
out “interesting jams and jellies.”
She said her Jersey Shore
Jam is one of the more popular
creations. The Jersey Shore
Jam, she said, is made from
rugosa rose hips, beach plums,
raspberries and blackberries.
Celtic Chairde Creations
also puts out an array of sugar
scrubs, bath salts, lip balms,
body butters and lotion bars.
Ms. Tartaglino said her
mother’s business has a few slogans,
including
“lotions,
potions, jams and jellies,” as
well as “magic happens.”
“We went to this one with an
open mind,” Mrs. Tartaglino
said of the first annual Cape
May Renaissance Festival. She
said festivals take time to catch
on and become an annual success. So, with this one, Mrs.
Tartaglino said she went to
enjoy the day more and didn’t
expect “to make a lot of
money.”
Ms. Fretz, who is a teacher at
the Bay Head School and Point
Pleasant High School, said she
heard about the event through
Ms. Tartaglino. Ms. Fretz also
runs the spring musical that
high school students put on
every year. She said “Little
Shop of Horrors” is the selection for this spring.
“There were a lot of shops
and plenty of things to do,” Ms.
Fretz said. A music teacher, she
said she particularly enjoyed
the Renaissance-era instruments that filled the air with
music from the time.
Instruments such as celestas,
lutes and harpsichords were
also played.
“The crowds were into [the
music],” Ms. Fretz said.
“The entertainment was
wonderful,” Mrs. Tartaglino
agreed. “We go to a lot of fairs
and festivals in South Jersey.”
“For the first year, it was definitely
a
success,” Ms.
Tartaglino said of the festival.
She said more people than not
dressed in costumes from the
period.
“I’ve
always
loved
Renaissance
fairs,”
Ms.
Tartaglino said. She said she
and Ms. Fretz both decided to
get dressed up for the fair.
Ms. Tartaglino went as a
fairy, while Ms. Fretz said she
dressed up as a wench.
Mrs. Tartaglino said much of
the fun at the festivals comes
from dressing up and acting
differently than in day-to-day
life.
The two-day event also featured Renaissance acts including a Renaissance band; puppetry; Instant Shakespeare,
which was adapted from the
original, Scott Eck script; an
Elizabethan court, and individual instrumental and vocal performances.

the event. According to the

the organization brings imaginative artists and visionary talent to Cape May County.
The Renaissance court,
which Access to Art members

ensemble cast that performed
improvisational skits that
involved and entertained the
public.
Festival attendees were also
delighted by performances of
scenes from Shakespeare’s As
You Like It.
Although this year’s festival
had plenty for the public, Ms.
Tartaglino said she expects the
word to spread by the time the
second annual event roles

believes the 2011 Cape May
Renaissance Festival will be on
even a “much larger scale.”

The Bay Head Historical Society’s third historical home tour — which included the residence at 4 Osborne Ave., in Bay Head — featured a mix of architectural styles that embodied both classical and modern Shore styles.
Tour features architectural gems
starnewsgroup.com
— FROM PAGE 1 —
Log on to watch video coverage
Bay Head and neighboring
Mantoloking, plus the historical society’s museum at the
Loveland Family Homestead,
opened their doors from 11
a.m. to 3 p.m., so curious visitors could take a look inside
some of the most prominent
historical gems in the area.
“The focus of the tour is history,” said Evalyn Shippee,
founder of the Bay Head
Historical Society.
Dozens of tour participants
explored the inside of the
homes on tour route, taking
note of original pocket doors,
windows and architectural
details, while also learning
about the history of each
building.
Last weekend marked the
third Bay Head Historical
Society house tour. The event
is slated for every other year,
alternating with the Bay Head
School Foundation’s kitchen
tour, according to Mrs.
Shippee.
Most of the homes on the
tour are “old homes of interesting architecture,” she noted.
Two of the newer homes on
this year’s tour had some particularly interesting architecture, as well — a house on East
Avenue in Bay Head, where
The Bluffs Hotel once stood,
and a country cottage located
on Barnegat Lane, in
Mantoloking.
The first stop on the tour —
after visitors picked up a guide
booklet from Mrs. Shippee’s
store, the Jolly Tar, on Bridge
Avenue — was a home located
at 200 Main Ave. in Bay Head,
which was formerly the Bay
Head Gables, a bed and breakfast inn, from 1984 through
2005.
“A lot of us stayed here when
it was The Gables,” said
Kathleen O’Neill, a Sea Girt
resident who sits on the tour
committee.
“If these walls could talk,”
remarked Ann Doolan, a Bay
Head resident and volunteer at
the event.
According to the historical
society, before the building was
a bed and breakfast, it served as
a rooming house and small
hotel, with a restaurant. As an
inn, it contained 12 bedrooms
and 12 bathrooms.
The two-and-one-half-story
home was built in 1914.
The Gables is a neo-classical
Stanford White-inspired house,
according to Mrs. Shippee.
Stanford White was a worldclass architect at the turn of the
20th century, designing famous
structures such as Madison
Square Garden and the
Washington Square Arch, in
New York City.
The Gables is now a private
home, with seven bedrooms,
owned by Thomas and Michelle
Smith.
“Sometimes, in the summer,
people will pull in the driveway
when we’re outside and ask if
there are rooms available,” Mrs.

House where Hubbard
once lived to be restored

partner with the religious group
to “care for and maintain” the residences of Mr.
Hubbard
worldwide,
notably
in
South Africa,
England and
the
United
States.
“ Members
L. RON
of the Church
HUBBARD
of Scientology
are increasingly interested in the
broader historical and biographical understandings of L. Ron
Hubbard’s remarkable and courageous life, and the context of his
works,” Mr. Runyon said.
According to records obtained
from the Ocean County Clerk’s
Office, Heritage Properties
International purchased the East
Avenue home for $3 million from
former owner John A. DeVries, a
resident of Essex Fells.
The East Avenue home is
located one block in from the Bay
Head beachfront, between
Johnson and Chadwick streets,
with a view of the Atlantic
Ocean.
A call placed to the residence
this week revealed that the phone
line to the East Avenue home is
no longer in service.
“Friends of L. Ron Hubbard
and the L. Ron Hubbard Library
have started discussion with local
architectural historians and
preservationists to preserve and
restore the home, and protect the
core community values in Bay
Head,” Mr. Runyon said this
week.
According to Mr. Runyon,
From 1949 through 1950, Mr.
Hubbard resided at 666 East
Ave. He wrote and published
Dianetics: The Modern Science of
Mental Health while residing in
Bay Head. The book deals with
techniques of psychology and
self-improvement.
“The home will be accurately
restored inside and out, to its
1950 appearance, as a fine example of turn-of-the-century Bay
Head architecture and accurate to
the time L. Ron Hubbard wrote
his watershed book here,” Mr.
Runyon explained.
Mr. Runyon went on to say
that the home was also occupied,
at various times, by former New
Jersey State Sen. Donal Fox, as
well as James Kellogg III and
Elizabeth Kellogg, so restoring
the home will also provide a view
of Bay Head within the context
of New Jersey history.
Mr. Runyon said members of
the L. Ron Hubbard House are
also performing a rigorous data
collection in conjunction with the
Bay Head Historical Society, the
Ocean
County
Historical
Society, and others in the community, as well as with the L. Ron
Hubbard Library.
Members of the Bay Head
Historical Society declined to
comment on the collaboration
with the L. Ron Hubbard House
when contacted this week.
“We will develop an historical
evaluation that will give a meaningful narrative interpretation of
this historic site, and add to the
historic Bay Head narrative, and
support the values that have built
it,” Mr. Runyon said.
“We have been spending the
past several weeks talking with
and listening to the Bay Head
historians, architects and our
neighbors, to get a real understanding of the area, as well gather historic research,” Mr. Runyon
added.
He noted that restoring the
house to 1950s-era specifications
will require no variances, so the
restoration project will not
require planning board approval.
“The historical interpretation
includes preserving what it was in
Bay Head that attracted L. Ron
Hubbard to write here and discuss ideas with other creative and
brilliant people, as well as what he
saw out the windows,” Mr.
Runyon continued.
“Those are the things that
make Bay Head what it is even
today, and the reason our neighbors remain here,” he said. “That
includes a love of the sea and sailing, set in quiet and modest perfection, where the prevailing
winds are a sense of enjoyment,
humanity, and disciplined creativity.”
According to the official
Church of Scientology website,
www.scientology.org, the religion
is described as the study of the
spirit, and how individuals use
their spirit to relate to themselves,
each other, and all life forms. A
main tenet of the faith is to
become certain of one’s relationship to God, or a “supreme
being.”
The Church of Scientology
has been reported to have
between 8 and 15 million members. Some of the more famous
adherents include celebrity couples Tom Cruise and Katie
Holmes, and John Travolta and
Kelly Preston.
L. Ron Hubbard incorporated
the first Church of Scientology in
1953 in Camden, along with his
wife, Mary Sue Hubbard, and
John Galusha.
The Church is now headquarted in Gold Base, an unincorporated area of Riverside County,
Calif.

Two of Bay Head’s incumbent Republican council members will be running unopposed in the general election
this year, seeking to return to
their seats.
Councilmen John DeFilippis
and James A. Urner will be
unchallenged on Election Day,
Nov. 2, in their bid to be elected
to new, three-year terms.
Barring a write-in campaign,
the councilmen are assured reelection.
This week, the councilmen
each weighed in with their
thoughts on issues facing the
borough.
“We try to maintain the status quo as much as possible, and
address borough issues as they
arise,” Councilman DeFilippis
explained.
Councilman DeFilippis said
another issue facing Bay Head
would be the regular collection
of solid waste and garbage.
“For a number of years, by
contract, our policy specifically
outlined solid waste pickup,”
through the hire of an outside
garbage collector, Councilman
DeFilippis explained. “An issue
came up with the placement of
where garbage cans are located
when not being picked up.”
The borough’s refuse collector, Waste Management, will
currently collect solid waste
from cans placed either in the
sideyard or backyard of borough
properties, as directed by borough ordinance. Councilman
DeFilippis said that seasonal
residents who may not be familiar with this policy sometimes
leave garbage bags and cans out
in front of their house, in order
to ensure that they will be collected.
“It’s not fair to the neighbors
to leave garbage out like that,
and we found that seagulls will
rip open the bags if they know
that garbage is inside. In the
ordinance, we sought to prevent
loose garbage from being on the

SCOTT COLABELLA HAS KNOWLEDGE,
EXPERIENCE TO BE OCEAN COUNTY CLERK
Editor, The Ocean Star:
With the 2010 Elections less than one month
away, we have to get excited about the candidate we
feel is the leader. Scott Colabella is the leader in the
race for Ocean County Clerk.
The County Clerk’s Office is in charge of filing,
handling, and preserving of public records. The
Ocean County Clerk’s Office is recognized as
being cost effective and technologically advanced,
using online computer indexes, optical scanning
and retrieval of documents.
Scott Colabella is the Acting County Clerk who
needs to be elected in November as the new Ocean
County Clerk. He is an accomplished individual
who has been contributing to the County Clerk
Office’s superior reputation since 1993. Scott is
imminently qualified to handle the Clerk’s job. He
has been recognized by his peers and received
bipartisan awards for his outstanding achievements
and leadership as Deputy County Clerk.
It is vitally important that we elect a County
Clerk that has both knowledge and experience. No
matter what your party affiliation, I urge you to
vote for the candidate who has the best ability to
do the job of County Clerk and all signs point to
Scott Colabella. The County Clerk’s Office needs a
competent record keeper, who will be able to continue to expand the reputation that the Ocean
County Clerk’s Office has of being cost effective
and technologically advanced.
I urge everyone to vote for Scott Colabella.

PUT WENZEL BACK WHERE SHE BELONGS:
VOTE WENZEL FOR LAVALLETTE MAYOR
When we think of politics, there always seems to
be tarnish associated. The people of Lavallette now
have the opportunity to elect a shining star for
mayor. Britta Wenzel should be back on the council at the helm, in the position that she earned and
deserves.
During her six years of council tenure, she has
proven herself to be intelligent, well-versed,
respectful and always prepared to discuss the issues
in a professional manner. The depth of her knowledge and discussion is always with fact and foresight. She has proven her abilities in her management of public works [the largest department], as
she worked with supervisors and employees to
implement necessary changes that benefited all
residents.
Her ideas and plans to rebuild the boardwalk
saved the borough millions of dollars. The project
was well-planned, implemented and completed in
the time frame that was promised. Britta’s involvement and decisions in other issues assured that the
results would be for the betterment of all residents.
Once again, the people of Lavallette should put
this shining star back where she belongs, as mayor
of Lavallette.

to be one of your next Ocean County Freeholders.
I am an angler, trailer boater, paddler, clammer,
fixed income pensioner, overtaxed homeowner,
environmentalist, fiscal conservative, naturalist,
New Jersey certified science educator, and a slightly handicapped resident of the Jersey Shore for 41
years.
I have been a Chief Parks Naturalist, outdoors
writer/lecturer, charter captain, micro-business
owner retired by over-regulation, six year Point
Pleasant Borough council member, and a 31-year
planning board and/or environmental commission
member and/or chair.
Married 32 years with a loving wife, I have two
sons desperately seeking real jobs in a depressed
economy. We spend much of the year enjoying a
clean Barnegat Bay. We want it to stay that way.
We pay too much property and other taxes. We
want to see that reversed.
Shared [regional] services? Ocean County need
be first in line to save the taxpayers money. Estuary
protection? Ocean County need be second to none.
Smart budgeting? Ocean County should never
come in third...or second. Open government? No
one should be in the dark. Safe travel and neighborhoods? Why don’t all county road projects
include safe shoulders and sidewalks? Number 1, 2,
3 regional employers? That should be environmentally sensitive manufacturers providing socially
responsible employment and a stable tax base, not
the County of Ocean or any other governmental
entities.
If any of this helps describe you and your ideas,
we share common needs. When one elects someone with shared interests, one can expect positive
results. We elect too many clueless officials who
can’t understand our necessities.
Along with Mike Collins, I’d appreciate a
chance to represent the residents of our fantastic
Ocean County as freeholder. I promise to
encourage
fiscally
responsible,
socially
respectable, transparent, honest governing that
improves our environment, creates an atmosphere for real job growth, and provides economical services we all expect and deserve. Vote for
change on Nov. 2.

VOTE COLUMN A ON ELECTION DAY
No learning curve required! We have two council candidates that can hit the ground running on
January 1, 2011 and we can’t elect them quick

Republicans Bob Sabosik and Al Faraldi are
successful business owners who have weathered the
financial storms and they have the experience to
reduce costs and provide tax relief.
With over 50 years of combined business experience, Bob and Al will be able to comprehend the
demands of a 2-percent cap, handle the loss of state
aid and a budget that is sure to be daunting in
2011.
Tough decisions will have to be made and more
importantly solutions provided to preserve jobs,
quality of life and services. Bob Sabosik and Al
Faraldi will do the research, use their intellect and
experience to get viable answers.

laws that allow for “reverse auctions” so we can start setting the price
we want to pay. I agree with their stance on cutting professional fees

President Susan Rogers has initiated and brought to fruition, they
share the same values. Beneficial shared services, open contact negotiations and yes, a “zero” municipal tax increase. And, they will strive
to improve department efficiencies so we can do more with less in the
future, because we can’t afford more taxes.

POINT NEEDS LEADERS WITH BUSINESS EXPERIENCE
In April, we need to elect Board of Education personnel that will
address the rising cost of education. In November, we need to elect a
mayor and council who will address the rising cost of municipal government. But we need to elect people who know the difference
between the two. Confusing the electorate is a disappointing and dishonest endeavor.
We need to elect a mayor and two councilmen that can address the
rising cost of taxes to our residents. Weekly, I have friends call with
news of job losses in the private sector. Families in our community are
suffering due to the economy and employment challenges. We need
clear voices with business experience who know how to make creative, innovative and fiscally wise decisions in our best interest. They
need to be able to think strategically and conceptually regarding the
challenges we have in front of us in order to allow all of our current
residents to continue to live in Point Pleasant. We need individuals
who can navigate our current position while moving us forward. I
believe Rogers, Sabosik and Faraldi have the skill set, knowledge and
experience needed for these tough economic times.
We need Sue Rogers for mayor, Bob Sabosik and Al Faraldi for
council. Our Council President, Susan Rogers has a proven track
record for cutting costs and working very hard for taxpayers. Both
gentlemen, Bob Sabosik and Al Faraldi are longstanding members of
our community, successful business professionals and want to be
involved in running our government because they care about keeping
Point Pleasant safe with a reasonable tax base.
Be informed by visiting the website theborotaxpayersfirst.com and

Sabosik and Al Faraldi for borough Council on Nov. 2. Respectfully

SCHROEDER & CO. LACK FINANCIAL KNOW-HOW
The slogan “Take Point Back” definitely has new meaning for Bill
Schroeder and team. Mr. Schroeder was elected to council from 1995
to 2002 [Council President for 1997 to 1998 and Mayor from 1999
to 2002], and during this period, taxes went up 68 percent, deferring
$1 million in school taxes from 1995 to 1997 [when taxes increased
by 38 percent], with his record of never paying the money back to the
school fund.
During his tenure, he was instrumental in the sale of the Point
Pleasant hospital, which was flipped to land developers who pocketed millions from the sale within days, leaving the taxpayer out in the
cold. Mr. Schroeder increased union contracts with salary raises that
the current taxpayer is still feeling, and will for years after. In 2009,
one of Mr. Schroeder’s beneficiaries sat on council and stated during
a budget meeting that the taxpayers expected their taxes to go up, so
union increases were not unheard of. He further remarked that the
average person should work just a bit harder and give up going out to
dinner once or twice a year. The residents have made it clear that they
are not going to support paying the outlandish salaries and benefits
supported by unions. The days of a 32-hour work week with unlimited health benefits and administrators making $200,000 per year
need to be over.
Mr. Schroeder’s camp has Mr. Goss going on record as having no
love for politics, living in Point Pleasant since 2004, not understanding how many EMT’s, policemen, and teachers are “too many” for a
community, however his primary family income is from public
employment. So what does he really know about the town, and the
hardships that taxpayers endure? Will he be the next one to sit up and
tell taxpayers that they need to work a bit harder?
Mr. Rusk is like the old cliche “Where’s Waldo?” or maybe does
not enough to say to convince anyone that he is the right man for the
job!
I plan on voting “Column A” on Nov. 2, Susan Rogers for mayor,
Bob Sabosik and Al Faraldi for borough council. They share our
voice and vision for a better future, and will help us to survive the current financial climate.

WHERE’S THE BEACH?
On Wall Street there is a concept of a corporate takeover. In government, this is called “consolidation.” Consolidation theoretically
saves money by merging services between towns which can eliminate
staff and office space. This however, can create winners and losers
where one town wins and one loses. It is both a financial and a political game. The town that is forced to consolidate from a position of
weakness tends to lose. Today, we are becoming that town of weakness.
If departments are sent to the borough, I believe we will cease to
be relevant and will be absorbed by our larger neighbor. This is the
major issue for us. While it may look that we are winning now with
promises of budget cuts, we will lose in the long run. Consolidation
with a town that has higher taxes rates and lower ranked schools
would not bode well for future property taxes or property valuations
no matter what the promise. There was a time, when it was suggested that we have a parking plan to raise revenue. The town backed off
of this idea because of resident protest. After consolidation, the borough would probably move to obtain additional revenues from its
new acquisition. Parking would be easily the first on the list. If we
consolidated, as a voting minority, we would be powerless to stop it.
Proponents of the building department consolidation at the recent
council meeting said that we will absolutely save $220,000. No independent audit had been done to back this up. Instead, they have
relied on a Trenton government groups’ [DCA] study requested by
the borough! Since when do Point Pleasant borough/Trenton studies
represent our interests? An independent audit would establish if any
savings are real and achievable. Prior to this, proponents of consolidation voted to lower the motel tax and cut the special police force.
Both lowered our revenues intensifying our budget “crisis”. No prob-
lem they say, consolidation is the solution. How convenient.
Mayor Barrella is facing a recall. While some may find him abrasive, Mayor Barrella has been fighting to prevent this takeover and
more importantly, has no aspirations of political advancement beyond
Point Pleasant Beach. He was against lowering of the hotel/motel
tax, as well as the reduced special police which reduced our revenues.
Whether you signed the recall petition or not, the mayor is vehemently opposed to the hypothetical consolidation of our town.
Stephen Reid may say the same, but he is supported by the group
leading the charge for consolidation. Barrella is a laser beam on this
issue and it is critical that he remain in office. Vote “no” on the recall.
Vote Barrella, Column C, for mayor. Tooker has voted against consolidation. Corbally on the Democratic side has prior experience on
the council, and is against consolidation. Yes, you will need to cross
party lines too. In my opinion, it is a one-question election —
whether we will continue to exist as a town or not?

ROGERS, SABOSIK & FARALDI WILL KEEP SPENDING IN CHECK
Please join me in voting for Rogers, Sabosik and Faraldi this Nov.
2. They represent the financial conservative leaders this town needs.
Last year, Sue Rogers led the fight to keep our local government
spending in check, resulting in a zero increase for the taxpayers. Bob

make the right decision and vote Nov. 2 – Column “A”.

PUBLIC SAFETY MUST BE A GREATER CONCERN IN POINT
PLEASANT
After reading the Oct. 1 edition of The Ocean Star, and Chief
Williams’ concern about safety due to the reduction in police department personnel, and Mr. Leitner’s quote that there is serious concern
over the police department’s ability to protect the public, many things
come to mind.
A few years back, my neighbor’s house was broken into, and it was
not listed in The Ocean Star’s police blotter. Why not? Maybe, just
maybe, if the taxpayers knew what was really going on in our town,
we would be screaming for more police officers.
When the police department had a full complement of officers and
was looking for money to update their equipment and enlarge their
facility, I saw dozens of traffic violations go unpunished, such as not
stopping at stop signs, not using turn signals, crossing double lines,
making illegal left-hand turns and using cell phones while driving —
why did our police officers not issue tickets for these violations?
Based on everyone’s concern for the public’s safety, does this mean
that if I apply for a concealed handgun carry permit, I will receive one
after an extensive background check? If I don’t receive one, and am
mugged or worse, should I keep a copy of the Oct. 1 edition of The
Ocean Star for my lawyer?

WHAT ARE DIKUN’S MOTIVES FOR ATTACKING ROGERS?
Who is Bob Dikun? Weeks of full-page ads that cost over $700 a
piece in The Ocean Star attacking Susan Rogers and paid for personally by Bob Dikun. These vitriolic writings are from a Lieutenant in
the Point Pleasant Beach Police Department, a lawyer and an
instructor in the police academy. The brother of a sitting councilman,
Bob Dikun forced the borough to defend itself in court this year not
once, but twice, leaving taxpayers to foot unnecessary legal fees. So I
have to ask, what gives?
What are the motivations of Bob Dikun? Could it be that he’s trying to get into the good graces of mayoral candidate Bill Schroeder?
It is well-known that Bill Schroeder had his hands in awarding the
most generous salaries and benefit packages to municipal and police
unions. I personally read those contracts Schroeder signed. So, is it
more than coincidence that on the eve of this June primary and now
the general election, Bob Dikun would send a shot over the bow of
Susan Rogers to heed warning?
In May, Bob Dikun e-mailed Sue and said, “You decided to run
the Christie theme and alienate every possible special interest group,

especially teachers and municipal workers.” He tells her, “You talk
about shared pain. I see none for the residents. ... Increase the tax rate
$.014, take the deferment out of the budget. Blame the uncertainty of
the economy.” I was simply shocked at what I was reading.
Dikun goes on to say to Sue, “I like you very much as a person. As
a politician, you have become very easy to dislike. This issue is a nonnegotiable one for me. It either goes away or I will launch a media barrage in the next 72 hours the likes of which Point Pleasant Borough
has never seen before.” And if that wasn’t intimidating enough, he tells
her ,”Please don’t put me in the position where it has to become adversarial. I am humbled to say that many people are watching my lead.”
Now I don’t know about you, but I don’t take kind to bullies and I
am proud that our Council President and future mayor Susan Rogers
doesn’t cave to pressure, or what I believe to be outright threats. Sue is
the leader we want on the front lines, unafraid to put taxpayers first.
Say no to more taxes! Say no to 4 more years of Bill Schroeder, and
his team Chris Goss & Bob Rusk. Give us the council team that will
give you another “zero” municipal tax increase in 2011. Vote Susan
Rogers for mayor and Bob Sabosik and Al Faraldi for borough council, Column “A” on Nov. 2.

NEW JERSEY LOSES MILLIONS WITHOUT BEER & WINE LICENSE
In these difficult economic times, any means of creating revenue,
while also creating more jobs in our state is imperative for our legislators to explore. Creating a New Jersey Beer & Wine License, offered
in a regulated, controlled and pre-determined licensure situation, is
one such solution.
Currently, our state state forgoes millions of dollars each year by not
having a New Jersey Beer & Wine License, because we miss out on
sales tax that could be earned from selling beer and wine by the glass.
Each municipality loses annual renewal fees, and associated permit
fees. New Jersey has the opportunity to earn millions of dollars in the
initial sales of such a license — if only our legislators would create it.
The main opposition comes from the holders of full liquor licenses —
who expect the state to protect their personal investment. I propose
that with certain restrictions — like mandating that a Beer & Wine
License be table service only — a compromise could be reached.
Currently, the only alcohol license available in New Jersey is a “full”
liquor license, which allows for the sale of beer, wine and, or liquor
appropriate for a bar, and costing on average $500,000. These licenses are limited in quantity, privately held, and carry a price that is prohibitively expensive for smaller restaurants. Furthermore, the law
mandates that an establishment with a full liquor license construct a
physical bar from which to serve the alcohol. This essentially forces a
restaurant to become a bar. To give an example: Under the current
licensure option — my family’s restaurant would have to construct a
physical bar — and from the cost and nature of the license we would
turn into a bar.
The challenge faced by any food establishment is to draw a profit
based upon the sale of food and, or spirits. If a restaurant does not sell
alcohol — which carries a higher profit margin than food — they are
dependent on the profits from food alone. This often does not make
sense for a successful business model, and translates into lost jobs and
closed businesses.
Even if a restaurant bought a liquor license for the $500,000 price
tag, and utilized it only for beer and wine, the cost of the license would
negate the realized profits. The establishment must be physically big
enough to generate enough volume of business to justify the cost.
Smaller bistros often do not have this space. Offering restaurants the
option to purchase a New Jersey Beer & Wine License, at an affordable price, would enable restaurants to sell beer and wine — and
enable them to stay in business. And businesses — staying in business
and creating jobs — is just what New Jersey desperately needs.

LACICERO IS KEY TO LAVALLETTE’S SUCCESS
Lavallette, in my opinion, is a great place to live, having the beauty
of the Jersey Shore and being affordable. Municipal services are delivered efficiently and at reasonable cost. The key ingredient in
Lavallette’s reasonable taxes is the leadership and management of
Mayor LaCicero. During his tenure, municipal taxes per average residential property very modestly increased. Lavallette’s neighbors on
the barrier island in Toms River, Brick and Berkeley were stunned by
recent draconian increases in their property taxes.
Crushing tax increases in towns on the barrier island have caused
reduced home values, and in many cases, non-sellable homes. Most
dramatically, recent out-of-control tax increases caused many fixedincome residents to endure substantial reductions in their living standard and puts their financial security at risk. To date, because of Mayor
LaCicero’s management, Lavallette taxpayers have been spared their
fate. That, in my opinion, is a big deal!
What better endorsement of Mayor LaCicero could there be than
he delivers essential municipal services at reasonable cost? Therefore,
I encourage Lavallette voters to vote for Mayor LaCicero.

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS IN POINT
Actions speak louder than words! That is why we need Susan
Rogers for mayor and Bob Sabosik and Al Faraldi for borough council on Nov. 2.
Bill Schroeder has an eight-year history as a councilman and mayor,
and he and his council increased borough taxes 68 percent, and if that
wasn’t bad enough, he used 1 million dollars in school tax deferment
without repaying the school fund. He increased spending and
increased salaries and benefits for the municipal unions. Now, he
wants to be our mayor again.
Weigh that against what Susan Rogers has done since coming onto
council in 2008. Our Council President brought us a “zero” municipal
tax increase this year, she made shared services happen with the
Beach, saving taxpayers $235,000, she changed policy that brought
union contract negotiations out into the open public, she founded the
neighborhood watch program to help improve public safety, she cut
health costs, cut spending and voted to reduce contract benefits and
asked for rate freezes. Now, Susan Rogers wants to lead us into 2011
as mayor!
Pretty easy choice, isn’t it? Susan Rogers for mayor and her team of
Bob Sabosik and Al Faraldi for borough council. A team where
actions will speak louder than words, and that is why I will vote for
Susan Rogers, Bob Sabosik and Al Faraldi on Nov. 2, Column A —
naturally, the right choice!

PEOPLE
One of the greatest joys in Patti Ascolese’s life is rescuing and caring for helpless kittens [right], including her
newest additions, who were rescued recently in the borough. Point Paws committee members recently took a
look around the association’s new headquarters in the
borough [left]. The group was recently awarded use of the
office of emergency management building. Shawn, Grace
and Carl [center] are just a few of the abandoned cats that
found their way into the safe hands of the Point Paws
members and volunteers.
Two paws way up for Point Pleasant’s
fledgling animal welfare committee
ive local women devote
themselves and much
of their time to help
the most helpless of
borough residents.
Triche Sherman, Patti Ascolese,
Lisa Togneri, Lisa Garbarino and
Margaret Yeaw are the women
behind Point Paws, the Point
Pleasant Borough Animal Welfare
Committee.
Whether the women are housing
animals in their own homes, feeding
and caring for cat colonies in the
borough, or responding to emergency situations at all hours of the
day, each contribute in their own
way, not only to the well-being of
animals, but also to the good of all
residents in the borough.
“I’ve always loved animals,” said
Mrs. Sherman, a Point Pleasant resident.
Mrs. Sherman and Mrs.
Ascolese, of Point Beach, are cochairs of Point Paws.
“From the time I was young, I
always brought home stray cats,
although my parents weren’t always
happy with that,” Mrs. Sherman
joked.
Both as a child, and now grown,
with a family of her own, Mrs.
Sherman said there have been
numerous varieties of pets in her
homes throughout her life. Aside
from cats and dogs, of which there
have been plenty, Mrs. Sherman
said birds, gerbils, an iguana, a firebelly newt were among a sampling
of the animals that have touched her
F
life.
Even a pet squirrel, named Baby,
entered her life, and “[Baby] would
come when you called,” Mrs.
Sherman laughed.
Mrs. Ascolese, too, had a variety
of pets through the years.
“We had all kinds,” Mrs.
Ascolese recalled. “Dogs, cats, birds,
turtles, hamsters, gerbils, mice.”
And she too had an iguana enter the
picture along way.
She and her husband, Nicholas,
currently have four cats, Gracen,
Tinker Belle, Delilah and
Arrielle.The family dog, a black lab
named Cocoa, recently passed away
from cancer.
Mrs. Ascolese, who is committed
to the care of every animal she
comes in contact with, did everything she could to save Cocoa including six-rounds of chemotherapy and an amputation.
Mrs. Sherman’s dog, Brina, was
rescued by Jack Neary, known in the
borough as Muskrat Jack.
“[Mr. Neary] found her, and we
took her in,” Mrs. Sherman said.
She said Brina was tied to a bridge
in the borough and abandoned. She
nurtured Brina back to health, and
now the dog goes to work everyday
with her husband, Corrie.
The passion the women have had
throughout their lives for animals, is
now, perhaps, best expressed in their
community efforts for all animals
who need help in the borough.

“I have been feeding cat colonies
for years,” Mrs. Ascolese explained.
She said there is a colony on
Channel Drive to which she tends
regularly. She not only feeds the
cats, but also keeps a detailed log
that includes information such as
which cats are in the colony, which
are injured and any newcomers.
“You want to help them,” said
Councilwoman Toni DePaola.“The
volunteers inspire others.”
The councilwoman said Mayor
Martin Konkus asked for a council
volunteer to serve as liaison to Point
Paws, when the committee was
formed earlier this year.
“They are doing this because they
know it to be the right thing to do
and I believe in their mission,” the
councilwoman said.
Councilwoman DePaola, new to
council at the time, said she was
happy to assist the volunteers.
She said it was clear from the
start that “the organization was
looking to move forward” and she
wanted to assist the best she could.
Mrs. Ascolese and Mrs. Sherman
spoke highly of Councilwoman
DePaola’s efforts and Mayor
Konkus’ dedication to Point Paws.
“He stuck to his word,” Mrs.
Ascolese said of Mayor Konkus.
She said he promised the committee
a building and make it happen officially in August.
“He promised us a building from
the first day,” Mrs. Sherman said.
She said the women were granted
the office of emergency management [OEM] building at the Aug.
16 council meeting.
“The OEM personnel are in the
process of getting the last of their
belongings out of the building,”
Councilwoman DePaola said.
Mrs. Ascolese and Mrs. Sherman
said they believe Point Paws will be
in the building within one month.
“We have many people willing to
work to make it happen,” Mrs.
Sherman said, of volunteer efforts to
ready the building for Point Paws.
“It’s going to be lovely,” Mrs.
Ascolese said. She said the building
will be complete with an adoption
center, an office, a washer and dryer,
hot and cold water ,and shelving.
The organization’s first largescale fundraiser, called “Kruisin’ for
Kitties” was held Aug. 5 aboard the
Miss Michelle III. The night was a
huge success, with more than 100
people having climbed aboard the
boat for the evening.
Mrs. Sherman said the group has
a host of fundraisers planned in the
upcoming months, and urged the
public to stay tuned for specifics as
the time approaches.
Anyone interested in more information about Point Paws, or who
would like to volunteer with the
group, can contact Patti Ascolese at

Walk to School Day gathers students, community

AN OUTSIDE CHANCE
Men who work outdoors in the
sun are less likely to contract kidney cancer than indoor workers
says a study of more than 2,500
men. Men whose occupations
exposed them to the greatest
amount of sunlight had a 24%38% lower risk of renal cell carcinoma than their sun-deprived
counterparts. Researchers believe
this decreased risk may be due to
higher production of vitamin D
(which travels through the blood
to the kidneys, the organ most
responsible for vitamin D metabolism and activity) as well as calcium equilibrium. As the incidence of vitamin D deficiency has
increased over the past few
decades, so has the prevalence of
cancer of the kidneys, the organs
where vitamin D is metabolized
in its active form.
If you think you may be at risk
of developing kidney cancer, talk
to your urologist about ways to
reduce your risk and schedule regular checkups. Kidney cancer
diagnosed in the early stages is
easier to treat with a good prognosis. Always bring any unusual
changes in your urinary system to
your doctor’s attention promptly.
When you require urologic care,
call 732-223-7877 for our office

form of vitamin D produced by
the kidneys is called “calcitriol.”

Point Pleasant’s streets were
busier than usual before school
last Friday morning, as the students at Nellie F. Bennett
Elementary School participated
in the international initiative,
Walk to School Day, last
Friday, Oct. 8.
The walk was originally
scheduled for Wednesday, Oct.
6, but was postponed due to
rain.
The walk, held in conjunction with International Walk to
School Day, drew approximately 500 Nellie Bennett students.
The local students joined children from approximately 5,000
schools from around the world
to participate in walking to
school.
International Walk to School
Day was organized by the federal Safe Routes to School program, and works to create safer
routes for walking and bicycling to school, while emphasizing the importance of
increased physical activity.
The Nellie Bennett students
walked in droves, accompanied
by parents, siblings and — in
the case of several very lucky
students — some of their
teachers, or Nellie Bennett
Principal James Karaba.
Upon arrival at school, many
teachers, Superintendent of
Schools
Vincent
Smith,
Supervisor of Pupil Personnel
Services Rita Miller, Director
of Curriculum and Instruction
Robert Alfonse, and Point
Pleasant Borough Police officers Mike Colwell and Kevin
Aurin greeted the walkers.
“Walk to School Day is a
great event, because it helps to
foster the school’s dedication to
promoting physical fitness
among our students,” said
physical education teacher
Greg Akins.
“All students are able to participate in some way, regardless
of how far away they live from
school or any other limitations,” Mr. Akins said.
According to Mr. Akins,
Walk to School Day is always a
highly anticipated event, and
the walk is combined with var-
THE LOOK AND FEEL OF NATURAL HAIR
It used to be easy to spot a man with hair transplants. The hair-transplantation procedure originally
called for the removal of multiple hairs from the back of
the head in small cylinders (“plugs”) that were placed
into holes in the bald area. It commonly took about four
sessions (with about 50 plugs per session) to fill in an
area without any appearance of cornrows. However,
as effective as this technique was at covering the bald
area, it created an aesthetically unacceptable hairline,
that often required hair to be combed over the front to
cover evidence of the transplanted plugs. Today, this is
unnecessary, thanks to “minigrafts” (3-5 hairs) and
“micrografts” (1-2 hairs), which allow for the creation of
natural-looking hairlines.
To schedule a consultation for cosmetic surgery,
please call SEA SHORE PLASTIC AND HAND
SURGERY CENTER. Understanding the desired look
and needs of our patients, and giving them satisfacto-
ry results, is the core of our practice. We provide you
with a private and relaxed environment, where you are
given enough time to address all of your concerns.
Cleft lip and palate surgery, breast surgery, body contouring, eyelid surgery and skin resurfacing are just a
few of the procedures we offer.
P.S. Hair transplantation is consistently among the
top five most popular cosmetic procedures among
men in the United States.

Akins said, if aofstudent
freshman year, they are back
home without a clue as to
what their next step should
be. Should they stay put,
hoping that things will
change for the better, or
should they drop out and
plan a new start for the
spring term? What role
should parents play at this
critical time when they are
trying to encourage their
child to make independent
decisions?
Even when the college
choice is working out, there
is a good chance that the
selection of a major course
of study needs to be revisited. Students often find out
they were not really as
interested in psychology,
engineering, communication, etc, as they thought
they were.
So much for planning
ahead!
False starts like these are
costly and can be unsettling
to any young adult’s confidence in the future. Parents
can feel powerless to provide meaningful advice.
False starts among freshman are common. Many
different transition and
adjustment issues are part of
a huge puzzle that every
young adult faces as they
transition into their future
through college. These
issues do not go away;
young people find themselves revisiting them over
and over again. For many
parents, the question they
must wrestle with is, “What
role, if any, should I play
with my child during this
critical time?”
For many parents with
“helicopter parent” tendencies, there is the risk that
their child will miss out on

rience. Every parent has to
find the balance between
intervention and letting go.
It is not hard to understand how young adults
have come to be so dependent on parents, teachers and
counselors. After all, the
need to succeed at a high
level that students feel, even
during elementary and middle school, is widely recognized. During high school
and as they start their freshman year in college, it is
easy for them to fall into a
subservient role when decisions are so critical.
With so many decisions
and issues to address
between the junior year of
high school and the first
year of college, and the critical need for the young adult
to make independent decisions, we need to ask what
resources are needed for our
child to author their own
future plans. What can parents do before seeking professional advice? Here are a
few tips:
• Your child can seek out
their high school counselor,
or a teacher who was close
to them during their senior
year. High school faculty is
always happy to hear from
former students. A discussion with this person could
be very helpful.
• Talk to your child about
your college experience, or
about a life changing transition in your own life.
• Encourage your child to
make independent decisions
in other areas of their life.
Hopefully, they will become
more confident about problem solving.
• When first considering
and evaluating colleges, give
your child a large blank
chart and ask them to list
• PARENT SENSE •
Helping children avoid glitches
during the transition to college
their values and goals. Then
have them rank each of the
schools against these personal priorities. This kind of
analysis provides a focus on
what is really important.
Parents should hold onto
this chart even as their child
heads off to college. You
never know if your child
will need to revisit it on
their first Thanksgiving
break during their first
semester!
• Don’t panic! College
adjustment problems are
common. Look at college
retention data. Your sons or
daughters are not alone.
Finally, young adults
often find that working
with an experienced career
counselor
helps
them
explore alternatives that are
consistent with their interests and values. It provides a
confidential setting in
which they can explore academic and career options
outside the influence of
family and friends. This
counseling can be combined
with career testing that
identifies interests and personality traits. The findings
of these career assessments,
interpreted by an experienced career counselor, can
lead to a knowledgeable
search of college majors and
occupations that are consistent with the results.
The goal of career and
academic counseling is to
provide a young adult with
an objective understanding
of who they are, and an
opportunity to develop their
own plans for the future.
This, combined with caring
and interested parents who
encourage
independent
decision-making, increases
the likelihood that young
people will find meaningful
success in college and life.

recently been learning about the
history of the Egyptian civilization, and the important role the
Nile River and Sahara Desert
played in the civilization’s development.
In addition, according to Mr.
Kennedy, the students will also
learn about the notable leaders
of Ancient Egypt.
“Specifically, the kids will
research important people such
as Cleopatra, Ramses II, Isis and
King Tut,” Mr. Kennedy
explained.
Mr. Kennedy’s sixth-graders
also learned about papyrus, a
thick, paper-like material used
by Egyptians to make boats,
mattresses, sandals and ropes.
Papyrus was also used as an early
form of parchment.
“We will also be discussing
the contributions that the
Ancient Egyptians made to the
world, and of course, mummification,” Mr. Kennedy added.
The sixth-graders will be
assessed on their knowledge of
Ancient Egypt through traditional tests, plus written and oral
reports, Mr. Kennedy said.
Students will also have the
opportunity to participate in a
more creative project, the
teacher noted.
Mr.
Kennedy
recently
brought a lesson on mummification alive, as students were asked
to practice the Ancient
Egyptian ritual of preparing
bodies for burial on each other,
using toilet tissue in place of traditional burial wraps.
“When we come to the end of
the unit, we like to relax with a
fun project, and the students
really enjoy ‘mummifying’ each
other,” Mr. Kennedy said, with a
smile.

Blood drive slated
for Oct. 19 at OCC
New Jersey Blood Services
[NJBS], a division of the New
York Blood Center [NYBC], is
calling upon the communities it
serves to donate blood.
A blood drive will be held on
Tuesday, Oct. 19, at the Ocean
County College Center Annex,
on College Drive in Toms River,
from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Recent stormy weather, and
the Labor Day holiday weekend,
have resulted in fewer donations,
and a less than two-day supply of
O-negative and B-negative blood
for patients in need.
Donations from O-negative
and B-negative types are particularly needed, immediately.
NJBS calls upon blood donors
to help achieve its goal of a fiveto seven-day supply of these
types.
Of course, healthy people of all
blood types and ethnicities are
also encouraged to donate and
help save lives.
As students return to school
and the summer of 2010 comes
to a close, we must remember
that the need for blood is constant. Hospital use of blood products remains high due to surgeries, emergencies and care of cancer patients.
About one in seven people
entering a hospital needs blood.
People with Rh-negative
blood, including A-negative, Bnegative and O-negative, account
for just 15 percent of the population, yet their blood can be safely
transfused to the remaining 85
percent.
People with O-negative blood
are known as “universal donors,”
because their blood can be transfused into anyone. Type O-negative blood is found in just 6 percent of the population, but is used
more often by patients with other
blood types, especially in emergency rooms and trauma situations.
With the school season under
way, NJBS would like to encourage students, teachers and faculty
to please organize blood drives, a
process that teaches community
service and leadership skills, and
engages the surrounding community.
To date, approximately 600
elementary and middle schools
have sponsored Little Doctors
Program blood drives. NYBC
and NJBS also offer scholarships
for high school and college students who initiate and coordinate
successful community blood
drives.

County cautions residents to prepare
for hurricanes, storms ahead of time
Ocean County Emergency
Management officials are urging
residents to be prepared as the
height of hurricane season
approaches.
“Specific attention must be
brought to the danger of hurricanes, along with the safety precautions that should be taken
before and during a hurricane,”
said Ocean County Sheriff
William L. Polhemus. “Since
Ocean County is a coastal area
that is especially threatened by
flooding and tropical storms, the
best way to handle these situations is by being prepared.”
The hurricane season began
June 1 and lasts until the end of
November. The height of the
season typically occurs in late
August and during the month of
September.
Annual preparations for the
hurricane season include creating
or updating a disaster supply kit.
The kit should include a gallon
of drinking water per day for
each person the kit is expected to
support and a battery-powered
radio, which could become the
sole source of information during
an emergency.
In the event of a hurricane, the
National Weather Service can
usually provide up to five days of
advanced warning. However,
being prepared could save a life.
“It is so important for every
Ocean County resident and visitor to know how to handle these
emergency situations,” said
Freeholder John P. Kelly,
Director of Law and Public
Safety. “Since our population
grows dramatically in the summertime, special emphasis
should be placed on the proper
course of action during a hurricane to minimize any problems
that can occur.”
Officials urge residents to stay
alert for and follow all directions
they broadcast.
Radio stations including
WOBM 92.7-FM, WOBM
1160-AM, WJRZ 100.1-FM,
WYRS 90.7-FM, WBBO 98.5FM, WBHX 99.7-FM and
WWYZ 107.1-FM all provide
information on Ocean County.
In the event of an evacuation,
it is recommended that essential
items be brought along, including prescription drugs and any
special dietary foods.

plan with neighbors beforehand
to ensure assistance will be available. If needed, evacuation assistance can be obtained from the
local municipal office of emergency management, or the
Ocean
County
Sheriff ’s
Department,
Office
of
Emergency Management.
Registration with the local
police department is available
ahead of time for Ocean
County’s “We Care” program.
“If you or a loved one needs
special assistance during any
evacuation, such as the bedbound, sight or hearing
impaired, wheelchair-capable,
dialysis, oxygen-dependent or
other challenges, the ‘We Care’
program can assist,” Sheriff
Polhemus said.
“We advise all residents not to
wait for an official or law
enforcement officer to personally
notify you to evacuate. It is best
to give yourself enough time to
make it out safely,” said Chief
Michael Osborn, Ocean County
Emergency
Management
Deputy Coordinator. “Staying at
home could put yourself and your
family at risk of getting trapped,
making it more difficult for rescuers to reach you.”
Information on emergency
preparedness can be found on the
Ocean County Government
webpage, at www.co.ocean.nj.us,
by clicking on the “Be Prepared”
link. This is a special area on the
website dedicated to emergency
management. Residents can get
up-to-the-minute updates on
emergencies in the county
before, during and after a storm.
“This site was created to help
prepare our residents and visitors
in case of an emergency, and to
provide up-to-the-minute information should there be one,”
Chief Osborn said, “We encourage residents to visit it and keep
the address available.”
Advisories to stay alert for are
“hurricane watches” and “hurricane warnings.”
A hurricane watch is issued
when hurricane conditions are
possible within the watch area,
generally within the next 36
hours. A hurricane warning is
then announced when conditions
are expected within the warning
area, usually within the next 24
hours.
Serious storms may require a
mandatory or voluntary evacuation. Officials will not order an
evacuation unless it is absolutely
necessary.
“We recommend residents and

Opdyke Furniture
plans cocktail
party for charity
Opdyke Furniture, located at
308 Sea Ave., in Point Pleasant
Beach, will hold a cocktail party
for charity at the store, on
Wednesday, Oct. 27, from 5 to
7:30 p.m.
The party will be a fundraiser
for Providence House Domestic
Violence Services, of Whiting,
which provides victims of
domestic abuse and their children with an array of services
that include emergency shelter, a
24-hour hotline, counseling
services, a comprehensive children’s program, a parenting education program, and a program
specifically designed to assist victims age 50 and older.
Providence House’s services
are offered at no cost to the victims, who are struggling to break
free from the cycle of violence in
their homes.
Tickets to the cocktail party
cost $12, each, and 100 percent
of ticket sales goes to Providence
House Domestic Violence
Services.
Tickets can be purchased at
Opdyke Furniture.
A portion of everything sold
in the store that night will also be
donated to Providence House.
Seton McGlennon, a former Lavallette resident, participated in the Spring Lake Italian
Festival last Saturday.
Freeholder Kelly said. “Good
information and correct information is imperative when it
comes to weather emergencies.”
Local emergency management offices can provide information such as which evacuation route to take, where public
shelters are located, and which
ones accept animals.
Emergency
management
officials caution visitors and
residents from venturing outside during a hurricane.
Blowing debris can cause
serious injury, and traveling is
highly discouraged.
“Storms are extremely powerful, and being at the ocean
may seem like a fun place to be
during a hurricane, but you are
just putting yourself and others
in harm’s way,” Chief Osborn
said.
It is also recommended that
people remain sheltered after a
hurricane until an announcement has been made that it is
safe to leave.
“We also discourage use of a
telephone unless it is an emergency, in order to keep phone
lines free,” Chief Osborn said.
“Stay out of disaster areas.
Avoid driving, especially on
unstable roadways, and check
buildings for damage before reentering.”.
“Our office of emergency
management does an outstanding job in keeping residents
informed and our citizens
safe,” Freeholder Kelly said.
“We appreciate the work that is
done here.”
“Being prepared will make a
substantial difference should
an emergency strike,” Sheriff
Polhemus said.

reduced the tax,” Mr. Corbally
said. “They moved $125,000 of
income out of our budget that
was coming from visitors in a
year we furloughed our
employees and cut our Special
Police Budget in half.”
“When questioned why, not
one of the “bloc” had an
answer,” Mr. Corbally continued. “I wish they would have
given some reason, anything at
all to the many residents who
spoke at council meetings to
oppose their decision, instead,
all we got were blank stares.”
The “bloc” is comprised of
councilmen Cervino, Jeff Dyer,
Frank Rizzo and Sean
Hennessy. They earned the reputation as a bloc after they all
voted the same way for several
issues, including the reduction
of the hotel/motel tax.
“I have repeatedly stated, if
elected I will make the motion
at the first business meeting to
reinstate the full 3 percent
motel/hotel tax,” Mr. Corbally
said. “If you elect the
Democrats the tax will be
reinstated.”

raising the tax rate 3 percent for
their guests from the existing 12
percent that the state already
collects,” Mr. Corbally said.
“The $250,000 the Beach has
collected on average over the
years goes directly to offset our
resident’s tax burden. The tax is
not paid by the motel/hotel
owner. I don’t believe paying an
additional $6 on a $200 room
will cause visitors who want to
enjoy our beautiful town and
beaches to go elsewhere.”
“One of our largest motel
owners and a national manager
for a hotel chain confirmed at
our council meetings that this
tax did not, and will not, determine occupancy levels or profits,” Mr. Corbally continued.
Mr. Corbally called the
council’s decision to lower the
tax “shocking.”
“Even the state was unprepared to deal with that decision
of our Beach Council, since to
date; no other municipality had

Councilwoman Rogers said, “I

“I believe Mr. Schroeder was
an ineffective councilman and
mayor who increased property
taxes 68 percent, cut sweetheart
deals for the PBA and municipal unions off the backs of taxpayers, and did it all behind
closed doors,” the councilwoman asserted.
In regard to Mr. Schroeder’s
allegation of “gimmicks,”
Councilwoman Rogers replied,
“The Administrative Office of

of Community Affairs concur:
[Both entities] support the
mergers of [the] court and construction [departments], validating this is not gimmickery,
but solid governing and effective cost savings,” the councilwoman concluded.

Taking A Ride Over The Bridge ~ Circa 1915
(Directly Across from Arnolds Yacht Basin)
The first bridge to cross the Manasquan River between Point Pleasant Beach and Brielle was a wooden trestle
bridge with a swing draw, built in 1875. The bridge was eventually condemned at the end of its useful life, and
replaced with an iron structure with wood planking, depicted on a postcard in approximately 1915. The postcard was
submitted to The Ocean Star by the Point Pleasant Historical Society.
School group plans Locks of Love fundraiser
La Luz Salon and the Bay
Head School Foundation are
joining forces to raise lots of
hair — and money — to benefit Locks Of Love and the Bay
Head School.
Salon owner Luz ZavalaRose, who is celebrating being
in business in Bay Head for 15
years, is spearheading this
effort in memory of her sister,
Diana Claudio, who succumbed to cancer 15 years ago.
The Bay Head School
Foundation [BHSF] is proud
to partner with La Luz Salon
in offering two fantastic ways
to support the children in the
community and throughout the
United States.
First, the BHSF encourages
all of its friends, young and old,
with long hair to keep growing
it, and to let La Luz Salon give
them a shorter hair style to
start the new school year and
fall season off in style.
A blunt cut is complimentary. La Luz Salon will also
accept a donated ponytail if the
donor cuts it at home or at
another salon, as long as it is 10
inches or longer, braided and in
a sealed, Ziploc bag.
Hair that has been colored
or permed can be used, but
bleached hair cannot.
It takes six to 10 donated
ponytails to make one cranial
prosthetic hairpiece, at a cost
to Locks Of Love of $1,000.
La Luz Salon will have
appointments
throughout
September and October for
Locks Of Love haircuts, and
the salon will package and send
donated ponytails to Locks Of
Love, which is a nonprofit
organization that provides
hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children suffering
from long-term medical hair
loss from any diagnosis,
including alopecia areata.
There will be prizes for the
student [age 20 or younger]
and adult [age 21 or older] who
donate the longest locks.
Second, save the date, as the
BHSF invites the adults to celebrate the success of its Locks
of Love Campaign at a cocktail
party on Oct. 24, from 4 to 7
p.m., at the New Jersey
Museum of Boating, located at
1800 Bay Ave., in nearby Point
Pleasant.
There will be a live and
silent auction, with proceeds
benefiting Locks Of Love and
the
Bay
Head
School
Foundation, both 501[c]3 nonprofit, charitable organizations.

from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. on
Saturday, Oct. 16.
The event is intended for
persons who are in need during
these difficult economic times,
and is similar to a rummage
sale, except that there is no
charge for any of the items.
Participants may come and
browse through the hundreds of
items of men’s, women’s and
children’s clothing, household
goods, and even toys, in order to
find what they need. Items have
been donated by both church
and community members of the
Bay Head, Point Pleasant and
Point Pleasant Beach area.
“If you can use it, take it,”
said Jane Marion, Missions
Chair of St. Paul’s. She continued, “For those in our communities who may be in need as we
move into the fall season, we’re
giving new life to gently used
goods — warm clothing, blankets, linens, household items
and more. Come and take what
you can use, absolutely free.”
During the first “Give It New
Life Giveaway” in 2009, dozens
of people in the surrounding
communities, including the
homeless community, attended
the event.
“This is a wonderful way for
folks to give back to the community, to minister to those in

DEAR COLOR GUY,
I really need your help! About two weeks ago I went to a salon to have my salt and
pepper hair highlighted. I do not know what went wrong but when I left the salon
my hair was all one color BROWN. That is not at all what I had in mind. I do not
know where I went wrong in my explanation of what I was looking for but I know I
never asked for one color hair. Now my big concern is how do I get back to something that resembles my natural hair color. I also am a little bit worried about the
condition of my hair.I had never done anything to it before and now I’m dying it and
who knows what else.
Muddy in Bayville
Dear Muddy, never fear I am sure we can help you. First let’s fix your problem
then we will go on to how it may have happened. I am hoping that when you
say Brown you are talking about light brown. I think what I would do is give you
some highlights really light ones especially around the face so you felt more like
yourself. Make sure that the highlights are light enough I mean lighter than the
inside of a lemon otherwise the hair will look too yellow to your eye. Then to
give it that sort of platinum or gray look we could go with a toner and then shampoo with a platinum based shampoo. Regarding the condition of your hair it definitely is going to be different now. Make sure you use some nice deep conditioners to keep the hair shiny and flexible. It really is the stylist’s job to elicit from
the customer what they would like to look like. That can be done with the consultation or interview as soon as you meet. The stylist should have some books
or photo album or photographs of some sort so that you both understand what
the other means what they say short, red, streaked or dark. That being said I
think it is a wise customer that spends a little bit of time looking for photographs
of how they would like their hair to look. I’m going to be brutally honest, you are
the one who is going to wear this new hair color, and if it is wrong you are the
one who is going to suffer. So since you have the most to win or lose in this
transaction take the bull by the horns and be proactive in the salon by having
some information with you. By the way if your hair is really dark there is no easy
fix.

Smith said during Saturday’s
tour.
“We just say, ‘No, we’re full,’”
she laughed.
The couple just bought the
home in May, and it was a rush
to furnish it in time for the
tour, Mrs. Smith said.
The Smiths and their four
young children will spend part
of the year in Haddonfield, and
part at their home in Bay
Head.
“I tried to stay as local as
possible” when purchasing the
furniture, said Mrs. Smith,
who said she visited various
antique shops in the area.
The Smiths had a special
connection to the Bay Head
Gables as well, having stayed
there after they were married.
Mrs. Smith is originally from
south Mantoloking.
Just one notable feature of
the Main Avenue home is its
1,500-square-foot front porch.
At 11 a.m. sharp, many visitors were already bustling
about inside the Smiths’ home.
Mrs. Smith said she was
expecting to welcome about
Taking The Tour
450 people into her home that
day.
“All the homeowners are
very gracious,” Mrs. Shippee
said.
The Bay Head Historical
Society also held an old-fashioned picnic at the museum on
Saturday.
The museum, built in 1867
and rescued in 1995 by the Bay
Head Historical Society, is
located at 1643 Bay Ave., on
the corner of Bridge Avenue, at
the base of the Lovelandtown
Bridge, on the border of Point
Pleasant and Bay Head.
During the picnic, historical
society members served up hot
dogs, hamburgers, side dishes,
drinks and desserts to hungry
house tour participants.
For the price of admission
to the tour, visitors were also
invited to enter the museum
and view the current exhibit,
“World
War
II:
Remembered,” a display of
artifacts, photos, uniforms,
memorabilia and personal stories commemorating the 65th
anniversary of the end of
World War II.
Proceeds from Saturday’s
event will go to the historical
society, which will use the
funds for the upkeep and
development of the Historical
Society Museum, which services Bay Head, Mantoloking
and the Lovelandtown section
of Point Pleasant.

A Grand Old Time At The Picnic
Correction
In a letter to the editor that
appeared in last week’s paper, an
author wrote that Point
Pleasant Beach Mayor Vincent
R. Barrella voted against the
2010 Point Pleasant Beach
municipal budget.
In fact, the mayor never cast
a vote on the budget.
In Point Pleasant Beach, the
mayor does not vote unless he is
needed to break a council tie.
At the July 27 meeting where
the municipal budget was
adopted, the first vote on the
proposed budget split the council 3-3. When the mayor was
asked to break the tie, he
abstained.
On the second budget vote
that evening, the council voted
4-2 to approve the budget.

family and for Point Pleasant Beach. As I think
most of you could imagine, this causes a vast array
of emotions, not the least of which is anger and disbelief.
At a time when New Jersey’s residents complain
about corrupt politicians that look out only for
themselves, I have a hard time imagining a more
ideal politician than my father, that is, at least, for
the people. To begin with, he’s the most honest person I know. He’s also undeniably passionate [something that those who don’t know him mistake for
arrogance] and he always seeks to do the right
thing. He is a man of his convictions and has never
backed down from fighting for what he felt was
best, no matter the intimidation, lies, and nastiness
that some would attempt to use to stop him.
He has given a great deal of himself, his time,
and his money to preserve the integrity of the position of mayor, and so that he can continue to fight
to preserve a town he cares deeply about. Yes, Mr.
Bilotti, he has gotten nothing from it beyond his
$6,500 a year salary, although from what I know, I
can understand why that might be hard for Mr.
Bilotti to believe.
Admittedly, my father can also be combative,
headstrong and, at times, condescending [all of
these adjectives have been used to describe many of
this nation’s past leaders, as well as our current
Governor]. However, anyone who has taken the
time to speak to him, without a preconceived
notion, knows that he is, above all, well intentioned.
The last 2 years [?] have been difficult on all of
us, especially my mother. She has struggled to be
supportive, to not be angry, and has, from time to
time, been left in tears. Anyone who has a mother
can understand where my anger would come from
then.
My father is extremely loyal and it has not been
easy for him to balance his loyalty to the town, and
his desire to make his family happy. It is hard for me
to understand why he would want to continue to
serve those who would slander him, attempt to have
him thrown out of office, and hurt those he loves.
However, my father, in the face of all that has happened, and continues to happen, is fighting to finish his term and continue working for the best
interest of the people of Point Beach because it is
what he said he’d do.
While, at times, I don’t know that I believe Point
Beach deserves my father, I know that Point Beach
needs my father. He is the best man to do what
needs to be done in these difficult times.

KRIS TOOKER WILL HELP PROTECT THE
INTERESTS OF POINT BEACH
On a recent trip to borough hall in Point Pleasant
Beach, I walked past the violations bureau. The
lights were out, no one was behind the counter, and
there was a note taped to the window. The note was
to advise interested parties that court operations
were now located in Point Pleasant. I was at once
struck by the sad reality of this recent development.
How did this situation come about? A politician
from a neighboring town, Sue Rogers, thought it
was a good idea. It would also look good on her
political resume. The “bloc” in Point Beach were
supportive, even though the residents voiced their
concern. They not only allowed her to rape and pillage our municipal building, they unlocked the village gate and let her in.
I believe next on Sue Rogers’ to-do list is our “in
the black” building department, which leaves one
wondering what’s next? Sanitation? Police services?
Kris Tooker voted against consolidation of the
building department, and is against any shared service that does not benefit our town. Mayor Barrella
also tried to protect our interests by questioning
what was to become of our court’s new video equipment. This concept was scoffed at by the “bloc”,
even though one would ask as much of a neighbor
borrowing a lawnmower.
As to the rush job of combining things, one may
wonder how that’s working out. Our court administrator Michelle Sargent said that she was, “standing on a mountain of paperwork,” and that the
courts were “backlogged and short-staffed.” Perhaps
in hindsight, this hastily-arranged merger was not
such a good idea. I don’t know about the rest of you,
but I am bothered by Ms. Rogers using our town as
a stepping stone. I am bothered by an official that I
did not have the option of voting for, who does not
represent me, yet is making major decisions on the
day-to-day operations of our town.
As I stated earlier, it’s election time. Who can we
count on to protect the interests of Point Pleasant
Beach? The answer is Kris Tooker. She has consistently refused to give in to political pressure and
votes independently. She has voted against controversial issues including the hotel reduction tax,
increased water and sewer rates, and the attempted
hiring of a public safety director. She has voted
against these issues because she listens to the residents’ concerns and truly wants what is best for our
town.

from this year’s run will be used to fund extracurricular activities, clubs, enhancements for the classroom, curriculum and school grounds, buy sports
equipment and pay for class trips. We were very fortunate to have great weather and we had a record
turnout of runners. We could not have been successful without the support of the Bay Head Police
Department, the Bay Head Fire Company, Bay
Head Town Council, Point Pleasant Beach First
Aid, Bay Head School parents and teachers, and the
members of our community.
I would also like to thank our sponsors: The
Hesse Companies, Conover Beyer Associates,

Hartshorn Portraiture, Bridge Mental Health,
Dearborn Builders, Joe Leone’s Italian Specialties,
Seaview Orthopaedic & Medical Associates, Bay

Wellness Program to launch our first annual Fall
Festival. We hope everyone had a great time and
look forward to seeing you all again next October.
Thank you again to all who generously donated
their time to volunteer or attend our event. We truly
could not have had such a successful day without
you!

The Lady Panthers clinched
the C Central Division with a win
over Jackson Liberty last
Thursday, Oct. 7. Five days later,
on Oct. 12, the Point Beach Lady
Gulls won the B Central public
school divisional championship at
Holmdel Park.
Both

teams
had
respectable scores in the events, as
well.
The Point Boro Lady Panthers
won their division with a key performance against Jackson Liberty,

may be rivals, but girls
cross country teams
from both schools
have a few things in
common: raw talent,
desire to win
at home at Ocean County Park,
with a final score of 19-42.
Anne Skimmons placed first,
with a time of 18:47. Carly Martz
was just behind Skimmons, in
18:59, and Taylor Biggs placed
fourth, with a 21:01 finish.
Destiny Newman — neck and
neck with Biggs until the end of
the race — finished at 21:02, in
fifth place.
The Boro’s Susan Walsh
clocked in at 21:20, earning her a
seventh-place finish. Elizabeth
Davis finished eighth, in 21:29.
Brittney Cotta rounded out the
Panthers pack in 21:54, which
was good for ninth place.
“Our team has had the fastest
time, as a team, in the past 13
years,” remarked coach Jim
Greenwood, who could not say
enough about how the Lady
Panthers performed last week.
To maintain the Lady Panthers’
success as the cross-country season heads into the pivotal final
stretch, Greenwood has reduced
the team’s mileage and is focusing
on speed.
“You don’t need to run as many
miles at this point [in] the season,” Greenwood said. “You need
quality miles. We have three
speed days a week and have quality runs,” rather than running for
distance.

Curtis said. “The last time

Panthers unable to defeat top-ranked Crimson Knights

WALL — The Point

Friday.

played a physical style of soccer
in attempt to frustrate the Wall

Kelsey Haycook had trouble
trying to find her way around
the Crimson Knights’ Kelly

from scoring during the game.
Mitchell was looking forward

The Panthers’ leading scorer Kelsey Haycook had trouble

to facing the tough, aggressive
Haycook, who is very strong on
the ball and difficult to stop
once she is moving forward
towards the goal.
“I was staying on her for the
most part,’’ said Mitchell. “She
is really good, so it was kind of a
challenge, but I liked it. I had a
lot of work to do.’’
Mitchell got plenty of help. If
Haycook got a step on Mitchell,
or looked to have an opening,
someone on the Crimson
Knights defense — Bri
Cummings, Morgan Thomasian
or Taylor Knier — was ready to
move in to help Mitchell.
The Panthers defense played
well in the first half, and the
Crimson Knights could not
quite get any shots past Panther
goalie Lauren Hughes.
Becky Dinis had a shot saved
off a Bre Collazo feed, and
Hughes would later stop a curving shot by Mariah McKevitt in
the first half. Sam Marchetti
would send a header just over
the crossbar late in the first half,
and Mitchell would be stopped
on a lined shot off a run.
The Crimson Knights would
come out on fire in the second
half and quickly connect on
offense.
Wall’s Sam Leyh made a
strong run through the middle
of the Panthers defense before
finishing off the play with a low,
curving shot from 25 yards out
to give Wall a 1-0 lead with
39:07 left in the second half.
Wall would take a 2-0 lead six
minutes
later.
Bridgette
Corbran would pick up a loose
ball, stealing it from the
Panthers defense to create a
breakaway.
The junior would show plenty of poise in front of the goal,
coolly slipping a shot past
Hughes to finish off the breakaway, giving Wall a two-goal
advantage.
Bre Collazo would nearly give
the Crimson Knights a threegoal advantage, but Hughes
remained solid and made a diving save on the shot midway
through the second half.
Haycook was limited by the
Wall defense, but had her best
opportunity when the senior
forward pounced on a loose ball
when Wall failed to make a
clean clear.
Haycook broke alone on goal,
but Crimson Knights goalie
Cristina Gacos came off her
line, cut off the angle and
stopped Haycook’s point-blank
shot.
Boro head coach Mike Edolo
was disappointed with the
result, but happy with the team’s
hard work during the game.
“I was happy with our effort,”
said Edolo. “I thought we played
well against a very organized,
good team. Both teams worked
extremely hard and fought for
every ball.”
Edolo believed the team’s
simple mistakes caused the
Panthers to fall short.
“At the end of the day we
made a few mistakes and they
capitalized,” he explained.
“They made a few mistakes and
we didn’t capitalize. But that is
soccer. You have to take advantages of the opportunities when
they present themselves.”
The Point Boro Panthers’
next game will be away Oct.

Panthers fall to Wall Knights in key C Central match, 4-1
By Greg Domorski
In a pivotal division match
between the Point Boro
Panthers and Wall Crimson
Knights at Al Saner Stadium,
both teams were vying to control their own destiny for the
divisional
race.

C CENTRAL DIVISION competitive passion on the field was more than
evident on the faces of both
teams’ players, and the Panthers
were more focused than ever on
delivering a win in their own
backyard.
The last time the Point Boro
Panthers and the Wall Crimson
Knights met was Sept. 22 at
Wall, where the Panthers lost 21 in a nail-biter. The Panthers,
eager for revenge, entered
Thursday’s game determined,
but were unable to register a win
against the Crimson Knights.
Throughout the game, Wall
was tremendously aggressive in
pressuring the ball, troubling the
Panthers, who had to adjust to
the team’s style of play. The
Goalkeeper Ed Moran made spectacular saves in the Panthers’ home game against the Wall
Crimson Knights this past week, though Point Boro lost 4-1.

Brian Tracey scored the second
goal of the game from a Tyler
Becht rebound in the 14th
minute, to extend the score 2-0
to the chagrin of shocked
Panther players and fans.
The Panthers desperately
looked to find their way back in
the game with keen athletic
prowess.
Claudio Graziano had a near
strike as he shot the ball off the
left post in the 21st minute of
the game. The Panthers used
this momentum to climb back
in the highly-contested match,
when Andrew Fixter kicked a
lead pass to Colin Fixter.
Colin Fixter kicked the ball
over the goal keeper to the far
side of the net in the 22nd
minute, to cut the lead 2-1.
Tori Remondelli tried to
answer with an opportunity
down the left sideline in the
39th minute, but his shot barely
shaved the post, drawing a sigh
from the crowd. As the half
ended, the Crimson Knights
celebrated the one-goal lead, as
the team was out shooting the
Panthers 6-3, 40 minutes into
play.
With the game still belonging
to either team, the Panthers and
Knights reunited on the field to
start the second half, both intent
to come out on top.
Unfortunately, the Panthers
continued to struggle in the second half and were unable to hit
the back of the net.
Tori Remondelli crossed the
ball to Graziano, who shot it
toward the goal while in the
center of the pitch during the
58th minute. The ball was
blocked by Wall’s goalkeeper,
Zach Zoller.
The
Crimson
Knights
remained hot, when Tyler Becht
kicked the ball around Moran
and walked the ball into the net,
scoring in the 75th minute to
extend the lead 3-1.
Within scoring proximity,
Lou Pazienza was next to strike
for the Panthers, but his shot
went right over the right crossbar, causing him to put his hand
on his head after missing out on
the opportunity.
Wall's Mike Lyons was the
last to score in the 78th minute
for a 4-1 lead, ending the
Panthers’ hope for a comeback
victory.
Throughout the game, the
Panthers were without their key
senior, Bryan Brodeur, out with
a hamstring injury. He suffered
the injury at the end of the first
half of the Panthers’ previous
game against the Manasquan
Warriors, where he had two
goals.
Brodeur has been in rehabilitation, working out and visiting
specialists. His timetable to a
full recovery is from one week to
one month.
The Crimson Knights played
without forward James Walsh,
who has been suffering an ongoing ankle injury, which has
affected him most of the season.
Even coming up short,
Panthers head coach Pete
Casalino never questioned the
heart of the team.
“They always play hard,” said
coach Casalino. “But at this
point, we don’t take any moral
victories away. We play well to
win, but it just didn’t happen
today.”
Acknowledging the current
record status of 7-4-0, 6-2-0,
coach Casalino is confident the
team still has plenty of goals
ahead.
“[Winning the division] was
one of our goals coming in the
season and now it doesn’t look
like it’s going to happen, [but if ]
we can do well in the state and
Shore Conference Tournament,
I will be happy,” he explained.
The game ended with Wall
outshooting the Point Borough
Panthers 12-7, in a disappointing game result for the Panthers
team.
The Panthers kept up with
the Crimson Knights, but their
opportunities were nowhere
near as favorable. The Crimson
Knights were assertive yet
patient, waiting for the right
opportunity to strike in front of
the net for the victory.
Point Boro’s next match will
be away against Lakewood on
Saturday.

Point Beach Garnet Gulls take down Asbury Park
— FROM PAGE 39 —
Asbury Park.
Midfielder Nick Kaifais had
an early chance to put a goal on
the scoreboard, but his strike
grazed over the crossbar.
The Bishops were unable to
find their offense during the
game, causing
confusion
between the players on the
field. This somewhat derailed
the Bishops’ team efforts, forcing them to play as isolated
individuals, instead of one solid
unit.
The Bishops also clearly
lacked discipline, as the team
was called no less than five
times for a dangerous play,
wherein Bishops players kicked
their legs up higher than chest
level, instantly causing the referees to blow their whistles and
stop play to prevent a possible
injury.
Not giving up focus, the
Garnet Gulls maintained their
composure and continued an
unwavering attack on the
Asbury Park net.
Point Beach junior forward
Dan DePolo nearly scored on a
header at the end of the first
half, but the Asbury Park goalkeeper plucked the ball out of
the air for the save.
The Asbury Park defense
finally cracked in the 28th
minute, when Josh Peterson
crossed to Kaifais, who kicked
the ball in the right side of the
net to give the Gulls a 1-0 lead.
Beach coach Adam Curtis
was ecstatic with the goal, and
and believes his team’s barrage
of early attempts strategically
stretched the field horizontally,
leading players into open
space.
“I knew coming into this
game we had to play wide,”
said Curtis. “We had a good
game plan, and we kept on
hammering them.”
Gulls forward Peterson controlled the outside of the pitch
for the duration of the game,
with intuitive, skilled play.
In the second half, Peterson
raced down the left side and
kicked the ball at the goal, but
the shot ricocheted off the
post.
Kaifais controlled the ball
off the rebound and shot again,
but it was blocked.
With a wide-open net, none
of the Gull forwards were able
to come up with the ball on the
rebound, so Asbury Park
cleared the ball to safety.

opportunities, but was unable
to find the net the entire
match, and remained an offensive threat.
The Gulls’ main offensive
weapon was freshman forward
Morgan LaDuca, who executed
swift, decisive moves down the
sidelines. The St. Rose defense
roadblocked her way to the
center of the pitch.
This led Beach’s forward
Nicole Meyer to take the
majority of shots on goal.
She attempted a one-timer
on the left side of the net that
barely missed the far side of the
goal, early in the first half.
The bulk of Meyer’s shots in
the first half were blocked by
St. Rose goalkeeper Alyssa
Ciano, who had six saves in
game.
With Meyer pounding the
ball at the goal, Beach was
unable to crash the net on the
rebound.
St. Rose worked together as a
team inside the box on defense,
and was able to find the more
favorable opportunities in the
first half.
St. Rose scored in the 24th
minute, when freshman forward Lauren Gates kicked a
lead pass to Kraft, who was able
to kick the ball off the side of
her foot and find the back of
the net,to give St. Rose a crucial 1-0 lead.
“I played the ball between
two defenders, and the goalie
[Cora Wallace] came out,”
explained Kraft. “I just hit the
ball in the net.”
At the end of the first half,
with the clock ticking away,
Kraft crossed to Gates, who
kicked the ball right off the
post. Canning controlled the
rebound, but her attempt was
too strong, as the ball traveled
over the net.
In the second half, both
teams altered their style of play.
The Purple Roses concentrated
on their defense while the
scrappy Gulls did everything
possible to get on the board.
Point Beach coach Shaun
Burstein added more firepower
to the Gulls offense by moving
Maggie Loundy from sweeper
to midfielder, but the St. Rose
defense remained impermeable.
Led by Madeline Miksic and
Sarah Price, the St. Rose
defense caused problems for
Point Beach toward the end of
the game, preventing the Lady
Gulls from capitalizing on any
opportunities.
Miksic had a near miss, and
St. Rose kicked the ball over
the crossbar on the rebound.
St. Rose’s best chance to tack
on an insurance goal came in
the middle of the second half,
when Schall took a shot that
Wallace blocked.
Canning attempted the
rebound, but Wallace batted
the ball away for a second
straight time.
As the game concluded,
Burstein expressed frustration
with the loss.

Point Beach freshman forward Morgan LaDuca battled St. Rose midfielder Michaela
Maguire for the ball in a competitive game on Tuesday that saw the two teams fight tooth and
nail for every loose ball.
“It is disappointing,” the
coach said. “ We worked hard
all season, and fell one goal
short.”
When the two teams met
earlier this season, one goal
made the difference, as the
Beach upset the traditional
Shore Conference powerhouse
2-1, in the 85th minute of overtime.
Instead of dwelling on the
past, Burstein is setting his
sights on the team’s future.
“It is still halfway into the
season, and we will be back,” he
said.
The coach said he is eager to
get back to work, and correct a
few of the mistakes the team
made against St. Rose.
“The best thing is to get back
to practice,” he said, about
overcoming a disappointing
loss. “We will take this licking
and learn from it. We win as a
team and lose as a team. We
need to get back to the drawing
board.”
Despite the loss, Burstein
was pleased with the effort,
noting his team played hard
every minute of the game.
“I am proud of how we have
played,” Burstein said. “Nobody
expected us to do this well this
season.”
Point Beach was scheduled
to take on Raritan at home yesterday afternoon, in a game too
late to be covered in this edition

Beach’s Feerst looking to second state title
This week, Brianna Feerst
placed first in a tri-meet with
a time of 19.20, leading the
Garnet Gulls to a highlysought public school divisional championship. Throughout
her high school career, she has
dominated her opponents in
cross country meets, and continues to have lofty goals for
the remainder of the season.
“I won the state sectional
and state finals last year, and I
hope to do that again this

throughout the state of New

Feerst clearly understands
the commitment of a state

G u l l s
team who
went 1-9 last season?
The Gull faithful can only
hope the team will be able to
turn the page and fix mistakes.
To overcome a loss of severe
magnitude, the Gulls will look
to eliminate the distressing
scoreboard image and find new
motivation, as a lack of passion
was displayed against Keyport.
The Garnet Gulls remembered the Xs and Os in the playbook, but suffered from a limited amount of heart. The
Keyport Red Raiders, a team
that mixed speed and old-fashioned, hard-hitting football,
performed a numerous amount
of de-cleaters on the Garnet
Gulls throughout the game,
who frequently limped off the
field.
“For some reason I do not
think we came to play today,”
said Garnet Gulls head coach
Steve Sasse. “It was a day where
STEVE WEXLER, The Ocean Star
Point Beach running back Andrew Barnes attempted to
take down the Keyport defense with his downhill running
ability on Saturday’s game. The Gulls fell to the Red Raiders,
55-0.
everything we prepare for we
did on offense and defense, but
we just did not play well.”
The Gulls’ play struggled
offensively throughout the game
as Point Beach punted the ball
seven times and threw one
interception.
Quarterback
Taylor Fioretti was sacked seven
times, and was constantly pres-
sured by the Red Raiders
defense, which surged through
the offensive line like water
gushing through a collapsing
dam.
The Keyport offense was
explosive. In its first series, running back Jordon Edmonds
stormed up the middle for the
first touchdown of the game to
put the Red Raiders on top 7-0.
Next, Edmonds ran over the
Gulls defense for 18 yards
down the sideline for six more.
D.J. Miraglotti kicked the
point after touchdown to
extend the lead to 14-0.
As the Gulls tried to reinstate a new sense of urgency to
contain the Raiders and put
together much needed points in
the end zone, the Raiders
proved to be a continuous
unstoppable force.
The Raiders kept up the
pounding when quarterback
Cryus Williams passed to Mike
Konish for a 21-0 lead. Mike
Konish followed by tearing
down the field, running for a
67-yard
punt
return.
Afterward, Williams connected
with Konish for 42 yards as the
clock was ticking away to halftime for a 35-0 lead.
Point Beach’s lone top
offense play came at the end of
the second half from Fioretti,
who ran the ball on a fake punt
for 42 yards, jetting down the
left sideline. The team did not
have a first down until 5:25 was
left in the second quarter.
With looks of disbelief at
halftime gracing his player’s
faces, coach Sasse knew he had
to motivate the Gulls team,
which continued to fall behind
in the game.
“What I tried to do is get
them to play harder and try to
have a little more intestinal fortitude,” he said, of his speech at
halftime.
The Gulls emerged out of
the second half screaming with
new-found motivation and a
renewed sense of priorities,
knowing they would be up
against not only the Raiders,
but the clock.
With the Point Beach
Garnet Gulls down 35 points
in the second half, it enabled
the New Jersey State Athletic
Association mercy rule. This
rule states that when a team is
down 35 points or more in the
second half, it causes the clock
to run the remainder of the
game . The clock will only be
stopped for a timeout.
With the newly-inspired
Gulls team taking gridiron
position
after
halftime,
momentum and key play action
continued to elude their efforts
as they tried to create gamechanging opportunities. The
relentless Red Raiders kept
hammering the Gulls, not
allowing the Beach to capitalize
on its re-energized mood.
The Red Raiders scored 20
more straight points as the
Gulls continued to struggle.
Rich Smith ran between the
tackles for one yard to give the
Red Raiders a 42-0 lead.
Williams ran the ball for one
yard to the end zone on a quarterback sneak to give Keyport
the 49-point lead. The Red
Raiders finally stopped laying
the wood after Kegly ran for a
54-yard touchdown to end the
scoring total at 55-0.
With the Garnet Gulls
demoralized from the loss,
coach Sasse believes the team
needed to work hard this week,
to rebound and remain competitive
“We have to work harder,”
said coach Sasse. “That is how
you overcome adversity in any
sport.”
The Garnet Gulls needed
this win against the Red
Raiders after losing to Asbury
Park at home on Sept. 24.
The game was pivotal toward
Shore Conference B Central
division standings, with Asbury
Park and Keyport on top at
numbers one and two, respectively.
With losing to the top two
teams in the league, the team
will need help from teams
around the league for contention at a divisional title. The
Gulls will look to get back over
the .500 mark by playing
Middlesex High School, today,

Field. In
this playoff warm-up game, the
Elks posted an impressive 31-12
win against the Hornets, bringing their record to 7-0.
Once again, the Elks showed
a dominant running game led by
Antonio
Garcia,
Joe
Wegrzyniak, Gavin Hynes and
Jake Fioretti. The offensive line
opened holes in the Hornets
defense throughout the contest.
The Elks squib-kicked the
opening kickoff and recovered
the ball in Hornets territory.
After surrendering the ball on
downs, Fioretti intercepted a
Hornet pass at the Elks’ 46.
The offense took over from
there with power running and
short passing. The drive was
capped by a swing pass to
Wegrzyniak for a 30-yard
touchdown. Wegrzyniak added
the extra point kick, and the
Elks led 8-0.
The Hornets scored on a long
run on the next possession to
bring the score to 8-6.
On the kickoff, Wegrzyniak
deflated the Hornets’ hopes
with a 76 return through the
middle of the Hornets return
team, untouched for a touchdown. He added the extra point
kick and the Elks led for good,
16-6, with 3 minutes remaining
in the second quarter.
The Elks regained possession
and ground out a time-consuming drive led by the tough-up
middle running of Garcia and
Hynes. Tight end Jake Vitale
also added a reception near the
goal line to keep the drive alive.
Fioretti finished off the scoring for the first half with a quarterback keeper from the five,
over the right side of the Elks
line. Wegrzyniak added his
third extra-point kick and the
Elks led 24-6 at the half.
The Elks defense continued
to dominate the Hornets in the
second half and shut down drive
after drive. The Elks’ scoring
was capped by Fioretti’s second
touchdown, and the score stood
at 31-6 with about four minutes
left in the third period.
The Hornets showed heart by
finally mustering some offense
late in the fourth quarter with a
swing pass and long touchdown
run. That finished off the scoring for the game at 31-12 Elks.
The Elks will open the

MITEY-MITE PURPLE
The past Sunday morning,
the Golden Elks Mitey-Mite
Purple team traveled to Jackson
and played four quarters of
hard-hitting football.
The
score was not recorded in the
game due to the contest being
held at the instructional level.
Leading the charge up the
middle for the Golden Elks was
fullback Conner Smith, who set
the tempo quickly, running for
30 yards on his first carry. He
pounded for another 10 yards on
his next two carries.
Robert Rothery ran the ball
into the end zone from the 10yard line for the first score of the
day due to a great lead block
from offensive tackle Marcus
Kellerman.
At the start of the second
half, Elks halfback Christian
Aurin picked up 15 yards on an
outside. Then, it was Rothery
who ran for a 35-yard touchdown run.
The Elks defensive line consisting of Chris Boud, Jake
Magley, Cale Langan, Parker
Roncin and Marcus Kellerman,
tore apart the Jaguars offense by
wreaking havoc in the back
field.
“This group may have had
their best game yet,” explained
Elks head coach Joe Mayfield.
In the fourth quarter, the Elks
went to the air led by quarterback Jake Madden, taking the
Elks down the field on consecutive completions. His longest
pass of the day was 35 yards to
Rothery.
With the Jaguars threatening
to score again, the Elks defense
remained relentless, causing the
Jaguars to turn the ball over on
downs.
On the Jaguars’ next possession with time running out, the
team attempted to attack
through the air, but an interception from the Golden Elks linebacker Smith finished the game.
“This was another great job
from every player in the team.

“Alicia Guillemette is rounding into form as a first-year

teams go pink for good cause
Michelle Mayfield, whose
son, Michael, plays for the
Golden Elks Mighty Might
Purple Team, recently started
Pink Laces, a new effort to raise
money for the Susan G. Komen
Breast Cancer Foundation,
which raises money for breast
cancer research.
All Golden Elk Pop Warner
teams are wearing pink laces on
their cleats during games to promote breast cancer awareness,
through the end of the season.
Mayfield said local Pop
Warner coaches have already
started to jump on the bandwagon by purchasing pink
apparel to support the cause.
At games, the Golden Elks
have buckets on hand for spectators to make donations to the
foundation.
If members of the community
cannot attend a Golden Elks
game, but would still like to
donate, they may mail checks to
2119 Kenneth Road, in Point
Pleasant. For those mailing
donations, please make checks
payable to Golden Elks Pop
Warner [GEPW].
The Point Boro football team
has also joined the fight against
breast cancer, according to head
coach Calvin Thompson.
“We are going to make a
donation,” he said.
The Panthers will meet with
Golden Elks representatives in a
check presentation ceremony
scheduled for Oct. 17, at the G.
Harold Antrim Elementary
School, in Point Pleasant Beach.
“We will be there on the
17th,” Thompson said. “We
tape our shoes [to provide ankle
support], but we are looking for
some pink wristbands [to wear
during games].”
The Garnet Gulls Football
team will also join the fight
against cancer, and will be wearing pink laces on their cleats
during their games in October.
The Point Pleasant Boro boys
soccer team will also be wearing
pink laces, according to
Mayfield.
One hundred percent of all
proceeds from the teams’
fundraisers will go directly to
the Susan G. Komen Breast
Cancer Foundation.

FISHING TIPS
Bass, blues and false albacore
exploded on the inshore scene this
past week, as good weather, calm
seas, and plenty of bait had these
fish in a feeding frenzy.
For the blues and albies, some of
the best action was right outside
Manasquan Inlet in 50 to 60 feet
of water. The best action for the
striped bass was up at the
Shrewsbury Rocks.
A lot of sand eels and anchovies
have moved inshor,e and these two
baits have been the impetus driving the action. The action, however, is almost entirely by boat, as little is happening in the surf.
Greg over at Brielle Bait and
tackle reported: “Big bunches of
blues and stripers are working off
the coast, from Point Pleasant
north to Belmar. The boat and surf
guys are both catching them.
“On the boats, guys are jigging
blues and stripers with 4- and 6ounce diamond jigs, butterfly jigs
and 5-ounce Sting-Os. Also on
the boats, clams are the bait of
choice for stripers. The blues are
hitting all of the above.
“In the surf, most of the striper
action is on clams and swimming
plugs. We had good reports this
week from the Point Pleasant surf
north to Spring Lake. Black
Bombers, Danny plugs, and pencil
poppers are all working well. Most
of the fish are from 25 to 35 inches long.
“A teaser rig is recommended in
the surf, because there are tons of
sand eels around. The bass and
blues are all spitting up sand eels
when they are caught.
“The Manasquan River has
some nice striper action, as well.
Bass are being caught on sandworms and Fin-S. A few weakies,
spots, and tog are being caught
throughout the river, as well.
“Chris Clancy, of Point
Pleasant, fished on some of the
local wrecks, and he brought home
a 3-pound, 1-ounce sea bass. Since
sea bass closes this week, the local
party boats will be concentrating
on blues, ling, porgies, stripers and
tog.”
Wayne over at Hoffman’s
Marina in Brielle reported:
“Finally, some decent weather, and
fishing on all fronts is improving.
“Striper fishing is starting early,
with a bite at the Shrewsbury
Rocks, then the bluefish come in
and shut it down. They’re taking
bunker spoons, umbrella rigs, sand
eel with burgundy color. Shads
would work, but the bluefish

“Saturday, they had stripers 1.5
miles off Bay Head on the umbrella rigs. Sea bass has been good on
the reefs, with more blackfish
showing up. In another month,
they will be in full swing with the
stripers.
“Falsies and bonito are still
being trolled over the lumps and, at
times, along the beach. Mahi were
trolled in the Slough and Little
Italy, and Monster Ledge.
“Speaking of the Ledge, now is
a good time for makos. With
what’s going on with these treehuggers, who knows what next
season will bring.
“Bluefins are still out there in
the same areas, and now at least
you can get out there. On
Wednesday, Tikki Tembo was out
there, and had an 80-pound
bluefin and trolled up three others
on ballyhoo on the way back.
Then, the wind kicked up and they
had a fun ride back to the barn.
“The week ahead looks good
weather-wise so, hopefully, we will
get some consistent action in the
canyon.”

last year’s. “ We graduated
three seniors last season, and
it was a lot more difficult this
year. Last year, we knew we
could win, but this year, we
really had to work for it.”
The Garnet Gulls boys
team also competed in the
quad meet and finished second to last, ahead of Asbury
Park, who did not have
enough runners to compete.
The Gulls have consistently improved this season,
despite falling short of a division title.
Elliot Tombs had the top
time for the Gulls, at 21:27.
Luke Luccioni was the second Gull finisher, clocking in
in 21:47. Conor Laterza
crossed the finish line at the
22:34 mark. James Giordano
finished in 22:45, and Matt
Finlay was next, with a 23:53
finish. Brian Wall posted a
24:49 time.
“The boys’ times keep on
getting better and improve
every race,” said Gulls head
coach Linda Feerst.

High School Volleyball 2010
Point Beach Garnet Gulls defeat Barnegat, focus on postseason
By Greg Domorski
volleyball team was eliminated
from divisional contention after
their 1-2 loss to Manchester on
Oct. 6.
However, despite being
knocked
out of the
VOLLEYBALL
divisional
Point Beach 2 race, the
Barnegat
0 Garnet
Gulls are
B-CENTRAL DIVISION
continuing
to
cause damage throughout the
conference. This past Monday,
Point Beach took away
Barnegat’s chance for a divisional title by defeating the Bengals
in two sets, with the scores being
25-20 and 25-18.
The last time the Gulls and
Bengals met was on Sept. 22.
The Gulls lost in three close sets
of 25-22, 21-25, 22-25.
Against the Bengals on
Monday, Crescitelli had a kill.
Sarah Beresik had three kills,
four digs and two aces.
Mackenzie Donald had eight
kills and two aces. Kirby Given
had a solid overall game with six
digs, six aces and a block. Lauren
Sharkey, the team’s setter, led the
team in assists with 10.
Entering the game, Crescitelli
claimed the Gulls have learned
about the Barnegat Bengal’s
style of play.
“We knew who all their good
players are and who to stay away
from,” Crescitelli said.
This win has given the Garnet
Gulls confidence as the team
prepares for the state and Shore
Conference tournaments.
The team finishes its schedule
playing against non-highly
ranked opponents, but will continue attack those teams at full
force.
“Right now we will be going
against weak teams for the rest
of the season but I still want
those core seven to be working
together,” said Garnet Gulls
coach Rick Lill. “Playing against
a weaker team you should beat
them 25-15, and the next time
you should beat them 25-10.”
Playing weaker teams, the
Garnet Gulls will be able to
work out the kinks to perform
well in the tournaments.
“Our goal right now is to
Gulls are division champs
younger players how to play and
what it takes to be successful.”
At third singles, Sofia Barba
defeated Alex Maggio 6-1,7-6
[7-5]. Barba was playing with a
minor injury, but did not want
to opt out of the match.
“She knows that the other
players count on her and she
would never let them down,”
said coach Gale. “She got a little
tentative in the second set but
still pulled out a victory.”
In first doubles, two members
of the “Brat Pack,” the nickname
coach Gale calls the freshman
on the team, played. First doubles had a monumental win as
Camille Grieci and Molly
Maschefzky defeated Presley
Miguel and Alex Marino 6-3, 61.
“Those two, along with fellow
Brat Packers Maureen Halliday,
Hope D'Amore and Paige
Kristensen, will be counted on
in the future to bring the program to the next level,”
explained coach Gale.
At second doubles, Sara
Sisselman and Staci Miller from
Brick
defeated
Maureen
Halliday and Taylor Leavy in
three sets 2-6, 6-2, 6-4.
“Maureen continues to
impress me with her ground
strokes and hustle on the court,”
said Gale.
“Taylor has really done a nice
job this year all along. The fact
[the second doubles team] went
three sets is a good sign that
they are getting better,” he said.
POINT BORO VS.
LAKEWOOD
The
Panthers
defeated
Lakewood this past Wednesday
with a final score of 4-1.
Wodell defeated Shreya Patel
6-4,6-1 in the first singles
match. Corcilo defeated Eva
Garcia 6-0, 6-3 in second singles. Barba defeated Charisse
Smalls 6-1, 6-3 at third singles.
The second doubles team saw
the freshman tandem of
D'Amore and Kristensen, who
defeated Glorivette Velez and
Sameria Forbes 6-3,4-6,7-6 for
their first varsity wins.
The Point Boro Panthers now
have a record of 4-8.

work on winning in the Shore
Conference and state tournament. We have to stay on top of
our game,” said coach Lill. “The
is the one fun thing about the
rest of the year is that the pressure is off in winning the division.”
Sharkey looks forward to the
tournaments, but knows competition will be tough.
“In the Shore Conference
Tournament we get to play
teams which are not in our division and they all are against good
competition,” explained Sharkey.
“[To win some games,] I think
we just need to work on setting
up our offense. Once I set the
ball up, our hitters — we do
pretty well.”
To win in the Shore and state
tournaments, coach Lill believes
minor alterations will create a
significant difference on the
scoreboard. He believes the
Point Beach volleyball team
needs to work on consistency in
its serving.
“Right now we have to work
on our serves staying in,” he
explained. “At this point in the
season the girls are talented
enough that they should not be
hitting serves out [of bounds].”
