when it sued the borough in the fall over the
constitutionality of reciting The Lord’s
Prayer at municipal meetings.
Ocean County Superior Court Judge
Vincent J. Grasso issued an order on Feb. 15
ordering the borough to pay the ACLU
$11,200 in legal fees accrued after the civil
liberties organization filed a lawsuit against
the borough on behalf of borough resident
Sharon Cadalzo on Sept. 16.
Mrs. Cadalzo could not be reached for
comment this week.
That number is a substantial reduction of
the $37,989 the ACLU had asked the borough to cover.

on the dredging of Point
Pleasant Beach’s Lake Louise,
which examined over the
course of nearly one full year
the financial and environmental impacts of the oft-delayed
dredging project.
The newspaper was also
honored with a first-place
award in the Interpretive
Writing category for reporter
Erica Florentine’s analysis of
Point Pleasant’s controversial
move to open borough employee contract negotiations to the
public early last year — a policy that was adopted by council,
but never successfully put into
practice.
The Ocean Star’s final firstplace award came in the
Special Issue category, for the
staff ’s coverage of the Blizzard
of 2010 in its Dec. 31 issue.
The Ocean Star also took second place in this category with
its Nov. 5 Election Results
issue, which detailed the local
mayoral and council races.
Sports
reporter
Greg
Domorski was recognized with
a second-place award in the
Sports Writing Portfolio category, in which sports writers’
work is judged on significance,
clarity, originality and writing
style.
Mr. Sheldon also received a
second-place award in the
Coverage of Government category — also known as the Art
Weissman Memorial Award,
which recognizes excellence in
reporting on local government
— for his series on the Point
Pleasant Beach Council’s
deliberation over the possible
hiring of a civilian public safety director to replace the chief
of police last spring.
Finally, The Ocean Star
received one third-place award
in the Feature Section Layout
& Content category for the
Sept. 24 People page spread on
Point Pleasant Beach’s 33rd
annual Festival of the Sea,
written by reporter Molly
Mulshine and photographed
by Sueanne Goss.
The Ocean Star’s sister paper
in Monmouth County, The
Coast Star, was honored with
five Better Newspaper Contest
Awards in the categories for
larger weekly newspapers,
including a first-place award
recognizing the company’s
website — www.starnewsgroup.com — as the best in the
state.
The Coast Star received firstplace recognition in the Sports
Section Layout & Content category, one of numerous awards
The Coast Star has received in
that category over the past
decade.
Sports
reporters
Len
Bardsley and Sam Costantino
are responsible for the section’s
content, while production
manager Joyce Manser is
responsible for the layout of
the section.
The Coast Star also received a
second-place award in the
Front Page Layout category.
The Coast Star earned thirdplace honors in two categories.
Sports
reporter
Sam
Costantino was honored with a
third-place win for the Robert
P. Kelly Award, which recognizes excellence in news, interpretive, feature or sports writing by a full-time staffer with
fewer than 12 months of professional experience, and is
intended to encourage capable
and talented young reporters to
continue their careers in print
journalism.
Newsroom Supervisor Jamie
Biesiada, who also covers Wall
Township for The Coast Star,
received third-place honors in
the Environmental/Health &
Science Writing category for
her Sept. 30 story, “Wall man
seeks to share knowledge of
prosthetics
with
another
amputee,” which detailed the
life of a Wall Navy veteran and
amputee who makes his own
prosthetic legs.
Finally, Star News Group’s
website, which serves as a combined online news platform for
both The Ocean Star and The
Coast Star, took first place in
the Best Overall Website category of the Better Newspaper
Contest’s online division.
Entries in this category are
judged on the usefulness of the
website, the quality and quantity of community content, and
ease of navigation and design.
Ms. Biesiada is Star News
Group’s webmaster.
Star News Group owner and
publisher James M. Manser
congratulated both newspapers
on the one dozen awards
received this year.
“We have never received this
many awards in one year from
the NJPA, and it clearly shows
the commitment and dedication our newsroom staff has to
providing a top-notch news
product for our readers every
week,” Mr. Manser said. “I
congratulate them all on their
well-deserved recognition.”
Mr. Manser added, “All of
our employees should be proud
of these honors, as it is truly a
team effort that allows us to
put out quality newspapers
every week.”

Owner Robert Whille [from left], Julie Whille and Parker
Howe welcomed guests to the recent Saturday-morning
“Bagel Jam” at The Corner Bagelry, which was damaged in a
fire approximately 18 months ago. The re-opened restaurant
hosts an open jam session and invites musicians to bring their
instruments and enjoy music and breakfast.
Disrupted by fire, Beach
shop open for business
By Lauren Herstik
Kathleen
and
Robert
Whille, owners of The Corner
Bagelry on the corner of Route
35 South and Arnold Avenue
in Point Pleasant Beach, are
happy to be back in business.
The restaurant, which boasts
homemade bagels, pizza, an
exclusive Boar’s Head Deli,
and a coffee shop, was one of
several businesses devastated
by a fire that destroyed the
building that housed the businesses and a handful of residential units in August 2009.
The restaurant reopened on
Aug. 14, 2010, and business
has been rising steadily ever
since.
“We’re thankful for all out
loyal customers. The high
school kids are back, the regulars are back,” Mrs. Whille said
recently.
The bagelry serves customers until 4 p.m. for the
moment, but the Whilles plan
to keep it open later as the
summer season approaches.
In the meantime, The
Corner Bagelry has started
hosting Saturday morning
“Bagel Jams,” an open jam session for local musicians.
“Anyone’s invited to bring
their instruments and play, or
just come visit and enjoy breakfast,” Mrs. Whille said. The
jam sessions are held from 8
a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturdays.
The Whilles have owned
The Corner Bagelry in Point
Pleasant Beach for eight years.
On Aug. 28, 2009 the couple
opened
another
Corner
Bagelry & Delicatessen on
Route 35 North in Wall, at the
Sea Girt Crossroads Mall.
They also own a Corner
Bagelry & Delicatessen at 233
East Main St., in Manasquan.
The Whilles are thrilled to
be back in their Point Beach
location.
“It’s the main corner in town
— it’s like the hub,” Mrs.
Whille said.
An investigation into the
Aug. 26, 2009 fire concluded
that improperly discarded
smoking material was the
cause. The fire left 11 people
who lived in apartments on the
second floor of the building
without a home, and four business owners on the first floor
cleaning up the smoke and
water damage that ruined their
stores.
Nobody was injured in the
blaze.
The other apartments and
first-floor
businesses
—
including Tattoo City, the
Corner
Bagelry
and
Delicatessen, All
Family
Barber Shop, and The Swim
Gallery — sustained heavy
smoke and water damage from
the firefighting efforts.
The Corner Bagelry and The
Swim Gallery are the first
businesses to reopen, and all of
the apartments are currently
occupied. There are still two
vacancies in the building.
“We’re just happy to be welcomed back,” Mrs. Whille said.
Jersey Mike’s making a
difference for FoodBank
The
FoodBank
of
Monmouth
and
Ocean
Counties is joining forces with
Jersey Mike’s Subs restaurants
throughout
Ocean
and
Monmouth counties in a March
“Month of Giving” fundraising
campaign to help fight hunger
in area communities.
The “Month of Giving” will
culminate on March 28 with
Jersey Mike’s nationwide “Make
a Difference Day.”
During the month of March,
customers can make a donation
to the FoodBank at any area
Jersey Mike’s store, such as the
Mike’s at 901 Richmond Ave.
[Route 35 South] in Point
Pleasant Beach or on Bridge
Avenue in Point Pleasant.
Customers making a $5
donation to the FoodBank will
receive six specially branded
Jersey Mike’s Silly Bandz and a
coupon for free chips and a
drink, while supplies last. One
hundred percent of Silly Bandz
sales will be contributed to the
FoodBank.
“Early on, I learned from my
mentors — local businesspeople
— the importance of giving
back to the community,” said
Peter Cancro, Jersey Mike’s
founder and CEO. “That is the
model I chose for Jersey Mike’s,
and we have been doing it since
the beginning.
“The philosophy of giving
back is important to us,” Mr.
Cancro said. “That’s why we
chose to celebrate the milestone
marking our 55th year with our
first-ever ‘Make a Difference
Day,’ a national effort to ensure
deserving charities get the funding they need.”
Susan
Kelly, Executive
Director of the FoodBank, said,
“Jersey Mike’s has been a friend
of the FoodBank for many years,
and we are proud to be part of
this generous effort to make a
difference in the lives of those
who suffer from the effects of
hunger.”
The
FoodBank
of
Monmouth
and
Ocean
Counties, a member of Feeding
America, secures and distributes
6.7 million pounds of donated
food annually to a network of
approximately 260 hunger relief
organizations in Monmouth
and Ocean counties.
The FoodBank is a 501[c]3
nonprofit whose mission is to
distribute food to as many needy
people as possible through this
network of area charities. Those
needing emergency food or
shelter are encouraged to contact the emergency food
pantries, soup kitchens and
shelters in their communities.

Inside the Artist’s Studio: Steve Coleman, filmmaker
By Lauren Herstik
Art and surfing are lonely
pursuits at the Jersey Shore in
the winter and Steve Coleman, a
filmmaker from Point Pleasant
Beach, works tirelessly at both.
A lifelong shore resident and
a surfer, Mr. Coleman documents life in the New Jersey surf
community. His first documentary short, “Born to the Sea” follows two local surfers — Ryan
and Chelsea — in a conversation about what it is to be a
Jersey Shore Surfer.
Ryan talks about the state of
nirvana induced by “getting barreled in a green room of water.”
He muses on winter surfing,
when the water temperature
hovers near freezing. “You go
down for two waves, tops, and
you come up crying like a little
girl,” he said.
Chelsea, who works at the
Beach House Classic Board
shop in Bay Head, describes her
favorite wave. It’s a small wave
on a light day.
“There are only two other
guys out, and it’s just so rare that
you get that day in New Jersey
where you can still get a good
ride,” she said.
Then there are the days
when, “it’s 30 degrees out and
there’s snow on the ground, but
I’m just going to go and paddle
out even if there’s no waves and
just sit out there, because I love
the ocean,” she said.
Mr. Coleman’s subjects articulate a love for the ocean in their
dialogue. He expands upon it by
saying, “There’s a feeling of
complete solitude when you
watch the waves rise off a placid
dark blue ocean silhouetted by
light blue skies. It’s truly a thing
of beauty.” “Born to the Sea”
won for Best Surf Video at the
Jersey Shore Film Festival in
Deal in 2010.
“I talked to a lot of people to

group trip
to Italy
St. Peter’s Parish is sponsoring a group trip to Italy,
“Shrines of Italy: A Franciscan
Voyage,” from April 16 through
26, 2012.
Highlights of the trip will
include: Rome, Vatican City, a
Papal Audience, St. Peter’s
Basilica, the Papal Basilica of
St. Paul Outside the Walls, a
Christian Rome city tour, the
Papal Basilica of St. Mary
Major, the Papal Archbasilica
of St. John in Lateran,
Madonna del Rosario, Abbey
of Santissima Trinita, Assisi,
Loreto,
San
Giovanni
Rotondo, and the Tomb of
Padre Pio.
The double trip rate is
$2,799. Included in that price
is round-trip airfare from
Newark International Airport,
air taxes and fees/surcharges of
$150 [subject to increase until
paid in full], hotel transfers,
and busing to and from the airport, as well as 15 meals —
nine breakfasts and six dinners.
Not included in the price are
cancellation waivers and trip
insurance of $200 per person.
According to trip organizers,
“Shrines of Italy: A Franciscan
Voyage” is a great opportunity
to learn more about the early
Christians and walk in the
footsteps of the Franciscan
saints, like St. Francis, St. Clare
and St. Padre Pio. See where
the saints received the stigmata,
preached to the birds and
tamed the wolf.

get interviews. Then I started
compiling the clips. In the end I
decided to focus on these two
friends,” Mr. Coleman said of
the
filmmaking
process.
Shooting the film was “just like
talking to friends,” he said. He’d
just have conversations and let
the camera roll in the background.
Watching the film is like flipping through a photo album
that talks. It’s no surprise that
Mr. Coleman seamlessly flows
back and forth from photography to videography in his work.
“Still photography and film
feels the same to me,” he said. “I
point a camera at the people and
places I enjoy getting lost in,
searching for peace and solitude.
Being a surfer and growing up
on the Jersey Shore I’ve grown
fond of the beauty, scenery and
the people who inhabit the
area.”
Much of his work focuses on
these themes and Mr. Coleman
plans to expand his exploration
of the New Jersey surf community in another documentary
film to be submitted to the 2011
New York Surf Film Festival.
“By capturing these people
and places I can share the small
moments with others, from
when a wave breaks and a surfer
rides it to the shoreline. I focus
on showing people a surfer’s love
for mother earth and the sea
they call home. How they
respect, love and cherish it.
Educating each other about the
ocean so we can keep it alive for
years to come. Keeping the
fountain of youth just like we
found it. Having fun and enjoying the waves,” he said.
This second film will look at
people in local shore towns who
have made surf culture a part of
their lives, while they themselves become integral to the
fabric of the community. Mr.
Coleman plans to interview Jay
Alders, a world famous surfboard artist based in Belmar;
Bill LaFleur who owns Cosmic
Bull, a custom board shop in
Long Branch; and Brian Wynn
who finishes Mr. LaFleur’s
boards out of a workshop in
South Jersey.
Fostering an understanding of
“It’ll be kind of a ‘day in the
life’ look at these people,” Mr. the local surf scene is a common
Coleman said. “I’m trying to
show how surfing plays into the
community here.”

St. Peter’s collecting ‘quarters
for water’ to help African school
By Lauren Herstik
The members of St. Peter’s
Roman Catholic Church, on
Forman Avenue in Point
Pleasant Beach, is reaching
across borders to help a community in need.
St. Peter’s Parish has partnered with ChangeALife
Uganda, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving
the lives of orphaned and disadvantaged children and their
families in rural Migyera and
semi-urban
Nabbingo,
Uganda.
The organization was founded by Jean Semler, a parishioner
at St. Peter’s. The parish will
focus its efforts on the
ChangeALife Uganda program
called “Quarters for Water,”
which collects donations to
provide clean drinking water to
communities in Uganda.
During the six weeks of the
Lenten season — the Catholic
pre-Easter season starting
March 9 and ending April 23
— St. Peter’s is challenging its
“We have so much

Residents of Migyera, Uganda must collect 30 to 50 cans of
water per day to supply the 500 students and teachers of the
St. Lawrence School. ChangeALife Uganda seeks to install a

clean water with funds collected by donors such as St. Peter’s
Parish in Point Pleasant Beach.
Water” label.
“If you are heading toward
the soda machine, head for the
water fountain instead,” church
spokesperson Michelle Ball
wrote in an e-mail this week. “
If your family goes out to dinner and you usually order iced
tea, ask for water — it’s free.
“You’ll be amazed at how the
savings add up,” Ms. Ball continued. “Encourage your whole
family to participate.”
Dawn Rusinko, a pastoral
associate at St. Peter’s,
explained
why
the Point
Pleasant Beach church was so
eager to get involved with
“Quarters for Water.”
“It’s a nice project involving
children and water, and with
the environment the way it is,
anything we can do to help is
important,” she said.
The concept of sacrifice
played into the decision to participate as well, especially so
close to Lent.
“We have so much that we
take for granted. We can sacrifice that extra coffee at
Dunkin’ Donuts and put the
money towards getting clean
drinking water for someone in
need,” Ms. Rusinko added.
A single quarter goes a long
way at St. Lawrence School in
Migyera.
The
donations
replace containers filled with
dirty water from a local pond
with clean water from a deep
well for St. Lawrence students.
In 2010, donations from
American schoolchildren provided five new water collection
tanks and purchased the land
for a new well. But, the situation is critical, since the village
is in a semi-arid area, and the
rainfall pattern has become
variable and sporadic.
In fact, this past rainy season

Students at the St. Lawrence School in Migyera, Uganda

water source, in up to six trips per day. St. Peter’s Parish in
Point Pleasant Beach is collecting “Quarters for Water” to
help ease the burden on the students.
School.
The first phase of the project, which will help buy a well,
pump and pump house, will
cost $20,000, according to the
organization’s website.
Clean water access has been
a priority in Uganda for at least
the past 10 years. In 2004,
Uganda’s central government
set national targets to increase
access to clean water and sanitation to 100 percent in urban
areas and 77 percent in rural
districts by 2015, according to
a 2009 report released by the
World Resources Institute
[WRI], a global environmental
think
tank
based
in
Washington, D.C.
While that goal is well on its
way to being achieved, with
increases in water access in
rural sub-counties of the country reported five years after the
initiative was implemented,
other areas of the country still
lag behind.
As of 2009, more than 14
million people lived in 506 subcounties that were ahead of the
interim target set by Uganda’s
planners, while approximately
11 million people lived in 323
rural sub-counties that had not
kept pace with national
progress on safe drinking water
rates, according to “Mapping a
Healthier Future,” a 2009
report on clean water access
issued by the Ugandan
Government Ministries.
Those rural areas found to be
lagging require extra attention
so increased clean-water access
can keep pace with the rising
population and climate changefueled desertification in the
region, according to WRI.
The “Quarters for Water”
project serves to provide that
extra attention in Migera, in
the central region of the country, and Nabbingo, a suburb
just outside the capital city of
Kampala.

The St. Peter’s couple chose

Point Elks beat winter blues at Parrothead Party
By Molly Mulshine
It might still be chilly outside,
but the Point Pleasant Elks did
not let the cold weather stop
them from donning Hawaiian
shirts and throwing a summerthemed bash in their lodge,
here, last weekend.
The
Elks
held
their
Parrothead Beach Party last
Saturday, Feb. 19, to benefit the
Elks National Foundation
[ENF].
“It’s the middle of winter,
there’s a lot of snow, but we just
want to have fun,” said Bob
Kierstead, of Point Pleasant, the
Arnold Avenue lodge’s house
chairman.
Mr. Kierstead has been a
member of the Point Pleasant
Elks for more than 30 years, and
is also a past exalted ruler of the
organization.
“I enjoy meeting people”
through the Elks,” Mr.
Kierstead said. “I enjoy the benefits of being an Elk and giving
back to the community.”
The beach party featured live
guitar music by Ed Austin, who
covered summery tunes by
musicians like Jimmy Buffett.
The Elks also provided a
summer-style barbecue buffet
including pulled pork, kielbasa,
corn on the cob, baked beans
and more.
“The beach party is a good
thing to have,” said Tim Brogan,
of Point Pleasant. “It really
brings the Elks community
together.”
Mr. Brogan is one of the
organization’s newest members,
having been sworn in just a few
months ago. He joined the Point
Pleasant Elks because he played
on the Elks-sponsored Pop
Warner football team in Point
Pleasant as a child.
Mr. Brogan also grew up
around the lodge, because his

The ENF benefits veterans,
as well, with its Elks National
Veterans Service Program.
Supporting veterans is especially important to the Point
Pleasant Elks.
“We take the veterans on
fishing trips,” Mr. Kierstead
said. “In Point, we’re very into
veterans and children.”
The ENF also distributes
grants to local Elks lodges for
improvements and other projects.
Supporting the ENF is just
one of the charitable ventures in
which the Point Elks take part.
The Elks sponsor the Point
Pleasant Elks Pop Warner football teams and cheerleading
squads, as well as Girl and Boy
Scout Troops in the surrounding
towns, Mr. Kierstead said.
The Elks’ dedication to children with special needs is also a
cornerstone of their organization.
The group contributes funds
to Camp Moore, a North Jersey
summer camp for children with
special needs funded by New
Jersey Elks lodges through several fundraisers throughout the
year.
“We have a special-needs picnic every July,” Mr. Kierstead
said. “We’ve had upwards of 150
children [attend the picnic] ...
It’s a moving experience, and it
makes you want to give something back.”
The Elks also held a
Snowflake Charity Ball recently
to raise awareness of their work
for children with special needs.
“The main idea of running
this charity ball was to bring
awareness of what our committee does for the children,” said
Eileen Miller, of Point Pleasant.
The Elks also held a charity
Christmas party in December to
benefit children with special
needs.
The Point Elks hope to continue to “make people aware that
we are here to provide assistance
to special-needs children,” Ms.
Miller said.

A PEELING SOLUTION
Not only is a chemical
facial peel an effective
means of reducing/eliminating fine lines, wrinkles,
acne scarring and skin discoloration, it is one of the
oldest cosmetic procedures.
Cleopatra’s milk baths are
perhaps the most famous
example of utilizing the lactic acid in milk (which is an
alpha hydroxy acid still
used today) to exfoliate,
smooth and rejuvenate skin.
Today, the underlying technique is the same as it was
then. The dermatologist
applies an acid solution to
the face, which removes the
damaged outer layers of
skin. As the underlying layers of skin emerge, they
lend the face a rejuvenated,
silky, unblemished appearance. By varying the con-
centration of the acid solution, the dermatologist can
achieve a customized effect.
For further information
about anything discussed in
today’s column, call 732295-1331. The office is
conveniently located at 407
Richmond Ave., Route 35
South, Point Pleasant
Beach. New patients are
welcome. We have evening
and Saturday appointments.
P.S. While a light chemical peel may be fine for the
treatment of fine wrinkling,
areas of dryness, uneven
pigmentation, and acne, a
deep peel may be used to
treat coarse facial wrinkles,
blotches caused by aging or
sun exposure, and pre-cancerous growths. Ask about

Borough ordered to legal fees in prayer lawsuit
— FROM PAGE 1 —
The ACLU reported 126 billable hours working on the
September lawsuit against the
borough, at a rate of $400 per
hour. A sum of $4,650 was
removed from the total bill, as
that
money
represented
“duplicative” hours, such as travel time and initial consultations
with the plaintiff.
In contrast, the borough’s representation, Kevin Riordan,
billed for 28 hours, at $125 per
hour.
Judge Grasso ruled that the
ACLU’s $400-per-hour rate was
“not unreasonable,” and that,
while Mr. Riordan’s rate reflects
“effort by local governments to
tighten their fiscal belts in challenging economic times,” his 28
hours billed was “not unreasonable.”
He then ordered that the borough pay the $11,200, representing 28 billable hours at $400 per
hour, to be paid in the next 60
days.
In the lawsuit filed in
September, ACLU New Jersey
[ACLU-NJ] challenged the
council’s traditional practice of
reciting the Christian prayer at
public meetings under Article 1,
Paragraph 4 of the New Jersey
Constitution, which provides
that “there shall be no establishment of one religious sect in
preference to another.”
Mr. Riordan explained that
once the first lawsuit had been
filed, the borough had only two
options.
“They [the members of the
governing body] could change
[their practice], or they could
defend The Lord’s Prayer,” he
said.
The latter would have been

“I’d like to see something in

The mayor was referring to
court-approved prayers recorded in a similar case, Marsa v.
Wernik, in which a private citizen, Paul Marsa, questioned the
legality of then-mayor Donald
J. Wernik opening Metuchen
municipal meetings with invocations.
The New Jersey Supreme
Court ruled in 1981 in favor of
the municipality in that case,
deeming the prayers in question sufficiently non-sectarian
so as not to violate the Lemon

Barrella
said
Wednesday he hopes for a
“global settlement,” by which
he means the end to both the
first and second lawsuit, and to
the possibility that the borough
might be responsible for even
more fees.
“I would hope the ACLU
backs down,” the mayor said.
“They’ve made their point.
Asking for further fees would
punish the taxpayers for the
actions of just a few people.”
“Hopefully, we will reach a
decision at the next council
meeting,” regarding how to
proceed from this point forward, he said.
The next Point Pleasant
Beach Council meeting is
scheduled for Tuesday, March 8.
“There are important things
going on,” the mayor said.
“People are in danger of losing
their jobs. People are facing furlough days. Seniors and families
are having a hard time making
payments.
“There are so many things
that this is distracting us from,”
the mayor continued. “This is a
national debate that’s playing
out in tiny Point Pleasant
Beach. I wish we would get it
resolved.”

Governor announces state aid awards
— FROM PAGE 1 —
property tax relief, and $200 million in tax cuts and business incentives under the proposed budget,
the governor said.
Although state aid to schools
would increase over last year’s
amounts — by $250 million —
aid to municipalities would remain
flat. Both schools and municipalities took a hit in state aid reductions last year.
According to the state aid
awards
announced
late
Wednesday, the Point Pleasant
Beach School District saw the
greatest percentage-increase in its
aid award from the current, 20102011 award of $170,525 to
$300,192 next school year — an
increase of $129,667, or 76 percent.
Point
Pleasant
Beach
Superintendent of Schools John
Ravally, Ed.D., said yesterday, of
the state aid increase the district is
set to receive next year, $32,386
will go toward a debt assessment.
This assessment was put in
place by the state, since the Point
Pleasant Beach School District
received construction grants for
the recent additions at both G.
Harold Antrim Elementary
School and Point Pleasant Beach
High School.
“It’s basically us paying that
grant back,” Mr. Ravally said.
Of the remaining $97,281 in
state aid increases, Mr. Ravally
said yesterday it is too early to tell
what impact that will have on the
district’s 2011-2012 budget, since
the state has not yet provided the
district with Mantoloking’s share
figures of the school tax levy.
However, the superintendent
said yesterday he was expecting
those numbers to be released very
soon.
Mantoloking has been part of
the Point Pleasant Beach School
District since the 2009 dissolution
of
the
non-operating
Mantoloking School District.
“We are anticipating a decrease
in overall expenses [in the Point
Pleasant Beach School District”
for the 2011-2012 school year,
Mr. Ravally said yesterday.
The Point Pleasant School
District saw the biggest gross
increase in aid locally — a bump
of $356,074, which will bring the
district’s state aid award for 20112012 to $5,386,793, compared to
$5,030,719 for the current school
year.
“We just got the numbers yesterday,” Superintendent of Schools
Vincent S. Smith said Thursday
afternoon.
“Everyone was holding their
breath to see what was going to
happen,” the superintendent said.
“There was a sigh of relief that
we’re not going backwards.”
Last year, many local school
districts’ state aid awards were cut,
or eliminated.
“It’s one good step to getting

Gov. Chris Christie presented his proposed 2012 fiscal year budget to the legislature on
Tuesday in Trenton.
back on track,” Superintendent
Smith said yesterday. “We have to
move forward. ... Getting more aid
was certainly a plus.”
The Point Pleasant Board of
Education will host a budget presentation for the public on March
14 at Ocean Road Elementary
School, the superintendent said,
with the proposed budget’s final
hearing and adoption slated for
March 28.
Other local districts saw modest
aid increases as well.
In Bay Head, the 2011-2012
state aid award was increased to
$29,537 from nothing during the
current school year. All of the
2011-2012 award is designated for
special education assistance.
“It’s nice to know that we got
some of our special education aid
restored,” Mr. Ravally stated yesterday.
Mr. Ravally also serves as superintendent of the Bay Head School
District, a Point Pleasant Beach
sending district.
The superintendent clarified
that Bay Head’s special education
aid totaled $47,567 two years ago,
but was reduced to nothing last
year.
Mr. Ravally stated yesterday
that Bay Head was still waiting on
extraordinary aid figures from the
state that could also assist Bay
Head’s special education program.
According to the state aid
awards released Wednesday, the
Lavallette School District will
receive $133,044 in state aid during the next school year. The district was awarded $97,933 during
the current school year, for an
increase of $35,111.
“Here at the Lavallette School,
we have the lowest tax rate in the
county, and good community support,” Lavallette Superintendent
Peter Morris said yesterday. “Any
increase that we get in state aid is
certainly a very positive thing.”
Mr. Morris further stated that
Lavallette was looking forward to
finalizing the “leanest” proposed
2011-2012 school budget possible
in order to provide the best education for the district’s children.
Now that state aid numbers
have been released, local board of
education will get to work finalizing the drafts of their proposed
2011-2012 school budgets, which
are due to be introduced next
month.
Local school budgets will be
put up for a public vote on
Wednesday, April 20, when residents will also have the chance to
elect school board members.
Unlike local school districts,
most state departments will see a
cut, the governor said Tuesday —
funding for the Department of
Environmental Protection would
be down 10 percent and the
Department of Health and Senior
Services would see a 15-percent
cut.
Money alone is not the answer
to New Jersey’s financial problems, said the governor. He urged
for reform to the education system
and to the state’s pension and benefits system.
He called on the legislature to
finally pass pension and benefit
reform. He offered to make an
immediate $500-million payment
to the pension fund — the first
contribution made, he said, since
the 2009 fiscal year to the estimated $54-billion, deficit-ridden pension system — if “real reform” is
passed. The payment is statutorily
required to be made within fiscal
year 2012.
In a statement released Tuesday,
New Jersey Education Association
[NJEA] President Barbara
Keshishian claimed Gov. Christie
was pitting all of New Jersey
against public education employees.
“He promises to make a legally
required $500-million contribution to the pension system, but
only if teachers and school
employees pay thousands more
out of their salaries — on top of
their current contributions,” she
said.
New Jersey’s small businesses,
on the other hand, applauded
Gov. Christie’s push for reform.
“Without real reforms to the
legacy costs, taxes will explode,
and the state’s economy will be
dead in the water,” said Laurie
GOP club president responds to mayor’s
decision not to seek club endorsement
By Lauren Herstik
Republican Club President
Stephen Reid responded this
week to Mayor Vincent
Barrella’s announcement that he
would not seek the club’s
endorsement in this year’s election. He also responded to
Councilwoman Kris Tooker’s
comments regarding the mayor’s
decision and her own relationship with the club.
Even if the mayor had sought
the club’s endorsement, he
would be ineligible as a nondues paying former member.
According to Mr. Reid, Mayor
Barrella has not paid club dues
in three years.
Mayor Barrella explained,
“Why would I pay dues to a club
that did not support me in the
recall election, and that did not
offer to defray the thousands of
dollars in legal fees incurred
from that.”
Mayor Barrella successfully
ran for office on the Republican
ticket in November 2007, but
2401 Highway 35

since his installation, the mayor
has had several public clashes
with the leaders and members of
the Point Pleasant Beach
Regular
Republican
Organization. Last year, the club
decided to back a different candidate when Mayor Barrella
faced a recall election. As a
result, the mayor ran as an
Independent to maintain his
seat, and defeated Republican
candidate Stephen Reid and
Democrat John Dixon by a significant margin.
Mr. Reid addressed the claims
that certain officials’ breaks with
the club were founded on differences in philosophy.
“When they talk about the
Republican Party and differences of philosophy, I don’t
know what they’re talking about.
We’re a very inclusive party,” Mr.
Reid said.
“I called over 100 people to
serve on leadership committees
within the club. I’ve asked Kris
Tooker twice to serve on these
committees. When she says, ‘I
have a difference of opinion with
the philosophy of the club,’ she
must be talking about the past or
certain council members. I’m
talking about the future.”
Mr. Reid added that he had
invited new people to serve in
leadership positions since he
became president of the club in
December. He said the move
represented a look toward the
future and a new, refreshed perspective.
Mayor Barrella expanded on
the philosophical divides.
“Their leadership has never
embraced the concept of putting
taxpayers first. They always
come out in favor of the contributor. They are inclusive to those
who agree with them.”
Mayor Barrella noted that the
leadership of the club, including

“The governor is right to push
them to reform the system, and we
are very pleased that he did so
again,” she said.
On Tuesday, speaking in
Trenton, Gov. Christie implored
the legislature to pass the budget.
It requires adoption before the
2012 fiscal year begins on July 1,
2011.
All local borough governments
will incorporate the municipal aid
figures released this week into the
planning of their 2011 budgets,
which are set for introduction next
month.
Municipal aid awards remained
flat for the 2012 fiscal year, which
begins July 1 and lasts until June
30, 2012.
Bay Head received $169,935 in
state aid for the 2011 fiscal year,
which will remain the same in
2011-2012.
Lavallette is slated to receive
$168,609 in state aid, while
Mantoloking will be awarded
$147,440.
Point Pleasant Beach is due to
receive $571,362, and Point

The Lavallette Council has
approved an ordinance governing permits for for-profit organizations seeking to utilize
municipal property for their
activities.
The ordinance passed Tuesday
night in a unanimous vote upon
second reading. It establishes
certain municipal property as a
“place of resort,” including the
municipal tennis court and the
municipal ice skating rink. Forprofit businesses that use the
municipality’s places of resort for
their activities must obtain a permit, and will be subject to a fee
to be paid to the municipality
amounting to 10 percent of gross
revenue derived from the activi-
ty.
The council had been discussing the possibility of such an
ordinance for some time, ever
since Council President Anita
Zalom mentioned in January
that she had been contacted by a
summer resident looking to provide private tennis clinics on the
municipal courts in the summertime. The resident offered the
town 10 percent of profits, as
that had been the standard in
other towns where she’d offered
the clinics, according to
Councilwoman Zalom.
Councilwoman
Joanne
Fillipone wondered whether the
town could levy a similar fee
from other for-profit organizations that utilize municipal
property. Borough Attorney
Phillip George noted the law
requires that an ordinance be
passed to levy such fees so that
the fees remain consistent across
all municipal places of resort and
for all for-profit businesses.
“A separate fee may be established for non-profits,” he said at
the meeting in January.
The council has since penned
this new ordinance, which standardizes the 10 percent fee for
for-profit businesses. In the
ordinance, the council recognized that these for-profit businesses have increasingly utilized
municipal property for activities
that encourage “physical wellbeing and healthy competition.”
However, the use of municipal
property for said activities has
increasingly put a strain on
municipal resources including
employee overtime, cleanup
expenses, and maintenance
expenses, according to the ordinance.
Commercial, for-profit businesses will now be required to
obtain a permit before engaging
in any kind of lessons, classes,
competitions, or events over the
course of a single day or multiple
days. The ordinance requires
that participants in activities on
the beach obtain a beach badge
in addition to the activity fees.
Permit applicants will also be
responsible for a security deposit
to cover cleanup or damages
resulting from the activity in

Mantoloking
Mantoloking council, mayor
pass February resolutions
By Eric Colvin
It was truly business as usual
in the borough this week, as
council members presented a
series of resolutions, which
received unanimous approval
without comment from the public during the Tuesday meeting.
Councilman
Stanley
Witkowski, chairman of the
finance committee, initiated the
action, calling upon the borough’s chief financial officer,
Michelle Swisher, to present a
report on the status of the 2010
municipal budget, as of Dec. 31.
Ms. Swisher reported the current year appropriation had a
balance of $329,163 and the
2009 appropriation reserves carried a $256,427 balance.
According to Ms. Swisher,
the capital account, which was
budgeted for $1,643,939 had a
balance of $1,302,666 as of Dec.
31.
After council approved the
resolution to accept Ms.
Swisher’s report, Councilman
Witkowski presented the second of his six resolutions for
council approval –— the payment of bills for February.
The bills for the month total
$339,301.
Next up, council quickly
approved other financial resolutions, including authorizing
professional contracts for physical and drug testing services and
the appropriation for a reserve
transfer.
According to state statute,
during the first three months of
a year, a governing body may, by
resolution, transfer “excess to an
appropriation reserve or an
appropriation in the prior budget.”
This week, council transferred $10,000 for sewers,
$5,000 for road repairs and $500
to the office of emergency management.
“We do [transfers] throughout the year to keep various
accounts
balanced,”
Councilman
Witkowski
explained this week.
Councilman Witkowski also
introduced an ordinance, which
council passed without discussion, to exceed the 2011 municipal budget appropriation limits
and to establish a cap bank.
“There is nothing unusual
about it,” the councilman said
this week of the resolution.
Council and Mayor George
Nebel then officially appointed
Irene Ryan as the qualified purchasing agent for the borough.
Ms. Ryan has acted in that
capacity in the past, but a recent
state mandate required specific
licensing. Ms. Ryan obtained
the official license recently, after
attending state-approved courses.
As a result of having a qualified purchasing agent, the borough is able to increase its bid
threshold to $36,000 from
$26,000. The borough now has
the maximum bid threshold
allowed in the state.
Under local public contracts
law, any project worth $36,000
or more is subject to solicitation
of sealed bids. Projects for less
than $36,000 are subject to a
less formal bidding process.
According to Councilman
Witkowski, the governing body
approved the resolution to
“expedite
the
purchasing
process.”
Councilman
Steve
Gillingham then introduced
Mantoloking

he met with Jersey Central

Mr. Bixby also offered up
invaluable advice he received
from the company on how residents should respond during a

He said residents should call
the company directly, in addition to the police department.
The greater the number of calls

Seaweeders plan for
upcoming ‘OdysSea’
In honor of the 2011
Mantoloking
Centennial
Celebration, the Seaweeders
Garden Club of Bay Head and
Mantoloking will present
“Mantoloking
Centennial
OdysSea: A Standard Patriotic
Flower Show,” on Thursday,
June 30 at the Mantoloking
Yacht Club, from 1 to 6 p.m.
Members of the Flower
Show Committee, chaired by
Mary Anne Finch, met weekly
last summer and fall to develop
the standard flower show
schedule.
This week, the committee
began the arduous task of staging the flower show for presentation.
“The term ‘standard flower
show’ is the official title designating a flower show which
conforms to the standards
established by the National
Garden Club, Inc. [NGC] and
judged by NGC-accredited
flower show judges,” explained
Mrs. Finch.
“The primary purpose of the
Seaweeders Standard Patriotic
Flower Show is to honor
Mantoloking’s centennial celebration by sharing the beauty of
nature and floral artistic
endeavors,” Mrs. Finch said.
“The show will educate and
stimulate interest in horticulture and floral design.”
Members of the public are
welcome to enter horticulture
grown from their own gardens.
Some classes to enter are annu-
als and perennial cuttings, shrub
branches and herbs.
There will be combination
container plantings and window
boxes, as well as 36 creative floral interpretations featuring
patriotic Mantoloking themes.
The
Sea
Gulls,
the
Seaweeders’ junior garden club,
will also participate. The educational exhibits will vary from
flag etiquette to composting.
“The Seaweeders will not be
hosting its annual garden tour
this year,” noted Sherry Urner,
president of the Seaweeders

Relay For Life
seeking teams,
donations
Point Pleasant Borough High
School recently hosted the second
annual Relay For Life Kick-Off
Party, in preparation for the this
June’s Relay for Life in the borough.
Relay For Life is a nationwide,
community-based event that raises awareness and funds to assist in
the fight against cancer. Residents
come together at local relays to
celebrate cancer survivors and
remember people who have died
from cancer.
Local cancer survivors, caregivers, team captains, volunteers
and participants work hard to
make the borough’s annual relay a
success. Months of planning
meetings are held prior to the
event, which is slated for
Saturday, June 11 into Sunday,
June 12 at Community Park in
the borough.
School
Teacher
Katrina
Salvatoriello and Robin Quartaro
chair the borough’s Relay For Life.
Last year, teams of participants
walked the track at the high
school throughout the night,
making sure at least one member
was walking at any given time
throughout the evening, until 5:30
a.m. the following day.
As was the case last year, team
members will work to gather
donations in the time leading up
to the 2011 relay, and funds will go
directly to the American Cancer
Society.
Teams typically consist of students, faculty and community
members and include all ages.
The only requirement is that at
least one member is 25 or older.

Robert and Elizabeth Stacy’s property at 214 Osborn Street in the borough will be subdivided,
after the couple received Point Pleasant Planning Board approval last week. The couple’s home
will remain, and a new, single-family residence is planned to be constructed on the new site.
T-Mobile application bumped,
board approves other matters
By Eric Colvin
About one dozen residents
attended the Point Pleasant
Planning Board meeting last
Thursday night at borough hall
with one topic in mind — TMobile Northeast’s latest proposal to add cellular communication antennas to the water
tower on Burnt Tavern Road.
Instead, the residents, along
with a team of lawyers and
experts who were on hand to
represent the telecommunication company, received word the
application would not be heard
due to a lack of a quorum.
“We don’t have a quorum,”
said board member Jack Vitale
at the beginning of the meeting.
Planning Board Attorney
Ben
Montenegro,
of
Montenegro,
Thompson,
Montenegro & Genz, in Brick,
explained the board would not
have enough members to hear
the application “due to a couple
of absences.”
Planning board members
Charles Wills, Mary Jane
Bavais, Frank Scarpello and
Mike Permuko were in attendance, along with Mr. Vitale,
Point Pleasant Councilman Jack
McHugh
and
Borough
Administrator Dave Maffei,
who each also sit on the planning board.
Chairman James Giordano,
Vice President Carl Feltz and
member Ron Venturi were not
present.
Councilman McHugh and
Mr. Maffei have to recuse themselves from participating in TMobile discussions because the
proposed site on Burnt Tavern
Road is municipal property.
Without Councilman McHugh
and Mr. Maffei, there would
have been no quorum.
The T-Mobile application
was rescheduled for March 17.
Frank Ferraro, of the firm
Ferraro & Stamos, based in
Northvale, confirmed he will
represent T-Mobile Northeast
in the application to set up
antennas at 1123 Burnt Tavern
Road, on the tower near the fire
department.
The company is seeking Point
Pleasant
Planning
Board
approval for conditional use of
the property, bulk variances, and
preliminary and final site plan
approval.
T-Mobile Northeast plans to
expand on the use of the existing, elevated water tank at the
property as an anchor for up to
nine, communications antennas
that are proposed to be attached
to the existing, 151-foot-tall
water tank on the property, at a
height of 124 feet.
The company’s Burnt Tavern
Road application comes on the
heels of the planning board’s
denial of T-Mobile Northeast’s
application to construct a new
cellular phone tower between
Edgar Road and Bridge
Avenue, near borough hall and
the police station.
T-Mobile had sought to
expand the location by removing
the existing 102-foot tower,
which holds antennas for the
Point
Pleasant
Police
Department and first aid squad,
and erecting a new, 120-foot,
lattice tower.
In December, planning board
members delivered a 3-3 vote,
which denied the application.
Mr. Giordano, former member Eugene DeJong and Ronald
Venturi voted in favor of the TMobile application at the meeting in December.
Mr. Feltz, along with Ms.
Bavais and Mr. Wills, voted
against the application.
Hiering,
Dupignac,
Stanzione, Dunn & Beck, in
Toms River, represented TMobile Northeast during that
application process, and would
represent the company during
appeal.
A representative for Ocean
County
Superior
Court
Assignment Judge Vincent
Grasso this week stated TMobile has not yet filed an
appeal.
Attorneys for the company
have successfully argued in various cases throughout the
country that a municipality
infringes on the company’s
right to compete when tower
construction is denied.
Lynne Dunn and Michael
Beck, the two attorneys from
Hiering, Dupignac, Stanzione,
Dunn & Beck who appeared
before the planning board on
behalf of T-Mobile in the
Edgar Road application, could
not be reached for comment
this week.
In one of the two applications the planning board did
have a quorum for last week,
Kenneth Deiner represented
himself, and sought exempt site
plan approval to open an
upscale Italian restaurant in the
borough.
The board approved Mr.
Deiner’s plan and the restaurant, Fresca Ristorante, is on
the way.
The unit is located at 632
Ocean Road in the borough,
next to a Chinese restaurant.
There are eight units in the
strip, two of which are vacant.
Mr. Deiner’s restaurant will
now occupy one of the vacant
slots.
In addition to the chinese
restaurant, which does take-out
and delivery, the location also
has a bagel shop, laundromat,
hair salon and dance studio.
According to Mr. Deiner, he
plans to have 40 seats and
approximately 10 tables in the
restaurant. His proposed hours
of operation are 5 to 10 p.m.,
every day except Monday, when
the restaurant will be closed.
He said he anticipates
employing two servers each
night, two kitchen workers, a
hostess and himself. Mr. Deiner
said he is a chef and will mainly work in the kitchen.
According to state statute, an
establishment with more than
15 seats must have two bathrooms, one for men and one for
women. Currently, the unit Mr.
Deiner will occupy has one
bathroom. He is in the process
of creating the second and
making the premises handicapped accessible.
After some questioning
about the dumpster, Mr. Deiner
assured board members the area
is “fenced in” and he plans to
take the garbage out every
night.
The board approved Mr.
Deiner’s application, 6-0.
The second of the two applications brought before the
planning board sought approval
for a minor subdivision.
Borough residents Robert
and Elizabeth Stacy, of Osborn
Avenue, petitioned the planning board for permission to
subdivide
their
property.
Attorney Kevin Kukfa represented Mr. and Mrs. Stacy.
Board members approved the
plan, 5-1, with Mr. Wills casting the only vote in opposition.
Mr. Wills did not provide a reason at the time of his vote, but
earlier in the discussion
expressed his desire to have
sidewalks installed as part of
the approval.
The Stacy’s proposed to subdivide their current, singlefamily residence at 214 Osborn
Ave. into two, single-family
residences. The couple have
See T-MOBILE, page 21
businesses along Route 88 and
Bridge Avenue in Point Pleasant
were burglarized between July 29
and Wednesday, Aug. 11.
Mr. Richards now stands formally charged with four of the
seven business burglaries.
Police have not charged Mr.
Richards for the remaining three
crimes.
According to Capt. Larsen,
Mr. Richards was charged with
one count of third-degree burglary and one count of criminal
mischief in excess of $500 this
week for the July 29 burglary of
the Riptide Grill, located at 3126
Bridge Ave. in the borough.
Police also charged Mr.
Richards this week with one
count of third-degree burglary,
one count of theft of cash, and
one count of criminal mischief
for the Aug. 7 burglary of the
Cookie Lady Cafe, located at
2501 Route 88 in the borough.
Also on Aug. 7, Mr. Richards
allegedly broke into the
Shorehouse Tavern, located at
2114 Route 88 in the borough.
For that alleged crime, Mr.
Richards stands charged with
one count of third-degree burglary, one count of theft of cash,
and one count of criminal mis-
chief.
The fourth incident for which
police charged Mr. Richards this
week was the Aug. 11 burglary of
New China, a restaurant located
at 2700 Route 88 in the borough.
For the New China incident,
police charged Mr. Richards with
one count of third-degree burglary, and one count of criminal
mischief.
In November, while Mr.
Richards was out on bail for the
August burglary of Latitude 40
in Point Beach, police again
arrested him, for allegedly burglarizing a St. Louis Avenue
home.
Following his arrest for the
Latitude 40 burglary, the Point
Pleasant
Beach
Police
Department, processed, and
transferred Mr. Richards to the
Ocean County Jail, in Toms
River. Bail was set at $10,000,
with no 10-percent option. He
posted bail and was released.
At the time, police stated they
believed Mr. Richards was
responsible for the commercial
burglaries in the borough, but
did not formally charge him until
this week.
According to Point Pleasant
Beach Detective Clint Daniel,
Mr. Richards allegedly entered
the St. Louis Avenue residence,
stole a laptop, car keys and other
items.
Mr. Richards then reportedly
used the car keys to steal the
family’s vehicle and flee the
scene. No one was home at the
time of the burglary.
The car, a 2006 Toyota
Corolla, was later discovered
abandoned, with the keys in car,
in Point Pleasant.
Detective Daniel said physical
evidence linked Mr. Richards to
the residential burglary, and officials charged him with the crime.
Mr. Richards was released
from custody after again posting
bail, this time in the amount of
$15,000. He was never indicted
for the St. Louis Avenue burglary.
Detective Daniel confirmed
recently that Mr. Richards has an
escape on his criminal record
from years ago, in addition to
prior burglary convictions. He
could not confirm whether Mr.
Richards escaped from prison or
a halfway house.
Mr. Richards remains incarcerated in Middlesex County.
Capt. Larsen said Mr.
Richards will be informed of the
new charges against him and the
case will now be handed over to
the Ocean County Prosecutor’s
Office for possible indictment.
Point Pleasant man surrenders
to state police after hit-and-run
By Eric Colvin
Two days after he struck a
pedestrian at the Forked River
Service area on the Garden State
Parkway, Point Pleasant resident
Justin J. Loverdy turned himself
in to New Jersey State Police.
Mr. Loverdy, 22, admitted to
state police last week that he left
the scene of the accident, heading
south on the Parkway, after hit-
ting Joseph Rizzo, 22, of Bayville.
The incident occurred at 5:25
p.m. Feb. 16 at the rest area. Mr.
Loverdy was flown to the Jersey
Shore Regional Trauma Center,
in Neptune, where he was in critical condition and suffering from
head injuries.
Mr. Rizzo was discharged days
after the accident.
Witnesses identified the vehi-
cle Mr. Loverdy was operating at
the time of the incident, reportedly a Jeep Liberty.
According to police, Mr.
Loverdy was charged with assault
by auto and leaving the scene of
an accident that caused serious
bodily injury.
Mr. Loverdy posted $20,000
bail and was released. A date to
appear has yet to be determined.

Point Pleasant
H.S. continues to offer technology courses
ner
Desigses
Dres
The Point Pleasant Borough
students of today have a distinct advantage over their
predecessors when it comes to
technology-based
learning
opportunities.
A simple review of the high
school’s
Annual
Course
Selection Guides from the past
10 years shows a clear timeline
that attests to the rapid evolution of technology.
Before 2001, Point Pleasant
students interested in computer technology had the option
of taking a keyboarding class,
or perhaps a word processing
class — or, if they were very
dedicated to computer technology, the all-encompassing
Computer
Applications
Course.
In fact, it was not until the
2001-2002 school year that the
high school began to offer lessons on Web design as a part
of the course Computer
Applications III: Internet and
Web Page Design.
Only after they mastered
Computer Concepts I and II
could juniors and seniors then
elect to take part in what the
selection guide described as a
course to teach writing
Internet applications and
design, and construct Web
pages.
Topics included working
with graphic images, sound,
animation and interactivity.
The goal was to give the students a strong foundation in
HyperText Markup Language
[HTML], the coding language
of websites.
Web historians estimate
there were about 40 million
websites at the end of 2002,
today that number is more
than 180 million. And, as websites have grown exponentially,
their design and purpose have
been transforming almost as
rapidly. From static information sources to powerful interactive, communication tools,

modern websites are essential
for the success of every business and organization.
The advancements in technology have also led the New
Jersey’s Core Curriculum
Consortium to alter all content
areas to include technological
interventions.
“Technology is not only
changing how our students
learn,” said Director of
Curriculum and Instruction
Robert Alfonse, “but it is also
altering what our students
learn.”
According to Mr. Alfonse, a
strong foundation in the fundamentals of technology is
necessary for students to succeed in the 21st century and
beyond.
Through such reasoning,
Point Pleasant now offers distinct courses in Introduction to
Web Design and Advanced
Web Design.
Introduction
to
Web
Design, taught by David
Fisher, provides students with
working knowledge of cascading style sheets [CSS],
HTML, JavaScript as well as
design programs like Adobe’s
Dreamweaver, Photoshop and
Flash.
“Web design can be an
extremely gratifying experience as students see their work
take shape,” Mr. Fisher said.
“Our students learn how to
transform seemingly meaningless strings of code into
dynamic, visually appealing
web pages.”
Mr. Fisher maintains an
online portfolio of his students’ web
projects
at
www.pantherpath.com.
“Having their work displayed on the Panther Path
website helps to legitimize
their work while giving friends
and family the opportunity to
review the work across any web
browser,” said Mr. Fisher.
Mr. Fisher said he also has
several students who will compete in the New Jersey
Institute of Technology’s Fifth
Annual
Web
Design
Competition next month.
“Internet
technology,
including mobile technology,
is still relatively new,” said Mr.
Fisher. “Any student looking to
establish a firm base of technological literacy is highly
encouraged to consider a
course like this. With a strong
base, the potential is limitless.”
Point Pleasant High School
Vice Principal and District
Technology
Coordinator
Kevin McDermitt could not
agree more.
“No organization can survive without an Internet presence,” said Mr. McDermitt.
“Whether for a school, a charitable organization, or a
Fortune 500 company, websites are absolutely necessary.

further.
He said Officer Christopher

driving on Bay Avenue Sunday
afternoon. Officer Woit then

Officer MacIver later charged
him with the crimes.

Ms. Finch said.

The noise dispute over non-compliance issues relating to an outdoor walk-in refrigerator
box at Theresa’s South restaurant in Bay Head is over, after management moved the refrigerator inside the Main Avenue restaurant.
JUST LISTED
717 Main Avenue, Bay Head
Restaurant moves controversial refrigerator
indoors, ending disagreement with borough
By Nick Malfitano
The dispute over the outdoor
refrigerator at a Main Avenue
restaurant, here, which drew
much public attention over the
last few months, has reached a
conclusion, as the owners of
Theresa’s South agreed to move
the alleged source of noise disturbances inside the restaurant.
The members of the Bay
Head
Planning
Board
announced at last week’s meeting that Theresa’s South management withdrew its most
recent application to maintain
the outdoor, walk-in refrigerator
which drew criticism from
neighbors and the Borough of
Bay Head, who claimed the lack
of indoor access to the refrigerator created a noise problem, and
violated an earlier agreement
between the borough and the
restaurant.
The dispute between the
Borough of Bay Head and
Theresa’s South began in
August, when the owners of
Theresa’s South received correspondence from Bay Head
Borough
Attorney
Jean
Cipriani.
The correspondence stated
that the borough would file a
complaint seeking to shut down
the restaurant if owners did not
“demonstrate compliance” with
several alleged problems within
10 days of receiving the letter.
According to the letter,
Theresa’s South had not honored several conditions of a
planning board variance which
was granted to the restaurant in
2008, and the borough wanted
the non-compliance issues
addressed immediately.
These conditions included
the limiting of noise whenever
possible, and the provision of
indoor access to the restaurant’s
outdoor, walk-in refrigerator
box.
The matter was heard at several previous planning board
meetings, but a significant conclusion was not reached until
last week.
In November, Theresa’s South
owners Robert Scalera, Richard
O’Connor and Richard Bassi
submitted an application to the
planning board for relief from

PUBLIC PRAYER NOT A PROBLEM EVERYWHERE
Editor, The Ocean Star:
Watching television the past few days, I’ve seen
pictures of thousands of men bowing down on
their knees praying in the streets of Middle
Eastern countries.
They had better not try that kind of public display of prayer in the Point Pleasant Beach town
council meetings. The ACLU would surely get
after them.

CARMIE BRADY FOUNDATION EXPRESSES
GRATITUDE FOR FUNDRAISER SUCCESS
At the miracle in Cana, Jesus changed water into
wine. At the miracle at Crystal Point, Joe Stephens
Jr., of Gerard’s Wine & Liquors, changed wine into
money for seriously ill children.
We are happy to report that the fundraiser that
Joe ran for the Carmie Brady Foundation was a
great success. The event was attended by 400 jubilant people who had the opportunity to sample
over 300 types of wine, along with exotic beer and
spirits.
On behalf of all the members of the Carmie
Brady Foundation, and on behalf of the families of
seriously ill children, we express our sincere thanks
to Joe and his family and to Bob Trusdale, the
owner of Crystal Point, who did a great job in seeing to it that everything was perfect that night.
Thanks also to the men and women who donated
their time to present the wine and spirits to our
guests, and to the donors of the magnificent gifts
for the silent auction. Thanks also to the jazz band,
and to the dedicated volunteers who collected tickets at the door, and to those who sold raffle tickets.
Joe was elated to learn that the first $2,000 from
the wine tasting was donated to a graduate of Point
Pleasant High School, whose child is scheduled to
undergo open-heart surgery next month in
Philadelphia.
Finally, we would like to thank the editors and
writer of The Ocean Star for your comprehensive
coverage of the event. Thanks to you, the event was
sold out almost a month in advance.
Of course, we thank all of those wonderful people who attended the event in order to help families of seriously ill children. We hope that you will
come to our annual fundraiser, which has been
moved to Jenkinson’s Pavilion on April 10, from 2
to 6 p.m.

LAVALLETTE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE MORE
CONCERNED ABOUT BARNEGAT BAY
I was disappointed, but not surprised, as in the
past, when the Lavallette mayor and the Lavallette
council president came out against the program to
contribute $1 of each beach badge sold in
Lavallette to help Barnegat Bay. They said, “We
don’t make money on our beaches.” That is a complete lie! Just the month previous, they were patting
themselves on the back for making the most
money ever in the history of Lavallette beach
badge sales in 2010.
Even though these two politicians and their
families have enjoyed the waters of Barnegat Bay,
they are not, at this point, interested in helping to
“save Barnegat Bay.” As bad as it is for the mayor
and council president to take this position, it bothers me more to note that the five other members of
the council did not question their position. I should
not be surprised. I have attended council meetings
for the past three years, and never once has anyone
on the council questioned the mayor’s decision.
[Not when he wanted to sell the beachfront to an
advertising agency, or when he did not oppose the
sale of a street to building developers. No one on
the council objected.] It seems they think the king
can do no wrong.

From Page 16
It took the taxpayers’ money in court to cancel
the beachfront problem and the large turnout of
citizens at several council meetings to pressure
the building developers into withdrawing their
offer to buy part of Lavallette Avenue.
The Lavallette Council is most concerned in
building a budget surplus for their election. In
2010, we had a budget surplus of almost $1 million — that helped their election.
But, back to the Barnegat Bay problem. The
county is no help — they still allow sewerage to
flow into the bay. The state, under Gov. Christie,
who vacations in Florida, is less than helpful. He
has already vetoed a bill that would have been
helpful. The only people that seems concerned
with the problem are the children in our
Lavallette school system. They are working to
inform the citizens of Lavallette and the politicians of the problem. Let’s hope they are successful, as no one else seems concerned.
What is going to happen? The properties
within smelling distance of the bay will continue
to lose value. Who wants to live by a body of
water you cannot swim in, water ski in, safely sail
or motor boat in, much less smell? Too bad we
can’t place the blame for this catastrophe on
someone else, but we are the ones that put the
politicians in place. When your property value
drops 20 to 30 percent in value, you will then
want to do something about it.

PUBLIC PRAYER D OES NOT BELONG AT
COUNCIL MEETINGS
I am a lifelong practicing Catholic who attends
Mass every week and says the Rosary every night.
That doesn’t mean I am better than anyone else
in this world. I think I am a person who can add
some perspective to the debate about the recitation of prayer before town council meetings.
I’ve always been surprised at the recitation of
the Our Father at the beginning of the meetings.
I believe it isn’t appropriate given my understanding of the Constitution. Just as importantly, it was not appropriate given how it made several non-Christian friends of mine feel uncomfortable.
People might be surprised about the actual
religious beliefs of the founding fathers, especially Thomas Jefferson. Although considered a
Christian and having been raised first in the
Church of England and then an Episcopalian,
Jefferson’s belief can most accurately be defined
as a deist philosophy. Although he believed in
one God and felt that Christianity was the highest expression of a natural religion, he did not
believe that Jesus was divine, did not believe in
the virgin birth, rejected the idea of the Trinity,
and did not believe in miracles. Jefferson felt the
Old Testament and much of the New Testament
was hogwash. During his Presidency Jefferson
refused to issue proclamations calling for days of
prayer and thanksgiving. John Adams and Ben
Franklin had similar beliefs. George Washington
was not as deeply religious as people would suspect.
Jefferson used the phrase “wall of separation
between Church and State” in his letter to the
Danbury Baptist church which has been used for
the basis of several Supreme Court decisions on
this issue. Jefferson and the other founding
fathers made it a point to establish a secular government. Any prayer that elevates one religion
above any other has no place at the beginning of
any government meeting. The Constitution, and
later, the Bill of Rights were adopted to protect
the rights of the minority from being overwhelmed by the majority based on how the
majority “feels”. The ACLU was disparaged
because they took up this cause. They provide a
needed counter measure to ensure that all of our
citizens are offered the protections afforded by
the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
A priest once told me we may not understand
how God manifests Himself to different people.
Could he present Himself to people in the middle-east as Allah, or to people in Asia as Buddha?
To say that there is one God may be accurate, but
who is to say it must be the one Christians refer
to.
Nobody is denying the right of people to pray,
only not out loud at government meetings. While
possibly laying off 3 police officers, paying to litigate this is unconscionable. For members of the
council to violate the court order is outrageous.
They should be held financially responsible for
the legal costs involved, not the citizens.
Remember, kindness is also a form of prayer.

MUNICIPALITIES SHOULD SHARE SCHOOL
COSTS EQUALLY
The State of New Jersey has had a long-standing goal to incorporate a municipality’s “ability to
pay” as the primary factor in apportioning school
district costs. In 2007, the state passed the
Uniform Shared Services and Consolidation Act
to consolidate non-operating school districts
with actual school districts, to spread the education costs to a broader property-owner tax base.
Even before Mantoloking was compelled to
join the Beach district, it took discreet steps to
protect its low property taxes, while the Point
Pleasant Beach Board of Education and town
council apparently had no clue. Mantoloking’s
July 16, 2007 resolution to hire special counsel
Dr. Vito A. Gagliardi [the former New Jersey
State Commissioner of Education] stated, “the
legislation, when fully implemented, will have
unwanted and significant material impact upon
... property owners,” recognizing their obligation
to fund the district based on property valuation.
Dr. Gagliardi has strong ties with the
Department of Education, which granted
Mantoloking virtually no obligation to contribute
tax dollars based on property valuation [0.5 percent]. Other wealthy towns pay 67 to 95 based on
percent property valuation.
The Librera formula was recognized as the
appropriate cost allocation method upheld in
2007, named after former Department of
Education commissioner William Librera. It is
based on “the fact that under the laws of this
state, the local share a community is required to
contribute to the funding of public schools is
directly related to its ability to pay.”
It concluded that “any fair apportionment must
retain wealth as the dominant factor, with the
appropriate balance being two-thirds wealth to
one-third part pupil enrollment.” The recommended method specifies 67 percent of the tax
apportionment be derived through the equalized
valuation method and 33 percent based on the
proportion of student enrollment.
In my interview with former the assistant
county superintendent, Dr. Foster acknowledged
the Librera formula as standard, but indicated
that “no one from Point Pleasant Beach objected
to the apportionment proposed.”
Had the Librera formula been adopted, as
much as $4.5 million would have been contributed by Mantoloking property taxes to the
Beach School District. As it stands ,Mantoloking
pays only 0.5 percent by the equalized valuation
method in the first year, in which Mantoloking
reduced its school budget by close to 50 percent
because of administrative cost savings.
At the same time, Beach residents saw the
municipal portion of the school budget increase
by close to $1 million. Clearly not aware of the
damage done, Dr. Savage remarked to me, it “is
good money,” referring to Mantoloking’s perpupil contribution totaling less than $90,000.
However, when Mantoloking joined the Point
Pleasant Beach School district, the education
commissioner accepted Mantoloking’s apportionment cost “for the first year” [2009-2010].
Instead of schemes to bribe voters with free adult
classes and rumors of a referendum question to
waive the 2-percent cap, the Point Beach BOE
should decide to wake up and represent the taxpayers. The BOE is required to place a referendum ballot question to modify the apportionment formula for the upcoming school year that
can start to bring Mantoloking’s contribution in
line with the Beach taxpayer burden.

the conditions outlined in Ms.
Cipriani’s letter.
That application was withdrawn in December and replaced
with a new, which sought to
maintain the status quo on the
property by keeping the walk-in
refrigerator box outside the
restaurant building.
Both the owners of Theresa’s
South and the restaurant’s neighbors were expected to be in attendance at last week’s planning
board meeting, accompanied by
both their respective attorneys
and expert witnesses providing
testimony — similar to a hearing
held for the previous application
in November.
The restaurant owners were
represented in their applications
by Roberta A. Burcz, a Point
Pleasant-based attorney who also
serves as defender in the Bay
Head Municipal Court, while
neighbors of the restaurant were
represented by Bay Head attorney William Gage.
However, the expected hearing
did not occur, and the board soon
revealed the reason for that. The
planning board received a letter
dated Jan. 30 from two of the
three owners of Theresa’s South
— Mr. O’Connor and Mr.
Scalera — stating they wished to
withdraw their most recent application.
Addressing the board in the
letter, Mr. O’Connor and Mr.
Scalera wrote, “As you are all
aware, over the course of the past
three years, we have appeared
before you asking for various zoning relief, and you have responded very favorably to these
requests. We have now come to a
point that we no longer wish to
pursue any further hearings, and
are officially withdrawing our
application scheduled for the
February meeting.”
The owners stated they did not
want to endure another long
hearing of back-and-forth testimony.
“We, and I am sure you all,
have listened to the monotonous
droning of all the testimony given
both for and against our various
applications, and have had
enough,” Mr. O’Connor and
Scalera wrote. “We do not want
to put ourselves through it all
over again, as well as the board.”
The Theresa’s South owners
went on to state that within a
month of the Jan. 30 letter, the
walk-in refrigerator box would be
moved back inside the restaurant
building,
thereby
placing
Theresa’s South in full compliance with the planning board’s
prior resolution.
“We know that the board was
in a difficult position, as
expressed at one of the hearings,
and we understand all of these
circumstances, and this is the
main reason for our decision. We
respect the board and say thank
you,” the owners stated.
Planning board member
David Kellogg stated that he
happened to drive past Theresa’s
South earlier in the day last
Wednesday and observed the
refrigerator was, in fact, moved
back inside the restaurant.
When contacted this week,
Mr. O’Connor stated that the
refrigerator’s presence inside the
restaurant leaves the management and staff with less available
space, and offers “absolutely” no
benefit to the restaurant itself.
However, the restaurant coowner said it was too early to tell
whether the refrigerator being
back indoors would affect business.
“We haven’t had a rush [of customers] yet, but the refrigerator is
back inside,” Mr. O’Connor said.
The restaurant co-owner stated that continuing to pursue the
matter with the planning board
was a great expense to Theresa’s
South, and said in today’s unfavorable economy, that expense
proved to be too much of a burden.
“It’s definitely an expense,”
Mr. O’Connor said, “We would
have needed six yes votes [a twothirds majority of planning board
members] to keep the refrigerator
outside, and we didn’t think that
we had the six. That’s why we
folded up our tent.”
When asked about Theresa’s
South’s relationship with the borough, Mr. O’Connor replied simply, “the same.
While the planning board was
hearing Theresa’s South’s case,
some residential supporters of the
restaurant characterized the borough’s handling of the matter as
“anti-business.”
When asked about that this
week, Mr. O’Connor said he feels
zoning laws in Bay Head are too
restrictive, but emphasized that
the restaurant will abide by the
planning board’s prior decision.
“It’s over and done — let’s get
on with it,” Mr. O’Connor said
Wednesday.
Bay Head Mayor William
Curtis said this week he felt the
anti-business criticisms voiced by
some Theresa’s South supporters
were “totally unfounded.”
“That is not true at all,” the
mayor said. “The current council
is not, and has never been, against
any businesses in Bay Head.”
Mayor Curtis stated that the
borough’s relationship with the
restaurant is “excellent” — and a
good one.
“This was just an unfortunate
thing that should have been acted
upon earlier,” Mayor Curtis said.
“I’m not pointing fingers at anyone, but [the dispute] should
have been resolved earlier if it was
a problem.”
Mayor Curtis said, now that
the refrigerator has been moved
indoors, he anticipated no further
“bones of contention” over the
matter, and stressed that Theresa’s
South is very good for Bay Head,
bringing much business and
many customers into town.
Councilman James Urner, a
neighbor of Theresa’s South who
testified against the restaurant
before the planning board, said
this week he was satisfied with
the decision Theresa’s South
announced last week.
The councilman wanted to
emphasize this week that the dispute in this matter was not so
much about noise, as it was “noncompliance with town resolutions,” to which the restaurant
ownership agreed prior to
Theresa’s South’s opening in
November 2008.
When asked this week if he
now heard less noise coming
from the restaurant property
since the refrigerator was moved
inside, the councilman responded
in the affirmative, simply, “Yes.”
However, Councilman Urner
said he could not necessarily
speak for other neighbors
involved in the matter.

Filmmaker Kim Surowicz, of Point Pleasant Beach, developed advertisements for local businesses using a green
screen [left]. She also worked as a producer for the feature
film “The Interpreter,” starring Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn,
and was present for scenes being shot at the United Nations
in New York City [above]. Ms. Surowicz and her friend, Vasilia
Hughes, closed down Seventh Avenue in New York City
[right] to shoot for the film “Fighting,” a movie about underground street-fighting, on which Ms. Surowicz also worked as
a producer.
Point Beach’s Kim Surowicz gives local
film scene a boost, one indie at a time
‘I
’m trying to figure out
how to make movies and
have a life here,” said Kim
Surowicz, who only
recently settled into her little house
on Ocean Avenue in Point Pleasant
Beach, where she moved approximately 18 months ago.
This was Ms. Surowicz’s sum
reaction to 15 years in the movie
industry, with her time split
between jobs on studio lots in Los
Angeles and freelancing as a producer on film shoots all over the
country. Now, Ms. Surowicz is
looking to take on her own projects.
“I want to have more control,
and doing that means taking on
smaller, more independent projects,” Ms. Surowicz said.
She is doing just that, balancing
a steady life in Point Pleasant Beach
with a search for new and stimulating film projects.
One such film is “The Cohesion
Project,” a documentary about three
extraordinary men who also happen
to have cerebral palsy, a chronic
condition that affects body movement and muscle coordination. Ms.
Surowicz is collaborating on the
film with her longtime friend,
Doug Bollinger, who owns Strollo’s
Lighthouse Ices on Ocean Avenue
in Point Pleasant Beach.
“This is a project that I am so
behind, because it’s so good and
such a worthy cause,” Ms. Surowicz
said of the documentary, which she
said has been a challenging and
rewarding endeavor in independent
film production and financing.
The pair is funding the project
through donations from friends,
family and colleagues, as well as
with their own, out-of-pocket contributions.
After the documentary is completed, the pair plans to take it to
festivals, shop it around to cable
networks, and sell DVDs.
“We didn’t want someone else
backing the project so that we could
maintain control, so we could make
it the way we wanted to and distribute it how we wanted to,” she said,
of the decision to keep the project
independent.
Such projects warrant independent funding, and they have posted a
trailer at www.indiegogo.com/thecohesionproject, where backers can
pledge donations.
Ms. Surowicz and Mr. Bollinger
met a few years ago, when Ms.
Surowicz moved back to Point
Pleasant Beach.
“I would get my Tasti-D-Lite
there five times a week. No one has
Tasti-D-Lite, except in the city. I
don’t know how we got on the topic
of movies, but we became friends
instantly. It’s so ironic that after 15
years in the film business, the guy
who sells me ice cream in Point
Pleasant Beach is my most successful collaborator,” she said.
“She is like a Cirque du Soleil
performer when it comes to business,” Mr. Bollinger said. “She juggles a dozen projects. She makes
problems disappear. I don’t know
how she does it, I can barely cut
steak and talk.”
She and Mr. Bollinger toyed
with the idea of collaborating on a
project for years, never bringing
anything to fruition until the
opportunity to make “The
Cohesion Project” presented itself.
When they’re not shooting
footage, or reaching out to fund the
project, the pair works day jobs at
the William M. Ball Agency and
run Shore Riders, a bike rental business on Ocean Avenue. Ms.
Surowicz’s expertise has come in
handy in her jobs. She came up
with the idea of using a green screen
to create advertising materials for
both businesses.
“Green screen is used in movies
for visual effects,” she said. “You can
place anything or anybody in front
of it and then remove the green and
put them where ever you want. So
we used that concept in marketing
for the
real estate
agency
and the
bike rental
business.”

After graduating from New York on “The Rundown,” starring
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and
Christopher Walken. The experience, which took her to shoots in
Honolulu, HI, taught her so much
about the process of filmmaking
that she was ready for more as soon
as the shoot wrapped.
This led to more freelance production jobs, including on Dean
Parisot’s “Me Again” [2004],
Sydney Pollack’s “The Interpreter”
[2005], Wong Kar Wai’s “My
Blueberry Nights” [2007], and a
number of Martin Scorcese’s projects including “The Departed”

“Public Speaking” [2010], and “A

worked as an associate producer on
Dito Montiel’s “Fighting” [2009],
and as a production associate on
Michael Mann’s “Public Enemies”
[2009], starring Johnny Depp.
After all those major freelance
projects, Ms. Surowicz looks forward to getting back to smaller,
independent projects.
“I haven’t done the indie thing
for myself in a really long time,” she
said. “I do have connections to call
in favors with, and I’m just waiting
for the right project.”
For the moment, Ms. Surowicz
has stopped looking for paying
film work in order to focus her
attention entirely on the two
independent projects for which
she has to secure funding. One is
a scripted narrative, and the other
is “The Cohesion Project” documentary.
“I have to focus all my attention on these two projects before
I get out and find another,” she
said.

was home, even for a night,” Ms.
Surowicz said. “I never knew where
I was going to be next, and this was
always a good place to crash. Then
one day I thought, ‘you know what,
I think I live here.’”
Now that she’s starting to get
comfortable in her new life at the
Shore, and is settling into these two
independent projects, Ms. Surowicz
is enjoying finding local talent to
work with.
“I have a friend who is an assistant director in Manasquan. I met a
kid who ended up being a production assistant on “Fighting” at
Green Planet [on Arnold Avenue
in Point Pleasant Beach]. There are
people sprinkled around,” she said
of the local film scene.
“It’s great finding those people
who are really passionate but less
experienced, because they’re happy
to volunteer their time in exchange
for experience,” she said.
“I like the idea of finding talent
in a small community and collaborating with them. I like helping
young people. It’s amazing how
many people there are here who are
young, talented, smart and want to
get into the business.”
Getting into the business is
something Ms. Surowicz knows
plenty about.
“The movie business is such a
social business, especially in LA, so
I started a monthly gathering of
assistants,” she said. “These were
people that you’d talk to on the
phone constantly, but you’d never
actually meet. So I started faxing
out 300 invitations a week, and
that’s how everyone got ahead. The
more people you know, the better
off you are. The more people who
know you’re good at your job even
better.”
Ms. Surowicz is taking her
expertise to the team behind the
8th Annual Garden State Film
Festival in Asbury Park, for
which she plans to volunteer. It’s
an event that brings together
local filmmakers and film enthusiasts, a demographic of which
Ms. Surowicz is proud to be a
part.

The Atlantic Queen, a boat docked on Channel Drive in Point Pleasant Beach [above], suffered damage in what authorities described this week as a suspicious fire early last Thursday
morning. The fishing trawler’s captain and owner were charged this month with illegally harvesting flounder and black sea bass.
— FIRE —
From Page 1
summons for illegally harvesting
thousands of pounds of flounder
and black sea bass earlier this
month.
An employee at Point
Pleasant Packing, Channel
Drive, placed a 9-1-1 call at
12:37 a.m. Thursday morning,
reporting the fire on board the
boat.
When squads form the Point
Pleasant Beach Police and Fire
departments arrived, they found
the captain and another subject
attempting — unsuccessfully —
to put out the flames with fire
extinguishers, according to
Detective Petruzziello.
The fire was under control
within 30 minutes.
“The cause and origin of the
fire are under investigation.
There was no structural damage
to the vessel, and it was never in
danger of sinking,” Detective
Petruzziello said.
The investigation remains
open.
Detective
Petruzziello
acknowledged that the Atlantic
Queen was the same boat cited
earlier this month for overharvesting, but when asked this
week if the boat crew’s alleged
— T-MOBILE —
From Page 11
lived at the residence, Mr.
Stacy said, since 2001.
When asked the reason
behind their application, Mr.
Stacy provided a heartfelt
answer to the board.
“I’m in the boating business,”
Mr. Stacy explained. “The last
few years have been rough.”
As part of the subdivision,
the Stacy’s pool and garage will
be removed. The couple will
lose a significant portion of
their property, but gain the
needed finances through rent or
sale of the new home.
The property is currently 200
feet by 130 feet. The approved
subdivision will create a 135 by
130 foot property and a 65 by
130 foot property. The Stacy’s
current home will remain on
the larger of the two lots.
While there are no curbs or
sidewalks in the area, Mr. Wills
was determined to have this
subdivision begin the process of
creating curbs and sidewalks
throughout the neighborhood,
and Point Pleasant.
Fellow planning board members, particularly Chairman
Vitale
and
Councilman
McHugh, felt placing such a
condition on the Stacys was not
justified considering no other
property in the neighborhood
has curbs or sidewalks.
Chairman Vitale raised the
issue of drainage, especially
because of the removal of the
family’s pool, but recognized
the Stacy’s will have to submit
drainage patterns as part of the
permit process.
Drainage became a concern
regarding new construction in
the borough last year, after former mayor Martin Konkus,
who sat on the planning board,
said several residents contacted
him about flooding that
occurred as a result of construction at adjacent properties.
violation could be linked to the
suspicious fire, he said he could
not comment further on an
open investigation.
The New Jersey Department
of Environmental Protection
reported that the Atlantic Queen
harvested nearly 2,400 pounds
of summer flounder and more
than 1,200 pounds of black sea
bass in excess of state limits last
month.
“Our coastal waters support
rich and diverse commercial
fisheries, but it is imperative
that everyone — from captains
and owners of ocean-going
commercial vessels to the individual angler casting a line from
the beach or a pleasure boat —
obey the regulations that are in
place
to
protect
these
resources,” said New Jersey
Division of Fish and Wildlife
Capt. Mark Chicketano. “This
was a significant violation of
those regulations.”
Mr. Gentile and Mr. Stanley
were each charged with landing
summer flounder and sea bass
without valid permits, harvesting both species in excess of 10
percent of total weight of
species brought to the dock,
failing to notify the Division of
Fish and Wildlife that the
Atlantic Queen was fishing for
these species, and harvesting
summer flounder during a
closed season.
The owner and captain
could face penalties up to
$21,000, each.
Conservation officers boarded the Atlantic Queen shortly
after midnight on Jan. 25 after
noticing that it appeared to be
overloaded with summer
flounder and black sea bass.
The vessel had just docked in
Point Pleasant Beach after
returning from a 10-day fishing trip.
Under the direction of the
officers, the crew unloaded the
fish onto the dock, where they
were weighed. Although the
vessel did have appropriate
federal fisheries permits for
these species, it did not have
the appropriate state licenses
for either of the species landed.
The permits are necessary to
land the fish in New Jersey.
As a result, the vessel was
only legally permitted to land a
maximum of 200 pounds of
summer flounder. It had actually landed 2,397 pounds of
this fish.
The vessel was also only
legally permitted to harvest
100 pounds of black sea bass. It
had harvested 1,208 pounds of
this fish.
Regulations allow for a small
portion of these two fish species
to be brought to the dock. This
averts wasting of fish that are
incidentally caught in the harvesting of other species.
The Division of Fish and
Wildlife sold the fish to a
licensed dealer so they would
not go to waste, and is holding
the proceeds of the sale pending
adjudication of the case in Point
Pleasant Beach Municipal
Court, which convenes in Point
Pleasant Borough Hall.
Point Boosters plan
for a busy spring
In the upcoming weeks, the
Point
Pleasant
Borough
Athletic Boosters will be hosting new events, along with the
annual golf tournament in May
and the return of Track and
Field Day in June.
March will bring a new
event, as the first Dodgeball
Tournament is scheduled for
Saturday, March 19.
The event is open to the
entire community, including
students, parents and faculty.
Everyone is invited to create
teams of six to 10 people to
participate in a double-elimination tournament during the
day.
The tournament semifinals
and finals will take place at a
time to be determined, in the
evening.
April will also bring a new
event, as the Boosters will
sponsor a bowling night for
students and families. Teams
will compete for fun and prizes.
The cost, which is to be
determined, will include two
hours of bowling with pizza
and soda.
The Athletic Boosters’
Annual Golf Tournament is set
for May 1 at Cruz Farms,
Farmingdale. This year’s tournament will be different,
because students will be
allowed to play with the adults.
Middle school-aged children
to college students will play at a
special, discounted price.
The tournament is a shot-
gun start with a scramble format. The day will be filled with
food, including lunch before
the start, then burgers and hot
dogs on the turn, and a full
barbeque dinner at the end.
All beverages are included
— even the adult beverages.
There will be a gift auction
with many prizes available,
and a separate auction for golf
foursomes at private courses.

Nellie F. Bennett Elementary School third-grader Christopher Bono took a look at one of the
displays set up recently in the school as part of a self-esteem-boosting lesson students received.
Point students say thanks, help
build self-esteem in community
What two words have the
power to render a speech therapist speechless? Or cause a bus
driver to stop in his tracks? Or
even bring a tear to the eye of
the bravest police officer?
It’s as simple as “thank you.”
These two small words were
the focus of a unique selfesteem-building lesson in
Stephanie Smith’s third-grade
class at Nellie F. Bennett
Elementary School recently.
“The lesson included various
activities designed to help students recognize their unique
gifts,” said student teacher
Janet Magley, who developed
the lesson with Mrs. Smith.
“Beginning with an in-class
reading of Jamie Lee Curtis
and Laura Cornell’s I’m Gonna
Like Me, students explored the
idea of self-assuredness in any
circumstance,” continued Mrs.
Magley.
Mrs. Magley said the book
promotes a message of acceptance by approaching a boy’s and
a girl’s daily experiences as
opportunities to help build selfesteem.
“Whether they know all the
letters like the back of their
hand, or they think their ruler
is 10 inches long, the book
encourages the reader to accept
and love themselves,” continued Mrs. Magley, referring to
instances in the book. “By
embracing both their own and
their peers’ strengths, as well as
their foibles, the students learn
acceptance for themselves and
others.”
Following the reading of the
book, the students named some
of their own positive traits,
which were recorded on the
blackboard. Next, the students
wrote in their journals about
the topic of self-esteem, as well
as their perceived strengths.
“Because, sometimes, we
cannot recognize our own
strengths, the students shared
the assignment with their parents,” said Mrs. Smith. “The
parents also wrote something
special about their children.”
The
paying-it-forward
approach was sustained, as the
class went on to write something positive about up to four
of their classmates. These special qualities were then transcribed on colorful pictures of
sneakers, and hung on the bulletin board under the caption
“Put Spring in Someone’s
Step.”
Mrs. Smith said the students
then learned the correlation
between good feelings with
both giving and receiving compliments.
The final exercise asked the
students to write a letter to
share an expression of gratitude
for an unsung hero in their
lives.
Nine-year-old
Caitlyn
McGullam wrote a letter to her
bus driver.
“Thank you for taking me to
school and back home,” she
wrote.
Another student presented a
card to Nellie Bennett’s speech
teacher, Karen Ficarra.
“You are helpful because you
helped me with my speech,” the
student wrote. “I appreciate
what you do. Thank you for
helping me.”
Stunned by the kind gesture,
Ms. Ficarra expressed her gratitude, in turn, for the recognition.
“This makes me feel wonderful,” said
Ms. Ficarra.
“Moments like these are why I
do what I do.”
Aidan McLaughlin thanked
Point Pleasant Police Lt. Mike
Colwell for “keeping crime off
[his] street.”
Additional letters were presented to cafeteria workers and
crossing guards, as well as the
local police force and fire
department.
“These wonderful gestures
will go a long way in helping
our school community realize
how much they are appreciated
while our students benefit from
the good feelings generated by
sharing kindness with others,”
Mrs. Smith said.
Principal Jim Karaba also
expressed his thoughts on the
lesson.
“Positive self-esteem is an
important component of character education,” said Principal
Karaba. “When students show
respect for themselves and others, it helps to foster a positive
school climate, and because this
lesson extended beyond the
classroom, the entire community stands to benefit.
“I’d like to commend both
Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Magley
for helping instill a culture of
compassion in our students,”
Mr. Karaba concluded.

thread running throughout
conversations
with
Mr.
Coleman and in his films. In
“Born to the Sea,” Ryan and
Chelsea compare New Jersey
surf culture to the betterknown California scene,
where there are often better
waves with certain caveats.
“You can’t go in the water
the day after it rains, or else
you get sick,” Ryan says in the
film of the water in
California.
Though
he
describes the conditions in
New Jersey as “consistently
flat,” he also notes that the
shore sees all different types
of swell year-round, and that
it’s free of the environmental
limitations surfers face in
California.
Mr. Coleman described the
local surf scene.
“It’s a tight knit area but
people are pretty accepting of
everyone, as long as you’re
respectful,” he said. “In other
places there’s a lot of localism.
It does exist here, but not as
much if you respect people.”
That’s the message he looks
to convey in his films.
Coleman enjoys working
with the documentary format,
letting his subjects dictate the
content, though he would like
to work with the narrative
format at some point.
“I’m going into this next
one looking for vignettes

based on my subjects, but
we’ll see what happens,” he
said. “Like any filmmaker, you
try to guide the questions in a
certain direction, but it doesn’t always work that way. You
try to get as much as you can
out of your subjects and go
from there.”
“Born to the Sea” started
out with interviews of 10 people, but the final product
focused on just two. He was
able to pull out a story from
all the interviews in the editing process. Mr. Coleman
shoots, edits, and develops the
concept for his films.
“I mostly work alone,” he
said. “I learned editing in
school. They teach you everything there — shooting, editing, writing. There’s not really
much writing in these projects. It’s telling a story with
pictures.”
The solitude of filmmaking
is something Mr. Coleman
has gotten used to.
“It’s easy to get things done
when you’re doing it all yourself. Although it might be
nice to have someone else to
work with also,” he said.
Mr. Coleman even writes
and records original music for
his films. “Born to the Sea” is
available for viewing on Mr.
Coleman’s

“I believe that teachers actually

[Gov. Chris] Christie as far as
how he wants to handle tenure.
I prefer the annual merit system over lifetime tenure.”
GERRY MALARA
“Do you think the teacher tenure

“Absolutely, because there are
too many deadbeats.”
“No. My daughter is a teacher,
and I’m behind her 100 percent.”

There are good teachers, and

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.
According to Bill Runyon,
curator of the L. Ron Hubbard
House in Washington D.C., Mr.
Hubbard resided at 666 East Ave.
from 1949 through 1950. He
wrote and published Dianetics:
The Modern Science of Mental
Health while living in Bay Head.
The book deals with psychology
and techniques of self-improvement.
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, with
some of its more famous adherents including celebrity couples
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, as
well as 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’s headquarters is
now located in the Gold Base, an
unincorporated area of Riverside
County, Calif.
“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 said.
Daniel Bevere, an attorney
based in Nutley, and William
Craig, a licensed architect from
San Francisco, Calif., both
appeared at the planning board
meeting last week on behalf of
Heritage Properties International.
“The applicant wants to do
some minor deletions to the
A residence at 666 East Ave. in Bay Head, a home formerly occupied by author L. Ron
Hubbard, founder of the Church of Scientology, has been given the green light for a restoration project that would return the home to the way it appeared when Mr. Hubbard lived
there, from 1949 to 1950.
structure,” Mr. Bevere explained,
adding that when any change is
proposed for a non-conforming
structure — even a small one —
the property owners must appear
before the planning board to seek
approval for the proposed
changes.
The attorney then clarified that
the property is considered nonconforming because it was constructed before property setbacks
were required by borough code.
Currently, the front-yard setback of the property is 15.6 feet,
whereas a standard measurement
of 20 feet for a front-yard setback
is now required in Bay Head.
“Essentially, we’re not making
any major changes to the structure — certainly no additions,”
Mr. Bevere said. “All that’s being
done is we’re deleting an overhang and deleting a balcony.”
Mr. Bevere said the overhang
in question would be removed,
and the balcony would be
replaced by roof shingles, which
would be in line with how the
home looked in the late 1940s to
early 1950s.
Mr. Craig then stepped forward to describe his involvement
in the restoration project at 666
East Ave. He explained that the
architect of record on this project
is Gensler Architects, based in
Morristown, but that he was
hired as a consultant to Gensler
Architects for the project.
Mr. Craig said Gensler
Architects’ reputation with handling buildings of this nature
spans worldwide, and that
Gensler Architects were retained
by
Heritage
Properties
International for work on the Bay
Head home.
“I visited the house several
times, and have been intimately
involved with preparing the
[restoration] drawings,” Mr.
Craig stated.
Mr. Craig explained that 666
East Ave. is a three-story, singlefamily residence with seven bedrooms that was built at the turn of
the 20th century.
“We are going to do rather
extensive interior work, mainly
with finishes,” Mr. Craig said. “In
terms of the exterior, we are going
to be removing a one-story addition on the back corner of the
house, and we’re going to be
removing a lot of the items built
in the backyard over time.”
Mr. Craig repeated that some
work would also be done to the
front of the house, removing a
third-floor balcony and replacing
a small portion of the roof with
shingles.
Furthermore, windows from
the first-floor porch would be
replaced with screens, and an eave
overhang above the first floor
would be removed as well.
Board member Verity Frizzell
asked Mr. Craig if there were any

MINIMALLY INVASIVE STRESS RELIEF
Surgical treatment for stress
incontinence (urine leakage
under physical pressure) has traditionally consisted of either the
Burch procedure or the fiscal
sling. The former involves supporting the bladder neck and urethra with sutures that run internally from the vagina to the
pubic bone through an abdominal incision; the latter involves
supporting the upper urethra
with a sling made of the patient’s
own tissue. While both procedures are effective, they require
hospitalization, general anesthesia, and considerable recovery
time. Thus, it comes as big news
that a minimally invasive surgery
utilizing a “midurethral sling”
takes only 15-30 minutes and
can be performed on an outpatient basis under local sedation.
The procedure utilizes needles to
place a mesh strip under the urethra.
At our practice we understand
the unique needs of every one of
our patients. Our compassionate
staff will listen to your concerns
and ensure that you fully understand your treatment options. For
further information about anything discussed in today’s column, call 732-223-7877 for our
office located at 2401 Highway
35 (Orchard Park Medical
Building), Manasquan or 732206-9830 for the office at 525
Jack Martin Blvd., Suite 102,
Brick. We treat genitourinary
problems for adults and children.
New patients are always welcome.
P.S. The most common cause
of stress incontinence is “urethral hypermobility,” which is
poor urethral support.
historical reasons for restoring the
home to its late 1940s-early 1950s
look, when it was actually built at
the turn of the century.
Mr. Craig cited the fact that
Mr. Hubbard lived and worked in
the house during the late ’40s and
early ’50s.
When Ms. Frizzell asked
whether the home would ever be
made into a museum for Mr.
Hubbard, the architect was specific in his reply that it would not.
“A family will live there, and it
will retain its residential status,”
Mr. Craig said. “There will be no
advertising, and it’s not open to
the public.”
Board member William Furze
asked what the plan was for brick
pavers found in a yard to the
south side of the property, and
grass beyond that, facing west.
“The brick pavers will remain
in front of the fence [on the property], and grass will be placed in
the space where the family room
exists now,” Mr. Craig stated.
Resident Stan Niedzwiecki, of
Johnson Street, asked if the
height of the home would
change, but was told that the current height of 33.5 feet would
remain intact.
Currently, the height limit on
homes in the borough stands at
35 feet.
Mr. Niedzwiecki also inquired
about parking at the residence,
and Mr. Craig replied that a twocar garage on the property will
remain intact.
Mr. Craig clarified that the
impervious coverage onsite will
include the pavers and the structure itself.
Mr. Kellogg asked if pavers
were used in 1950, but Mr. Craig
stated that cobblestones have
been used since the days of
Ancient Rome to pave streets,
even though cobblestones were
obviously not found at 666 East
ave.
During their caucus on the
application, members of the planning board gave their opinions on
the proposed restoration work at
666 East Ave.
Ms. Frizzell said she was “generally in favor” of the application,
but would like to see more of the
impervious coverage, such as
pavers, on the property removed.
Mr. Kellogg stated that he
wanted to be certain that the
house will remain a single-family
dwelling, which he was then told
would be the case by planning
board attorney Steve Zabarsky,
who referred to Mr. Craig’s testimony.
“I think the proposed changes
improve the streetscape,” Mr.
Kellogg said.
Board
member
Peter
Harrington encouraged another
look at the paving materials on
the property, for aesthetic purposes, but was in favor of the application as well.
Mayor William Curtis commented that if the house were to
be restored to 1950s standards,
placing some grass at the property behind the fence would be
appropriate.
Board members Kathleen
Wintersteen, Mr. Furze, Patricia
Wojcik, Fred Applegate and
Councilwoman Jennifer BarnesGambert were all in favor of the
work to be done, as well.
When the vote was taken, the
application was unanimously
approved by all board members.

team topples
top-ranked CBA
Point Beach loses
heartbreaker to
Rumson Bulldogs
By Greg Domorski
LINCROFT — Who knew hope came in garnet
and white — or that it boasted a roster of 15 players?
Last Saturday, the eighth-seeded Point Pleasant
Beach Garnet Gulls boys basketball team clearly
demonstrated that on any given Saturday, the sweat
of hard work pays off on the scoreboard.
In a true thriller, Point Beach knocked off the
number-one Christian Brothers Academy [CBA] in
the
Shore

SHORE CONFERENCE Tournament, 56-55, at the
Point Beach 56 Robert J. Collins Arena at
Brookdale

head coach Nick Catania
closely studied CBA game tapes. The result? Catania
got to know the Colts better than they know themselves.
The work ethic of the Gulls’ coaching staff, combined with the devotion of the players, was on display Saturday afternoon.
CBA came into the game as the two-time defending Shore Conference champions, but this season, it
was time for another team to make history.
Point Beach’s victory over CBA sends the boys
basketball program to the Shore Conference
Tournament semifinals for the first time since 1968.
Saturday’s game, however, was no cake walk for
the Garnet Gulls.
In a staggering moment of déjà vu, Point Beach
gave up the lead to CBA in the fourth quarter — the
second time the Gulls have suffered a late-game
scare against CBA.
The two teams met last season in the Shore
Conference Tournament, and Point Beach lost, 5552, after being up by four points with just over two
minutes remaining in the game.
With 2:07 left in Saturday’s game, Point Beach
forward Jordan Kaufman was called for an offensive
foul and the official added a technical on forward
Riley Calzonetti, swinging the momentum of the
game.
By Greg Domorski
LINCROFT — After completing a stunning
upset of top-ranked Christian Brothers Academy in
the Shore Conference Tournament quarterfinals [see
story, left] and defeating conference powerhouse
Lakewood earlier in the season, the members of the
Point Pleasant Beach boys basketball team got a
taste of their own medicine, and fell victim to the
upset bug.
On Wednesday night, at
SHORE CONFERENCE Brookdale
Community
Point Beach 47 College, here, the Gulls fell
short, 52-47, against the
Rumson
52 Rumson-Fair Haven Bulldogs
in the Shore Conference semiSEMIFINALS
finals.
Jarelle Reischel led the Gulls with 25 points and
19 rebounds, but the Gulls remained cold from the
floor.
Outside Point Beach threats Kevin Donahue,
Mike Rotando and Jordan Kaufman combined for
just 12 points, allowing Rumson to collapse on
Reischel in the paint. With shots not falling from the
perimeter, Point Beach had no answer for the
Bulldogs’ defense.
The Gulls also allowed 22 turnovers in a tough
night at the Robert J. Collins Center.
Both the Gulls and Bulldogs started off in a
slump, and it was not until the third minute of the
game that Reischel hit the first basket.
This unleashed a torrent of scoring for Point
Beach early on.
Guard Riley Calzonetti had a putback underneath
the basket, and Jordan Kaufman scored in transition
for the 6-0 lead.
The Bulldogs were able to close in on Point
Beach, but the Gulls held on to the 11-7 lead at the
end of the first.
In the second quarter, the two teams remained
tight, with the Gulls holding on to a slim, 21-18 lead
heading into the locker room.
Calzonetti had a promising start to the game,
scoring 10 of his points in the first half, but could not
find the basket in the second.

Feerst is Group I
champ in 1,600
By Greg Domorski
TOMS RIVER —
Whether it is running cross
country in sticky mud or
keeping pace on the soft
track surface, Point Beach
junior Brianna Feerst just
keeps on winning.
Last Friday, at the John
Bennett Indoor Complex,
here, Feerst won her first
Group I title, placing first in
the 1,600 meters while taking fourth in the 800.
Feerst placed first in both
at the NJSIAA sectional
championships on Feb. 4.
In the 1,600, the secondplace finisher — Rachel
Quinn, of Haddon Heights
— was nipping at Feerst’s
heels early in the race.
It was not until after the
fourth lap — when the two
almost tripped — that
Feerst realized her top
opponent was closing in on
the lead.
“I didn’t know she was
behind me,” said Feerst. “I
realized she was right there
in the fourth lap, and I knew
In her first season
running indoor
track for
Point Beach,
Feerst tops
the competition
in the final two laps I had to
run faster or she was going
to catch me.”
But Quinn did not have a
chance in the final stretch.
Feerst bolted ahead with
150 meters left in the race,
finishing with an indoor
personal-best of 5:09.66.
Quinn
finished
at
5:10.32,
while
Haddonfield’s Shelby Cain
trailed in third, crossing the
finish line 13 seconds
behind Quinn.
Feerst, the Ocean County
cross country champion, was
pleased to see her training
efforts translate into becoming a track star.
“It is really exciting,
because this was my first
year participating in winter
track,” she said.
“In winter track, I really
did not have any expectations of how I was going to
do,” Feerst noted. “I was just
running to stay in shape for
spring track.
“I knew I was going to
run in [the championships],
but I didn’t know who was
going to be in it, or who I
was going to be running
against, or how fast it would
be,” she added.
It is no secret that winning a distance event tires
the body, and Feerst just
could not recover to perform
to her potential in the 800.
Feerst finished fourth
with a 2:25.12 time, behind
New Providence’s Caitlin
Toner, Shore Regional’s
Andrea
Adams
and
Westwood’s Dana Bianchi.
“There was only 45 minutes between the mile and
the 800, so my legs were still
recovering. I was just tired,”
said Feerst, of her performance in the 800.
Point Beach’s Brianna Feerst ran indoor track for the first time this winter. Feerst earned an NJSIAA
Group I championship in the 1,600 meters on Saturday in Toms River.

Beach’s Kelly, Gross both win District 23 titles
By Greg Domorski
This Saturday at Brick
Memorial High School, Dylan
Kelly and Andrew Gross took
it to the mats and earned Point
Beach’s first District 23 championship titles since 2006.
In 2006, Matt Rega won the
119-pound title.
Kelly won a 3-2 decision
over Brick Memorial’s Anthony
Miller for the 171-pound district title, and Gross won a 2-1
decision over Point Boro’s
Dane Bongiovi for the heavyweight title.
Kelly was confident entering
the finals and taking on Miller.
“I wasn’t worried about losing,” said Kelly. “I knew if I
wrestled smart it would be no
problem. My best asset in
wrestling is my defense on my
feet. If I am winning by a point
with under two minutes left, I
feel comfortable. If I am not
trying to score, nobody is ever
going to score on me.”
In the second period, Kelly
took the 3-0 lead by a takedown and an escape, and never
gave up the lead. Kelly later
said he could have scored more
points, but it was not worth the
risk.
To reach the finals, Kelly
pinned Brick Township’s Dan
Watson
in
1:48
and
The Beach’s Taylor Fioretti takes down Manasquan’s Conner Schobel on Saturday, which
led to an eventual pin 1:48 into the match.

in 1:30.
“It was not really a goal for
me but a dream my freshman
year [to win districts],” said
Kelly. “I saw some of the great
guys on the board and never
thought I could level up to all
that.”
Gross, in the opening round,
pinned Shore Regional’s Mike
PRAYER
TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN
IMMEDIATE RECONSTRUCTION
Women facing breast cancer surgery are urged to contact
a plastic surgeon prior to surgery. Forging a coordinated effort
between plastic and breast surgeons helps ensure the wellbeing, and even the survival, of the patient. Participation of the
plastic surgeon from the start promotes a successful outcome
in recreating a normal appearance, which helps patients regain
a sense of self and self-confidence. Consultation between surgeons facilitates tissue removal by the breast surgeon that optimizes reconstruction possibilities. This leads mastectomy
patients who undergo simultaneous reconstruction to have
better long-term results than mastectomy patients who wait a
few years before undergoing reconstruction. Statistics from the
U.S. National Cancer Institute reveal a 26 percent reduction in
breast-cancer-specific mortality for patients with immediate
reconstruction.

Warriors knock Panthers out of Dowd Cup playoffs

Arena in Wall.

Manasquan also received pro-

two goals. James Margetis and
Kyle Wainwright added one
goal each.
Point Boro’s Colin Freer had
two

and
Steven
Kovaleski scored a third-period goal assisted by Carter
Klotz and Connor Bokop. The
Panthers had a respectable 26
shots on goal, but let up 43 to
the Warriors.
Although there was not any
visible snow blanketing the ice
at the Gold Coast Arena, the
snowball scoring effect was
apparent. Panthers head coach
Mike Ryan said this was a
game that did not go the
Panthers’ way from the start.
“We did not get the breaks.
We gave up goals right after
we got some momentum,” said
coach Ryan, after the game. “It
was a tough way to end the
season. I wish it was down to
the wire one way or the other,
but unfortunately that is the
way it goes sometimes.”
The loss was not the best
way to end the season, but it
should not reflect on the
Panthers’ successful season
end, which included the team’s

“They shed a four-game losing streak and fought their way
back into contention,” said
coach Ryan. “They had a real
tough game against St. Rose to
clinch a playoff spot. This was
not reflective of it, but a lot of
our tough games came right
down to the wire and some of
our wins were last-minute
wins.”
The loss to Manasquan
drops the Panthers’ final
record to 8 wins, 11 losses and
one tie. With under a .500
record, the Panthers will not
be eligible for the state playoffs, officially ending their season.
“Record-wise does not say
how good this team was even
though this is not a terrible
record. This is a team that
fought through a lot of adversity and Manasquan had our
number this year,” said coach
Ryan.
The Panthers will look to
replace their seniors, which
includes captain Gage Klotz
along with defensemen Jay
Myers, Pat Manfredi, Pat
Lewis and forwards Tom
Santos and Greg Bonte.

of our defense but we have

going to jump in and play a lot

have some offensive power and
can make some noise next season.”

Princeton passes Point Beach-Squan co-op swim team in rematch
By Sam Costantino
NORTH BRUNSWICK —
The Point Beach-Manasquan
girls swim team was very familiar with its opponent Friday
night, when the Warriors traveled to North Brunswick High
School for the NJSIAA Central
B final.
POINT BEACH
T h e
CO-OP SWIMMING team would
be facing
NOTEBOOK
off against
Princeton, the same opponent
who beat them, 90-80, for the
state sectional title last season.
“We wanted to swim the
same in this meet as we would
when we swim against any
other team,” said Point Beach
swimmer Kat Kazaba. “We
always have the mentality to go
out and swim hard.”
Despite carrying an undefeated record, a C Central
Division title and many premier
Shore Conference swimmers,
Manasquan was unable to top a
strong Princeton team, as the
Little Tigers swam away with
the sectional title and a 106-64
victory.
“In a meet like this it wasn’t a
matter of lack of preparation or
being
intimidated,”
said
Manasquan head coach Craig
Murin. “I planned out the race
with the thought that we could
win.
“I was hoping to find a way to
do it by getting a couple of victories that we didn’t get,” Murin
continued. “We got touched out
a couple of times and there were
a lot of close races. They
[Princeton] swam way faster
than I even anticipated.”
The Little Tigers showed off
their speed from the opening
race, taking the 200 medley
relay with a time of 1:56.08.
Manasquan earned second
place in the event, as Caroline
Petrone, Shea Heavey, Hannah
Briant and Erin Perna followed
less than a second behind at
1:57.03.
Princeton’s Gaby Shypula,
Emma Zuckerman, Nicole
Kratzer and June Zhang would
earn third place [2:05.78] for
the final two points and a 10-4
lead over Manasquan after one
event.
In the next event — the 200
freestyle — Briant earned a
High School
Indoor Track 2011
first-place finish [2:02.18], with
teammate Elisabeth Finkenauer
taking fourth place [2:12.13], to
give the Warriors eight points
in the race.
The Little Tigers countered
with eight points of their own,
however, to maintain a six-point
lead [18-12] by taking second
[2:03.88], third [2:08.62] and
fifth place [2:14.17].
Princeton extended its lead to
28-18, by swimming to first
[2:18.10], third [2:26.22] and
fifth place [2:31.09] in the 200
individual medley.
Perna and Little Tigers’
swimmer Meryl Stone followed
the 200 individual medley with
a great battle in the 50 freestyle,
as the two swam to a first-place
tie [26.41] to highlight an
eight-point split by the two
teams in the race.
Heading into the break,
Princeton held a 32-26 advantage over the Warriors.
A first place finish by
Princeton’s Serena Deardorff
[58.80] lead the Little Tigers to
an 11-5 win in the 100 butterfly, extending the team’s overall
lead over Manasquan to 47-31.
The teams would earn an
eight-point split in the next
event — the 100 freestyle —
with Manasquan swimmers
Kazaba [58.32] and Katie
McElduff [59.57] taking second and third place, respectively.
Although the Manasquan
relay
team
of
Briant,
Finkenauer, Kazaba and Caitlin
Burkhard earned first place in
the
200
freestyle
relay
[1:47.89], the Little Tigers used
the second half of the meet to
pull away from the Warriors.
A 12-4 victory in the 500
freestyle, an 11-5 victory in the
100 backstroke, a 12-4 victory
in the 100 breaststroke and a
10-4 victory in the 400 freestyle
relay gave Princeton its second
consecutive
win
over
Manasquan in the sectional
final.
For Coach Murin, it was
important to stress to his team
the importance of remembering
all their achievements in 20102011.
“When the meet was done, I
told the girls that this did not
take away from another tremendous season,” he said. “To only
lose one meet to a team like this
is something you cannot do too
much about.
“They had a great season
again,” Murin continued. “I am
excited for them and this did
not diminish what they accomplished this year.”
With a young group of tal-
ented swimmers returning to
the pool next year for
Manasquan, the Warriors are
already excited about what lies
ahead for the squad.
“We had a great season,” said
Kazaba. “We want to be a powerhouse next year. We have a lot
of great new swimmers and we
are going to work hard to get
back here next season.”

Panthers annihilate Holmdel Hornets, 80-39, at home
By Greg Domorski
Many locals considered the
Holmdel girls basketball team
to be a sleeper team at the number 12 seed in the Shore
Conference tournament.
However, the Point Boro
Panthers hit the snooze button
on Holmdel’s alarm clock to
demolish the Hornets, 80-39, at
School Thursday evening.
In

with Kelly Hughes finishing
with 24 points, Kelsey Haycook
with 18, Lauren Hughes with
16 and Kerry Malleck finishing
with 13. Jess Macchi finished
with just four points, but filled
out the statistics sheet with six
rebounds, five steals and three
assists.
Panthers head coach David
Drew was pleased to see production throughout the starting
five with scoring threats from
every angle on the court.
“We almost had five girls in
double figures and that is amazing,” said coach Drew. “That
proves we have weapons one
through five with a couple girls
off the bench. It was a total team
effort tonight and I am very
proud of the girls.”
In the first quarter, Point
Boro had complete control. The
Panthers pressed the Hornets on
the inbound and the Hornets
were unable to adapt. Holmdel
was unable to get past half court
and constantly turned the ball
over. Haycook led the Panthers’
press with seven steals throughout the game, and the Panthers
pulled ahead, 14-0, early on.
Ally
Mnich
plugged
Holmdel’s scoring drought
when she hit one of two foul
shots with 5:09 left in the first
to make the game 14-1.
After, the Panthers scored 15
straight points for the 29-1 lead,
until Mnich was fouled attacking the basket with 17 seconds
before the end of the first.
Mnich hit both foul shots to
make the game 29-3.
Coach Drew was surprised
the Panthers gained such a significant lead against the
Holmdel Hornets — a team
that went down to the wire with
one of the Shore Conference top
teams, St. John Vianney, earlier
in the season, falling just short
at 65-56.
“I was very surprised that we
had that advantage in the first
quarter. We did not take them
lightly at all,” said coach Drew.
“[Holmdel] did not have one
bad loss on their schedule. This
was a team that we knew could
play basketball.”
In the second quarter, it
looked like another team came
off the bench as the Hornets rallied together, breaking through
Point Boro’s pressure defense.

“If we can beat RBC, that will
be more of a statement game.
RBC is a very good team and it
will be a tough game for us,”
said Drew. “We are going to do

change our game plan but may

Nelson scored four points,
Mnich scored four, Tara Inman
had three and Priscilla Wong
had a bucket to start the comeback. Holmdel cut the lead to
30-16, and Point Boro was in a
state of shock when coach Drew
called timeout with 2:51 left in
the second quarter to halt
Holmdel’s
second-quarter
surge.
Inman and Mnich were the
two most significant threats to
the Panthers, averaging 14.4 and
11.2 points per game, respectively, this season. Coach Drew
wanted to concentrate on the
two on defense, and force the
rest of the Hornets to make
shots.
“We were looking to take
them away from the get go. We
wanted anyone else to beat us
but them,” said coach Drew.
When the two teams resumed
play, neither was able to make a
run and the score stood at 35-18
at the end of the half. Point
Boro looked disappointed after
giving up the substantial lead,
but regrouped in the locker
room.
“We told them [at halftime]
that this is Holmdel. This is a
team with a very good record
and is not going to quit,” said
coach Drew. “We had to stick to
the game plan that obviously
worked the first half. If we had
to make an adjustment in the
second we would have, but we
just stuck to the game plan.”
The two teams exchanged
baskets throughout the start of
the third, but the Panthers were
able to put away the tiring
Hornets. The Panthers ended
on a 24-3 run, finishing the
third with a 63-28 Panther lead.

in

everyone knew was not going to

After Neptune scored six
straight fast break points, the
Scarlet Fliers continued to roll
over the Panthers for an overall
64-39 performance, eliminating
Point Boro

“We played the best team we
are going to face all year,” said
Panther head coach David
Drew. “Nobody likes to lose and
we did not come here for a
moral victory, but I thought we
did OK.”
Syessence Davis led Neptune
with 26 points followed by
Chyna Golden with 12. Point
Boro’s top scorer was sophomore
guard Kelly Hughes, who finished up with 14 points followed
by senior guard Kelsey Haycook
scoring 12.
The Panthers scored their
first basket with 6:18 left in the
first quarter after Haycook
attacked the right side of the
hoop, scooping the ball off the
glass to make the game 6-2.
Neptune, known for its full
court pressure defense throughout the game, was counteracted
by the Panther ball handlers in
Kelly and Lauren Hughes,
Haycook and Jessica Macchi.
As play progressed in the
first, the Panthers kept within
striking distance of the Scarlet
Fliers when Haycook hit two
foul shots to make the game 1612.
Neptune received a much
needed break when Morgan
Thompson banked a 3-pointer
off the glass. After the offensive
spark, Neptune’s Davis stepped
up defensively, stealing the ball
and scoring on the breakaway
layup for the 21-12 Neptune
lead with under 20 seconds
remaining in the first.
Kelly Hughes ended the
quarter by scoring two foul shots
from the line to cut Neptune’s
lead to 21-14.
The second quarter, the
Panthers started sluggish similar
to the first when Neptune broke
out on an 8-2 run. Thompson
opened the quarter rocketing a
3-pointer behind the arc and
Davis added five more points.
The Panthers continued to
fight, but could not recover from
Neptune’s scoring surge holding
on with a 33-23 deficit at the
half.
The Panthers were able to
keep with the Scarlet Fliers with
the score at 50-37 at the end of
the third, before the game started to turn ugly in the fourth
The Panthers only scored two
points in the fourth, while
Neptune unloaded 14.
Coach Drew called timeout
after Neptune scored eight
straight points to make the
game 58-37.
The game was now officially
out of reach and Neptune ended
the game on a 6-2 run for the
64-39 final result.
Coach Drew said it was difficult to stop the Scarlet Fliers,
due to the variety of weapons
Neptune had available on the
court.
“Neptune is very deep,” said
Drew after the game. “It is not
just five girls deep, they go to
their bench too.”
The Panthers will play
Bridgeton in the first round of
the NJSIAA State Tournament
on Feb. 28. If the Panthers can
top Bridgeton, they will go on to
play the winner of the
Manasquan
and
Haddon
Heights matchup.
With the Panthers and the
Warriors sharing the C Central
division title, it is not a game
one will want to miss, with both
teams trying to establish their
superiority.
Coach Drew said playing a
tough team like Neptune will
help prepare the Panthers
against elite teams in the state
tournament.
“A game like this prepares you
for the [state tournament],” said
coach Drew. “Neptune is a great
team and is a two time [Shore
Conference
Tournament]
defending winner.”
Neptune will defend its twotime

Kelsey Haycook scored 16 of
her game-high 26 points in the
first half, followed by Kelly
Hughes with 12 to lead the
Panthers past the Caseys, 56-40.
Forward Samantha Gustella
scored 18 points. Haycook says
stopping Gustella was a challenge.
“We played big girls like this
before [ Jackson Memorial’s]
Christa Evans and [Rumson
Fair-Haven’s] Victoria Lesko,”
said Haycook about containing
a top player like Gustella.
Point Boro had the slim, 2114 lead in the second quarter,
but the Panthers went on a 113 run for the 32-17 lead at half.
The Panthers extended their
lead in the second half with a
10-4 run to make the game 4223 Panthers, and the Casey’s
had no answer.
Haycook stressed the importance of keeping the lead against
a tough team like the Red Bank
Catholic Caseys.
“We knew what we had to do
to work hard in this game and
not give up,” said Haycook.
“We were the underdog today
and it was a big win for us.”
Coach Drew was pleased to
see Haycook pour in buckets at
will against one of the top teams
in the Shore Conference.
“Haycook is a phenomenal
player. We are not the same
team without her.”

foul shots everyday in practice so
there was not going to be no difference — here or in practice.”
Coach Catania was clearly on
the same page as Reischel.
“I [was] confident he was
going to make it,” said coach
Catania. “He is the best player in
the shore and one of the best in
the state. You have to feel that
there is nobody else in the world
you would rather have at the line
than him.”
After sinking both foul shots,
on Colts Neck’s final possession
the ball was passed in to point
guard Brian Kenny, who was
forced to run up the left sideline
and shot a 3-point attempt at the
buzzer. Jordan Kaufman blocked
the shot attempt with time expir-

ing on the clock, and the Gulls
Nest rushed the court, celebrating the advancement to the quarterfinals of the Shore Conference
Tournament.
Kaufman stepped up his game
against Colts Neck on both
offense and defense. He spread
the floor, scoring four, 3-pointers
for a total of twelve points.
“That is the way we know
[Kaufman] is capable of playing,”
said Catania. “In the game
against St. Patrick’s [over the
summer] he had 15 points in two
quarters.”
Quinn Olsen also returned to
the Point Beach lineup, after
being ill in the Gulls’ previous
game against Montgomery. He
helped boost the Gulls to victory
against Colts Neck with three, 3pointers including a buzzer beat-
— BEACH —
From Page 27
The Beach had the 49-47
lead, but the double foul resulted in CBA getting four straight
foul shots and possession of the
ball.
CBA’s shooting guard, JP
Koury, made all four shots to
give CBA the 51-49 advantage.
On CBA’s next possession,
Colts center Matt McMullen
was fouled on his way to the
basket. McMullen made one of
two foul shots with 1:42 left in
the game for the 52-49 CBA
lead.
But Point Beach just would
not quit.
The Gulls’ senior small forward, Jarelle Reischel, hit a 3pointer with a hand in his face
to tie the game at 52.
After CBA missed a foul-line
jumper, Reischel hit two foul
shots on the Gulls’ next possession to give Point Beach the 5452 lead.
Koury hit a 3-pointer to put
CBA back up, 55-54, and on the
next possession, Reischel was
called for an offensive foul with
18.8 seconds remaining.
On the inbound play, Koury
“He made two
huge shots —maybe
the two biggest
shots in Point Beach
history.”
— Nick Catania
Point Beach boys
basketball coach, on
guard Kevin Donahue’s
game-winning foul shots
fouled Point Beach guard Kevin
Donahue, falling to the floor on
the inbound.
Donahue went to the charity
stripe, and his first foul shot was
nothing but net — tying the
game at 55.
CBA called timeout to try
and ice Donahue, but the strategy proved to be ineffective, as
Donahue nailed the second foul
shot for the 56-55 lead.
“He made two huge shots —
maybe the two biggest shots in
Point Beach history,” said
Catania, of Donahue stepping
up to the occasion. “He works
hard in practice and does the
dirty work for the team that is
sometimes not recognized.”
er to end the third, two feet
behind the arc to put the Gulls
ahead 38-37.
Catania said he was proud
with how the whole team
stepped up throughout the game.
Coach Catania adjusted his
game plan early, when the
Gulls were down 10-5 in the
first quarter, with Colts Neck
players hounding Reischel.
Point Beach scored three, 3pointers to propel a 9-2 run to
end the first quarter for a 14-12
lead.
Point Beach continued to
rally on the 3-point shot in the
first half. The first twenty
points consisted of six, 3-pointers and two foul shots by
Reischel.
Reischel did not score for the
remainder of the first half, but
the Gulls were ahead 25-24.
Catania said he made adjustments in the second half to help
get Reischel the ball. Reischel
scored 15 second-half points,
totaling to 17 overall.
“[Colt Neck’s] whole game
plan was to stop [Reischel]
from the very beginning,” said
coach Catania, about his top
player with limited production
in the first half. “You can’t force
[the ball] into him. He was
going to have two guys on him
the whole night. We know we
have other guys that can hit
shots. If teams do what they did
tonight, we can have other guys
that can step up and score.”
Reischel was pleased to credit the whole team effort in
coming up with the win.
“In the first half, if my team
Donahue said he kept his cool
on the free-throw line.
“I knew if I made those two
shots, we were going to win the
game,” said Donahue.
On CBA’s next possession,
the team rocketed multiple
rushed shots, but none fell
through the basket.
As time expired, the Garnet
Gulls coaching staff and players
ran to the center of the court to
celebrate.
“Nobody believes in the
unbelievable, but this year, we
showed that everything is possible, and there are no limits,” said
Reischel. “We [know] we can
win the Shore Conference
[Tournament].”
Point Beach had the largest
lead of the game in the third
quarter, when Point Beach
guard Michael Rotando hit a 3pointer 2 feet behind the arc for
the 33-23 lead.
It was not until the fourth
that CBA initiated their comeback, hitting three straight shots
to give CBA the 41-40 edge.
Afterward, Rotando was
fouled on a shot behind the arc
and hit all three free throws to
put the Gulls back on top, 4341.
Reischel led all scorers, fin-
ishing the game with 27 points,
including back-to-back 3pointers in the first.
Reischel was also a perfect
10-for-10 from the free throw
line.
“He set the tone tonight,”
said Catania. “The biggest thing
with [Reischel] is that if he hits
his shots from the perimeter, he
is unguardable — nobody in the
state can guard him.”
McMullen led CBA with 22
points, and Koury finished with
21.
McMullen spent a substantial
amount of time on the bench in
the first quarter after getting hit
in the mouth on a Reischel
drive.
The Gulls lost to RumsonFair
Haven, 52-47, on
Wednesday in the Shore
Conference Tournament semifinals [see related story].
If Point Pleasant Beach had
defeated the Bulldogs, the Gulls
would have had their first trip to
the
Shore
Conference
Tournament finals since 1963.

after a broken foot, was the most
popular student in Colts Neck
High School for a minute with
the clock ticking away under 30
seconds. He made the basket and
foul to put the Cougars ahead
50-49, before Reischel closed the
game converting both foul shots.
“We are playing really well
together to close out games,” said
Reischel, about the Gulls pulling
out the victory with under one
minute remaining. “We want to
keep continuing to work hard
and keep playing the way we
have been playing.”
Point Beach played Christian
Brothers Academy [CBA] on
Saturday [see related story],
defeating the Colts 56-55 at the
Robert J. Collins Arena in
Lincroft.
Prior to the game, Point Beach
knew it had a chance to upset the
number one team in the Shore
Conference tournament.
“CBA is the best of the best
and we want to take our shot at
them like any good team would.
It will be fun and we will see
what happens,” said Catania,
before the game against CBA.
“They know us so there is not
going to be many secrets.”
“We are definitely going to
prepare and have the right mindset, and hopefully put out a win,”
said Reischel, before playing
CBA. “I think it is possible. In
basketball any team can beat
another on any given night. It
does not matter if it’s the [Los
Angeles] Lakers. If you have
the right mindset and attitude
you are on the track [to pull
out a win].”
wasn’t [hitting shots] we would
have been down by 20,” said
Reischel, about the importance
of his teammates stepping up.
“I have to credit my teammates
and the coaching staff in really
coming prepared in this game.”
In the second half Colts
Neck was kept in the game by
Hunter Wysocki, who finished
with 22 points, including an
eye-opening step-back 3pointer in Reischel’s face, to cut
the lead to 45-44, Point Beach.
“The thing [that] was special
about him is that he can create
his own shots — his step back
and his one dribble, pull hard to
stop. He was hitting unbelievably tough shots. I was
extremely impressed with
[Wysocki],” said coach Catania.
“He was a great player,” said
Reischel,
about
guarding
Wysocki. “He was red hot. I had
my hand in his face and tried to
contest all of his shots, but he
made them.”
Point Beach held on to the
lead in the fourth on its way to
victory, with a 49-47 lead with
under one minute remaining on
the clock. While Point Beach
was trying to play a game of keep
away from the Cougars,
Kaufman tried to split between
two defenders and fell to the
floor.
In a call that could have resulted in either team’s favor,
Kaufman was called for the traveling violation with 41 seconds
remaining, turning the ball over
to Colts Neck.

FISHING TIPS
Greg over at Brielle Bait and
Tackle reported: “Cod and ling
are on the menu this week.
“The local party boats are fishing from 10 to 30 miles offshore,
and fishing is pretty darn good.
Average catches of cod are from
six to 15 fish per guy, with about
half being keepers. Some of the
pool-winning cod are 20- to 30pounders. Most of the action is
on clams. Ling fishing is pretty
good, too.
“Paul Sperco, of Dayton,
fished on one of the local head
boats, and he caught 10 nice ling
and a keeper cod.
“On the freshwater scene,
perch and pickerel are biting in
the local freshwater ponds. Many
ponds have some open water
where the ice has melted.
“Quinn Figueroa, of Point
Pleasant, and Patrick Murphy, of
Toms River, fished a few ponds in
Toms River, and they caught several nice pickerel on live killies.”
Capt. Howard Bogan of the
Big Jamaica out of Brielle reported: “Northeast wreck special trips
sail at 11 p.m. We will be sailing
to the northeast wrecks 60 to 100
miles from Brielle for cod and
pollock, leaving at 11 p.m. We
will return at approximately 6
p.m. Sunday. The fare is $155.
“Dates for this will be 11 p.m.
today, Feb. 25, and tomorrow,
Feb. 26, as well as March 4, 11
and 18.
“We also offer 20- to 40-mile
cod wreck specials sailing at 4
a.m. today, Feb. 25, as well as
March 4, 11, 18 and 25. We will
be fishing the 20- to 40-mile
wrecks from Brielle for cod, leaving at 4 a.m. We will return at
approximately 5 p.m. The fare is
$90. Call 732-528-5014 for further information.”

A deluxe hot and cold buffet
dinner will be served, followed by
the ever-popular Fishing Tackle
Bonanza Auction, where thousands of dollars’ worth of fishing
tackle — including rods, reels,
line and lures donated by major

Tip of the week: If you are
going to be jigging for tuna this
upcoming season, look to buy colored, metered braid, such as the
Sufix Metered Performance Braid
or Daiwa Boat Braid for your
reels.
These lines are made with five
colors that change every 25 or 30
feet. Once you read on your fishfinder what depth the tuna are
holding at, you can then just tell
someone to drop down two,
three, or four colors to hit the
mark.

Beach Wrestling Remembers A Great Gull
Photo Courtesy of DEANNA FINNERTY
Point Beach wrestling alumnus Justin Barowski [center] was honored on Jan. 13 before
the Garnet Gulls’ match against Holmdel, which the Gulls won, 53-24. As a Gull, Barowski
was a district champion in 2003, 2004 and 2005, and a regional champion in 2005. Later, at
Delaware Valley College in Pennsylvania, he composed a 108-35 record and earned a
Midwest Region title. At Point Pleasant Beach High School last month, Barowski’s singlet
was framed and will be displayed in the high school’s wrestling room. Barowski was accompanied at last month’s ceremony by his mother Debbie [from left], his brother Jeff, his father
John, and Point Beach wrestling coaches Brian Spader, Bruce Fioretti and Mike Serchio.

After Reischel hit one of two
free throws to start the third,
Rumson scored 14 straight
points for the 32-22 lead.
Donahue, who scored the
winning point for Point Beach
against CBA, hit a muchneeded 3-pointer with 39 seconds left, and the Gulls got
back into a bit of a flow.
Reischel hit two foul shots
to close the third quarter with
the score standing at 32-27 in
Rumson’s favor.
The Gulls capped off an 110 run at the start of the fourth
quarter and finally re-took the
lead when Reischel had an
offensive rebound, putting the
ball back in the net to put
Point Beach up 33-32 with
4:36 left in the game.
As play progressed, the
Bulldogs’ J.J. Conklin hit a 3pointer dagger to put Rumson
up, 38-37, but he was
answered by Reischel from the
foul line, who hit two shots for
the 39-38 Beach lead.

Donnelly hit a mid-range
jumper between two Beach
defenders for the 40-39 lead,
prompting Point Beach to call
timeout.
On the Gulls’ next possession, Calzonetti was called for
traveling as he attacked the
basket, turning the ball back
over to the Bulldogs.
Rumson’s Kevin Alter hit a
heartbreaking 3-pointer, and
Beach called timeout with the
score at 43-39 with 55.1 seconds remaining.
Reischel attacked the basket
and was fouled, hitting his two
free throws to inch closer to
Rumson, 43-41.
The Gulls fouled Alter to
stop the clock, and he sank
two from the line.
On the Gulls’ next possession, Reischel pump-faked
and a Rumson defender
jumped off the floor. Reischel
took the shot into the defender, but no foul was called.
A Rumson player stripped
the ball away from Reischel
and jetted out on the breakaway.
Donahue grabbed Alter on
the layup and was called for an
intentional foul, resulting in
two free throws and possession.
Alter hit both free throws,
and Jack Curran hit two more
on Rumson’s next possession
to take a 49-41 lead and put
the game out of reach for the
Gulls.
Rumson will go on to play
Raritan
in
the
Shore
Conference Tournament finals
at Monmouth University’s
Multipurpose Activity Center
on Friday, while Point Beach
will look to add another game
to its schedule before the state
tournament begins next week.
Point Beach head coach Nick
Catania said the Garnet Gulls did
not play their best, as a unit, against
the Bulldogs.
“What got us here is that we
play together, and we kind of got
away from that tonight,” Catania
said. “We didn’t share the ball
enough. Rumson did a good job of
taking us out of that.”
The coach went on to say the
Gulls should be proud of how far
they made it in the Shore
Conference Tournament this year,
with no Point Beach team reaching the semifinal since 1968.
“It is a big step for our program,” said Catania. “[This loss] is
a learning experience. We still have
the state tournament, and that is
our goal. We are trying to go places
we haven’t gone before.”
