BY MARY DEMPSEY Staff W riter HAZLET — Members of area teachers’ unions showed up in force at last week’s Board of Education meeting to show sup­ port for the Hazlet Township Education Association (HTEA). Meanwhile, a state-appointed fact-finder has agreed to move’ up a mediation date from April 30 to March 3. In addition to HTEA members, repre­ sentatives from the Middletown and Freehold education unions and the New Jersey Education Association (NJEA) urged the board to omit lawyers and their fees from the process and negotiate face to face with the HTEA. District teachers also urged the board to Middletown South’s Nancy settle on a contract agreement.

A public hearing on the budget is scheduled for March 17 at 7:30 p.m. at the Matawan Municipal Community Center, 201 Broad St. The $7.2 million budget actually low­ ers the municipal tax rate slightly to 79.6 cents per $100 of assessed valuation, down from 79.9 cents last year. Mayor Robert Clifton has vowed to lobby the state for discretionary state aid that could lower the rate even further. The borough received $200,000 in discre­ tionary state aid last year, reducing a 22­ cent tax hike to 17 cents. But the 1998 spending plan was not supported by Democratic council mem­ bers Patrick Falcon, Laurie Thomas- Zalepka and Jim Shea, and Clifton was forced to cast his tie-breaking vote in favor of its introduction. Republican council members Bea Duffy, Joseph Penniplede and Joseph Wallace all voted to introduce the budget. The proposal totals $7,238,702, down from $7,385,355 last year. It shows an­ ticipated revenues of $3,973,688, down from $4,113,641 last year, leaving a bal­ ance of $3,265,014 to be raised through taxation, down slightly from $3,271,715 last year.

Innovative program s help the m entally ill cope

By E ile e n K o u tn ikBy ik Special Sections E ditor

O ften times there’s a stigma attached to people suffering . ‘ from mental illness. However, education and com m unity awareness can help m entally ill patients become functioning members of society. To help achieve those goals, Com m unity Care Behavioral Health is providing clients from Monmouth, Ocean, M iddlesex and M ercer counties w ith basic skills, health awareness and an array o f other services. The patients are referred by boarding homes and residential health care facilities. Com m unity Care Behavioral Health is a private, M edicaid-funded-partial care program . The program was initiat­ ed in August 1995 as a response to the state’s plans to shut dow n institutions like M arlboro Psychiatric Hospital, according to Richard Fowler, program d ir e c t o r . The hospital is scheduled to close its doors in June. Men and women, many of whom are schizophrenic, spend six hours a day, five days a week at the facility housed in the Holiday Plaza on Route 9 in Freehold. Schizophrenia is “any group of psy­ chotic disorders usually characterized by withdrawal from reality, illogical patterns of thinking delusions and hal­ lucinations, and accom panied in vary­

Staff Writer MIDDLETOWN — Area girls basket­ ball players are getting their introduction to the game early in life. This trend has led to a large growth for the St. Mary’s Athletic Association pro­ gram in Middletown for third- through seventh-grade girls. Enrollment in the program this season has grown from 40 to 80 girls, including 35 third-graders. The program involves clinics, scrim­ mages and league games, with the empha­ sis being placed on clinics and scrim­ mages for the younger girls. “We’re teaching the third-graders the basics of basketball in 90-minute chunks,” the program’s co-director, Mitch Gotesky of Middletown, said. Gotesky runs the program along with league director John Petrienti. This year’s special events included a clinic at Monmouth University, given by women’s coach Sue DeKalb and her play­ ers, and a trip to a William Paterson Col­ CLEARING THE BAR — Middletown High School South’s Nancy Moore goes over the bar at last week’s Shore Conference Championship meet.
