Tax Court seeking the right to collect real estate taxes on those portions of the PNC Bank Arts Center — formerly the Garden State Arts Center — complex which Holmdel contends are not tax exempt. N.J. Highway Authority Spokesman Dennis Ingoglia said the authority has received a copy of the suit, but “it is the authority’s policy not to comment Jennifer Casaletto, 9, of Keyport looks a bit surprised as magician Doug Keller shows off a magic trick at a carnival on pending legal matters.” held in Fireman’s Park in Keyport last Sunday.

Most experts say that people become infected with the bacteria after a deer tick — about the size of a pinhead — becomes attached to the skin for about 24 hours. While the deer tick can be found anywhere, including back yards and parks, the ticks prefer wooded or tall grass environments, particularly where deer or white-footed mice are common. And, according to Monmouth County Health Officer Lester Jargowsky, this is the time of year to be most alert for the ticks. “It’s a time to take strict, extreme precautions,” Jargowsky said, “to be very vigilant and really watch how you’re dressed — wear light-colored clothing — wear repellents, and avoid those edges and underbrush.” In Monmouth County, the greatest populations of ticks can be found in the area around Naval Weapons Station Earle, Colts Neck, with Turkey Swamp Park, Freehold Township, and Allaire State Park, Wall, following close behind, according to Jargowsky. The Howell Township corridor along the Manasquan River is also a prime spot for ticks, he added. Ticks are comparatively fewer in Middlesex County, due to the dense development that has taken place there. In 1996, Monmouth County reported 110 new cases of Lyme disease, while Middlesex County reported 71. “Middlesex, County is much more densely populated than Monmouth County,” ac­ cording to Bernard Mihalko, of the Middlesex County Health Department. “We’re highly developed and highly industrial. Monmouth is still largely wooded and has more open space.” Both Monmouth and Middlesex counties’ diagnoses of Lyme disease, however, are relatively low when compared to Hunterdon County’s, whose population is said to have 8 INDEPENDENT, JUNE 4, 1997

The Lost World The summer movie season started with a big bang when Tloe Lost World, the sequel to the 1993 blockbuster Jurassic Park, earned more than $90 million in its first weekend. Parents will want to watch this one with their young children since The Lost World contains more violence than the original. Steven Spielberg’s addition of new dinosaurs will also scare the pants off most kids — and some adults, too. The movie stars Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Julianne Moore, Vince Vaughn and Arliss Howard. If audiences continue seeing The Lost World at its cur­ rent pace, then most children will have probably seen this one by the time school lets out at the end of June. Batman & Robin Batman is finally teamed up with his ol’ pal Robin in the latest Batman sequel. Batman & Robin sports an all-star cast with George Clooney assuming the role of the most popular super hero resident of Gotham and Alicia Silverstone playing Batgirl. Arnold Schwarzenegger, in a chilly portrayal of Mr. Freeze, earned an astonishing $25 million for his part in the sequel. Batm an & Robin opens June 20, and parents should remember that Batman LITTLE FURRY FRIEND — Rene Russo, in the role o f Gertrude Lintz, takes in Buddy, a chimpanzee, as an infant. films often contain plenty of violence. The movie, B u d d y , is the first film from Jim Henson Pictures. However, children love Batman so (Photo courtesy Columbia Pictures)

ne of the nation’s premier publishing companies continues to delight young­ sters with new book series as well as additions to already popular collections. This summer, girls will want to visit The Jewel Kingdom, a magical place where gnomes, nymphs, dragons and unicorns roam. This new paperback series from Jahnna N. Malcolm and Neal McPheeters follows the adventures of four young sisters who rule the kingdom. Each sister wears a jewel with special powers. You must see the book cover to find your own special treat before you even start turning the pages! Billed as one of America’s hottest book series for kids, A nim o rp h s is about to expand to the edition . In the A n d a lite ’s Gift, for ages 9-13 (avail­ able this month), the Animorphs think they’re getting some time off from their superhero activities, only to find them­ selves in the thick of things all over again. Rachel loses her memory on the way to camp, and a pool party turns into a nightmare in this exciting paperback. Scholastic has also pub­ lished a series of books based on a summer 1996 PBS television series on w ild life . K r a tt’s C reatures features brothers Martin Kratt and Chris Kratt, and in­ cludes titles like In Search of the Real Tasmanian Devils (ages 5-8); O ff to Elephant School (ages 5-8) and O u r Favorite Creatures (ages 8-12). The multi­ format books are a fun way to introduce children to the wonders of the animal k in gd o m . For the more strong-of-stomach, try one o f the Camp Run-A-Muck books by Todd Strasser. You’ll never think of summer camp the same after reading any of the books in this brand new three-book series just hitting bookstores.
