Continued on page 6 500 Gather for "High Hopes for Anna" Nearly 500 people participated in the kite festival, “High Hopes for Anna”, this past weekend at Ocean Grove beach. The kite festival’s goal was to raise funds and awareness for a disease called Spinal Muscular Atrophy, or SMA, the number one genetic killer of children under age 2. SMA affects the voluntary muscles used in crawling, walking, breathing, and head and neck control. The weekend festival raised nearly $20,000, and Monmouth County Assistant Prosecutor Susan Schroeder, the event’s chairperson, says that she expects a matching grant may be made from a private citizen in the near future. “I can’t believe how gracious the people and particularly Ocean Grove have been in helping make this event a reality,” said Schroeder. The festival is the namesake of Anna Landre, who was diagnosed with the degenerative neuromuscular disease at a little over the age of one. At two, she is in a wheelchair, but with Type II Intermediate SMA, has been fortunate in that she does not have the same respiratory or swallowing problems that many children with the disease develop. “I know for Anna and her mother, Laura, this has been about raising awareness - this disease affects a lot of children and their families,” said Schroeder, “We were hoping first to raise money, but also to raise awareness.” The idea for the Kite Festival was borne out of the idea that kite-flying is a happy and carefree activity that can be enjoyed by children of all ages. Schroeder says she hopes that such events can facilitate further advances that may someday reverse the impact of this terrible disease. CM To make a donation or for more information, contact Anna’s mother, Laura Landre, of FSMA LU (Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy), a nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting the disease, at O < 10 Crater Lake Road, Howell, New Jersey 07731.

Booming summer business at the shore may be seeing a change in the tides this year as far as summer rentals are concerned, according to area realtors. A slowing economy may keep many close to home at vacation time this year, as many in the area note that rentals that would have been snatched up in January still stand empty and unrented. Although others further south say they have experienced no changes in rental rates or the demand for rentals, those in real estate in the immediate area say they are feeling the backlash of the economy, as some families and couples plan shorter vacations, or haven’t made plans to vacation at all. The shore’s summer rental racket hangs in the balance as realtors, landlords and area business owners wait to see whether vacationers will be coming to the shore late this year...or not coming at all. Although Ocean Grove realtor James Pentz says he has faith that renters will just be arriving late this season, he notes that “this year we have a large supply and very little demand.” “Last year the reason rentals could go for so much is because the stock market was really strong, we were doing rentals in January, February and March,” says Pentz, “A rental might have been somewhere in the price range of $7,000 to $17,000, for the season, from Memorial Day to Labor Day.” “This year, we really haven’t done that many rentals,” says Pentz, “But people’s asking prices still seem to be as much if not more, so that’s having a bearing as well.” Pentz’s advice to landlords? “Adjust your prices if you want your place to sell.” “We’ve had some things that are just priced too high,” says Pentz, “It’s more than what the market can bear, you’re not getting Spring Lake prices in Ocean Grove. But, some­ times people have their own prices in mind.” Even Spring Lake seems to be feeling the pull of the economy, however, as Nancy Kaloostian, First Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce, and owner of Ocean House Bed and Breakfast, notes. Although Kaloostian says that many reservations for weekend stays for the summer have already been filled, she notes that week-long, mid-week and 2-week visits are more rare than they’ve been in past years. Kaloostian attributes these changes to a number of factors. “We usually see older people coming in during the week and mid-week, because we offer special mid-week Photos by Gregory L. Miller discounts, but people aren’t taking advantage of them like they usually would,” says Kaloostian, “I think between gas prices going up, the economy, and a colder spring sea- Photographer, Gregory L, Miller, along with several lo­ ...

There is MUCH more to consider than just redevelopment! The town officials work, no stress, no problems!!! However, it doesn’t take them long to realize n e ^ to consider the following reasons why restoration of these sites IS the answer to Asbury’s that being a mother is the hardest occupation one can have.

DearEditor, On April 18th, before the (Dcean County Freeholder Board, I testified in opposition to the use ------— of tax dollars for the purchase of land by the Ocean County Natural Lands Trust Fund. For numerous Freeholder meetings, I have stated that taxation and bonding is not the way " V ; I to save open space and farmland in the most densely populated state in the country. Eluddation of land-use rights and zoning is the only way to keep New Jersey from becoming Jersey City. m Time is running out, and munidpalities such as Manalapan and Howell are coming to the realization that if they do not zone, they are going to lose the ballgame to the greed of large landowners, builders, and developers. Freeholder Bartlett always reminds me that the people voted for the open space tax. And I remind him that only 22 percent of all the state’s registered voters passed Governor Whitman’s tax proposal to save land, and that the people are never given the option of voting for eluddation of land-use rights and zoning. Arxl when the issue of exdusive zoning and affordable housing comes up, I let people know that cooperative purchase of housing by family and friends on one acre of a six-aae t r ^ with the option of partial rental is the most rational approach. The Mt. Laurel approach is an absurd'rty and a failure. The unrealistic open space tax can be nullified quickly by allowing voters to vote on the I following question: I am very lucky.

As co- chairman of the fishing committee with Jim Leather, he presented plaques to the follow­ ing top anglers on the pier last season: Art Reed in the Striped Bass category; Walt Kuroluk for Bluefish; Dave Meester, 1st place, and Walt Koruluk, 2nd, in Weakfish, and Terry Baker, 1st, and Art Gannon, 2nd, in Fluke. Club president Jim Buchanan called for volunteers to assist in pricing merchandise and setting up the club’s table in the June 2nd Chamber of Commerce flea market, and for the club’s participation in the town’s Fourth of July parade. The members voted to have the annual pier picnic the Saturday before the 4th, and Fran Paladino, who is spearheading arrangements, called for volunteers to assist. Treasurer Herb Herbst said that the club’s mortgage now totals $83,787 and in­ cludes the club’s share of $12,500 for pier extension following the federal sand replen­ ishment program along the coast.

TJ > At typical training sessions, (often held at locations including residences and busi­ o m nesses slated for demolition), exits, entryways, rooms, and other places officers can conduct certain aspects of the training are usually exhausted in a short period of time. At the Warren, however, the officers were afforded the opportunity to sharpen their skills for hours on the building’s innumerable windows and rooms. ‘They’ll be tearing the whole thing down shortly anyway,” said Sergeant Ihnken, “so we’re free to use the training resources the building offers before it goes down.” Although negotiation is always the first means of attempting to apprehend a subject, Ihnken says that “if all else fails we eventually have to make an entry.” Incidents such as the 1998 Donald Bunting incident in Bradley Beach, where Bunting was wanted for bank robbery and barricaded himself for over 24 hours in his home from police, are exactly what the Special Response Team prepares for. Shouts could be heard from the inside of the hotel, as officers used breaching de­ vices to enter doorways throughout the hotel’s 165 rooms, with 9mm MP5 and CAR 15 .223 caliber automatic and semi-automatic weapons raised and at the ready. Although live ammunition is often used for such exercises, no live ammunition was used for this drill. Officers did, however, utilize distraction devices, which create loud noises to divert the attention of perpetrators. Passersby may have also spotted officers creeping along the hotel’s balconies, crouched and ready to pounce, as other officers slipped around the back of the hotel, in what Sergeant Ihnken said was a diversion technique. Officers involved in the Special Response Team have undergone basic SWAT (Spe­ cial Weapons and Tactics) training with the lACP (International Association of Chiefs of Police) in order to be a part of the team. Team officers involved in the May 2nd drill were each part of an extensive selection process before being chosen as members. As part- Wall Township's Special Response time employees of the team, they continue to serve as officers of the Wall Township Police Department. The Wall Township team has been in existence for about 18 years.

first time and the second time they do it, it won't mean anything,” said Schoenewolf, “This ordinance doesn’t mean that the judge will necessarily take away the license automati­ cally. It could just give the judge the opportunity to say, if you come back here again, I’m going to take your license.” Venables also questioned whether fines of $250 and $350 were too much for minors to have to pay, and recommended amending the amount. Schoenewolf disagreed that the amount was too high, stating, “Kids spend $50 on CD’s on the weekend.” “If my daughters got a ticket like this, I would expect them to pay me back,” responded Venables, “It would take my kids a year to pay back an amount like that.” The Council agreed to amend the language of the ordinance to read that a fine of $150 could be instituted for the first offenses, and up to $350 for subsequent offenses. In addition, the language of the ordinance was changed to read that licenses could be suspended for up to six months, instead of reading that the license would immediately be suspended for six months. Councilman Joseph Erbe, the only dissenting vote against the ban, also expressed concern about how officers would discern between underage persons at a party who had been drinking and those who had not. “When you go on a private property, it usually becomes a group arrest,” said Erbe, “How do you make these calls as to who’s drinking, who’s not, who's a designated driver?” West Grove Square Applies for Permits Chief Dawson said that those underage persons involved would be interviewed thor­ West Grove Square Shopping Center to be located on Highway 71 and Highway 33 oughly before any decisions were made. “It’s a long, tedious process,” said Dawson, “If someone’s been charged and we find opposite the Ocean Grove section of Neptune Township filed applications for construction out they were not drinking, we’ve never had a problem with correcting that error.” permits with the Township of Neptune Construction Department earlier this week.

Set at the Jersey shore in the seaside town of Oceanside Heights (based upon Ocean Grove), Beth gives us the familiar setting of Victorian homes and familiar restaurants and locals, with an unexpected and puzzling plot. This new release even conjures up a little witchcraft and devil worshipping. Sherman has been interested in witchcraft since she was young. She learned Tarot when she frequented a shop in Green­ wich Village that was actually mn buy witches. "I think there are a lot of interesting spells, and witches - it is about women who have control, women having power. In my new book, witchcraft comes into play when the teenage girls do not feel they have a lot of control in their own lives,” commented Sherman. If you search on the web tor ^A/itches’, you will find more than 27,000 selections to choose from. It is no wonder the teenagers of Oceanside Heights find witchcraft and Devil worshipping so intriguing and deadly!

This two-acre cemetery, containing 60 graves, has suffered overgrown neglect for many years, Much of that woodland occupied a valley between West Bangs Avenue and Asbury Avenue but under the leadership of Squadron 346 Commander Gary Crawford the clean up project is now (Route 66).

Kodak Neptune City* (732) 776-8030 "My Answer" column is brought to you by donations made to ______St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, Ocean Grove.______What in the world is a “Three Dog Night”? A. an old phrase used by Eskimos B. a bad night looking for love at the local bars C. a 70’s band that is still alive and performing this summer in Ocean Grove D. a band I vaguely remember seeing in 1971, but due to uncontrolled circumstances (or was it controlled substances?) I can’t be absolutely sure. E. All of the above.

If you answered “all of the above” you passed this quiz, if you didn’t, who cares, the bottom line is that there will be a command performance by this band at the Great Audito­ rium. These elder statesmen had a series of hits in the late 60’s and early 70’s which included, their most famous song... “Joy to the World.” This is not to be mistaken with that wonderful Christmas hymn as is evidenced by the following verse from this timeless piece of music: “Jeremiah was a bullfrog Was a good friend of mine I never understood a single word he said But I helped him a-drink his wine And he always had some mighty fine wine.” Excuse me, but there seems to be a problem there...First off, why would you befriend a bullfrog, and how would you know what his name was? Is it surprising that it was hard to understand him when he spoke? What kind of demented lunatic would consider drink­ ing wine offered to him by an amphibious creature?! You can bet this intrepid reporter is gonna get these questions answered on the night of August fourth at the Great Audito­ rium. The other classic hit that’s mentioned in the Great Auditorium promotional literature for this performance is a timeless piece titled “Easy to be Hard.” Contrary to rumors, the makers of that little blue pill that Bob Dole promotes on television were not considering this song as an anthem. When I get this band alone in some sideroom of the auditorium I’m gonna make them put their walkers and canes to The Wexford at Wall Township the side and we’re going to get to the bottom of this rather depraved form of music composition. Before venturing any further, I should explain some of the other answers to Opens Sales Office the quiz because it I don’t I’m sure both of the people reading this column will experience many a sleepless night pondering the meaning of this unimportant drivel.

Residents will have their choice of accommodations, three fantasize about having three Alaskan Huskies wrapped around their torsos. delicious meals daily, and a full calendar of activities. I’ve been told, by somewhat reliable sources, that I went to a concert at Madison With a grand opening scheduled tor September 2001, Wexford representatives say Square Garden and saw “Three Dog Night” along with another classic band for the ages they are committed in operating a community that will address the needs and concerns of called “Bloodrock,” sometime around 1970. I seem to remember being seated in the the geriatric population at affordable prices. nosebleed seats by an elderly usher in a red suit, with a fez perched jauntily on his head, Photo (I to r); Patty Mikolon, Director of Community Relations, Mayor Frank Addonizio, who appeared to be experiencing adverse side effects from the thick clouds of pot smoke that had risen from the bowels of this famed arena. Bloodrock opened their set with their Nancy Renehan, Executive Director, Donn Norton, Sr., Wexford owner and CEO, Donn signature tune entitled “D.O.A.,” which consisted of twenty minutes of an ambulance siren Norton, Jr., Diane Noorigian, former president of the Wall Township Board of Education, blaring at decibel levels equal to those of a revved up 747 engine if you could squeeze into and Dennis Noorigian, Chair of the Board of Adjustment. the front seat of a Ford Taurus. The next thing I remember was being rudely shoved out of By Alesha Williams the back seat of my friend’s car in the parking lot of the Vince Lombardi rest area on the Turnpike while he foraged for change to pay the rest of the tolls. I was told that “Three Dog Night” put on a great show that night. Finally, as far as '1hree dog night" being a reference to a night looking for love at the RE/MAX Jersey Shore...what can I say? Boys and girls, we’ve all been there and it ain’t pretty. You know what they say, as alcohol consumption increases, standards tend to take a nosedive.
