, R.OADS Traffic dominates 4 e “S e a t S u w t m & i *Vat last week’s meet­ ing was the increased traffic impact on the Telegraph Hill Road-Bethany Road inter­ section just north of the Fieldcrest site. Bethany Road is a major east-west cor­ ridor in the township, but, according to Mayor Robert Giannone, much of the traf­ fic on the road is from other surrounding FRANK’S towns. For that reason, the township hopes NURSERY & CRAFTS to turn responsibility for this corridor over to the county. A portion of the road also serves as part of the border between Holmdel and Hazlet to the north. Daniel Malcolm, a member of the Hazlet Planning Board, said he fears in­ creased traffic from the development will create traffic backups on Telegraph Hill Road and Bethany Road, decreasing the quality of life along Bethany Road, and that such congestion issues be more “seri­ Huge Blow ously considered.” Malcolm also noted the backed-up traf­ fic could get stuck on the Bethany Road railroad crossing just north of the Holmdel border and also block emergency vehicles from getting to Route 35. Giannone said in a later interview that 7 5 % the amount of traffic created by the devel­ opment would be a very small percentage of total traffic on the road. Discontinued MSupplies “People get the wrong impression of the impact that residential developments have on traffic,” he said. The Township Committee recently authorized Township Engineer Ed Broberg to proceed with preliminary engineering for a traffic signal at the Telegraph Hill Road-Bethany Road intersection, and Broberg is going to meet with county offi­ cials to discuss the plans. The township would like Siegel to con­ tribute funds to the Telegraph Hill Road- Bethany Road traffic signal, according to ■ Foods Aquariums & Accessories Giannone. ■ Treats Domestic Bird Accessories “Our aim is to get them to share the cost of the light,” he said. ■ Toys Small Animal Habitats There has also been talk about having ■ Collars & Leads Cat Litter Siegel contribute improvements to the Bethany Road-Holmdel Road inter­ ■ Beds & Pillows Bird Feeders section, located a short distance west of Telegraph Hill Road.

How sweet it is: A 1 6 0 0 on the SAT

M ataw an student had no idea she had done so well

BY LIN D A D eNICOLA Staff Writer ABERDEEN — Matawan Regional High School junior Aarti Khanolkar got the surprise of her life when she realized she got a perfect score on her Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT). “I didn’t think I did anywhere near as well,” Aarti said. When she received her results, “I looked all over it and all I could see were 800s. I didn’t think that was my score,” she said, referring to the possible maximum scores on the verbal and math portions of the test. She showed it to her mother, who pointed out to her that the 800s were, in fact, her scores. Aarti thought she had done well on the math section, but she was sure she hadn’t done well on the verbal portion, which she said includes four sections o f verbal questions. By the end of the third section the words weren’t making sense to her. “You’re supposed to find an analogy or a relationship between the words. I did­ n’t see any, so I just started picking any­ thing that seemed close enough,” she recalled.

BY MARY DEMPSEY Staff Writer

HAZLET — Tears flowed at Raritan High School on Jan. 14 as students, friends and teachers gathered to remember Carlos Robles. On Jan. 10, the 15-year-old freshman died from injuries he sustained after being struck by a car while attempting to ride his bicycle across Route 36 at Laurel Avenue the day before. The entire student body attended the emotionally packed memorial service held in the school’s auditorium. Throughout the service, the school’s choir sang songs in memory of Carlos. Carlos was a member of the school choir. The group honored Carlos by placing a single red rose in a vase on the piano in front of the choir. Cries of grief were heard throughout the audience as friends got up to share memories of Carlos.

The savings were the result of the au­ thority’s unique flexibility to negotiate the debt structure and price of the bonds, which helped the MCIA achieve an attractive 4.89 percent true interest cost over 20 years, MCIA Chairman John Kay noted. The M CIA obtained municipal bond insurance from Ambac Insurance Corp., which allowed each of the participants to benefit from the highest AAA credit rating. The pooled financing allowed the authority to solicit premiums from the insurers, result­ ing in the lower cost of insurance. The higher credit rating reduced the interest costs by $238,693 over the cost of the bond issue. The MCIA’s professional team was able to negotiate and adjust the terms of the bonds during pricing on Dec. 2 to achieve the low­ est possible cost of obtaining the funds. Those adjustments resulted in an additional savings of $6,047. Also, the MCIA was able to issue bonds at a premium. The premium was used either to reduce the bond size for the individual municipalities or was distrib­ uted to the municipalities as additional pro­ ceeds to be applied to their projects. The municipalities that elected to downsize their bond issues saved a combined total of $153,116 in interest costs over the life of the bond issue, while the other municipalities utilized available proceeds to reduce future borrowing costs. “These options would not have been available to these municipalities if they had sold their bonds on their own in a traditional, competitive bond sale,” Kay said. “In addi­ tion, the towns saved money by pooling their needs to convert BANs into a single MCIA bond issue and sharing the issuance costs. By pooling their needs, we were able to create a single bond issuance of a size that is more attractive to the market.” In addition to converting BANs, Atlantic Highlands and Marlboro will use proceeds from the bond sale to fund new ordinances, saving the cost of a second bond sale. Fair Haven converted outstanding BANs with >\Jer* ^ Snow !

Generally, they convert their BANs to permanent financing when their debt grows large enough to make a long-term bond sale practi­ cal. However, once a municipality publishes the date of its bond sale, the date and the debt structure are locked in. If market conditions are unfavorable when the sale date arrives, the alternative to accepting higher rates is to sell the BANs for another year. Improvement authorities, however, have greater flexibility than municipalities in tim­ ing the sale of the bonds and negotiating the price. As a result, the M CIA usually can react more quickly to changes in market con­ ditions and often achieves lower interest rates on the bonds. 4 4 INDEPENDENT, JANUARY 21, 1998

Although he originally got the dog as a pet, he soon found out that border collies want to do more than just relax and enjoy life around the house. Border collies, also known for their sheep herding ability, have a natural instinct to “chase,” and they make it their duty to round up just about any other animal in their vicinity. As Marcks’ collie became more and more rambunctious, he began sneaking onto the golf course leading Marcks to notice that his dog was very effective at something besides making mischief: Chasing the geese away.
