The committee also plans to repave and restripe the main parking lot at the station in an attempt to pick up some additional spots. Peters added that the committee is also looking at some additional satellite locations, specifically in the Lincroft and Route 36 areas. The committee expects to pick up about 20 additional parking spaces by lay­ ing bluestone over the portion of the Banfield property closest to the station. Peters said that the spots will only be used on a temporary basis, although many resi­ dents in attendance spoke of their concern that temporary often becomes permanent in such matters. “All of these options will be used on a temporary basis while we await the report of a task force we have assembled consist­ ing of people from the neighborhood and our recreation staff,” Peters said. However, the committee would not give the residents a firm date when the temporary parking would be eliminated from the Banfield lot.

Correspondent

n a recent cold winter night, the atmosphere inside the Ragin’ Cajun at 1102 Route 35 in Belmar O was anything but. The dim lights, flickering candles, ceiling fans, and Deadman Blues tape playing softly lent just the right air of mystery. If you didn’t know better, you might think you were on the Louisiana bayou. Owner Trade Orsi has taken pains to make her restaurant warm, homey, and authentic, and she has succeeded. To hear Orsi tell it, she got into the business by a fluke. Seven years ago she threw in the towel at her past career suc­ cess or lack thereof — and thought of opening a restaurant. “’I can do this,” she told herself. She chose Cajun and Creole because she loves the food and saw a need. “Most menus have one Cajun item,” she says. Orsi read up on the people and the food and is now an expert. Cajun is not necessarily spicy, she’ll tell you, it’s highly seasoned. The Cajun people are poor and they eat whatever is available, whether it “grows in the yard, flies in the sky, or swims in the ‘crick’ ”. It’s simple food, made with fresh ingredients and usually cooked in one pan or pot. The wide variety of appetizers includes red beans and rice, and alligator sausage. The three spicy items on the menu, Jambalaya, Creole, and etouffe (“smoth­ ered” chicken and shrimp, or shrimp and scallops), are rated on a scale of 1 to 10. JACKIE POLLACK Weekend specials always include four fish Trade Orsi, owner of Ragin’ Cajun in Belmar, whips up some chicken jambalaya. dishes, such as mussels, crawfish, alligator, mahi mahi, snapper or oysters.

The Checking Account That Opens the Door to Value! According to a press release issued by Brookdale’s office of college regulations, the school’s administration is working with campus police as well as local, state and emergency personnel to investigate the threat. As part of the search, specially trained dogs were used to “sweep” each building, and police and emergency offi­ cials carefully examined each area, search­ ing for anything that could be regarded as suspicious. However, nothing was found. V a l i e v B a n k The investigation with regard to the threats will continue in cooperation with the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office and other law enforcement bodies. The college’s president, Peter F. Burnham, issued a statement detailing the extent of the investigation, and how the decision was made to close the school. “It is unfortunate that the college has had to experience bomb threats,” he said. “Tragically, this type of abhorrent behav­ ior has become too common in our socie­ ty. We chose to close the entire college to f o r O n e Y e a r emphasize the paramount concern we have for the health, safety and security of all our campus community.” The school also canceled classes on • ATM Card fo r One Year • 24-Hour Telephone Banking Feb. 17 after a woman left a voice-mail message threatening to blow up the social Offer good through 7/29/2000. sciences and business building; however, • “A dditional Interest” no devices were found that day and the campus reopened in time for evening • F irst O rder o f Check FREE S a v in g s P r o g r a m classes.

MIDDLETOWN — What looked like a close contest in the first half turned into a runaway victory for Christian Brothers Academy in the Shore Conference Boys Basketball Tournament final on Saturday. Leading 35-29 at halftime, undefeated CBA got tough defensively and shut down No. 2 seed Neptune, en route to a 60-38 win before a standing-room-only crowd at Brookdale Community College. The victory was the school’s first Shore title since 1996 and 10th overall. With the Shore Conference title under their belt, CBA sets its eyes on the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association Boys Parochial A tournament. The Colts will face the winner of Monday’s Gloucester Catholic and Holy Cross game tomorrow. CBA Coach Ed Wicelinski said that at the intermission, the team made some defensive adjustments which worked like a charm in the second half. > “We had to extend the perimeter de­ fense a little more,” he said. Senior forward Jason Krayl, who scored 20 of his 24 points in the first half, said the team was “shocked” at the way the Scarlet Fliers were staying with them. “We couldn’t believe how well they Mike Skrocki gets a good look at the were making their shots,” he said. basket for two of his 10 points against Once the Colts defense went to work on Neptune on Saturday in the Shore Conference Boys Basketball Tourna­ shutting down Neptune’s perimeter ment final.

For others it was a coming-out party, with the prom­ ise of even greater success in the future. A young Ocean squad walked away with its fourth consecutive District 22 team title, with 171 points, while Middletown North finished second with 138 points. Rumson-Fair Haven took third with 112 points. Middletown North’s John Hockin en­ joyed the spotlight by defeating Red Bank’s Geoff Fitton, 11-2, in the 125- pound final, earning his fourth district title. Hockin, who received the district’s Outstanding Wrestler Award, pinned his way to the final, and pulled away from Fitton late in the first period en route to his victory. It was the 87th win of Hockin’s career, moving him ahead of Mike Florio on the Lions all-time list. However, Hockin said that breaking Florio’s record wasn’t as important to him as winning the district title. “I’m looking forward to finally winning a region championship this year,” he said. “I’m not really into the numbers, but it’s been a pleasure wrestling for Middletown North for the past four years, and I’m glad I could contribute something to the team.”
