The gift, which totals more than $8.75 million, was made by Dorothy Young, of Ocean Grove, whose family has a long connection with the college. Her father graduated from the Drew Theologi­ cal School in 1901, and her brother, Sherman Plato Young, was a Latin and Greek professor and varsity baseball coach at Drew for many years. Her gift comes from the Gilbert N. Kiamie Charitable Trust which was created by Young’s late husband and managed by her, grandson James C. Perkins, and great-grandson James E. Perkins. Mrs. Young’s generosity has allowed the university to move forward with construction of the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts scheduled to be open by January 2003. The university will break ground for the new building on April 5, 2001. Drew President Thomas H. Kean said, “Dorothy and her family long ago gave their hearts to Drew. Now her name will grace a building devoted to the arts which she loves so intensely. Over the years, she and her late husband, Gilbert, were major benefactors of the Sherman Plato Young Scholarship at Drew, and a prior contribution of $600,000 through gift annuities will eventually endow the Dorothy Young Scholarship in the Arts. A philanthropist with many interests, Mrs. Young is a 30-year member of the board of the Jersey Shore Medical Center, belongs to the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Eastern Star, and is active in the Ocean Grove Historical Society and St. Paul’s Methodist Church, also in Ocean Grove. She is a former stage assistant to magician Harry Houdini, an actress, dancer, author and artist. Drew awarded her an honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters in 1995. Spring Lake Chamber to Host She credits Tom Kean for her continuing involvement with the university. “How wonderful it has been for Tom Kean to be here. Words cannot describe what he has done for Drew: the grounds, the Annual Fashion Show buildings, the morale. He makes me very happy to be affiliated with Drew.” Still active at 90, Young says she acquired her interest in the arts from her parents.

At the Entrance to the Valley of the Developer in Violation of Ordinance Kings in Luxor, Egypt By Alesha Williams Neptune Township - At a meeting last week. Township officials determined that local developer Philip Konvitz was in violation of a Township tree removal ordinance when he cleared nearly two acres of his Walnut Street property in Neptune, on March 24, according to Neptune Mayor Joseph Krimko. Residents in the neighboring area of the lot were present at the Township’s April 9 meeting to express concerns regarding the legality of the clearing of trees on the site, which included fears that the clearing would cause runoff rain and soil buildup on their property. Residents brought to the attention of the Committee that they did not believe the developer had the proper permits to clear the site, as neighbors had received no notifica­ tion of any development there. The site was located adjacent to property in a residential area that Konvitz had been utilizing as an office space where he provides no-interest loans. According to Krimko, the developer said he did not clear the lot with the intent for any development there. “Konvitz doesn't claim to be planning any development, but it does raise some ques­ tions," said Krimko, “It's unusual to suddenly start taking down trees across a whole lot as he did, without plans for the lot.” Jersey Girls travel around the world for their very own Jersey Girl T-Shirt, Jersey Mayor Krimko, along with Township attorney Daniel Jacobson, Prosecutor James Girl Mug...Jersey Girl Sweats, Notecards, P.J.’s, Street Signs, License Plates Butler, and Code and Construction Qfficial Pat Townsend, met on Tuesday of last week and determined that Konvitz’s actions were in violation of Township ordinances and or­ Teddy Bears & more.

Pashin, Aberdeen ______Dear Editor, O A Letter to Neptune Township's Mayor Joseph Krimko: 'V-; ' V* > This is a follow-up to my letter to you of, March 7, 2001. As I indicated, the parents and grandparents of the children using the school buses are corx«med that some dog owners are '■ . 1/^- W' not picking up after their dogs The park area has been densely strewn with dog feces since I' • early this fall (The beginning of the sdxx)l season). Let me remind you , that this is a public park, it is used by children and adults. The South-East comer serves as a major school bus stop for four buses. While the children wait, they play in the park. When they go home, some walk across the park. A lady was noticed recently walking her dog in the park. She did not pick up after her dog, t when questioned by several parents and myself, she said that she was not able to bend and I t S / / could not pick up. I am sorry that she has this problem, however, there are “pooper scoopers” with tong handles. My dear neighbor, if you read this may I suggest you use one of these and use the disposal container at the North-West comer of the park. Recently I was waiting for my Grartodaughter, when I noticed a group of men raking the Publisher A Editor...... Stephanie'A. Smith park lawn. Leaves and sticks were neatly piled throughout. A quick inspection irxlicated to me Executive Editor...... Heather A. Hoerrner that they raked around the dog feces and left them there. Believe it! Here was an opportunity at no extra cost to correct this distasteful condition. I asked the man who seemed to be the Contributing Editors...... Alesha Williams foreman if they were going to pick up the dog feces. While washing dog feces off his boot in Pat Durkin-Wignall gutter water, he answered, ‘’Oh no, we don’t do that.” I asked will someone else remove them? Richard Gibbons I assumed the answer was no when he explained that the rain would wash them away. (The Bonnie Graham material washed away in this case represent pollutants, which end up in our water ways and Denise Herschel possibly in our drinking water sources.) It turns out that these men were contractors hired by Neptune Township. Bill Kresge Mayor Krimko, I assume that there is a signed contract between the Township and the Peggy Skudera contractor. I don’t mean to be facetious, but does the contract include the removal of dog feces? Pet Editor...... Heicfi Hillard I always thought raking meant removal of all foreign material or is there a number of job Circulation...... John Robinson descriptions for raking.

Equal Housing Opportunity. Conflict....Continued from page 1 Main Avenue, Ocean Grove. While the property had already been approved for conversion into a hotel, boutique and restaurant, developers at the hearing sought approval to in­ stead convert the building into condominiums. Prior to the hearing, Paladino had been vocal in his opposition to that change, and recused himself from proceedings at the time of the hearing. Chamber counsel Bernard C. Karasic, of Stone Mandia LLC Attorneys at Law, ad­ vised that although recused, Paladino remained at that hearing and “continued to ‘partici­ pate’ in the proceedings.” Karasic said Paladino sat with counsel for the opposition (the Ocean Grove Homeowners Association,) passed notes to him and vocally offered advice and counsel, feeding him information, and ‘‘in all other respects made known his opposi­ tion to the application.” “I think he makes up his own mind and doesn’t want to hear anyone’s opinion except his,” said Chairperson Price, “The Board is such that we try to respect each others’ opinions - I don’t think he respects everyone’s.” In an earlier interview, Paladino denied that any conflict exists in his presence on both the Board of Adjustment and the Homeowners Association. He said that he felt he had no problems upholding his responsibilities on both the Association and the Board in a fair manner. Apparently, however, even some members of the Board of Adjustment disagreed with ; Matisse To Re-Open Soon Paladino’s assessment of the situation.

And l^ to r ic Allaire Village comes alive with an 1830’s Spring Market and Auction Day on Saturday, April 28 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. This family interpretive ■event is a fund-raiser for Allaire Village, Inc. Admission is free. A tradition of early-American life, the Spring Market was a way to shuffle off the dol­ drums of a long, cold, winter and greet the new year with a festive mood. The highlight of the Spring Market was the abundance of flowers and plants that had shaken off their winter caps and begun to bloom and thrive in the warmth of spring. For the villagers of a rural community such as the Howell Iron Works, the Spring Market was a chance to get out and celebrate with neighbors, family and friends. But it was also a time for making money. Winter crops on local farms and gardens are ready for harvest and the local peddlers and itinerant craftsmen are out looking for business! Our celebration re-creates just such a market, with plenty of villagers out hawking everything from food to nails. The Village Carpenter and Blacksmith will be demonstrating and selling the products of their art and the ladies of the village will have plenty of baked goods and other items for sale throughout the Village. There will also be music and general festivity. Visitors can participate in outdoor games and amusements, and two special auctions will be held during the day where items especially made by the village craftsmen will be up for bids along with select items from the general store, even some floral pieces too. Featured throughout the village will be floral displays and decoration provided cour­ Former Sergeant Jack Hill was sworn in as Lieutenant of Belmar Police Department by Belmar tesy of many of our local florists and merchants.

He says that he and the Unbearables group began meeting fifteen years ago as a support group for writers, and eventually evolved into a small venue for readings before developing into a large group of writers doing performances throughout the New York area. Approximately 15 of those writers and 30 artists will be featured in the readings here at the shore, themed, “Figuratively Prophetic,” says Neuman. Although he lives in Manhattan during the year, as owner of the Chelsea Morning Inn, Neuman summers here In Ocean Grove with his wife Karen, an illustrator and instructor at the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York City, Neuman says he chose his Ocean Grove Inn as a location for the Unbearables performance because of his love for the area. “Ocean Grove really compliments New York because it is a peaceful retreat from the tension and excitement of the city,” Neuman said, “It's such a beautifully aesthetic environment. I love the gingerbread on the Victorian houses, the colors, and the boardwalk is one of the most beautiful places you can find anywhere in the world.” The Unbearables Asbury Park perfor­ mance will be held at the recently opened DOOM gallery in Asbury Park, a nostalgi­ cally-styled urban exhibition space devoted to the multicultural revitalization of downtown Asbury Park, At their April 28 and 29th readings, the Unbearables will present prose and poetry reading from their collective anthology, soon to be published by Autonomedia, entitled, “Help Yourself.” The book, due to be released By Alesha Williams in May, is a parody of ever-popular self-help books.

Shalom says that the Unbearables artists and writers share the same artistic vision in pointing out “the things we are caught up in which are rx)t spiritual or mean­ ingful to psychological well-being,” in their works. ‘Our sodety is consumed with that which is not spiritual,” says Shalom, “Art, however, is a spiritual experience.” As the Unbearables subject matter breaks barriers, Shalom's artistic endeav­ ors have been breaking barriers for decades as he combines everything from oil painting to strobe lights to auto-body parts, to create art that is as multi-media driven as the soci­ ety in whbh we live. A piece by the artist coub feature any number of blinking lights, text from the Unbearables writings, sculpture, 3-dimensional images, and even motion detectors for interaction. Music and sound are also a trademark of Shalom’s work - his art has featured musb by the likes of renown jazz musician Don Cherry, father of entertainers Neneh Cherry and Eagle-Eye Cherry, among other artists. Some of his most revolutbnary works irtclude 13-toot-tall mechanical robots that actually speak. Neuman says his works can take anywhere from a few months to years to complete. “My art is a synthesis of painting and sculpture with light and sound - 1 like to call it fusion arts,” says Shalom. “I combine painting and all those various elements, my work fuses media. We are multi- sensory beings, why not make art that includes all those senses?” Neuman continues, “1 like to explore breaking barriers between disciplines.” “I deal with topics that are relevant to life and pop culture - the myths,” Neuman adds, ‘Things that have been ingrained in us that are worth thinking about - myths about our heritage, our beliefs. It interests me to just look at things from a different angle.” One aspect of the “myths” Shalom deals with is exemplified in three ten-foot sculptures pres­

Mr. Rooney said, “I believe there is enough funding for the intersection project to pay for this additional work - concrete driveway aprons and sidewalk reconstruction.” The Mayor/Council agreed to release Grace Lowry from the second year of her two- year oceanfront kiosk concession contract. As had been stated at the previous meeting, Ms. Lowry had written to the Mayor/Council, asking permission to exit her contract, due to the financial loss she had withstood last summer. Mayor Schueler said that he had con­ tacted the only person he thought might be interested in picking up the concession and was told by this individual that there was not enough time to bid for this season. “Ms. Lowry was gracious with her letter, and we do not want to put a hardship on her,” the Mayor said. Borough Attorney Joseph Quinn will prepare bid specifications for a kiosk conces­ sion at the La Reine Avenue building, one which would permit only merchandise, and not food/beverages. The specifictions will be ready for the next municipal meeting on May 8. Mayor Schueler announced the dedication of the Phil Gerard Memorial at Sylvan Lake on Saturday, April 21, at 12 noon. “Phil Gerard, while serving Bradley Beach as Mayor, was instrumental in creating the island that bears his name. He is recently deceased.

It combines the home- baked “wake-up” foods everyone loves at breakfast with delicious flavors that are traditionally reserved for later in the day. And spring is the perfect season to serve brunch to your loved ones as the tantalizing aromas of homemade breads, muffins and pancakes complement the crisp chill in the air. Next time you plan a Sunday brunch for your family and friends, make it special by adding twists to your favorite brunch recipes. For example, add delicious fruit flavor and texture to baked goods by using cereals that con­ tain real fruit and crispy, hearty flakes. Before the family wakes up, sneak into the kitchen and start baking. Your family will expect blueberry muffins to be on their brunch table, so surprise them by making special White Chocolate Chunk Blueberry Muffins. Sweet blueberries from Post Selects Blueberry Morning cereal float in between morsels of white chocolate and are surrounded by savory cinnamon. The aroma alone will be enough to pull your family out from underneath their blankets. Chocolate lovers can also be satisfied with Chocolate Speckled Double Banana Bread. The banana “double play” is provided by ripe bananas and Post Selects Banana Nut Crunch cereal. Drizzle with chocolate to add that irresistible touch. Citrus Cranberry Scones are welcome on any brunch menu as the tart lemon flavor harmonizes with tangy cranberry flavor to create a scrump­ tious treat. Of course, brunches need some true breakfast foods...and pancakes are always a favorite. To add creative flair with minimal effort, make Banana Pancakes by mixing banana-flavored cereal into the batter, resulting in thicker pancakes with richer flavor. While these recipes, along with Cran­ berry Pear Crisp and Sour Cream Coffee Cake create the perfect week­ end brunch, they are also great for everyday occasions too.
