A rea students take

part in art contest Five students from Crighton School in Matawan participated in the 1999 Calendar Art Contest sponsored by the New Jersey Task Force on Child Abuse and Neglect and the New Jersey PTA. The students focused on the theme, “What Every Child Needs.” Utilizing crayons, markers and other art mediums, the students drew their interpretations of the theme. Drawings illustrated physical, social and emotional needs that the chil­ dren think are important for a happy, healthy and secure childhood, such as a safe neighborhood, a good school or a lov­ ing family. Participating local students were Tessa Deeken of Keyport arid Adrienne Felt of Matawan. Each student who participated will re­ ceive a certificate of participation. Artwork selected from the entries will be forwarded for judging. Grand prize win­ ners will receive a $50 U.S. Savings Bond and will be honored at a special ceremony.

B y A n it a S tra to s Correspondent f you’ve ever wondered what to do with those vin­ tage watches or clocks that I haven’t worked for years, stop in at Greco Jewelers and Clock Shop on Main Street in South River. George and Tony Greco, a father and son team, have been specializing in antique watch and clock repair for the past 10 years. Their family-owned busi­ ness has become the largest repair center in Central Jersey, including being the main service center for Howard Miller and Ridgeway Service Center, two of the largest clock manufacturers in the country. All of the repair work is done on the premises by George and Tony unless the item in need of repair is a grandfather clock, in which case they will do the work at the client’s home. From pocket watches to mantle clocks to cuckoo clocks, the Grecos proudly note that there is noth­ ing they can’t do. Only in the case of Rolex watch repair is a certified Rolex watchmaker brought in. And because repairs are done in the shop, the turn around time is short. George Greco’s interest in repairing timepieces began in the 1960s when he worked for Kimber Business Machines in FAMILY RUN — George Greco (I) and his son Tony work on repairing a clock at their store Greco Jewelers & Clock Shop North Brunswick.

his winter’s calm weather has many Central Jersey residents already thinking of warmer tem­ Tperatures and the outdoor pool season. Although these feelings may be a little premature — the area has gotten socked by a number of March snow storms in recent years — the pool supply industry welcomes these visions of chlorine and rafts dancing around in people’s heads. “Whenever we have a mild winter, people seem to come into our store ear­ lier than usual to purchase their pools New Mosaic ■■ and supplies,” Steven Metz, vice presi­ dent of the family-owned Central Jersey Pools, located on Route 9 in Freehold, Collection! said. “The warmer the weather, the more they come in.

Specially Priced...$4.99 to $34.99 “The maintenance should really only takeup about an hour of your time each week,” Metz said. “So, it’s really not that much of commitment. You can also hire a cleaning service to come to your house to d o the job. Most companies that sell pools offer that service.” Cost is another factor that often dis­ courages people from purchasing pools. However, the price of an above-ground pool is actually quite affordable averag­ ing in the $1,000 to $3,000 range, the typical cost of a family vacation. And, while the normal vacation may last only one or two weeks, the installation of a pool can result in years of family fun and priceless memories. “When you purchase a pool, you are creating a vacation paradise in your own back yard,” Metz said. “That is quite spe­ cial. It also helps w ith stress relaxation and brings the family closer together. Your house will' be the place to be.” Those families with more money to spend often opt for the Cadillacs of pools, the in-ground model. Metz said most in-ground pools usually start at around $15,000 and can rise substantial­ ly higher.
