St. Joseph's students required to do written report, oral presentation

KEYPORT — Students at St. Joseph’s School showed their creative talents as well as their science skills at last week’s annual science fair. While volcanoes were barred this year — because they were becoming too messy and too numerous — the school-wide fair held Jan. 27 as part of National Catholic Schools week, featured everything from a mouthwash experiment to a test of battery durability. “Ours was fun,” said Kristen Komaniesski, who, with her seventh-grade classmate Corinne Marotta, studied the ef­ fectiveness of mouthwashes. “It was interesting to test the mouth­ washes to see which one was better,” Kristen said. The pair tested the mouthwashes by us­ ing swipes of bacteria taken from their mouths. They examined the bacteria under a microscope, then added the mouthwash to the slide and observed which mouthwash was most effective in clearing up the bac­ WHICH ONE’S BEST? — Kristen Komaniesski (I) and Corinne Marotta display their science project testing the effectiveness of teria. different mouthwashes.

New state program provides easy access to senior services

BY LINDA DENICOLA

Staff W riter MIDDLETOWN — Gov. Christine Whitman was in town last week to announce the establishment of a program new to Monmouth County, NJ EASE. The acronym EASE stands for Easy Access, Single Entry and refers to a new, fully staffed telephone line that will provide one-stop information for seniors. By dialing (800) 246-9292, callers can now obtain information on a wide range of services and programs for seniors, including Pharmaceutical Assistance to the Aged and Disabled, Lifeline and Medicaid, plus refer­ rals to other agencies, along with help in contacting them. According to the governor, her office has received numerous calls from people asking for easier access to information. There are more than 1 million men and women over the age of 60 whose lives will be made easi­ er by this program, Whitman said at a 2 p.m. press conference Thursday at the Middletown Senior Center at the Croyden Hall complex on Leonardville Road. “When you have a question, whether it be wanting to find out about Meals on Wheels or housing, you don’t need a touch- tone telephone and will not get a pro­ grammed voice asking you to push this num­ SENIORS TO BENEFIT — Catherine Gamba of Leonardo, along with her husband Angelo, listen to Gov.

BY MARY DEMPSEY

Staff W riter MIDDLETOWN — Jan. 26-30 marked Catholic Schools Week at area parochial schools. St. Mary’s Elementary School in New Monmouth celebrated the week with a number of festivities for students, parents and staff. On Jan. 26, the school held its fourth annual Student Celebration Day spon­ sored by the PTA. During Student Celebration day, stu­ dents and parents participate in games related to Bible stories. The activities included knocking down an 8-foot Goliath with a sling shot and decorating Joseph’s technicolor dream coat. The school held an open house on Jan. 27 for parents. The following day, the PTA and school community honored the school staff and teachers by celebrating Teacher and Staff Recognition Day. On Jan. 29, the school presented the Honorary Catholic Schools Week Chairperson Award and acknowledged Peace Awareness at an assembly in the school’s Memorial Hall. Two people were recognized this year as the school’s honorary Catholic Schools Week chairperson.

A lthough your child has left home to begin the life of a college stu­ dent, parents can still let them know they are thinking of them by send­ ing a wonderful surprise via the mail - a gift package. In business only a few w eeks, Campus Cravings is helping family mem­ bers send a gift of love with the creation of baskets to suit any college student’s needs, from everyday essentials to snack foods. The business, owned and operated by family friends Robin Fass and Norma Landsman, is run from Fass’s Marlboro home. Both are no strangers to having kids going or already away at college. Fass, who has a son in his freshman year, said she had a hard time when he first left for school. However, she said, “Just because your child goes away to school doesn’t mean they are no longer part of the family. Rather the family extends to where the child is living.” Although both women had been bouncing the idea around for awhile, it didn’t materialize until several months ago. “We had been talking about it for quite awhile but the idea didn’t materi­ alize until the end of October,” accord­ ing to Landsman.

A GREATER MEDIA NEWSPAPERS SPECIAL SECTION Rough Rider transports patrons to the Wild W e s t

By Jo-Ann Lamon Reccoppa Correspondent

S teak houses are gaining in popular­ ity of late, and the Rough Rider Steak House and Saloon on Route 9 North in Marlboro, has something to offer which so many of its competitors lack — individuality. Rough Rider isn’t a franchise, and is, therefore, free to break away from the run of the mill steak house fare and be creative with steak house selections. Ow ner Paul Golden, General Manager Ed Curtis, and Kitchen Manager Skip Schuler, visualized opening a steak house but wanted total control of menu selections, and the newly opened eatery is thriving because o f this concept. “We like giving our customers a wide variety of choices with our own distinct touches, which is why w e chose not to be part of a franchise. Eating should never be corporate answerable,” Curtis explains. Inside the rustic, charmingly relaxed dining room, the enticing aroma of mesquite grilled beef sets your mouth watering. But before slicing into that medium rare steak, you will want to try one of the appetizers, including selec­ tions such as baby back ribs with barbe­ cue sauce, roasted clams, the Texas wall flower (huge onion battered and golden fried), or Texas twigs (strips of onion and jalapeno peppers battered and golden fried). O f course, familiar favorites such EAGER TO PLEASE — The staff at Rough Rider Steak House and Saloon, Marlboro, offer friendly and attentive as potato skins, cheese fries, chicken fin­ service. gers, mozzarella sticks, shrimp cocktail, (Augusto F.
