T h e district alread y has one altern ative school and w ill be im plem enting another one in the fall. The first altern ative school is housed in C ro yd o n H all, L e o n a rd v ille R oad. T h e school has 4 5 students w ho have d ifficu lty in the traditional structure o f a classro o m and a lso have b e h a v io r p ro b ­ lem s. Jo e Priest, w ho is in c h a rg e o f pupil services, said the school is m akin g a d if­ ference. He said the school has been able to in d iv id u a liz e the s tu d e n ts ’ p ro g ra m s w h ich allow s them to not “ feel lost in the cro w d .” H e also said the school p ro vid es cou n ­ se lin g for the students, and the teach ers are aw a re o f their p ro b lem s.

It is not a place for kids with discipline problem s In H azlet, there really is no need fo r it, he said.

M ID D L E T O W N — G a rd e n s co m e in till shapes and sizes, but a school garden is special. A t B a y v i e w E le m e n t a r y S c h o o l, on Leonardville R oad, students h ave created a garden lo beautify their school, learn about the environm ent and m ore. B a s ic s k il ls te a c h e r B e r n i c e B e r g e r started the organic garden project, her third in the district. B efo re teaching at B a y v ie w , she started gard e n s at L e o n a rd o and Nut Sw am p elem entary schools, w here she also taught. F ifth -g ra d e vo lu n teers began w o rk in g on the garden, located at the back o f the s ch o o l, in O c to b c r, la y e r in g the groun d w ith n e w s p a p e rs to p re p a re the so il fo r flo w e rs and v e g e ta b le s . P la n ts and v e g ­ etables also can be seen g r o w in g on the w indow sills in several classroom s. The B a y v ie w P T A donated $ 2 5 0 to buy su p p lies that h a v e h elp ed the garden g e t started, B erger said. “ The students are so enthused about the w ork, every tim e they h ave a free mom ent they stop by m y classroom and ask if any­ thing needs to be done in the garden,” she said. B esides flow ers, ihe students have been g ro w in g p otatoes, p eas and strin g b ean s and w ill soon plant tomatoes. “T h e first time the students found string beans, they ran around show ing each other what grew ,” B erg e r said. B y planting the garden, students used a variety o f s k ills , in clu din g m ath, w ritin g and reading. A m o n g their duties w ere fig ­ uring out measurem ents for the garden and keeping a record o f m oney spent on sup­ plies. T h e y re s e a rc h e d g a rd e n p la n tin g in books and v ia the com pu ter W orld W id e W eb; and h ave been k eep in g a log about their pro gress w hich in clu des poem s and short stories. One o f the m ost im portant things stu­ dents are learn in g is the n ecessity o f fo l­

low in g directions, Berger said. T h e fifth g ra d e is not the o n ly c la s s in volved. W hile Ihey do all the digging and planting, fourth-graders have been learning about earthworm s and ants that inhabit the garden soil, w h ile third-graders have been le a r n in g a b o u t e c o lo g y and how liv in g organism s relate lo the environment. B a d w eath er m ade it harder to get the garden started, but B erger said even i f the plants do not survive, the children will still h ave learned som ething. The look in their e y e s as th ey w atch the plan ts g ro w “ is am azin g,” B e rg e r said. “ I think the success o f the garden is that students e n jo y it m ore than if they w ere doing it at home, because it is something o f their ow n and they are w orking among their peers,” she said. The B a y v ie w students also plan to beau­ tify the garden with trees. “ It is our hope to plant trees around the perim eter o f the garden to provide a tranquil place fo r students to com e and release em o­ tional tension,” B e rg e r said.

G U A R A N T E j ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ The waterfront property purchase by the borough o f K e yport from the Central R a ilro a d was authorized at Monday night’s council meeting despite the protest o f Alfred T. Poling, former councilman, during the public hearing. The ordinance adopted provides for the purchase of land adjoining the water plant property, a part of lot 30, block 58, and the riparian rights, at a cost not to exceed $3,000. Mr. Poling stated that the sale price is excessive as the property has no value to anyone. Councilm an Hopla, chairman o f the Department of Public Service, replied that the main purpose is to provide for expansion o f the water plant. Poling said that the water plant has been sufficient without expansion for 75 years and would not need to be expanded in the next 75 years.

DeOrio can count on strong play from Eileen Russell, who has three assists, and Maureen Reardon, who has two helpers. In addition, Katie Seward and Katie Daley, both freshman, have set­ tled into the lineup displaying veteran-like poise in lhe process. Each has scored a goal. Although the Lancers are well-fortified up front and in the middle, their defense has been stingy, lo say the least. Co-cap­ tain Susan Convery, another four-year player, has been outstanding. When necessary, she can dribble the ball up by herself and other teams have been moving their best forwards away from her. M eanw hile, sweeper Katie Sova, a tenacious defender who moved back from the middle, has shone and Cindy Dale is rarely caught out of posi­ tion. Both are sophomores who started last season.

In goal, sophomore Erin Shortmeyer aggressively challenges opposition shoot­ ers, often making them hurry shots, and when the occasion calls for it, she seems to make the big saves. Kristen Bakia is a reliable backup, performing well in limit­ ed action. While the Lancers are enjoying a suc­ cessful spring, the coach admits he is looking forward to the fall, when the Shore Conference girls soccer teams will take lhe field with the rest if the teams in the state. DeOrio, who now coache.'' Vianney’s boys and girls teams, will remain on the girls’ sideline come September. DeO rio added that he and assistant coach Pat Petretta believe it will give his players an unprecedented opportunity to grow together as a team. “W e’re all very excited about having a chance to compete in the state playoffs, be we also don’t want to think too far ahead,” DeOrio explained. “Right now we have a chance to win our conference again, and we want to make our mark in the Shore (tournament). So that’s what we’re con­ centrating on.”

“We were extremely excited,” Karl Torchia said of the last victory won by his MiddlcLown South High School boys track team. It’s a typical comment from a coach and it masks the epochal significance of South’s 70-61 win over Christian Brothers Academy last week. With that triumph, Torchia’s trackmen ended C B A ’s astonishing 19-year dual meet winning streak, reaching back over 135 straight spring meets. The last team lo defeat the Colts was a post-high school squad from West Point Prep. “We knew we had a chance this year, because this seemed to be the most vul­ nerable C B A has been — and beating them was definitely one of our major goals,” Torchia said of his team’s Shore Conference Class A North adversary. “This is a well-rounded team, but 1 don’t know if it’s the best team I ’ve had in my three years of coaching.” South, which is 4-0 on the year, was 5­ 2 in Torchia’s first year at the helm, fol­ lowed by a 6-1 mark last season with a team Torchia said may have been stronger than the current addition. Still, the 1996 Eagles are no slouch. The team leader is senior John McGowan, “the best 800-meter guy in the state,” according to his coach. McGowan, who also runs the 400, has a best time of 1:55.36 in the 800, not counting two 1:54s in relay competition.

His victories against the Colts were cru­ cial. “H e ’s a workhorse,” said Torchia. “I ’ve never seen a greater desire ;o win in anyone.” Another senior, field event competitor R ich Stoner, was especially effective against C BA . “He came through in the clutch according to Torchia. “He stepped up to the plate and hit a home run." Stoner won the javelin. Ins most pro­ ficient event (in which his personal best is 158 feet), while taking second in the dis­ cus and third in the shot put — topping his previous best in that event by five feet with a 44-10 toss. The third kingpin for South is junior B ill Kwasnicki, who specializes in the 3,200, in which he has a best time o f 10:09. Kw asnicki’s second place in the two-mile was a key factor in pushing the Eagles past the Colts. “He’s a young kid, just coming into his own,” Torchia observed of Kwasnicki. “He’s making a move now.” Torchia, who is assisted by K e vin Painchaud and Paul Oster, followed up the C B A match by leading his club into the Holmdel Relays. Well, part of his club, at least: a num­ ber of his tracksters were sleeping off the previous n igh t’s ju n io r prom, and M cGow an was resting a mildly injured ankle, accounting for a subpar showing. “But this week, we have a big dual meet against Manal.apan and we’ll be ready for that one,” Torchia said.

s u r p r i s e BY RICHARD JEROME

S ta ff W r it e r arty Kenney’s C h ristian Brothers Academ y baseball team is a junior-dom inated squad, one that has burst from impressively, with a 6-i record. “We have only a few starters back,” Kenney said. “But quite a few kids are returning who saw limited time last year.” The Colts coach isn’t surprised at what he’s seen thus far. “We thought we could play at this level,” Kenney said. “Our pitching and defense has been a strength, and the hit­ ting is a little better than I ’d expected.” The top hurler, and perhaps best allaround player, is senior southpaw A.J. Aconomou, who is 2-0 after pitching to a 5-2 mark last spring. “He’s basically a fastball-curveballchangeup pitcher with an outstanding pick-off move,” according to Kenney. Aconomou, who plays first base when not pitching, hits third in the order. Last season he rapped out a .334 average, which he’s pushed to well over .400 in 1996. Junior righty Mark Russo (2-0), who doubles as the C B A shortstop, is batting .285. The third starter so far is junior Josh Carty (1-0), a hard thrower with a devel­ oping curve who was 2-1 in ’95. “We will also have junior lefty Matt Therien, who has transferred from Lacey,” Kenney said. “He’s not eligible yet, but I expect him to be one of our main pitchers, and to bat somewhere in the middle of the lineup.” Last, but perhaps not least, of the mound corps is junior lefty Todd Powell, who came up from the junior varsity and hurled a no-hitter, against La Salle of New York, in his first start with the big club. “He has a nice cut fa s tb a ll,” Kenney observed of Powell, who had 13 strikeouts in his masterpiece. “He’s had some con­ trol problems, but I think he’s getting his

Freehold’s Ralph Darienzo picked up his first feature win of the season at Wall Stadium last Saturday night, capturing the 25-lap Pro Stock main event. Defending division champion B ill Cole of Lakewood provided the challenge to Darienzo throughout the feature but the Freehold driver proved too strong, with­ standing the pressure to pick up the checkered flag. John Therkildsen of Matawan and Jim W illis of Little Silver were third and fourth. Matawan’s John M cCorm ack edged defending champion Paul Burdge of Free­ hold to win the 20-lap Street Stock fea­ ture. It was McCormack’s first-ever fea­ ture win at Wall Stadium. Joe Mongeau of Lakewood was third and Ray Rovira of East Brunswick was fourth. Russ Cook of Farmingdale was seventh and Mark Schullstrom of Colts Neck, eighth. The night belonged to W a ll’s M ike Carr, however, as he became the youngest driver to ever win a Modified feature at

confidence back.” Going around the horn, junior catcher Kevin Donohue is a skilled receiver with a strong arm who is hitting .310. Brian M cKenna, also a junior, will back up Aconom ou and Therien at first, while junior the gateRay Diaz, a converted first sacker, holds down second, and has hit .323 thus far. The other infielders also arc 11thgraders. Joe Pecorino backs up Russo at short, and should see lime at second base, as well. “H e ’ll start every game somewhere,” Kenney said of Pecorino, who is batting .364. The third baseman, Chris Caram, also doubles as a pitcher. The Colts, befitting their nickname, have considerable speed in the outfield. Center fielder V ic Alfonso, a senior is a base-stealing leadoff man who also has a fine glove. He batted .284 last spring and is over .300 this season. Over in left is another .300-plus hitter and solid fielder, junior Adam Harm. The rightfielder, senior Steve Aprilante, didn’t see many innings last year, but is currently wielding a .44 0 bat. “H e ’s been a pleasant surprise,” Kenney noted. A s for the rest of the outfielders, junior Tony Sgammato is a speedy sub with a good glove and Marc Zarro sees a lot of time at designated hitter. Perhaps the Colts’ top power hitter, he’s batting .356 with eight runs batted in. Assisting Kenney this year are Andy Hoyt and Pat McGann. C B A played Howell on Monday and was slated to face Middletown North on Tuesday and Manalapan on Wednesday. Saturday the C o lts are slated to face Marlboro in a Monmouth County Tour­ nament match-up. “The conference championship is one important goal,” Kenney said. “But we also feel we can compete in the counties and the states.”

the Shore speedway. The 18-year-old Carr won the race in style, leading from start to finish in the 30-lap race. A t the finish, he had F re e h o ld ’s E d d ie Boh n on his bumper. Bohn, who won opening night, was looking to become the first driver to win two features in 1996. B u l youth was served instead. Carr, though, wasn’t the only Modified winner last Saturday night. Veteran Jerry Cranmer ran off with the victory laurels in the completion of the April 13 featured that was stopped because o f rain. Cranmer took the lead when the race was restarted on the 13lh lap and never looked back. D a ve M ic h e l of Manahawkin got up for second and Mike Caipenter of Rumson, was third. M ike Tideback was a double winner taking both of the Three-Quarter Midget 25-lap headliners. Racing continues at Wall Stadium this Saturday with all three stock car divisions in action joined by the Truck series. Racing will start at 7 p.m.
