ABERDEEN — The car broke down, ) S haron K ing w alk ed fo u r m iles to hool last Wednesday — just to hand in i assignment on time. King is a busy woman these days. Be des holding a full-time job, the 39-yeard Matawan resident is the mother of five id grandmother of one. And. today, she ill graduate high school. T he M a ta w a n -A b e rd e e n R e g io n a l dult High School class of 1993, which aduates today, is the smallest class the hool has had in a long time. T he M a ta w a n -A b e rd e e n R e g io n a l :hool D istrict’s budget, rejected again id again by voters, has tightened over ie years. As a result, the adult school has ;come more and more compact. Today, the school is open two nights a eek. Last year, it was open three nights, lany would-be students, who also work ill time, cannot fit the school’s schedule ito th e ir o w n , a c c o rd in g to M ary issane, a full-time English teacher at the :hool. Last year, 68 students graduated the dult high school. T his year, there are nly 40. The average annual num ber of raduates since the school began in 1981, ; 60 students. Much has changed in the 12 years the chool has o p e ra te d . S tu d e n ts in the :hool were required to receive 105 cred:s to graduate in the first year o f opration. Today, 120 credits are needed to raduate. There have been other changes s well, according to Kissane. “ Back then, there was no state profiiency te st,” K issane said. “ Now, they ave to pass that test.” But whatever the budget or enrollment, o one can convince the students that the chool that gave them a second chance oes not serve an important purpose. “ I think this program is fa n ta s tic ,” wing said.

graduate high school, and he is planning to atten d the A m erican U n iv ersity of Madrid next year. And then there is Katrina Kent, 20, of M atawan, who hopes to be a registered nurse. A few years ago, she dropped out of high school. She said she left school because she was too impatient to start real life and hold down a job. Som e, like K ing, were rebellious in their youth and gave up on school. Others, like Fernandez, enjoy school but are just a few credits away from earning a diploma. Finally, th ere a re teen-agers who did not fare well in the regular, faster-paced, classroom atm osphere and use the adult high school as an alternative. At the adult high school, the youngest student is 16; the oldest one is 81. T he a tm o sp h e re at the a d u lt high school is dram atically different than the regular high school. For one thing, there is no classroom. And instead of desks, there are tables placed throughout a m odern, library-type setting. The building, too, is separate from the M atawan Regional High School on A t lantic Avenue. It is located instead in the district adm inistration building on Crest Way, tucked inside the quiet Strathmore development. Instead of facing a teacher and black b oard, the stu d en ts here are scattered about, mostly sitting by themselves, and getting individual attention. During a re p o rte r’s visit last w eek, the room was filled, but the atmosphere was exception ally quiet. Students say the atm osphere is con ducive to learning. “ R egular high school just didn’t work out for me,” explained Greg Burke, 18, of Holmdel, who eventually hopes to attend New York University. “I had a lot of per sonal problems and I wouldn’t have been able to graduate.” “They focused all their attention on the special education kids and those in the honors c la sse s,” G reg said o f Holm del High School. “But everyone else — or my crowd — they’ve been trying to get rid of all o f us. T hat’s why so many of us have left. In my crow d, four left school this year.” “I’m learning more here than I would have over there,” he said. “Here, you’re at your own pace and it really helps a lot.” Pat N athaniel, 33, o f M atawan, said she never would be able to change careers and b ecom e a nu rse w ithout her high

Also, Mary Ryan, Adult High School coordinator, Most recently, a consultant suggested slicing the adult chool portion of the district’s budget after voters rejected feels that the “fam ily atm osphere” o f the adult high school would be lost if it were incorporated into the coun he spending plan. The consultant recommended turning the adult high ty-wide district. “The academic portion of the high school is better chool over to the Monmouth County Vocational School h andled in our own d is tric t,” she said. “ I ’m totally district.

I’ve learned the value of an education,” she said. “The majority of my life, I was in waitressing and in cater ing to support my family.” “The only thing you lack here is the social developm ent o f high school, but education-wise you learn a lot from this program,” she said. At the adult high school, King, who said she was always strong on numbers but very weak in English skills, surprised h erse lf by becom ing a strong creative writer.

Today, there are more than 425 students enrolled in th e p ro g ra m , w h ich h as e x p a n d e d to F re e h o ld , Middletown and Keansburg, McAndrew said. However, besides academ ics, students learn the trade of their choice such as auto mechanics, carpentry, elec tronics, plumbing, food service, building m aintenance, dental assistant, and more. “There is a whole host o f occupational program s,” McAndrew said. “And there is no difference in the equiv alency of academics.” The adult vocational high school is fully funded by the state and is open four nights a week . “We would consider (taking over Matawan),” he said. “It makes very little difference to me.” There are self-contained adult high schools run by local districts in Asbury Park, Freehold and Union Beach, McAndrew said. — L a u ren J a e g e r V *•#

MIDDLETOWN — Last week, in the wake of the tragic May 26 bus accident which claim ed the lives o f three young sailors, the U.S. Navy honored two of its own for their heroic rescue efforts. The tw o sailors, one a passenger on the bus and the other, who responded from the pier, received m edals in ship board ceremonies June 2. Seaman recruit Michael Manuel, 19, of W a rre n , O h io , w as a w a rd e d th e Navy/Marine Corps Life Saving Medal. A passen g er on the bus, he was credited with saving several lives. The award, for acts of heroism not in volving actual conflict, was presented by Rear Adm. William E. Terry. M anuel is stationed aboard the USS Detroit, a fast com bat support ship and one o f fo u r ships w hose hom e port is Naval Weapons Station Earle’s Leonardo facility. P e tty O ffic e r 1st C lass V erlin W. Allen, 36, of Laona, W is., received the Navy C om m endation M edal for saving the life of a shipmate with complete disre gard for his own safety. A g u n n e r ’s m ate a b o a rd th e U SS Suribachi, an ammunition ship, Allen was not a passenger on the bus, but responded to calls of assistance form the pier. A three-m em ber Naval Board o f In vestigation convened last week to deter mine the cause of the accident. The Naval Criminal Investigation Ser vice, the National Transportation Safety Board and the New Jersey State Police are also involved in the investigation. The M onmouth County Prosecutor’s O ffic e and M id d le to w n P o lic e Department are assisting with reconstruc tion o f the accid en t, acco rd in g to the Navy. The shuttle, owned and operated by Pat K e e le n ’s, M iddletow n, was taking nine passengers back to their ships when the bus careened off the pier about 4:30 a.m. The d riv e r was rescued, but his name has been withheld. As the bus filled with water, Manuel helped other passengers escape through front broken windows and broke several others to aid in the escape. The bus landed right side up in about 12 feet of water. U sing only a th ree-q u arter-in ch air pocket at the top o f the bus for survival, according to his citation, he also tried to push out and then kicked out vents in the roof to provide an escape. He fractured his hand trying to push the vents out. W ith th e v en ts out, he w as able to push the rem ainder o f the passengers to the top of the bus where they could stand with their heads above water. He pulled one individual floating in the water to safety. After realizing a ship mate was missing, he also attempted, but failed, to re-enter the bus to rescue him. Allen, responding to calls for help, got a ladder over the side of the pier and then clim bed down it into the water to assist five. He then supported an injured sailor, bracing him self betw een a barnacle-en crusted pylon and pier support for over 30 m inutes until a sm all boat reached the scene.

mer and tuck it in my hat," she said about her hair. “It’s not a big deal. It’s part of the discipline.” Danielle understands that the next four years at West Point, where she will major in engineering, will be a dramatic change for her. In Keyport, Danielle gets a lot of at te n tio n . A w eek ago, she w as elected Prom Q ueen by her p e ers. She ran k s fourth in her class and is president of the Keyport High School chapter of the Na tional Honor Society. A n y o n e w ho fo llo w s sp o rts in the Bayshore area is aware of Danielle’s ath letic ability. She’s been a key member of three of her school’s sports teams.

A student awards ceremony was held last night, at which seniors received scholarships and awards. A senior breakfast will be held at 9:35 a.m. on Wednesday, June 23, in the school cafeteria.

On M onday, June 7, a senior assembly was held where senior superlative awards were presented and the cla ss’s “last will and testament” was read. S t. Jo h n V ia n n e y H igh S c h o o l, Holmdel, will hold graduation at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 12, at the school foot ball field. G ra d u a tio n at C h ris tia n B ro th e rs A cadem y, L incroft, took place at 6:30 p .m . on T h u rsd a y , M ay 27, at St. Catharine’s Church ia Holmdel.
b all te a m ’s c a tc h e r and in the fa ll, Danielle ran cross country. “ I like aerobics, lifting weights, and I like to water ski,” she said. “I also speed skate. I do other things, too, like sew, but most of my stuff is athletics.” H er a b ilitie s w ere n o ticed by Rep. Frank P allone, who nom inated her for Weist Point. Her father, Larry, said that he learned soon enough what kind of girl his daugh ter would turn out to be. “She got interested in basketball when she w asn’t even tall enough to bounce the ball,” he said. “Danielle is self-m otivated,” said her mother, Taffy. “I’ll be turning in at 10:30 at night and she’ll be doing 100 sit-ups. She’s an achiever.” Although West Point requires confor mity from its cadets, Danielle will stand out. She’s a woman, and women account for only 10 percent o f the acad em y ’s pop ulation. M r. N otarcola was told by West Point authorities what his daughter would be in for at the school. “They break them all down to noth ing,” he said. “They want them to know that they’re on the bottom of the barrel, and then they build them up.” “T h irty p ercen t d o n ’t m ake it,” he added. “They said, she’s definitely going to be crying home, but to keep encourag ing her.” In any case. Danielle said she chose to attend West Point because of its outstand ing reputation, not because it was a mili tary academy.
“I love the way they play,” she said. “It’s physical. I love physical stuff. I love adven tures. West Point will give me the opportuni ty to do things I wouldn’t normally do, like shoot guns. And after four years, I’m guaran teed a job in the field I study.” B arbara A ffeldt, assistant w om en’s coach for basketball at W est Point, said Danielle shares the fine character traits of all West Point students. “T hey a re very self-confident, m oti vated, focused and disciplined,” she said. “They know w hat’s im portant and they are thinking about the future. Also, they have an open mind.” D a n ie lle sp e n t a w eekend at W est Point, to find out whether it was a place she wanted to attend. “The dorms are all alike. Everything’s the same. Everything’s neat, and there’s no dust. The hangers in the closet have to be the same space apart, and the sheets are tucked in perfectly,” she said. Even the clo th in g at W est P oint is strictly uniform. Besides the clothes she’s wearing, Danielle is bringing only under w ear to the academ y w hen she arrives there on June 27. The rest of the clothing will be supplied by the academy. “A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal or tol erate those who do,” Mrs. Notarcola said. “They have to live up to this honor code. It’s something that nourishes the quality at West Point. It’s a quality which is rare in this world.” “It’s a good future,” Danielle said. “It will be a difficult world, but they’re trying to make you a leader and a better person. But it’s fo u r years. I t’s not th at m uch when you think about it.”

Last week, Lois Barrett did what she had to do. “It was 8 p.m. and I hated to interfere, but he was trying to get out for over 24 hours and I couldn’t stand it anym ore,” said Barrett, director of the Maple Place Preschool. Because o f Barrett’s interven tion, the baby chicken was bom alive and healthy. The other chicks — two more black ones and one yellow one — hatched all by themselves, she said. The first one was bom on Memorial Day. The chicks are happily beginning their lives in the safe confines of a heated box which has been set in the hallway of the nursery school. During a visit on Thursday, the chil dren were too shy to speak to a reporter about their experience, but were excited and happy about the fluffy little chicks. T he a rriv al o f the chicks was a mira cle of sorts. It was one of the few success ful attem p ts fo r the M aple Place p re sc h o o l w h ich has attem p ted to hatch chicken eggs by using an incubator for the last 24 years. O nly three tim es in that period was the experiment a success. “It’s very, very tricky,” Barrett explained. “It’s great if the children can see them hatch, but even if they d o n ’t, the effort is not wasted.” • Through a large, pictorial chart, the three- and four-year-old children learn how a baby chicken is formed inside the egg during its 27-day development, Bar rett said. Larger-than-life drawings illus trate the chick in every stage of develop ment. It begins as a small dot, gains eyes, turns into a fetal-like creature and then finally, sprouts wings and fills up the egg. “On the fifth day, I say, ‘Look-it’s got an eye’,” Barrett said. “I ask the children, ‘Do you want me to crack open the egg and show it to you?’ and the children say, ‘D on’t! Y ou’ll kill our baby chick.’ ” A t th e en d o f 21 days, the children learn that they were formed in 270 days inside their m other’s womb. The children find out that their m other’s egg is inside her tummy and not like a chicken’s, be cause moms are too busy during the day to sit on a nest. “Chickens don’t have to make beds,” Barrett explained. Last year, the experim ent was fairly successful; one chick resulted out of a few e g g s. T o d a y , th e g ro w n -u p c h ic k e n , Samantha, lays one egg a day, and lives w ith th e H a ith c o c k fa m ily o f U nion Beach. Samantha is domesticated, Barrett said, because she was held so often during her youth. This year, there are no plans for these chicks, but they may end up on a farm. There happens to be a little secret about this year’s success, however, which the director shared. You see, Barrett had the real incubator at home, safely in her house. An identical, in c u b a to r, also fille d w ith eg g s, w as p la c e d in the h allw ay s o f the school. W hen the chicks began to hatch in her home, Barrett placed them in the “impos tor” incubator. In the past, she explained, the 200 or so children who attend the school, overcome with enthusiasm, tend ed to shake the hallway incubator, which m ay h av e p re v e n te d the ch ic k s from hatching.- ' , ■

M IDD LETO W N — C om pton’s C reek is a port of dreams for many people, including fishermen, developers and even county officials. W hile the fisherm en dream o f a bustling port, the developers dream of an upscale seaside village and the cou n ty o ffic ia ls dream o f a busy w aterb o rne tra n s portation center — all joined by a new roadw ay and bridge network. The centerpiece of the area is the commercial fishing port, where the Belford Seafood Co-op is struggling to preserve its long tradition, and the independent Shoal Harbor Lobster Company has expanded into the new livefish market. T o th e w est is th e site o f the planned Spy House Harbor development, a 30-acre commercial and residen tial seaside village and approximately 700-slip marina. To the east, across the channel, is the location of the planned M onmouth County ferry terminal and a major activity stop along the Bayshore Trail System. At this stage, the terminal is being called the Bayshore Ferry at Port Monmouth. These three elements, existing and planned, are linked and will rely heavily on a series of county roadway and bridge improvements to make the area more accessible. “ I think it is going to happen,” Planning D irector Anthony M ercantante said last week about this m ajor bayfront revitalization — part of what long has been tout ed as “the Bayshore Renaissance.” H ow ever, M ercan tan te said, it is unfortunate that it takes so long to get the necessary permits to put every thing in place. County engineer Theodore A. Ginnechini said that the road and bridge project will cost in excess of $8 million. “It is the county’s biggest current project and is going to make a major difference,” said Ginnechini. The county road and bridge project includes: — two new bridges, one joining Port Monmouth Road across Pew s C reek and the oth er connecting C hurch

Im provem ents to the eastern end o f Port Monmouth R oad w ould be the re sp o n sib ility o f the Spy H ouse Harbor development, Ginnechini explained. The Pews Creek Bridge has been out since the early 1970s, and the Church Street bridge — an old tim ber bridge leading to the northern gravel portion of Church Street — v. as closed about three months ago. The project includes raising the elevation of the road ways about two feet, from seven to nine feet, according to the county engineer, and building wetlands to replace any wetlands destroyed by the project. The design work is essentially complete, Ginnechini said. All that remains are assorted state and federal per mits. Once those are approved, the county will formalize

T h e se fis h e rm e n d o n ’t b e lie v e in hooks. They trap their fish and market them liv e to an e x p a n d in g Ja p a n e se and Chinese restaurant market in New York and New Jersey. “I t’s something new,” at least in this area, explained Jack Baker, co-owner of Shoal Harbor Lobster Co., an independent commercial fishing operation adjacent to the Belford Seafood Co-op at the mouth of Compton’s Creek in Middletown. It’s also a growing market, he said. The longtime lobster fisherman, a resi dent of Staten Island, and his partner, Bob Best of Belford, expanded their business last year because o f concerns about in creasing government restrictions on fish ermen. “ Y ou’ve got to find something else to do,” said Best, saying the government reg ulations are “putting everybody out o f business.” As an exam ple, he said, the govern ment has increased its minimum-size law for lobsters and even changed regulations regarding net sizes. Catching live fish is similar to trapping lobster, the partners explained. They use

fish traps similar to lobster pots, dropping them in select locations and then leaving them for three or four nights. Back at their attractive building, where they sell fish both wholesale and retail, they keep the fish in enormous, open salt water tanks. During a recent visit, one of the tanks was filled with sw im m ing blackfish, a friendly fish, according to Best, which tastes mild, like grouper. T he w ater is kept a t a certain temper ature; in the case of blackfish, 40 degrees. Because of the quick turnover, they don’t have to feed them. The previous day, they sold between 800 and 1,000 pounds, said Baker. They also market sea bass, porgies and other fish in the same manner. There’s also an enormous, tiered lob ster tank. The company was part of a recent Jer sey Shore seafood and aquaculture promo tional tour sponsored by the state Depart ment of Agriculture. The May 27 tour, to promote state fish eries, included a clam-depuration program and a new plant in Highlands. * * ' ------—Ma'rilyh Duff

OMiddletown Mayor Anthony Musella took action Monday to shut down an artifical-reef manu facturing operation at the site of the planned Spy House Harbor D evelopm ent n ear C o m p to n ’s Creek. “They should not be operating without the necessary perm its," he said.
A cco rd in g to M ercantante, the property owners previously re c e iv e d P la n n in g B o ard approval for another temporary use, also related to artificial7reef building, but that operation never got under way. T hat approval does not authorize this operation, he said. Creter said his company has a one-year lease to use a portion of the site for the artificial reefs.
The mayor directed the con duction official, Frank Verange, to issue a summons and do what ever was necessary to stop the operatio n until the o w n ers go before the Planning Board and file the proper application. W hen photographs o f giant, concrete reefs began appearing recently in new spapers and on television, Middletown officials were surprised. ■ No one had told them about a p ro je c t to m a n u fa c tu re the reefs. A nd, to w n sh ip o fficials said, no one had applied for per mits to operate the outdoor plant. For approxim ately a m onth and a h a lf. B re a k w a te rs International Inc., Flem ington, has been using the site without the necessary perm its to m anu facture artificial concrete reefs to be used in a pilot project partially financed by the state. The artificial reefs have been hailed by state o ffic ia ls as an innovative way to reduce beach erosion. Richard Creter, the company ow ner, is leasing the site from S e a p o rt A s s o c ia te s , th e M iddletown-based developm ent firm headed by Walter Mihm and Jack Westlake. Creter said last week that any necessary permits were the prop erty owner’s responsibility. N e ith e r o f th e d e v e lo p e rs
The reefs are m anufactured on a large concrete slab at the site of a former fish-proecessing plant, slated under Spy House H arbor plans to be part of the parking area.
Each of the molded concrete reefs is 10 feet wide and weighs approximately 21 tons. T h e com pany is completing modules for a 1,000-foot, inter lo c k in g a rtific ia l re e f to be in stalled 250 feet o ffsh o re in Avalon. By last week, approxi m ately 70 o f the m odules had been completed. The work crew is able to complete three modules a day, according to a worker at the site.

(P hoto b y Rich Schultz) could be reached last week to comment on the situation or on the planned development. Asked earlier about the mat ter, Verange said that the area is not zoned for manufacturing, and neither the property owners nor Creter applied for the necessary permits. P lanning D irector A nthony Mercantante, who learned of the operation only through new spa per articles, said that they need to apply to the Planning Board for site-plan approval and a tempo-
rary-use permit. B ecause the operation is in violation o f zoning ordinances, V era n g e has the a u th o rity to issue a stop-work order. The Planning Board approved plans on March 6, 1991, for Spy H ouse H arbor, a co m b in atio n re s id e n tia l-c o m m e rc ia l de v e lo p m e n t and m a rin a . M e rc a n ta n te said th a t the approval is good for three years, after which the developers can apply fo r up to tw o o n e -y e a r extensions.

The project includes 161 twoand three-bedroom tow nhouse units, a yacht club, restaurant and com m ercial-office center on a 3 0 -a c re site n o rth o f P ort M o n m o u th R o ad , b o rd e rin g Compton’s Creek. U nder the site plan, an addi tio n a l 35 acres so uth o f P ort Monmouth Road would remain wetlands. The site also includes a 160-acre riparian or underwater area extending into Raritan Bay, which would be used for a 700slip marina.

T he sta te E co n o m ic Development Authority is fund ing 50 percent of the New Jersey Pilot Reef Project. Creter planned to use the Port M onmouth site for construction of a 900-foot reef for Cape May and another 1,100-foot reef for Belmar and Spring Lake. The site would also be good, he said, for a planned pilot pro gram in New Y ork, w here he hopes to install a 4,000-foot reef. Beach-saver reefs, as they are called, have been tested success fu lly at S te v e n s In s titu te o f T e c h n o lo g y , H o b o k e n , as a means of reducing beach erosion.

bridge abutments. Henry Nicholson, the county’s assis tant transportation director and project manager, is excited about the plans for the Bayshore Ferry at Port Monmouth. Like the c o u n ty ’s en gineering arm , Nicholson is in the midst of waiting for permits. Plans for the ferry terminal are much more long-range and involve considerable site preparation. N icholson hopes to have perm its by fall to begin constructing a bulkhead at the east side of the channel. He hopes to see the ferry service start up in about two years, by the spring of 1995, he said last week. The county owns 268 acres east of the creek, purchased with funding from the Port Authority of New York and New Jer sey. About 80 acres will be used for the ter minal and adjacent water-dependent activ ities.
N icholson said that ev en tu ally , the county hopes to provide ferry service to 1,200 custom ers a day, not just to New York, but also to Jersey City and Staten Island. “ W e’re very excited about the pro ject,” he said. The county started the ap plication process last summer. The most important aspect of the ferry service, said Nicholson, is to get cars off the road; in others words, to encourage people to leave their cars at hom e and commute to work via the Bayshore ferry. Also, Nicholson said, the project will enable the Belford Seafood Co-op to ex pand by using the east bank of the creek. In conjunction with all of these plans, the Army C orps of E ngineers plans to dredge and widen the channel, which cur rently ranges from 130 to 170 feet, to 200 feet. D redging will probably begin in the fall o f 1994, said Nicholson, and will not affect the county’s schedule to construct the bulkhead at the east bank.

V incent M cCue was surprised when students invented a county, and named it in his honor. M iddle R oad School students have been studying the state and used the 21 counties as their field-day theme, with the extra county thrown in as a surprise for their departing principal.

GRAND O P E N I N G !
The poster board depicting the fiction al M cCue County even had a M cC ue’s Dairy — a tribute to the Hazlet principal’s Long Branch roots. It was one o f several surprises stu dents, staff members and parents had in store for McCue at the annual end-of-theyear field day at M iddle Road School, Hazlet. M cCue, who has been transferred to Union Avenue Middle School, and at age 64, is also considering retirem ent, even got a framed letter from the governor con gratulating him on his 36 years as an edu cator. Also, a senate resolution honoring him was personally delivered by state Sen. Joseph Kyrillos Jr., R-Middletown. McCue said he never planned to be come a teacher and never wanted to be a principal. M cC ue grew up in L ong B ran c h , where he still lives. The 10th of 11 chil dren, he now has his own large family, seven children and eight grandchildren. Following high school, he attended St. Charles Seminary, Philadelphia, and what was then Monmouth Junior College, West Long Branch. He then entered the Navy in 1951. It was a matter of joining the Navy or risk being drafted into the Army, he said. He and 25 to 30 others left college and signed up the same day. A fter his discharge, McCue worked in the insurance business, but eventually, with a grow ing fam ily, decided he was not making enough money.
A F u ll Service S a lo n For The W hole F a m ily
So, armed with an associate degree an e m erg en cy te a c h in g c e rtific a te — teachers were in demand at the time — he and a lifelong friend, Jim Robbins began their teaching careers at the old Florence Avenue School in Union Beach. Later, Robbins also taught in Hazlet. The area was growing fast, following the c o n stru c tio n o f the G ard en S tate Parkway, and the old Union Beach school was on split session. McCue and the other new teachers got the least desirable, noon-to-4 p.m. shift. Their inexperience made things tough for the emergency teachers, according to McCue, but they supported each other and learned the hard way. He said he took the advice of the prin cipal at the time: “ ‘You are the boss in your classroom ; if y o u ’re not, someone else will be.’ ” McCue remained there for six years, the latter two as a teaching assistant prin cipal. Over the next five years, he worked at three d ifferen t schools, T horne and Thompson junior high schools in Middle town and Cove Road School in Hazlet. During that period he learned he did not like teaching at the junior-high level. The problem with junior highs, he said, is the students are only one-seventh yours, since they have a different teacher for al-
most every subject. “ I like to w ork on values and a tti tudes,” something you can’t do with so lit tle contact, said McCue. While teaching, McCue continued his education. He acquired a masters degree and additional credits at Seton Hall Uni versity. In the late 1960s, he became assistant principal at Hazlet’s Beers Street School, at the time a K-8 neighborhood facility. He rem ained there for 16 years until it was changed to a middle school in 1983. A fte r 16 y e a rs it w as d if f ic u lt to change schools, but he adjusted quickly to Middle Road School. He first served as assistant principal •there and at a second elementary School and then became principal. “ I ’m not an office p erso n ,” M cCue said in explanation of why he never really wanted to become a principal. McCue believes strongly in discipline. Educators today are neglecting account ability, he said, while focusing more on students’ self-esteem. During his Navy years aboard the air craft carrier Franklin Delano Roosevelt, McCue’s captain instilled in him the phi losophy: “ ‘If you do the best you can, your best is usually good enough.’ ” Based on its recent show of affection for him, his Middle Road School family apparently feels Principal McCue did just that.

M IDDLETOW N — Fifth-graders in Kathy Colmorgen’s class learned a bit of history recently and observed M emorial Day a few days early. The students, from Middletown Village School, visited the cemetery at Old First Church on Kings Highway May 28. They placed an American flag on the grave of Joseph Murray, a farmer and sol dier during the American Revolutionary War, according to Colmorgen. Students also read poetry near Murray’s grave and placed flags at the graves of his descendants. The visit ties in with the fifthgrade history curriculum on the Revolu tionary War and Middletown’s role in it. The students also learned about Murray through the fifth-grade science curriculum when, during the winter, they visited Poricy Park and saw M urray’s house and farm house, Colmorgen said. Information from the Poricy Park Citi zens Committee illustrates the life of the local patriot. A bout 1767 M u rra y , a young immi grant from L ondonderry, Ireland, p u r chased a farm in Middletown. The farm he bought is now Poricy Park. He married an American-born woman, Rebecca Morris, and set about farming his land and raising a family. As opposition to British colonial poli cies grew, Murray enlisted as a private in the First R egim ent, M onm outh County Militia. The residents of Middletown were bitterly divided, the m ajority at first re maining loyal to the crown. The loyalists regarded those who favored the cause of independence as rebels and traitors. M urray w as c a p tu re d in a raid by British soldiers in 1779 when his house was attacked and looted, and personal property destroyed. He was transferred to prisoner-of-war facilities in New York. It is not known how' he escaped from prison, but in January 1780 Murray returned to Middletown and rejoined his unit. After taking part in a reconnaissance m ission at the B ayshore June 7, 1780, Murray was shot in the back the next day while tending his farm. Though wounded, he furiously fought his three attackers until stabbed repeatedly and shot again. His wife, Rebecca, and four young chil dren survived to carry on the family name.

By Judy O’Gorman Alvarez Correspondent__________________ The Hispanic Alliance Team is trying to get a message about alcohol and drug abuse into the area Hispanic community. The team, called HALLT, is a countyfunded jo in t p ro ject by the New H ope Foundation Outpatient Services, Freehold, and the National Council on Alcohol and Drug Dependence of Monmouth County. “Alcoholism is two to three times more prevalent among Hispanics than non-Hispanics, and Hispanic elderly are twice as likely to die of cirrhosis than non-Hispanics,” said Mary Pat Angelini, HALLT co director. “Even though we have a lot of literature in Spanish out there, they’re not coming in for treatment.”

A ngelini, who is director o f the N a tional Council on A lcoholism and Drug Dependence o f M onmouth County, said the H ALLT team has learned that drug and alcohol abuse runs in trends especially among cultures, and “Hispanic” covers a lot of different groups. So, the team is working to understand m ore clearly what the Hispanic com m u nity needs before developing and deliver ing programs or information. “The term Hispanic encompasses more than 20 different countries and cultures,” said Iris Gonzalez, executive director of H ispanic A ffairs and R esource C enter, Asbury Park, who is advising the HALLT project. “ You ca n ’t have a scholar who speaks

perfect Castillian Spanish translate infor m ation using a high level o f S panish,” Gonzales said. “It will lose its effect and not reach the people it needs to reach the most. W hatever literature is designed and created needs to be culturally sensitive.” “Alcohol abuse manifests itself differ e n tly in d iffe re n t g ro u p s ,” sa id T ony Comerford, director o f New Hope Foun dation’s Outpatient Services and HALLT co-director. “W e’re trying not to bring in any predisposed ideas about alcohol and drugs.” R e ach in g th e H isp an ic co m m u n ity means overcoming particular roadblocks, including illiteracy and machismo, where because of a strong sense of m asculine pride, Hispanic men may refuse help. Comerford knows about the problems of literal translations. In a previous job, he helped m arket a cigarette advertised in Spanish to be “fresh and mild” throughout the Southwest. W hen the ad was marketed in New York City area, the same Spanish words translated into “all wet.” “ W ith H A LLT , a o n e-tim e p ro ject,

w e ’re tak in g a m a rk etin g approach to what will best serve the Hispanic commu nity,” Comerford said. “Focus groups are a m arketing technique used m ore often than surveys and will work at identifying community issues and values.” T he g ro u p s will be made up o f His panics in the community, including high school students, adults studying English as a Second Language, and professionals and community leaders. Through the groups, HALLT hopes to learn about perceptions of alcohol and drug problems. Focus group members will review ma terial now available in Spanish and offer their opinions and insights. Later this year, the groups will receive the revised presen tation to take back to their community. “W e want them to help us and we also want to educate them in the process,” said Angelini. “The hope is that the message will be better received if it com es from within the community.” Hispanics interested in serving on the focus groups can contact Angelini at 576 1800, or Comerford at 308-0113.

The Christian Brothers Academy base ball team won its first Shore Conference T ournam ent cham pionship and put the wraps on a 25-3 season with a 9-7 win over M anasquan at T om s R iver North High School on June 2. After spotting Manasquan (24-3) two runs in the top o f the fifth inning, the Colts came back in the bottom half of the frame. T hree M an asq u an e rro rs help ed to open the door for the C olts and senior centerfielder Brian M anning keyed the five-run outburst with a tw o-run bloop double to right field. CBA added four more runs in the sixth, the big blow com ing on a bases-loaded triple off the bat of junior pitcher Steve Skrocki. On the hill, Skrocki allowed only two hits and two runs over 6 1/3 innings. The junior lefthander was removed before the start of the seventh inning, only to have to return to get the final out when M ana squan rallied for five runs. Skrocki finished the year 7-1 through 60 1/3 innings pitched, with a 1.04 ERA. He struck out 53 hitters, w hile issuing only 13 walks. C BA co ach M a rty K enney said he was very happy with the C o lts’ tourna ment victory. “We had talked about it and said that was the one thing we w anted to do or ch ange from last y e a r,” he said. “ We didn’t want to just do well in the tourna ment. We wanted to win one. So it was a nice way to finish the year. “I feel great for the kids because I felt they worked hard during the course of the year and it was nice to see them get what I feel is a just reward. But this team was special for me - there’s no question about that. I mean win or lose - as far as that tournam ent - we had a good time. As a coach I had a good tim e and I think as players they enjoyed playing.” Looking back on a season in which his team also won the Shore Conference A North Division title, Kenney turns all the way back to the first game of the year as an indication of what the season would be all about. “ I th o u g h t one o f the m ost c ritic al gam es w as the very first g a m e ,” said Kenney. “We were struggling a bit against Howell and I could tell they were nervous. I was starting a number of juniors - they were talented but it was their first varsity game. “ W e w ere dow n tw o ru n s and we scored three in the seventh inning to go
ahead 6-5 and we held on for the win. I thought it was a critical game even though it was the first game of the year because it m ade the kids feel good being able to come back like they did and get a good win against a pretty good team. “ A fter th at I could see them settle down and get into a groove. They gained a lot of confidence and we put together a 14-game winning streak.” Shore Regional dealt the Colts their first loss of the season, 4-1, on May 8 in the first round of the Monmouth County T o u rn a m e n t. B ut C BA w as ab le to regroup and finish with an 11-2 run and the SCT title. The C o lts’ losses during that streak were to Ocean Township, 5-3, and to Holy C ross o f D elran, 4-0, in a South Jersey Parochial A state tournament game. • Kenney said a team effort m ade the Colts’ campaign the success it was. “Offensively, every hitter in the lineup hit well over .300 so we really didn’t have to look to one person to carry us,” said Kenney. “It was the same thing with the p itch in g . W e spread out the w ins and d id n ’t have to rely on ju st one or two arms. “ I thought the defense was solid all year and we had some great team speed. We really d id n ’t have a w eakness as a team.” In addition to Skrocki’s 7-1 record on the hill, Dave Lardieri sported a 6-0 mark (1.40 ERA, 40 2/3 IP), Ken Shaw was 4-0 (1.91 ERA, 22 IP), Joe Martin finished up 3-0 (1.67 ERA, 21 IP), Andy Kinsella was 4-2 (1.53 ERA, 32 IP) and Manning fin ished 1-0 (3.18 ERA, 11 IP).

T he D eS im one fam ily o f A berdeen Township didn’t win New Jersey’s Pick-6 Lotto drawing on Thursday, but they cer tainly hit their own version of the jackpot. Within the last week, Ray DeSimone, a sen io r at Long Island U n iv ersity , was selected by the Texas Rangers in the 40th round o f M ajor League B aseball’s am a teur draft. His sister, Marisa, a senior at Matawan R e g io n a l H igh School, earned a s c h o la rs h ip to play ten n is and so ftb a ll and M onm outh C ol lege, West Long Branch. “ I ’ve w aited a long tim e for th is o n e ,” Ray said. “ I t’s been four years since I left high school and I ’ve been p assed up in three drafts. This w as m y la st chance and I ’m ju s t g la d I ’m M a r is a D e S im o n e fin a lly g e ttin g the chance. “The last couple of years I put up some good num bers but I knew deep in my heart I wasn’t ready and it showed that in the (previous) drafts. The scouts are very knowledgeable about what they do and I think this was the first year I was ready to go, even though I w ould have liked to have gone earlier. But this is just great.” D e S im o n e w as n am e d th e 1993 Northeast Conference Player of the Year, hitting .375 with 10 doubles, 10 triples and one home run as the leadoff hitter for the Blackbirds. The 6-1, 190-pound short stop led the conference with 51 base hits and with his 10 triples. A fte r g ra d u a tin g fro m M ataw an

Regional High School in 1989, DeSimone starred at Brookdale Community College in Lincroft and was selected as the 1991 P la y e r o f th e Y ea r in Ju n io r C o lleg e Region XIX. DeSimone said he expects to sign his professional contract with Rangers’ scout O m ar M in a y a to d a y . H e ’ll le a v e on Thursday and report to Erie, Pa., o f the Class A New York-Penn League. M a r is a , m e a n w h ile , a lso rec eiv e d good news, gaining a full athletic scholar ship to Monmouth College. Monmouth College softball coach Pat A d o rn o had b een in te re s te d in the Huskies’ standout centerfielder for a long time but was unable to offer DeSimone a full scholarship. After Long Island University offered DeSimone a full scholarship, Monmouth came back and offered her an additional tennis scholarship to make up the differ ence. “I’m very happy,” Marisa said. “I wait ed for so long and I thought I was going to end up going to B rookdale. I had ju st about given up.” DeSim one, a 12-letter winner during her scholastic career, capped her softball career for the Huskies by hitting .535 with five doubles, five triples, three home runs and 25 RBI along with 15 stolen bases in 1993. She said it sh o u ld n ’t be a problem playing two sports in college. “I love tennis and it will keep me in shape,” she said. “I ’m probably still going to get to play a little bit of fall softball. I really like tennis so I don’t mind it at all and it shouldn’t create any problems (with schoolwork) because I ’d be playing soft ball in the fall anyway. I’ll be putting in the same amount of time either way.” Ray and M arisa said they were happy for the success each has enjoyed. “It’s just great for M arisa,” Ray said. “She’s put up some awesome numbers the last four years. She got All-Shore honors this year and she deserves everything she gets. M onm outh was a great choice for her - that’s where she wanted to go from the start and that’s where she’s going.” “It feels great,” said Marisa. “I don’t know how it’s happened but things are just going right for us so far. We both got what we were hoping for and we couldn’t be any happier.”

One has shown the ability to overcom e obstacles w hile the o ther has show n a knack for avoiding them. One is the leader of the team while the other is her successor. They are Kim Yale and Ann M arie Schw arz and they re p re se n t the past and fu tu re o f K ean College softball. It took a long time for Yale to get her m o m en t in th e su n . T he M id d le to w n North High School graduate stretched the anterior cruciate ligament in her knee and damaged some car tilage as a junior in high school. Y ale h ad s u r g ery d o n e on th e knee and was ready to play softball for Kean in 1990. Dur ing w in te r b re a k , just before softball se a so n , Y ale to re the ligam ent in the same knee and had to h av e su rg e ry Kim Yale again. She m issed the 1990 season and wound up on the side lines in 19 9 1 as well when she failed her physical. “ I figured my career was d efinitely over,” she said. “I was upset but I wanted to wait and talk to the doctor. He was very positive about my chances of playing and then I figured I would be back in a year. W hen I failed the second tim e I really th o u g h t it w as o v er b u t (head co ach ) R enee C lark e co n v in ced me to tak e a retest and I passed. I was shocked but extremely satisfied.” W hen Y ale rejoined the softball team in 1992 she found herself behind Donna Nocera, the incumbent first baseman. Biding her time as a pinch hitter and p art-tim e sta rte r, Y ale fin ally got h er break three-quarters o f the way through the ’92 season when Nocera went down with an elbow injury. Starting the final third o f the season, Yale wound up third on the team in hitting with a .396 average. She had 19 hits and 9 RBI. As im pressive as her hittin g w as, it paled in comparison to her fielding. Yale was third on the team with 89 putouts to go w ith seven assists and tw o d ouble plays. The C ougars’ first baseman com mitted just one error as she boasted a .990 fielding efficiency. Yale was a huge rea

She didn’t let anything get in the way of her determination to succeed. She had worked too hard to make it back to fail.” This season, there was no first base com petition. W ith eight starters having graduated from last y ea r’s squad, Yale found herself as the elder statesman and captain of the team. With those qualifications, she felt as if she was needed to become the leader. “I became a leader because I was the captain and 1 knew it was going to be my last y e a r,” Y ale said. “ I m ade m y self available for the younger players to talk to m e on and o ff the field . H o p e fu lly , I helped ease them into the college atmos phere.” O ne of the players Yale had an impact on was Schw arz. The freshm an at the Union Tow nship college, who is also a g ra d u a te o f M id d le to w n N o rth H igh School, had an outstanding inaugural sea- . son. Schwarz was third on the team with a .397 batting average, had 11 runs scored, 10 RBI and ended the cam paign with a six-game hitting streak. “ Kim was a really big influence on m e ,” S c h w a rz sa id . “ T he d iffe re n c e between high school and college was a lot tougher than I expected and she helped me get through it. She told me not to quit and was always there for me. She was a strong leader for the team.” Schw arz’s tim ing couldn’t have been better. W ith the entire starting outfield from the previous year graduated, she stepped right into the startng left field slot. “ I th o u g h t I w o u ld be a b ench warmer,” she said. “I was shocked when I found out I would be starting. I had a lot of people helping me adjust like Kim and (centerfielder) Terri Day. I was nervous but they relaxed me and just told me to do my best.” A fo u r-y ear starte r fo r M iddletow n N o rth in c e n te rfie ld and at c a tc h e r, Schw arz recorded 42 putouts and three assists this spring, and com m itted ju st three errors for a .938 fielding efficiency. “Ann Marie has the potential to be a great player in this league,” Clarke said. “She was outstanding as a freshman but could be even better over the next three seasons.” T h is a r t ic l e w a s w r it t e n b y th e K e a n C o lle g e S p o rts In fo r m a tio n D e p a rtm e n t.
