Bruce! Fans ditch work to get Springsteen concert tickets 

By MARY RUDLOFF 

Ocean City Sentinel 

ATLANTIC CITY - Bruce! Bruce! 

Bruce! Bruce! 

Unless you're totally out of touch with 

the local music scene, you won't even have 

to ask "Bruce who?" 

Frenzy over Bruce Springsteen's first 

local concert reached a fevered pitch 

Saturday morning, when more than 13,000 

concert tickets for his March 7 appearance 

went on sale ... and sold out less than 15 

minutes later. 

The long line of Bruce fans waiting for 

the ticket window to open far exceeded the 

tickets available for the one-night-only 

Fairness 

In Taxes: 

Take hard 

look at 

spending 

By CHRISTOPHER SOUTH 


OCEAN CITY - Community 

watchdog group, Fairness In 

Taxes, is recommending the city 

take another look at the Local 

Government Budget Review 

(LGBR) completed in October 

2000 and implement some of the 

recommendations - particularly 

in the area of health care. 

At the last meeting of Fairness 

In Taxes, held Jan. 10 in the 

Hedley Room of the Ocean City 

Public Library, members said 

the LGBR recommended many 

changes; however, they feel any 

changes made by the administration 

have been small and 

unannounced. 

Saying their primary focus, 

now, would be to address burgeoning 

health care costs borne 

by the city, Fairness In Taxes 

sent a letter, dated Nov. 6, 2002 

to Mayor Henry "Bud" Knight 

asking him to consider the 

LGBR recommendations in 

preparing the 2003 municipal 

budget. 

The recommendations in the 

LGBR for saving on health care 

costs include: 

*eliminating a provision found 

in bargaining unit contracts 

under which the city provides 

insurance to retired police officers 

who have not qualified for 

Medicare, potentially saving 

$50,000; 

ênforce a required 20-hourminimum 

work week for 

employees who receive benefits, 

potentially saving $40,050; 

*switching to the State Health 

Benefits Plan (SHBP), potentially 

saving $341,000; 

împlementing prescription 

plan changes ($35,900); and 

renegotiate the 50 percent copay 

by city employees for their 

dental plan ($77,300). 

The Nov. 6 letter was followed 

by a resolution, Dec. 6, in which 

Fairness In Taxes asked the 

mayor and City Council to

show, with the crowd estimated at approximately 

1,000 people. The first were 

reported to have been in line at least seven 

hours before the ticket window opened, 

but the line grew rapidly, from less than 50 

to a crowd stretching out to reach 

Tropicana casino several blocks away, 

from 8 a.m. on. 

Saturday morning was the culmination 

of two days of wristband distribution. The 

numbered wristbands did not ensure the 

chance to purchase tickets, but guaranteed 

a place in line when the ticket sales broke 

at 10 a.m. Saturday morning. 

Dreams of seeing "The Boss" were 

quickly shattered for most of the cooperative 

mob, however, when, at approximate- 

ly 9:15 a,m., 9-year old William Wright of 

Margate drew number 2080 from a fishbowl. 

The ticket line immediately started 

forming, in numerical order based on the 

wristbands, behind the lucky fan wearing 

that number bracelet. 

At the rate tickets would be sold, many 

bracelet wearers immediately bolted from 

the scene, heading for the nearest phone, 

computer or Ticketmaster outlet, knowing 

the tickets would be long gone before their 

bracelet number was ever reached. 

"Let's try Boscov's/' one Bruce fan said, 

bolting from line. "We'll never make it to 

the window before the tickets are gone 

here." . 

The fan was wearing a bracelet in the 

2600 range. Tickets sbld out shortly before 

number 2220 made the window. 

Boardwalk Hall officials said they were 

not surprised at how fast the tickets sold 

out. They said that, with an artist of 

Springsteen's stature, a quick sellout is 

expected. 

"We think the whole thing went very 

well. The wristband system worked. It is a 

way to ensure the most fair way for fans to 

get tickets," explained Boardwalk Hall's 

Director of Marketing Valerie McGonigal. 

"The crowd in line was great. We would 

like to ensure everyone has chance to pur

Economic outlook:

Ocean City 

Home Bank 

president says 

real estate may 

flatten, tourism 

should be good 



SOMERS POINT - Flat interest 

rates, a stable stock market and a 

leveling off of the local housing 

market were part of the economic 

predictions for 2003 made by 

Steven Brady, president of Ocean 

City Home Bank. 

The kaynote speaker at the Jan. 

14 luncheon meeting of tHe 

Greater Ocean City Chamber of 

Commerce, Brady has been giving 

an economic forecast every 

January for the past 12 years. 

"Interest rates will remain flat 

for the first six months," he said, 

"and will increase slightly in the 

second half of the year." 

Brady said the stock market 

will be stable, and while corporate 

earnings will increase, so 

will spending. 

"Businesses will spend money 

again," Brady said. 

Brady told the audience of 

chamber members there was a 

tremendous' amount of money 

spent on Y2K, and that spending 

follows a three-year cycle. 

Brady also predicted a slowdown 

on refinancing, while consumer 

spending would remain 

stable. "But that will be tested in 

2003," he added. 

Most significantly, Brady said 

the real estate market would flatten 

in 2003, because real estate 

prices were rising faster than 

income. Asked if that prediction 

would specifically apply to the 

Ocean City market, Brady said 

there would be different pockets 

that won't flatten, but there is an 

upper limit to what people can 

afford to pay for homes. Rising

interest rates would also contribute 

to a weakened real estate 

market. 

However, Brady said he 

expected there would be no real 

estate crash like in the late '80s 

and early '90s.

activity, such as the looming war 

with Iraq, the nuclear threat in

SOMERS POINT - Dr. Ira 

Trocki wants to renovate the Egg 

Harbor Yacht Club and Marina,

will elect the candidate 

to be named to the freeholder 

board. 

At least three potential 

appointees have shown interest 

in the seat - one from Ocean City 

and two from Lower Township. 

Ocean City, which had a representative 

on the board for more 

than a century, lost its representative 

in the year 2000 general 

election. Since then, some Ocean 

City Republicans have expressed 

strong feelings about returning 

an Ocean City man or woman to 

the freeholder board, primarily, 

because they believe their level 

Avenue residents in the vicinity 

of the Yacht Club, formerly 

Mayer's Inn, recently received 

letters stating Trocki had filed an 

application to make his marina 

more accessible to larger boats. 

The application, to the 

Department of Environmental 

Protection (DEP), was filed Dec. 

.31. Included in the application is 

dredging the marina. 

In July, the dredging of the 

marina was a hot topic for the 

of taxation deserves representation. 

Ocean City pays about 26 

percent of the county's taxes. 

At the same time, Lower 

Township lost its representative 

with the resignation of Matthews, 

and some Lower Township 

Republicans believe Lower 

Township, being the largest 

municipality in Cape May 

County, deserves a representative 

on the freeholder board. 

Lower Township Mayor Larry 

Starner said, in a joint statement 

issued by Republicans on Lower 

Township Council, he considered 

running for the seat himself for 

that reason. Starner, along with 

local city council when then- 

Recreation Commission member 

Dennis Tapp, how a councilman, 

said Trocki's offer to put the soil 

dredged directly onto the neighboring 

WJlliam Morrow beach 

was unacceptable. Council members 

also challenged the pumping 

of the untreated sand directly 

onto the city's small public 

beach. That offer by Trocki, 

which was supported by Mayor 

John DiMaria but opposed by the 

Councilwoman Diane Chesna and 

Councilman Mike Beck have put 

their support behind fellow 

Councilman Arthur "Stig" 

Blomkvest for the freeholder 

seat. 

However, another Lower 

Township.resident, Ralph Bakley 

Sr., has expressed interest in the 

available freeholder seat. Bakley 

has been a longtime member of 

the Lower Township Board of 

Education. 

Meanwhile, Ocean City 

Republicans have thrown their 

support behind Steve Gillian - 

according to Frank McCall, the 

GOP's municipal leader in Ocean 

City. McCall said Gillian emerged 

as their candidate back on Dec. 

20, but they held off making their 

choice public until Matthews' 

resignation was official. 

Blomkvest said members of the 

county Republican organization 

have been discussing the matter 

for "a couple of months." 

Any candidate for the position 

will have had to have filed a letter 

of intent with the Regular 

Republican Organization on or 

before yesterday, Jan. 15. The 

municipal committees will caucus 

and vote between Jan'. 15 and 

the end of the month. The voting 

results from each municipality 

have to be submitted to the county 

Republican committee chair- 

( man by Jan. 31. 

By statute, the winner must 

pledge to run for reelection in the 

next general election, which is in 

November. 

Freeholder Leonard Desiderio 

was elected last November to 

serve out the final year of the 

unexpired term of Jeff Van Drew, 

who resigned from the board 

after being elected to the State 

Assembly. Desiderio, fellow 

Freeholder Gerald Thornton, and 

the appointed freeholder will run 

for threeTyear ' terms in 

November 2003. 

his marina in Somers Point 

Recreation Commission and City 

Council, was withdrawn by 

Trocki in late July when the doctor 

cited the negative controversy 

surrounding the proposal. 

Morrow Beach and the Yacht 

Club are next to each other, separated 

only by Higbee Avenue 

Trocki has stated that, should 

his application be approved, the 

marina would maintain the same 

number of boat slips, but would 

be able to accommodate larger 

boats. The marina presently has 

trouble handling boats during 

low tides. A floating dock on 

Morrow Beach can be seen as a 

measure of the effects of the low 

tide, as at its lowest point, the 

floating dock is nearly on dry 

land. 

Neither neighbors nor council 

members appear to be rushing to 

support Trocki's application. 

Trocki'has not endeared himself 

to council since purchasing 

the former Mayer's Inn as well as 

the again-defunct Club Ice, formerly 

the much troubled 

Brownie's By The Bay and Club

renew the liquor license, which 

Trocki's attorney had stated was 

going to be moved to the Yacht 

Club, Trocki opened Club Ice on

Bracelets were distributed at the 

Boardwalk Hall box office on Thursday

through the process with little or no wait, 

noon Friday found an hour wait just to 

get the bracelet, with more than 100 people

this practice was unprecedented

bracelet line. "I can't give my last

He turned to three of his buddies, 

explaining one had the day off, another 

was on an extended lunch break and the 

third was supposed to be making deliveries. 

"But this is Bruce. This is 'The Boss.'

negotiating labor contracts. The 

group said it was unfair for city 

employees, who will receive the 

health care package of the contract, 

to be negotiating that contract. 

"Right now, the department 

heads negotiate for the benefits 

they share," Fairness In Taxes 

president Marge Smith said. 

Members said they did not have 

a problem with any of the department 

heads, or city business 

administrator Richard Deaney, 

who Smith said is "a good administrator." 

In addition, the group 

said it is not trying to be adversarial, 

but it believes the city is 

over-spending, especially in the 

area of health care, which city 

financial officer John Hansen 

told City Council in December 

was costing about $100,000 a

to follow the lead of Pennsylvania

tourism. Saying people are still afraid to fly after 

911, Brady said businesses and government 

should focus on regional economies. 

Brady asked Councilman Larry Carnuccio if 

he remembered last year's predictions, to which 

Carnuccio answered to the audience's amusement, 

"All thesame predictions you made today, 

but you added some." 

Brady summarized the economic picture for 

2002 by saying the recession appeared to be 

over, but unemployment was still running at six 

percent and consumer spending was low, with 

the notable exception of the housing market. 

"Real estate had a banner year. Home sales, 

home values saw appreciation," he said. 

Brady said the real estate market was doing 

well nationally, with markets like San Diego and 

Long Island seeing an 80 percent increase in 

home values. 

However, he said the nation has still not completely 

recovered from Sept. 11, 2001. The airline 

industry has not recovered from the blow it 

was dealt by the attacks, and many Americans 

lost jobs as a result of the events of Sept. 11. 

"Hundreds of millions of dollars were lost, and 

still haven't been, recovered," he said, "but we're 

a very resilient people, and our economy is very 

resilient, and we're doing very well." 

Brady said nationally there was an unprecedented 

amount of refinancing during the year. 

Locally, he said, the Borgata casino, which is 

expected to provide several thousand jobs, is 

almost complete; construction of two new 

Atlantic City malls and Ocean City-Longport 

Bridge were completed in 2002; and the local 

.real estate market was booming.

Upper Township CEUT operating at financial loss 

Administrators, school board members'say changes needed in community education 

i By MARY RUDLOFF 


UPPER TOWNSHIP - With the 

hiring of a new assistant principal 

at the Middle School, there 

are several issues regarding the 

community education (CEUT) 

program the board wants studied. 

One of the most pressing problems, 

according to School 

Business Administrator Charles 

Muller, is that the program is 

running at a deficit for the school 

district. 

Many of the instructors working 

iii the program are paid on a 

percentage basis of the money 

brought in for their particular 

course, Muller said. The average 

percentage split between the 

instructor and school district is 

60-40. The posted hourly rate for 

CEUT instructors is $18.75 per 

hour, but Muller said during the 

past several years more instruc- 

tors have moved to the percentage 

split. 

One key problem, Muller said, 

is the instructors of the most popular 

programs offered are making 

large amounts of money while 

the district continues to lose 

money in the program. 

"In some programs, 60 percent 

can be $500. In the really popular 

programs, 60 percent can be 

$2,000," Muller said. "There 

needs to be a limit on the actual 

Bereavement support group 

helps people cope with loss 



OCEAN CITY - A bereavement support group 

started as an outreach ministry of St. Frances 

Cabrini Church is inviting people to participate in a 

10-week program starting Feb. 5.The group, which 

will meet on Wednesdays from 7 to 8:30 p.m., was 

started to help people come to terms with the loss 

of a family member or other loved one. 

"We have a bereavement ministry and one of its 

four components is the support group," said 

Vincent Trainer, a group facilitator. 

Trainer, who works with Dolly Brown and main 

facilitator Barbara Hansen, said the four components 

of the bereavement ministry are: liturgy, hospitality, 

outreach and support. 

Liturgy and hospitality, Trainer said, are performed 

at the time of the funeral. Outreach may 

take the form of sympathy cards, phone calls or 

personal visits. Support, he said, is at the end of the 

spectrum when the person is trying to cope with the 

natural emotions of grief or loss. 

Started about a year ago, a support group conducted 

in the fall drew 10 to 12 participants. 

Trainer said the support group uses a text called 

"Understanding grief" that identifies normal 

occurrences that are experienced at the time of 

loss. 

"It gives everybody hands on involvement - not 

just giving them a lot of fact or fiction," Trainer 

said. 

Trainer said although the bereavement support 

group is at St. Frances Cabrini Roman Catholic 

Church, the group is open to anyone. 

"We are not restricting it to members of the 

parish, or church, or denomination," he said. 

"Anyone is welcome." • 

. Trainer said the bereavement support group is 

not a means of proselytizing -just a way of showing 

caring to the community. 

The group meetings are held at the Holy Family 

House, 114 Atlantic Ave., in Ocean City. The session 

will run from Feb. 5 until mid-April. Anyone wishing 

more information should call Vincent Trainer at 

609-391-7629.

is not the work of Cape May 

County Crime Stoppers or the 

local'police. 

Bill Plenge, president of Crime 

Stoppers, said he didn't know 

anything about posters and 

$1,000 is a little generous for the 

Crime Stopper budget. 

"We don't just do that out of 

hand," Plenge said. "A $1,000 

reward? That would be for a murder." 

The reward poster, which was 

spotted around the Ocean City 

High School and in the 4th Street 

Wawa, reads: "S1000.00 

REWARD for information leading 

to the arrest and conviction of 

the j criminals responsible for 

trespassing and vandalizing private 

homes in Ocean City." 

The poster continues, "A number 

of homes in Ocean City were 

vandalized over the Christmas 

holiday resulting in a significant 

loss of personal property as well 

as rendering the properties uninhabitable." 

Persons with information are 

asked to contact the Ocean City 

Police Division, and told they will 

be given a "reward claim code," 

which is how Crime Stoppers 

identifies reward recipients. 

However, Plenge said no one 

has contacted him to discuss 

offering a reward. 

"I haven't talked to a soul," he 

said. 

Lt. William Wilent of the Ocean 

City Police Division was also 

unaware of any reward being 

offered pertaining to break-ins or 

vandalism, and disputed the 

claims of "significant loss of personal 

property" and properties 

being rendered "uninhabitable", 

made in bold print on the reward 

posters.

Wilent said in the past few 

months there were a.number of 

houses broken into and some 

small items were reported missing, 

but there were no reports of 

a place being uninhabitable. 

"We're not seeing that," Wilent 

said. "We have found some 

places where the water was 

turned off and someone used the 

toilet, and maybe cigarette burns 

in the rug." 

Wilent said houses being broken 

into is not an uncommon 

occurrence in the winter, but it's 

becoming less frequent. These 

days, he said, people who own a 

second house at the shore are 

less likely to close it up and not 

use it all winter. In the past, summer 

homes may not have been 

heated and there were few 

amenities. Instead, they use it as 

a second home where they can 

get away to anytime during the 

year. So if anything out of the 

ordinary happens, they tend to 

find it quicker. 

Frank Zuch, a law publisher in 

Philadelphia, said both units in 

the duplex he shares on 3rd 

Street were broken into recently. 

In one case, the perpetrators 

broke in the front door and took a 

small television. Thieves later 

returned to the same unit and 

took the door off its hinges - leaving 

it on the living room floor. 

The owner was. alerted by a $300 

heating bill. 

Zuch, who has owned his property 

for about a year and a half, 

said the thieves also kicked in his 

door and took a Sony CD player 

and went through his cabinets. 

Wilent said what is needed is 

for year around residents to 

remain alert for suspicious activity. 

On Saturday, Jan. 11, a neighbor 

in the 2400 block of Wesley 

Avenue did call police at around 

4:25. p.m. to report seeing two 

youths climbing in through the 

window of a neighbor's house. 

Upon investigation, Patrolman 

Daniel Dubbs found two 17-yearold 

males, one of the unit block of 

Ocean Avenue, and the other 

from the 5200 block of Asbury 

Avenue hiding in the house. Both 

were charged with burglary and 

released to parents. One of the 

juveniles was also charged with 

possession of a controlled dangerous 

substance (CDS) and possession 

of CDS paraphernalia. 

Wilent credits the neighbor's 

call to police with the arrest of 

the suspects. 

"That's what we really need," 

he said. 

Wilent said neighbors should be 

on the lookout for unusual occurrences, 

lights on in homes where 

no one should be, people coming 

and going, unusual car traffic for 

that location. Anyone who 

observes anything unusual 

should call the Ocean City Police 

Division at 609-399-9111.

amount of money paid." 

Muller did not specify the 

amount of money the district has 

spent in maintaining the CEUT 

program. He also stressed that, 

for instructors working on a percentage 

basis, every expense 

related to that course should be 

paid from the instructor's percentage. 

"The district should not reimburse 

a dime for those programs," 

Muller said. 

Board members agreed the 

school board would need to clarify 

specific issues for newly hired 

assistant principal Vincent 

Palmieri to study. 

"These are all issues we need to 

clarify to the new administrator 

from the beginning," Board 

President Fran Newman said. 

Muller encouraged the board to 

make no decisions regarding 

changes in the program until 

Palmier! has had time to familiarize 

himself with the program. 

Palmieri will have overseeing the 

CEUT program as one of his 

duties. Formerly the program 

was run by Supervisor of Special 

•Projects Scott Read. Read 

resigned, effective Jan. 2, to 

become a vice principal in Little 

Egg Harbor Township district. 

"Right now the CEUT program 

is losing money. We need to make 

it clear to the assistant principal 

that we should not be taking a 

loss," board member Pat 

Forsstrom said. "Some people are 

making so much money in their 

programs. This shouldn't be happening 

while the district is losing 

money."

Critics question why mayor didn't reappoint planner 

By HARY RUDLOFF 

Ocean Gty Sentinel 

SOMERS POINT - Council 

members and residents questioned 

the mayor's decision to 

replace an eight-year planning 

board veteran. 

During the Jan. 3 reorganization 

meeting, appointments were 

made to city commissions and 

boards. Included in those 

appointments was the planning 

board. Missing from the planning 

board appointments, however, 

was eight-year member and 

board chairman Greg Sykora. 

Sykora, who has close ties to the 

local Republican party was

mayor wife active Democrat 

Dominic Venuto. 

Since the appointment. 

Republican leaders and local residents 

and business owners have 

questioned if what they call a 

purely political move was done 

with consideration for what is 

best for the city. 

At the council meeting on 

Thursday, Jan. 8, resident and 

businessman Corky Campbell 

questioned the mayor directly, 

asking his reasons for the change. 

"It is difficult to reconcile what 

we know with what happened 

here, Campbell said. "{Sykora) 

is on the planning board, then at 

the last minute he's out and a 

rookie is in his place. Greg did a 

lot of good for the city and the 

planning board, and the direction 

they are going in." 

Campbell said he believed the 

mayor's change was politically 

based, rather than what is in the 

best interest of the City of 

Somers Point. 

"Talcing someone with no experience 

at all, to replace an eightyear 

journeyman, I worry about 

that," Campbell said. 

Campbell said DiMaria's 

refusal to explain his decision 

was preventing residents from 

having any way to understand

how the process of appointments 

worked. 

DiMarfa denied making the 

change to Venal©, who has no 

planning board experience, for 

political reasons, but would not 

state what the reasons behind Ms 

decision were despite Campbell's 

many requests for an answer. 

"There are certain things 1 can 

not disclose to yea," BiSiaria 

said. "I think if is best, as Greg is 

not here, that I not disclose my 

reasons." 

DiMaria said he had reasons for 

making the change, b«t refused 

to disclose them, saying 

Campbell and any other interested 

party should "call Greg and 

ask Mm yourself." 

"Sometimes I have to make 

tough decisions. I am not going to 

say anything against Greg," 

DiMaria said. '•Certain things 

happened and I had to make a 

decision." 

DiMaria defended his appointment 

of Venuto, saying the resident 

had many positive attributes 

to bring to the planning board. 

Appointments to the planning 

board are at the discretion of the 

mayor. DiMaria said a possible 

return to the planning board nest 

year for Sykora would not be 

ruled out. DiMaria's three-year 

term as mavor ends at the end of 

the year, and he has not yet stated 

if he intends to run for re-election, 

la November, he made an 

unsuccessful run for county freeholder. 

The duties of the city's 

planning board include review of 

applications for new construction, 

lot subdivisions and additions 

or expansions on existing 

buildings. The applications are 

reviewed by the board for conformity 

to local zoning rules. 

Vemito has had many public 

clashes with Kirk Gerety, council 

president for the previous two 

years, during public meetings. 

DiMaria has also clashed with 

the Republican-controlled council 

over many issues in the past 

two years. Many of those arguments

The release from the district 

notes the following full-day 

kindergarten information: "You 

may have heard that the Upper 

Township school district is looking 

into full-day kindergarten." 

The press release continues, 

stressing, "No decision has been 

made at this time." 

There is a public meeting on the 

possible full-day kindergarten at 

6:30 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 3 in the 

Primary School music room. 

Information will be provided and 

questions answered at that time. 

The local school board is to 

have a presentation on the same 

subject, according to 


Frederick Donatucci, at their 

Monday, Feb. 10 workshop meeting. 

Any action on the matter 

would take place, if publicized, at 

that meeting or at the board's 

regular meeting on Monday, Feb. 

24. Since the possibility of an allday 

kindergarten program, a program 

Donatucci fully supports, 

came up for discussion again this 

year, parents in support and 

against the all-day program have 

regularly appeared at school 

board meetings to express their 

opimons on the issue. Currently 

school administrators and staff 

are continuing to study all 

aspects of possibly expanding the 

program to a full-day schedule. 

The results of the study are 

expected at the Feb. 3 public 

meeting. 

At the Monday Jan. 13 board 

meeting, several administrators 

reported that work !h areas of 

scheduling, rationale and other 

committees is ongoing, in anticipation 

of the Feb. 3 and 10 meetings. 

No specifics were given. 

Many parents have said they 

would support an all-day program 

if and when the board can 

show how the program would be 

nut and financed, where it would 

be housed, and that no other district 

program would suffer 

because of the change in the

At present, Upper Township is 

the only area district not offering 

a full-day kindergarten program. 

At the Jan. 13 meeting, a pareni 

questioned if the board had 

intentions to establish a third session 

of the all-day French 

Immersion kindergarten program. 

School Board President 

Fran Newman said the board had 

not, at any time, discussed 

whether to create a third year of 

the program. 

"At this point, the board has not 

discussed (French Immersion) 

for this year," Newman said. "It 

has not come tip at all for something 

we are looking to happen 

next year." . 

Donatucci said French 

Immersion kindergarten would 

be something the board would 

have to discuss in February. 

"I plan to bring it to the board," 

Donatucci said. "It would be in 

open session. Well make that discussion 

known." 

Last year, the creation of a second 

year of the French 

Immersion kindergarten program 

came under fire from parents, 

teachers and board vice 

president Audrey Ekhenberge_r. 

When the budget was defeated in 

April 2002, resulting in cuts 

being required, Eichenberger 

again argued to eliminate the 

second session of the program, 

rather than cutting other budget 

areas. Her recommendation was 

Bot supported by the beard. 

The district also came under 

fire last spring when the selection 

lottery, performed by then- 

Superinteadent of Schools Dr. 

Albert Moniflas, was questioned 

as to how it was conducted and 

the selections made.

Upper Twp. school district hires new assistant principal 



_ UPPER TOWNSHIP - At their 

\ vn ist recer* meeting, the local 

school igrt. /oted to fill the positio; 

ol assistant "vice principal 

establis. 1 ;d at last month's meeting. 

In a pair of unanimous votes 

following a lengthy executive 

session at their Monday, Jan. 13 

meeting, the board of education 

voted to offer a contract to 

Vincent Palmieri Jr. for the 

recently created position of assistant 

vice principal at the district's 

middle school. 

* '- Pabnieri, currently an assistant 

principal at Middle Township 

High School, will join the district 

approximately March 15. He is 

contractually required by the 

Middle Township school district 

to give 60 days' notice. 

Palmieri's salary for the year is 

$76,000, to be prorated for the 

number of days he works in the 

district for the remainder of the 

school year. 

The school board also unanimously 

approved a motion hiring 

an interim assistant principal 

until the time Palmieri joins the 

district. The board approved 

appointing Les Carestio to the 

position of interim assistant principal. 

Carestio was hired at a per 

day rate of $215.00, to serve in 

the position from Jan. 15 to 

March 14. The total cost of 

Carestio's interim service should 

run the district slightly more 

than $9,000 for that time period. 

"The middle school's organization 

is complex, especially with 

650 students," Superintendent of 

Schools Frederick Donatucci 

said. "This is really a two-person 

operation." 

Donatucci said adding the 

assistant principal would give the 

middle school staff more of an 

"bility to focus on educational 

,,$ê ', most importantly mathemi 

xs. The district's math scores 

on the 8th grade testing took a 

hard hit last year. 

"The real factor is to be_ able to 

put more emphasis on instruction," 

Donatucci said. 

In addition to duties at the middle 

school, which were not 

detailed at the time of hiring, 

Palmieri will be responsible to 

oversee the community education 

(CEUT) program for the district. 

The board has stated the need for 

revamping some aspects of the 

CEUT program, which the district 

operates at a financial loss. 

Formerly, many of the duties 

Palmieri will assume, including 

supervision of the CEUT program, 

were handled by 

Supervisor of Special Projects 

Scott Read. Read resigned his 

position in the district, effective 

Jan, 2, to become an assistant 

principal in little Egg Harbor 

Township school district. 

In October 2001, Read had 

requested the board change his 

title from Supervisor of Special 

Projects to assistant principal. 

The board unanimously rejected 

the resolution to do so. At that 

time, several board members 

stated they felt it was the board's 

obligation to adhere to the outcome 

of a vote a few years prior, 

when voters rejected a separate 

question at budget time regarding 

the establishment of the position 

of assistant principal None

Cape Savings donates $24,000 

charities picked by customers 



CAPE MAY COURT HOUSE - 

Four local charities shared 

$24,400 donated by Cape Savings 

Bank in its fourth annual 

Customer Discretion Awards in 

December. 

The program allows customers 

^£> vote for four charities listed on 

a'ballot, with additional lines for 

write-in candidates. According to 

Donata Dalesandro, marketing 

assistant with Cape Savings, the 

bank mailed out approximately 

17,000 ballots to customers with 

their monthly statement. 

This year's top vote getters 

were the Community Food Bank 

of New Jersey, the Cape May 

County Zoological Society, The 

Arc of Cape May and Atlantic 

Counties, and the Ruth Newman

for infant son's death 

By BILL GODFREY 

Cape May Star and Wave 

MAY COURT HOUSE - 

The murder trial of Edward 

Roman Sr. of Lower Township, 

continues this week in the courtroom 

of Judge Carmen Alvarez 

here. 

The jury consists of seven men 

and five women. 

Testimony Tuesday began with 

the county medical examiner and 

included several witnesses and a 

playing of a chilling 911 tape, in 

which Roman is heard to say 

rdmly to the policeman who 

afeves on the scene, "What's 

up?" 

Roman is charged with first 

degree murder in the death of his 

seven-week-old son Edward Jr. 

Roman is also charged with two 

counts of endangering the welfare 

of a child and two counts of 

laggravated assault, one count 

each for Edward Jr., and one 

each for Edward's twin brother, 

Aeotin Roman. 

Barbara Bakley Marino from 

the Cape May County 

Prosecutor's Office represents 

the state's case and Joseph 

Marrone is representing Roman. 

Marrone has offices in Camden 

and Philadelphia. 

Cape May County Medical 

Examiner Dr. Elliot Gross was 

the first person to testify for the 

prosecution Tuesday and spent 

almost 30 minutes answering 

ptibns regarding his creden- 

. The defense raised issues 

about Gross, including his error 

in a recent case reporting a suffocation 

death that led to his dismissal 

as an assistant Atlantic 

County Medical Examiner. 

Marrone did not object to Gross 

as an expert witness for the prosecution. 

According to Gross, Edward, Jr. 

had as many as ten rib fractures 

^ i right side and ten on his 

left side, as well as fractures on 

both sides of his skull. 

"In my opinion, they had to be 

inflicted," Gross testified. 

Gross said his finding as to 

cause of death was subdural 

hemorrhage due to fractures of 

the skull due to blunt force trauma 

to the head. Gross said it was 

"extremely unlikely" those 

injuries could have occurred as 

the result of a fall from a couch, 

which is how Roman initially told 

police the baby was injured. 

Under defense questioning, 

however, Gross admitted it's 

"possible" but unlikely the 

injuries could have been caused 

by the resuscitation efforts of 

police, emergency medical 

examiners and the hospital. 

The defense raised issues about 

the baby's handling by police, 

EMTs and- medical workers at 

the hospital. Marrone asked 

Burdette Tomlin Medical 

Director Dr. William R. Weisberg 

if a tracheal tube inserted into 

the baby's mouth before the 

baby's arrival at the hospital had 

been inserted incorrectly. 

Shapiro Cancer and Heart Fund. 

Each of the four charities 

received $6,100 for their respective 

programs. 

The Customer Discretion 

Awards is part of Cape Saving's 

Community Involvement 

Program called Cape Cares. Each 

year the bank donates a portion 

of its revenue to local events, 

groups and non-profit organizations. 

To date, Cape Savings has contributed 

over $1.4 million to the 

community, Cape Savings 

employees .have volunteered over 

1,000 hours in support of local 

events and charities. 

Grande, Vineland, Somers Point 

and Pleasantville stores were not 

included on the list. New Jersey 

stores to be closed are Big K- 

Marts in Delran, Old Bridge and 

Pennsauken. 

The new closings follow 283 

closed in 2002 after the discount 

retail giant filed for Chapter 11 

bankruptcy protection on Jan. 22, 

2002. The anticipated closings 

will eliminate 37,000 jobs. The 

2002 closings left another 22,000 

employees without a job. This 

year's closings will leave the 

chain with slightly more than 

1,500 stores in the United States, 

the Caribbean and Guam, onethird 

fewer stores than prior to 

bankruptcy filing. 

Stores closing are a combination 

of Super-K's and Big K- 

Marts in 44 states and two in 

Puerto Rico. Hardest hit with 

closings are Texas, losing 54 K- 

Marts; Florida, which will see 25 

closings. North Carolina with 18 

and California with 19 stores to 

shut their doors. 

The company is to file disclosure 

forms by Jan. 24, which 

includes reorganization plans. 

Company officials have stated it 

is the corporation's intent to 

emerge from bankruptcy by 

April 30. As part of that effort, it 

was announced the company has 

received commitments of $2 billion 

in exit financing, from GE 

Commercial Financing, Fleet 

Retail Financing and Bank of 

America NA. 

Somers Point residents saw 

construction on their recently 

opened Kmart come to a grinding 

halt shortly after the January 

2002 bankruptcy filing. At the 

time, city officials were unsure of 

the status of the then-steel frame 

structure. Construction resumed 

after several months of limbo, 

and the store opened its doors in • 

October. 

Several other discount retail 

chains that had area stores filed 

for bankruptcy, but were unable 

to emerge from the financial protection 

and ended up closing the 

doors on the entire chain. Those 

chains included both Bradlees, 

who closed in the mid-90s, and 

Jamesway, which had four stores 

in Cape May County alone, which 

never regained its financial feet 

after filing bankruptcy and closing 

some area stores in the early 

'90s. One local reminder of the 

Jamesway chain, the store in 

Cedar Square on Route 9 in 

Seaville, remains empty still.

. EDITORIAL 

One resident, 

one vote 

At the shore, it doesn't have to be 

'taxation without representaiton' 

It isn't hard to understand why 

some owners of vacation homes at 

the Jersey shore want the opportunity 

to vote in local elections. 

Given the value of properties in 

communities such as Ocean City or 

Cape May or points in between, 

there is a lot of money at stake - tax 

money, primarily. 

State Assemblyman Peter Eagler, 

D-Essex, has proposed legislation 

to allow nonresidents the right to 

file absentee ballots in the communities 

in which they own properties. 

They would be able to vote in 

school elections, municipal elections 

and on local referendums. 

Nonresidents would also have the 

right to vote in fire district elections, 

but we get the feeling that 

isn't where their interest lies. 

The interest is in how much they 

have to pay in taxes. 

It's the sense of taxation without 

representation ... being taxed on 

properties yet not having the right 

to an official say at the ballot box. 

If a person owns property in a 

town, having the right to vote there 

isn't a far-fetched idea, but it is an 

idea that should not be remedied by 

Eagler's legislation. 

There is little doubt in places 

where the landscape is often dominated 

by second homes, investment 

and vacation properties, a large 

portion of the tax revenue is 

derived from sources that don't get 

to vote on issues that affect how 

those taxes are decided. That's the 

rub for a growing number of nonresidents 

with tax bills to pay. 

The problem with giving nonresidents 

the right to vote is that it is a 

major backward step in the way 

this nation is governed. The United 

States was far from perfect through 

much of its history on who was 

accorded a vote. It took until 1869 

before nonwhites were given the 

right to vote and until 1919 that 

women got a shot at the ballot box. 

The requirement to vote in elections 

boils down to two simple 

things - residency and having 

attained the age of 18 (at least since 

1971). 

There isn't a requirement about 

being a property owner. It has to do 

with living in a community. The 

expectation is that people should 

have the right to vote where they 

LETTERS 

Rebuilding homes In 

Afghanistan may stop 

generations of hatred 

To the editor: 

So, here we are starting the 21st centu- 

,ry and what has our long, illustrious history 

brought us to? The countries of the 

world, snarling like dogs over the 

remaining oil fields on the planet. The 

United States is assuming the role of the 

big bully dog, seeking to claim oil 

resources from other less powerful 

countries. The U.S. policy doesn't mind 

the collateral damage of dead Iraqi children, 

or even worse, those who die of 

leukemia from our uranium-tipped 

bombs, true "weapons of mass destruction." 

Meanwhile, in Afghanistan, where 

once we gave billions in military assistance 

to Osama bin Laden and gang, 

most recently we've spent billions trying 

to find him, and kill him. An unfortunate 

effect of this, as reported by the New 

York Times, is that one-half million 

Afghans had their houses bombed and 

destroyed. With no resources, they cry 

as their families starve. Just think of the 

good will America would incur if they 

1 rebuilt the houses and infrastructures 

they bombed. 

If we neglect them, we could develop a 

new generation in Afghanistan who think 

Americans are the enemies. 

The irony is, every day on the talk 

shows, innumerable chubby ladies show 

have decided to reside. 

The concept of property owners 

being given special treatment 

recalls the days of the landed gentry, 

when only people of means 

were accorded the stature worthy 

of a vote. The ideal of a democracy 

is equality - one man (or woman), 

one vote. It shouldn't matter if a 

person rents an efficiency apartment 

or owns a million-dollar 

beachfront home. Neither deserves 

an advantage when it comes to 

deciding important aspects of a 

community - electing officials or 

voting on referendums. 

Frankly, we don't like the idea that 

someone wealthy enough to Afford 

property throughout the state 

would also have the right tavote in 

community after community. We 

fear financial interests would rule, 

rather than more rounded interests 

of those who have to feel the day-today 

effects of their voting. 

One likely byproduct of giving 

nonresidents the vote would be felt 

on referendums for spending, particularly 

on schools. Without a residency 

stake in a community, it's 

hard to expect nonresidents to want 

to fund buildings or budgets when 

they're already paying for that type 

of thing in their home communities. 

Local officials would have reason 

to fear the consistent demise of the 

referendums they propose. Imagine 

what that could have meant to the 

votes for school construction in 

Ocean City or Lower Township, 

where regional school districts both 

needed new or bigger high schools? 

It was tough enough to approve a 

referendum when only local residents 

- including those with kids in 

the school districts - were voting. 

To put it bluntly, there doesn't 

need to be legislation giving people 

with greater financial wherewithal 

additional votes. Those nonresidents 

already have the opportunity 

- they can become residents by 

changing their registration and 

declaring residency status where 

they own property. 

If someone is concerned enough 

to want to vote in a New Jersey 

community, they should be willing 

to make that community their official 

residence. 

up to weep and bemoan the fact they are 

fat; and actually have access to too much 

food! Why don't we send them to 

Afghanistan, to live amongst the people, 

and give the money they would otherwise 

spend on Ho-Ho's and Weight- 

Watchers programs to buy lumber for 

houses? They'd lose weight, too! 

Of course, I jest, but the arrogance, disregard 

of human suffering, and lack of 

respect for people of other countries, 

who maybe "aren't quite white" could be 

an answer as to why we find ourselves 

with so many enemies.

Ecumenical Council 

appreciates help 

-with food pantry 


Veterans Day (2002) was celebrated in 

various ways by Ocean City residents. 

One such way was to participate in the 

food drive sponsored by the U.S. Post 

Office letter carriers. In excess of 10,000 

pounds of food was collected and delivered 

to the Ecumenical Council's "food 

cupboard" in St. Peter's Methodist 

Church where it filled every nook and 

cranny (floor and shelves). That 

Saturday and the next Monday volunteers 

spent hours making order out of 

"food chaos." We even had to use another 

room of the church for several food 

carts donated by the local Super Fresh.

COMMENTARY 

LETTERS 


The proposed elimination of taxes on 

dividends should only occur if all shareholders 

receive the tax benefits. Not just 

the wealthy. Most middle class workers 

and retirees own most of their stock in 

their 401k, IRA, Roth plans, 529 plans 

etc. Elimination of the dividend tax is 

meaningless for this group. 

In order to make all investors parri 

passu as to the tax proposal, I offer the 

following suggestion. 

Dividends received during the year in 

the plans listed above will be reported 

on a 1099 form each year. The taxpayer 

will list this amount as a negative 

amount on the Dividend line on their 

1040 tax return as reduction from gross 

income. Therefore the taxpayer will 

receive a tax benefit in the year the dividend 

was earned but not received. 

When the dividend is actually distributed 

from the plan, the taxpayer will 

then pay a tax on the dividend, which 

will by then be commingled with other 

taxable retirement income. The eventual 

tax paid will be offset by the original 

tax benefit already taken. The effective 

tax rates may be different and possibly 

lower at the retirement distribution 

date, which is a further break to the middle 

class. The tax benefit will precede 

the tax payment, which also offers a positive 

tax timing arbitrage. 

The above solution will encourage 

more retirement saving and thus greater 

capital investment in dividend paying 

stocks. Higher dividends should also 

create higher stock values and income 

yields for all retirement plans through 

the elimination of double taxation on 

dividends. With rising health care costs 

for retirees and the curtailment of 

defined benefit pension plans, personal 

savings for retirement is no longer discretionary, 

but mandatory. 

This solution will also create a shortterm 

economic stimulus with current 

tax benefits that the government will 

eventually recoup back to surplus. Thus 

a win for all.

Speed-limit on the 

Ocean Clty-Longport 

bridge needs thought 


The Ocean City-Longport bridge has 

been well "broken in" and seems to be 

doing just fine. It will help ease a lot of 

last summer's traffic problems. But do 

the authorities actually believe that 

motorists will observe a 25-mph speed 

limit? Why not be sensible and avoid 

making law-breakers out of everyone?

Cape May 

Assemblyman sets 

his priorities for 

the new year 


The transition into a new year is 

always met with great anticipation and 

excitement. Regardless of the form of 

celebrating, the new year is a time to 

remember the places we've been, and' 

look forward to where we want to go. It 

is the result of such contemplation that 

has caused me to highlight the issues I 

intend to focus on throughout 2003. 

As many of you know, I am greatly 

invested in the well-being of our country's 

veterans, due to my family's history 

of" sacrifice and support of our nation. 

I will work to ensure that the renovations 

to the Vineland Veterans Home 

proceed smoothly. Also, at this time 

when pur National Guard is being called 

into active duty, it has never been more 

imperative to treat military personnel, 

regardless of time or location of service, 

as recognized veterans. I will continue to 

pursue the passing of A887 which will 

broaden the current limited definition of 

those whom New Jersey determines to 

be a veteran. Lastly, I will continue to 

work extensively with our federal legislators 

to make sure our veterans have 

the access to quality health care that a 

VA hospital in our community would 

offer. 

o 

Secondly, access to health care is not a .v 

mere concern of veterans. Rather, it is ;j 

an issue affecting everyone living i( ',; 

New Jersey. As New Jersey joins the ". 

nation in an insurance crisis, it is now i 1 

more imperative to address the argument 

on medical malpractice. The issue * 

is one that involves several groups, each ;", 

with their warranted concerns. » 

However, if a solution is not reached l 

quickly, the most damage will be inflict- ^ 

ed upon the average citizen. We must *= 

efficiently develop a viable compromise ~*> 

in order to avoid our access to health ^ 

care being diminished. -^ 

Cape May County faces many uniqu# ; 

issues that must be addressed by the ';' 

State Legislature as well. For example,' ". 

another goal I have for 2003 is to advo- .* 

cate for a statewide program that would f 

encourage barrier island communities to ~ 

research and utilize alternative water": 

desalination mechanisms. Due to- the. :• 

demand from our population, particular- ^ 

ly during the summer tourist season,'thief.' ? 

level of consumable water has bijeni; 

decreasing at an alarming rate-.-It's sim*- 'ply 

being depleted faster than it can beL • 

replaced from available aquifers. " 

Employing alternative methods of •_ 

desalination is an effective and efficient t 

way to secure our vital water supply : \ 

well into the future. 

Lastly, throughout my tenure as a state 

assemblyman, I have spent a great deal ' 

of effort focusing on the economic devel- 5 ; 

opment of our region. Tourism in Cape ^ 

May County has been an obvious priori- s 

ty. However, it is also important to * 

strengthen the economy of our commu- °a ? 

nities throughout the entire year. Foar K 

this reason, I will continue working t&-ibe 

maintained, as well as any new initiatives 

to highlight the Wildwood _} 

Convention Center should be developed. 

I would like to thank those individuals 

that have assisted my office in the past, 

and I look forward to working with the -A> 

local, county, state and federal official^ '* 

throughout this new year. In addition, I 91 

encourage the residents of the First ^ 

District to feel free to contact me with ;'o 

any state-related concerns you may v 

have. You can reach my office at * 

(609)884-7377 or through e-mail at ^

these goals outlined above throughout w 

2003, I also wish you a new year filled

Kruk and vocalist and program 

narrator Derrick McQueen banished 

the wintry chill with warm 

entertainment and fine musicianship. 

McQueen delivered amusing 

and informative oral program 

notes while the Jacobsons and 

Kruk made lively music. Al 

Jacobson's alto sax and Irv^s nimble 

fingers at the electronic keyboard, 

with Kruk punctuating lie 

songs with her acoustic bass with 

grand style, brought things neatly 

together. McQueen provided 

information about the circumstances 

surrounding the genesis 

of each song. Lorenz Hart died 

young, the victim of his excessive 

bouts with the bottle. During dry 

episodes between binges, he 

wrote lyrics for innumerable 

songs that illuminated the "Great 

White Way" for all too brief a 

time. 

McQueen prefaced a parade of 

the memorable songs with, as 

Sgt. Friday would put it, the facts. 

"Little Boy Blue" was featured in 

"Jumbo," a circus musical starring 

Jimmy Durante. Then there 

were "My Romance," "Small 

Hotel" and "Bewitched, Bothered 

and Bewildered." The latter song 

kept migrating from show to 

show until it found its place 

among American standards. 

McQueen's singing of the song 

was something to savor, as his 

voice is a phenomenal instrument 

with an impressive range. .

Ocean City Sentinel critic 

OCEAN CITY - The Ocean City 

Music Pier was almost filled on a 

glorious sunny albeit frigid afternoon 

on Saturday, Jan. 11. The 

reason for the crowd was the second 

appearance of "Seven Quilts 

for Seven Sisters," hosted by the 

Ocean City Historical Museum. 

When "Seven Quilts" first 

appeared here two years ago, the 

atrium of the Center could barely 

contain the 300 people who 

turned out. The Music Pier was a 

much better venue for the show. 

"A Stitch in Time" is a marvelous 

show from any standpoint. 

The presentation consists of 

songs, stories and a most palatable 

history lesson. The ladies 

were costumed as their slave 

ancestors would have been 

dressed 200 years ago. Behind 

them was an array of beautiful 

quilts they had made. The women 

described the many uses of the 

quilts, above and beyond the utilitarian. 

Their ancestors began 

quilting to escape some of the 

plantation drudgery and provided 

a measure of social interaction, 

that was often missing from their 

oppression-laden lives. All the 

ladies were marvelous actors 

who have the ability to switch 

gears from the King's English to 

plantation dialect with split timing, 

all the whole staying in character. 

Stories and comic bits were 

interspersed with wonderful 

choral singing of songs like 

"Motherless Child," the lively 

"Watermelon Song," "Tile Great 

Camp Meeting," "Steal Away," 

"Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" and 

"Standing in the Need of Prayer." 

They danced the cakewalk and 

gossiped hilariously. They told 

stories in the African oral tradition 

of the griots. Slaves weren't 

allowed to learn how to read or 

write and so the culture was kept 

alive by story-telling. Some of the 

best stories were at the expense 

of the slave masters. A keen 

sense of humor was instrumental 

for survival. There were stories 

about Mr. Scratch, the devil and 

how random stitching was used 

to confuse demons while straight 

line stitching was the province of 

the slave holders. 

There were only six sisters 

onstage because unfortunately 

one sister had passed away three 

years ago. They kept her memory 

alive by showing her work. The 

surviving sisters held up their 

quilts and explained how color 

codes and choices of subject 

served as a means of communication. 

"A Stitch in Time" received a 

well deserved standing ovation 

and the ladies were besieged by 

people asking questions and 

seeking to purchase quilts and 

CDs of their singing. The singing 

was a capella and without a conductor, 

with close harmony and a 

full range of voices. One of the 

sisters, Mrs. Phyllis Walker, 

promised that on a subsequent 

visit the group would sing 

"Follow the Drinking Gourd," 

which was sung by the escaping 

slaves as they migrated northward 

led by heroines like Harriet 

Tubman and Soj owner Truth. 

Paul Anselm was overheard 

inviting one of the performers to 

bring the show back as ah annual 

event. Anselm rightly said those 

who were there Saturday would 

bring their friends, for good reason. 

Many in the audience spoke 

about anticipating the Seven 

Sisters' next appearance here 

and elsewhere. It was one grand 

afternoon.

upbeat "This Can't Be Love," 

from "The Boys from Syracuse," 

a show based on Shakespeare's 

"A Comedy of Errors" as was 

Cole Porter's "Kiss Me Kate." 

McQueen gave fascinating background 

information for each 

song. A number called "Have You 

Met Miss Jones" was in a show 

called "I'd Rather be Right" starring 

George M. Cohan as FDR. 

McQueen told of a song titled 

"Dancing on the Ceiling," written 

to exploit the multiple talents of 

British musical star Jessie 

Matthews. The song, with its 

poignant words, was also a signa- 

ture vehicle for '50s vocalistpianist 

Jerri Sothern. The quartet 

promised to work up an arrangement 

of "Dancing on the Ceiling," 

which would be a natural for 

McQueen to sing.

Lady Raiders off to best start in a decade 

Ocean City girls basketball is 8-1, working to overcome the loss of standout Catie LaRue 

> By CHARLIE WOOD 


Off to their best start in a decade with 

an 8-1 record through Monday, Jan. 13, 

Ocean City High School's Lady Raider 

basketball team must now deal with the 

adversity of losing one of its premier 

players. 

Senior Catie LaRue, who has already 

accepted a scholarship to play for coach 

Stephanie Vanderslice Gaitley at Long 

Îsland University next year, suffered a 

broken nose in practice on Monday, Jan. 

6, and will be out of the lineup for about 

four weeks, according to Ocean City 

coach Paul Baruffi. 

Prior to her injury, LaRue was averaging 

13 points per game through the first 

five games of this season. 

Her return will probably come early in 

February when the Lady Raiders also 

expect senior point guard Rachel 

Constantine to return from an ACL 

injury which happened last summer. 

"I feel really, really bad for Catie, and 

Rachel," Baruffi said. "We feel bad for 

the person, but as a team we have to play 

through it. We have to move on." 

Constantine has not played at all this 

year, and LaRue missed all three of last 

week's games when Ocean City beat 

previously undefeated Vineland, 42-29, 

beat Buena 69-18 and then nipped testy 

Lower Cape May 50-46. 

"I told the girls this is an opportunity to 

step up, and in the first two games without 

Catie, they've all stepped up," 

Baruffi said after the Buena win. "They 

want playing time, now they're getting it, 

and they're doing what they need to do." 

In the win over Vineland on Jan. 7, sen- 

ior forward Ashley DuRoss led a balanced 

attack with 10 points. Her sister 

Kaitlyn, a sophomore, had nine, senior 

Mary Rybicki had eight and junior 

Megan Larsen added seven. 

Playing at home against Buena on Jan. 

9,' the same day LaRue underwent surgery 

for her broken nose, the Lady 

Raiders completely dismantled Buena 

led by a career high of 16 points from 

Rybicki. 

Buena scored just two points in the second 

quarter and did not score in the 

fourth quarter, as Ocean City improved 

to 6-1. 

The Lady Raiders' revved up defense 

had a lot to do with Buena's inability to 

score, as they forced 14 turnovers led by 

three steals each from Rybicki and senior 

Run Treen. Seniors Kristen Gibb and 

Kaitlyn Lawlor added two steals each, 

and Lawlor added 11 points. 

"It was tough finding out that Catie 

Wasn't coming back, and now everyone 

has to step up," Rybicki said after the 

Buena game. "Catie is a hard loss, and

battle, 

but Tigers ice the 

game at foul line 

By CHARLIE WOOD 


OCEAN CITY - They got the 

intensity cranked up about as 

high as they could get it last 

Friday night, Jan. 10, in the 

Ocean City Red Raider gym, but 

in the final two minutes, it took 

some calm, cool foul shooting by 

Lower Cape May's Tigers to ice 

the game. 

Ocean City fought back in the 

fourth quarter to cut Lower's 

lead to four points, but the Tigers 

hit 14 of 18 chances from the 

charity stripe, including six of six 

by Matt Betz to clinch a 54-43 

win. ' - • 

Ocean City took the lead briefly 

in the game's opening minute on 

3-pointer by sophomore point 

guard Phil Schaffer, but Betz hit 

a 3-pointer about 20 seconds 

later to tie the score and Lower 

never trailed again. 

Still, through the remaining 30 

minutes Ocean City was relentless 

in its pursuit. 

"Lower Cape May is as good a 

coached team as you're going to 

see in the Cape Atlantic League," 

said Ocean City coach John 

Bruno. "They play hard, and 

you've got to match their intensity, 

which I thought we did." 

Lower sat back in a 3-2 zone for 

the first two minutes, but then 

David Nahan/Ocean City Sentinel

night's game at Millville. Rolls has 

been pounding the boards for 

rebounds this season. 

switched to full-court pressure 

arid a -man-to-man defense, and 

the race was on, helter skelter, up 

and down the floor. 

"We have some fast guards, and 

we like to extend our defense to 

try to create some transition," 

said Lower's coach Pat Holden. 

"We're not prolific scorers, so 

defensively we've got to keep 

teams under 45 or 50 points if we 

expect to win." 

Ocean City kept the gap to within 

two or three points until midway 

through the second quarter 

when Betz ran off seven straight 

points, and Tim Ruffzng closed 

out the first half with four more 

to open a 25-16 lead. 

Lower could likely have 

extended its lead even more, 

except for the work of Micah 

Rolls, who grabbed six defensive 

rebounds in the first half to deny 

the Tigers second chances. 

"We were in a situation where 

we had a lot of mismatches, but I 

thought for a small team we 

rebounded well," Bruno said. "I 

thought we could beat them down 

the floor. We had some tough mismatches, 

and I thought if we 

could speed up the game a little 

bit it would be to our advantage." 

Ocean City picked up the intensity 

in the third quarter as 

Antwaine Campo scored on a 

wrap around underneath. 

Phil Schaffer ran the floor for 

tw6 more off a defensive rebound 

by Rolls; and Jack Nixon drilled 

a trey off an assist from Matt 

Schaffer to cut the lad to 27-26. 

But Betz answered with another 

trey, his third, and Andre

• Ocean City Sentinel 

In a bid to wrest the lead away 

from Ocean City, the powerful 

Vineland Fighting Clan made an 

18-point run, but Raider senior 

Bob Skellenger and then freshman 

Josh Hawn stopped them 

cold. 

Ocean City's Red Raiders had 

the old high school gym in a 

clamor at their home opener last 

Wednesday, Jan. 8, as they 

surged past Vineland to take a 

surprising 18-6 lead after the 

first four matches. 

But the Clan fought back with 

four straight wins and 18 points 

to take theiead for the first time 

all night, 24-18, until Skellenger 

intervened. . 

The evening's matches started 

at 135 pounds and, wrestling in 

tiuj heavyweight - class, 

Skellenger went right to work 

with a take down and subsequent 

pin just 47 seconds into 

the match to even the score at 

24-24. 

It was the third time the score 

had been tied, and this time the 

Raiders' freshman rookie, Josh 

Hawn, at 103, broke it up with a 

dramatic takedown in overtime 

to win. a 7-5 decision, giving his 

team a 27-24 lead with four 

matches left. 

There was hope, but if faded

NJSIAA sinks girls 

swim relays at states 

By CHAHLIE WOOD 


of d rt'ceul ruliliiK by 

the NJSIAA, New Jprbey's governing 

body for high school 

.sports, the Occ:*n City High 

.school'» girls rela> svnat team* 

will not be allowed to compete in 

the tittle chiimpions urid inrls. Instead 

there is one c,o-ed team, which 

has been the case for a long, long 

lime 

And for a Inn*?, lon^ tune, it 

didn't matter Although competing 

agamst boys all season, girls, 

could rcht at-surtsd that when 

1 the ftate meet rolled around, 

those who had aualifymg rimes 

would compoto .iyaint>t only 

' siri* in the relays as well a& the 

individual events 

The rt-ccni ruling changes 

that. 

i If a btihuol doesn't sponsor a 

f-nrls swim tejin, then the gjrls 

can'l enter ihu rulays,." .say* 

NJSIAA executive Cniol 

, Par-iOns, who over>,et:& swtm- 

And, Prf>*ion e.\pl;ti'is, in 

dnothct inteies-nny twist the 

JVJSIAA considers co-ed teams 

to be boys teams for purposes of 

determining who goes to state 

relays, «veh if there arc tnore 

girls on the team , 

However, she adds, co-ed | 

teams could commit as a girts 

learn for purposes of state 

relays, and of course that would 

knock out the 

boy« from the 

relays 

Girts can still 

enter individual events at the 

state meet, according to 

Parsons. Any school can send 

individuals to the stare meet, as 

Jong us those individuals have 

qualifying times. 

The ruling, which was 

approved by the NJSIAA's 

Program Review Committee as 

well as its Executive Committee, 

composed of an eaual number 

of superintendents, principals 

and athlete directors, seems to 

be a classic case of - "if it ain't 

broke, why fix it?" 

As far as> Ocean City High 

School's girls are concerned, it 

sure looks like it's broke now. 

In all fairness, the NJSIAA, 

which is> deeply committed to 

providing positive opportunities 

for New Jersey's young people, 

seldom makes 3n irrational decision. 

And there i.s d rationale fur this 

ruling, according to Parsons, 

who in this case is the administrator 

and not the decisionmates? 

"Co-ed swim teams only occur 

in a small portion of South 

Jersey." she explains "And the 

regulation should be in effect for 

the majority." 

So the majority ,

>2 ., • OCEAN CITY SENTINEL THURSDAY, JANUARY 

Ocean City swimmers upset Atlantic City, 97-89 



Hard training over the holidays 

may have been the difference as 

the Ocean City Raider swim team 

opened the new year with a major 

upset of Atlantic City, 97-89, in a 

co-ed meet last Wednesday, Jan. 

8. 

Ocean City won all three relays, 

went 1-2-3 in the 50 freestyle and 

took first and second in the 100 

freestyle against a veteran 

Atlantic City team that is expected 

to be among the elite in the 

CAL. 

"Atlantic City has some good 

kids," said Ocean City coach Curt 

Nath. "The difference was that 

they didn't train over die holidays. 

We put in eight: grand 

(8,000 meters), 2-3 hours every 

day over the break, and it paid 

off." 

Normally Atlantic City competes 

with separate boys and 

girls teams, but against Ocean 

City, which has a co-ed team, the 

Vikings combined forces, or Jto be 

exact added state champion 

Moira McClosky, a senior, who 

won the 100 butterfly, and out- 

touched Raider senior Ken 

Sedberry to take first place in the 

100 backstroke. 

Moira's younger brother 

Dennon McClosky is also a formidable 

swimmer, and he won the 

200 and 500 freestyle events. 

"We mapped out our score a 

couple of days before the meet, 

and we expected to win by an 

even bigger margin," Nath said. 

"We expected Dennon to swim 

the individual medley and the 

backstroke, and we expected 

Moira to swim the 200 free and 

the 100 fly, so we conceded those 

four events." 

Instead Ocean City picked up 

some unexpected points when 

freshman Mike Corrigan won the 

100 individual medley, with 

Raider senior Heather Monroe 

third. 

Corrigan, Sedberry, Ian Hardin 

and Justin Southard combined to 

win the opening medley relay by 

a touch, and Raider freshman 

Justin Perry took second behind 

Dennon McClosky in the 200 

freestyle to keep the score tied. 

Ocean City took a slim lead with 

points from Corrigan and Monroe 

in the 200 IM. 

But Southard followed by 

Hardin and freshman Tom Kryzk 

swept the 50 freestyle to give 

Ocean City a 37-25 lead at the 

break for the diving. 

Atlantic City took first and second 

in the diving with Ocean 

City's Emily Hayes third, but the 

Raiders still led 43-35. 

Moira McClosky won the 100 

butterfly with Kryzk second to 

cut the lead to 49-45, but 

Sedberry and Southard went 1-2 

in the 100 freestyle to stretch the 

Raider lead to 61-49. 

Atlantic City got within striking 

distance, 89-83, after placing first 

and second in the 100 breaststroke, 

but Ocean City came back 

to win the final 400 freestyle 

relay to clinch the win. 

Brian Riordan, Kryzk, Sedberry 

and anchorman Southard swam 

the 400 relay, which they won by 

six seconds over Atlantic City. 

In the 200 freestyle relay, 

Raiders Riordan, Corrigan, 

Kryzk and Hardin on the anchor 

beat Atlantic City by a touch. 

"As a co-ed team, it is nice to 

beat a predominantly guys team 

with Moira added," Nath said of 

his team's win.

Sink: NJSIAA nixes girls relays 

Continued from page Bl 

Jersey schools, primarily those in 

the Cape Atlantic League, some 

of whom are still building programs, 

get short sheeted. 

Not all schools in the Cape 

Atlantic League offer swimming 

as a varsity sport. Of those that 

do, only Mainland, Vineland, 

Atlantic City, Holy Spirit and 

Millville have separate teams for 

boys and girls. St. Augustine, an 

all boys school, has only a boys 

team. Co-ed teams include Ocean 

City, EHT, Oakcrest, 

Hammonton, Wildwood Catholic, 

Lower Cape May and Middle 

Township. 

Typically, but not always, co-ed 

teams when competing against 

schools with separate teams, 

swim against that school's boys 

team. Mainland and Atlantic are 

the exceptions. They swim co-ed 

against combined teams such as 

Ocean City. 

We thought maybe the 

NJSIAA's rational for forcing 

schools to sponsor two teams had 

something to do with added revenues. 

Not so, according to Parsons. 

Schools must pay an $80 fee to 

enter the team swim tournament, 

which consists of only eight 

teams for each sectional in 

groups I-rv; so that doesn't 

change. • : 

In the individuals state meet; 

the cost is $14 per event for 

either an individual race or a 

relay, so any change in this case 

is not significant 

Furthermore, Parsons adds, "If 

a school sponsors two teams 

there are more opportunities for 

boys and girls. It's a tradeoff for' 

some schools, but if you can have 

more kids participating, that is 

the main idea." 

We have to agree with the 

NJSIAA's rationale for providing 

more opportunities for more 

kids, except for one big factor, 

and this is where we feel the 

NJSIAA is drawing the line a little 

too tight. 

In recent years, Ocean City has 

not had enough boys out for 

swimming to justify separate 

teams. There were always 

enough girls to fill most of the 11 

events, but rarely more than a 

half dozen boys. Most of the other 

co-ed swim teams are in the same 

boat. 

Even given more lead time by 

the NJSIAA regarding this 

change of venue, Ocean City 

probably would not have been 

able to muster the necessary 

numbers for separate teams this 

year. 

Still, under new coach Curt 

Nath, the numbers are improving 

for boys as well as girls. 

"It's too late to change anything 

for this year," says Ocean City's 

athletic director Paul LeFever. 

"We'll review it at the end of the 

year."

Nath feels the ruling is totally 

unfair and we agree with him 

wholeheartedly, 

"If we split, we'd lose both 

ways," he says. "Right now the 

girls swim together in the relays, 

and they'll compete in the 

Hackneys and the CAL meet as a 

girls relay team, so I feel they 

should be allowed to compete in 

the states." 

We don't feel the NJSIAA has 

made a real strong case, say 

nothing of possible implications 

with Title IX, which is intended 

to provide equal opportunities for

keep the season alive for her 

when she comes back. As Mr. 

Baruffi said, it's one game at a 

time. We have to go into every 

game with intensity." 

Buena, which has returned to 

the CAL National Conference 

this year after two years in the 

American Conference, may not 

be the cream of the crop, but 

Ocean City went after the Lady 

Chiefs with- a vengeance. 

Rybicki set the tempo when she 

opened the game with a three 

pointer, and then put back a 

rebound for a 5-0 lead. 

The Lady Chiefs cut the lead to 

5-4, but that was as close as they 

could get. 

Jenny Williams scored off an 

assist from Kaitlyn DuRoss, and 

Rybicki closed the first quarter 

with a bucket inside off another 

assist from Kaitlyn DuRoss. 

Buena scored 30 seconds into 

the second quarter, but that was 

all as Ocean City ran off 18 unanswered 

points. . 

Lawlor and Larsen added four 

points each to that run, and 

Treen went on a tear with three 

straight steals and six- straight 

points to close the first half. 

Treen's points came on a coastto-coast 

breakaway, another fast 

break on a slick pass from 

Kaitlyn DuRoss, and a jumper off 

another feed from Kaitlyn 

DuRoss. 

Holding a 33-6 lead at the half, 

Lawlor opened the third quarter 

with a jumper off an assist from 

Jenny Williams and Rybicki 

added another trey off another 

assist from Williams. ; 

Shannon Netherby came, off the 

bench and picked up three quick 

rebounds, and then closed the 

quarter with a basket inside off 

an incredible pass from Kaitlyn 

DuRoss. 

"Kaitlyn DuRoss did a great job 

getting the ball to the girls 

inside," Baruffi said, "She had a 

lot of nice assists, and Kristen 

Gibb also did a nice job of setting 

up other people." 

DuRoss had a game high of five 

assists, and Gibb had two more. 

"We've been getting better at 

handling the ball," Rybicki 

• added. "Everyone has stepped up 

• and we're playing great for now." 

Ocean City closed out the game 

^with a run of six points from

Perhaps the NJSIAA should 

have announced its intentions,

The rationale, as Parsons says, 

is to provide more opportunities,

isn't happening.

Raider boys, girls win 4x800 relays at Haverford 


; Ocean City Sentinel 

The winter track state relay 

championships are scheduled for 

this Saturday at Princeton, and 

last Friday, Jan. 10, Ocean City- 

High School's boys and girls each 

captured first place in their 

respective 4 x 800 relays at a 

meet at Haverford College. 

For the girls, sophomore Allie 

Moreland ran the fastest split in 

the 4 x 800 with junior Brenda 

Briney and freshman Colleen 

-.Spurlock running the opening 

Riegs, and freshman Brittany 

Sedberry on the anchor for a 

combined winning time of 

10:21.7. 

Jim Dugan anchored the boys 

winning 4 x 800 team with a split 

of 2:06. Erik Geisinger, Mike 

Long and Brian McMahon ran 

the three opening legs. 

McMahon also took third place 

in the 1600 meters with a time of 

4:53.19. 

For the Lady Raiders, Sedberry 

took first place in the 3200 

meters with Briney second, and 

Allie Moreland took second in the 

1600. 

Sophomore Leslie Robinson set 

a new indoor track school record 

in the shot with a throw of 33 feet, 

five inches. The previous school 

record of 30 feet was set by Lora 

Stutzman in 1999. 

The school's outdoor record of 

38-5 was set in 1992 by Ayanna 

Reed. 

Looking ahead to the state 

relays this weekend the bad news 

is that senior John Richardson 

has been sidelined with pneumonia, 

according to coach Bill 

Moreland. Richardson did not

OUTDOORS 

Hunting, fishing decline; 

i-once there wasn't such a 

paranoia about guns 

A pattern has been evolving 

regarding the downslide in the 

numbers of future fishermen and 

hunters. License sales are up in 

| most states, but the rate of 

^'increase is generally tabbed at 

about one half the percentage of 

the population increase each 

year. Hunting and fishing participation 

is growing, but only about 

half as fast as needed just to, keep 

up with the population growth. 

Some may consider the decline a 

good thing. We have frequently 

heard expressed the thought that 

the fewer hunters and fishermen 

there are, the more room there 

will be for those who are left. 

h Lesser numbers may cut down 

competition for space, but as 

fewer hunters and fishermen 

ante up for licenses, there is less 

money for fish and game management 

and land

acquisition and 

lesss'support for 

lobbying- • efforts 

when hunters and" 

fishermen come 

ûnder attack. The 

' past few years 

have shown how 

vulnerable gun 

owners, hunters 

and fishermen 

are to attacks by 

the anti's\ 

What causes the 

decline in the 

numbers of young outdoor enthusiasts? 

It's a simple question, but 

there is no simple answer. 

Times have changed. "Life is no 

f longer simple. Modern technolo- 

' gy has given us TV, video games 

and scores of other ways for 

youngsters to spend free time. 

Rural America is now urban 

America. Urban sprawl has taken 

away much opportunity for 

youngsters to enjoy the outdoors. 

School hours, because of regionalization, 

take kids away from 

home for longer periods, leaving 

I'little afternoon time. It used to be 

* a short walk home when school 

closed instead of a long timewasting 

ride on a bus. Longer 

afternoon hours at home after 

school meant more things to do 

under parental supervision and it 

meant' more play time outdoors. 

But there always seemed to be 

adult support for our outdoor 

play and above all adult supervision. 

As a youngster growing up in 

the '30s, I could walk the streets 

în the small town where I lived 

with a .22 rifle, heading for the 

dump to plink at tin cans, or to 

the nearby farm where we could 

target practice. Come hunting 

season, a single barrel shotgun 

replaced the .22 and no one got 

upset when we kids headed for' 

the woods for squirrels or the 

fields for rabbits. 

Everyone in town knew every- 

Lene else, and before the first 

murmur of any transgression, the 

word would get back home, 

where we would face the wrath of 

one parent or the other. There 

was respect for authority, and 

while we. were allowed a lot of 

freedom of expression, there 

were hard-and-fast rules. Rule 

One was violate them and suffer 

consequences. 

The local one-man police force 

operated a diner and would often 

answer calls in his cook's apron. 

|The kids all loved him, but none 

' dared cross him. He was the ultimate 

authority in town. We did 

not know what would happen if 

we got on his wrong side, but we 

knew it would be traumatic, swift 

and sure. 

As I recall, there was a lot of 

muttering about the size of his 

shoes and what would happen if 

he decided to-administer justice 

I to our posteriors with them. That 

^he never once did to anyone mat- 

. tered little* We just knew if we 

crossed Sam by doing something 

wrong and he found out, we'd get 

punished. Right now. He may 

have ruled by fear, but his evenhandedness 

overshadowed the 

fright and instead, we came to 

love, respect and in many ways 

honor this disciplinarian. A Sam 

today would long since have been 

stripped of his duties and censured 

for his methods. 

But they worked. 

Guns did not create the paranoia 

they do today. Kids did not 

kill each other with guns and 

they did not take them to school. 

They were for practical use. 

They provided food for the table 

and were a source of recreation 

as we plinked away with .22 

shorts at targets. It was not a 

crime for a teenager to buy 

ammunition for target practice 

or for hunting, 

because that is 

what it was 

used for. 

Every kid car^ 

ried a knife. No 

one cut people 

with them. 

Instead, knives 

carved sticks, 

cut initials into 

fence posts and 

pared apples. 

Teachers and 

parents knew 

we had knives, 

and there was no fear because we 

did. 

Today's culture creates problems 

as well. Single-parent families 

and households where both 

parents are working often leaves 

little time for them to direct 

youngsters into wholesome outdoor 

activity. Many of today's 

parents did not fish and hunt, so 

it is almost a given their kids will 

not be directed to activities of 

which parents know little. 

In an effort to reach more 

youngsters, states set up special 

youth hunts and license-free 

family fishing days. Ducks 

Unlimited has created a 

Greenwing program with volunteers 

providing educational 

activities aimed at creating interest 

in outdoor sport. Other organizations 

recognize the need for 

getting kids involved and new 

programs are evolving. When 

they get off the. ground, they 

work. ' 

To aid the cause of working 

mothers and single mothers with 

kids, workshops are set up to 

educate Mom and the girls into 

the nuances of hunting, fishing 

and the outdoors. Hunter safety 

education, mandatory in all 

states, gives young hunters a 

good grounding in gun safety and 

basic hunting skills. ' 

State fish and game commissions 

provide opportunities for 

youngsters to learn. Parents; 

clubs and organizations are 

needed to provide the volunteer 

base t$ make the programs work. 

Ways have to be found to filter 

information into schools where 

much of what youngsters learn is 

driven by anti-outdoors oriented 

agendas. If you doubt that, talk to 

kids. Look at what they are reading 

and watching on TV to see the 

subtle anti messages fed them 

daily. It means becoming more 

active individually.. Clubs must 

also create more youth and family 

oriented activities. 

It has to start somewhere. How 

long has it been since you took a 

kid fishing or hunting? Today is 

not too soon, if we are to have a 

tomorrow for our outdoor sports. 

A tremendous outdoor heritage 

helped shape America and it can 

only be handed down by those 

who are active and engaged. If 

we do not get to the youngsters 

soon, some day there will be no 

heritage to hand down and no one 

to hand it down to.

Mainland boys hold off Hammonton 

By ROB STACCH1N1 


According to Whitey Haak, his 

boys' win over Hammonton Jan. 

7 didn't come easy. By halftime, 

the Hammonton boys (2-3) were 

clearly outplaying the Mustangs 

(5-4) and led the' game by four 

points. In the second half, 

Mainland was forced to look for 

strength off their bench. They 

found it. 

The assistance came by way of 

Todd Morey, Chad Meyers, and 

Bilty Care. Add that to some 

steadfast free throw shooting and 

there is a Mustang team that is 

starting off strong hi the 2003 

season. 

From the opening tip-off, 

Hammonton played better than 

their 2-3 record and showed 

more aggression out on the court. 

Their feistiness caught the 

Mustangs a little off guard. 

"We expected it to be a pretty 

good game," said 6-2 forward 

Eric Smallwood. "Our intensity 

was down a little tonight. We 

needed to be more intense. 

Overall, this wasn't our best 

effort; we're capable of doing 

better." 

"I expected that they 

(Hammonton) play hard," said 

Haak, "but I didn't expect them 

to play as well as they did. In the 

first half, they played about as 

hard as they Could play. I thought 

they did a great job." 

Hammonton not only demonstrated 

inside prowess, but also 

the confidence to make the outside 

shot. The Mustangs found 

themselves uncharacteristically 

rushing shots and mis-timing 

passes. After finishing the first 

quarter at 15-15, Mainland soon 

saw the result of their errors in a 

27-23 score at halftime. At that 

point, it was obvious that 

Hammonton just wanted the 

game more. " : "•''•"' 

At- -ithe' : halftime - buzzerj; 

Hammohton's home crowd let 

them know what a fine job" they 

did in shutting Mainland down. 

However, there was still another 

half to be played. 

"I told the kids that we were 

going out there in the second half 

and playing them man-to-man," 

Haak said. "I thought we were 

going to find out one way or 

another if we were better than 

them. If we couldn't beat them by 

more than four points playing 

man-to-man, we didn't deserve to 

win. Hammonton only scored 11 

points hi the seeond half; obviously 

our kids responded." 

Coming out in the third quarter, 

Mainland felt the absence of 

starter Dan Cappelluti. Without 

their speedy guard, the Mustangs 

were unable to score for the first 

two and a half minutes. However, 

Eric Smallwood broke their 

slump with a lay-up and helped 

his team outscore Hammonton 9- 

7 by the end of the quarter. • 

"We settled down and started 

playing our game," added 

Smallwood. "We stopped doing 

the things they were trying to 

make us do out there. In the first 

half, we were rushing and not 

really getting into our offense. 

After a while, we relaxed a little 

bit and got our offense going." 

By the fourth quarter, Mainland 

looked like a completely different 

basketball-team. Their diligent 

passing forced Hammonton to 

spread out their. defense and 

allow better scoring opportunities. 

"I think our press was the difference," 

Smallwood said about . 

Mainland's success in the second 

half. "Our press looked good 

against other teams and it looked 

good tonight. We were able to get 

some'turnovers out of it and I 

think that gave us the advantage." 

The Mustang head coach 

agreed with his starting forward. 

Although his boys drastically 

outscored Hammonton in the 

' fourth quarter, they also held 

Robert J. Gonzalez/Ocean City bentinel 

Mainland's Chad Meyers (No. 24) looks to pass at the top of the key in last 

week's game against Hammonton. Meyers was one of the key players off 

the bench for the Mustangs in the game. 

their opponent to four points in 

that same period. 

"We were more focused and 

played harder defensively," Haak 

said. 

After all was said and done, 

Haak credited the victory to the 

performance of certain individuals. 

He felt his bench was the 

extra advantage they needed in 

such a close-knit battle. 

"I thought Billy Care gave us a 

great effort off the bench," said 

Haak. "He is really developing 

and is going to be a good ball 

player. Chad Meyers gave us a 

really good defensive effort. 

Todd Morey came in for a few 

minutes and handled the ball 

well. Those guys who came off 

the bench really did a good job 

for us and helped keep us in the 

game. 

After their big win at 

Hammonton, Mainland went on 

to win at Vineland by the score of 

50-38. Despite going 2-0 on the 

road, the Mustangs dropped their 

fourth loss of the season to 

Oakcfest on Monday, 60-42.

Martin Luther King Day 

By POOR RICHARD 

Martin Luther King Jr. is famous for his actions of non-violence in 

the cause of racial justice. 

Far less remembered is bis application of non-violent principles to 

conflicts among nations. In the last years of his life Dr. King often 

protested the Vietnam War and worked for peace. 

During this holiday weekend in honor of his birth, let us reflect on 

this truth so well taught by Martin Luther King: 

Without peace there is no justice - 

And without justice there is no peace. 

Richard C. Wingate 

lighthouse Shore Ministries 

Spindrift 

By Joe Gilbert 

No sacrifice too great 

It occurred in a church in the 

heartland of America. After the 

Sunday evening hymns, the pastor 

of the church slowly stood up, 

walked over to the pulpit and, 

before he gave his sermon for the 

evening, briefly introduced a 

guest minister who was present 

that evening.. In the introduction, 

the pastor told the congregation 

that the guest minister was one of 

his dearest childhood friends and 

that he wished him to take a few 

moments to greet those present 

and share whatever he felt would 

be appropriate for the service. 

With that, an elderly man 

stepped up to the pulpit and 

began to speak. He began, "A 

father, his son and a friend of his 

son were sailing off the Pacific 

Coast," he began, "when a fast 

approaching storm blocked any 

attempt to get back to the shore. 

The waves were so high that even 

though the father was an experienced 

sailor, he could not keep 

the boat upright and the three 

were swept into the ocean as the 

boat capsized." 

The elderly man hesitated for 

just a moment, making eye contact 

with two teenagers who 

were, for the first time since the 

service began, looking somewhat 

interested" in his story. 

•?The mioigtex continued..with his 

story. "Grabbing a rescue line, 

the father had to make the most 

excruciating decision of his life 

... to which boy would he throw 

the other end of the life line? He 

had but seconds to make the 

decision. The father knew that 

his son was a Christian and he 

also definitely knew that his son's 

friend was not. The agony of his 

decision could not be matched by 

the torrent of the waves. 

As the father yelled out, "I love 

you, son!" he threw out the lifeline 

to his son's friend. 

By the time the father had 

pulled the friend back to the capsized 

boat, his son had disappeared 

beneath the raging 

swells; his body was never recovered." 

By this time, the two teenagers 

were sitting up straight in the 

pew, anxiously waiting for the 

next words to come out of the elderly 

minister's mouth. "The 

father," he continued, "knew his 

son would step into eternity with 

Jesus; he could not bear the 

thought of his son's friend' stepr 

ping into an eternity without 

Jesus. Therefore, he sacrificed 

his son to save the son's friend. 

So great is the love of God that 

He did the same for us. Our 

Heavenly Father sacrificed His 

only Begotten Son that we could 

be saved. I urge you to accept His 

offer to rescue you and to take 

hold of the lifeline He is throwing 

out to you in this service." 

With that, the elderly man 

turned and sat down in the pew 

as silence filled the sanctuary; 

The pastor again walked slowly 

to the pulpit and delivered a brief 

sermon, with an invitation at the 

end of the service. No one 

responded to the appeal.

Within minutes after the service 

ended, the two teenagers 

were at the elderly man's side. 

"That was a nice, story," politely 

stated one of the boys, "but I 

don't think it was very realistic 

for a father to give up his only 

son's life in the hope that the 

other boy would eventually 

become a Christian." 

"Well, you've got a point there," 

the man replied, glancing down 

at his worn bible. A big smile 

broadened his face and he once 

again looked up at the boys and 

said, "It sure isn't very realistic, 

is it? But I'm standing here today 

to tell you that story gives me a 

glimpse of what it must have 

been like for God to give up His 

Son for me. You see, I was that 

father and your pastor was my 

son's friend." 

Just something, to ponder ... 

something to pray about.

UNDERSTANDING 

EVERYTHING ISN'T NECESSARY 

There are so many things 

all around us that we may 

not understand. For 

example, it may be difficult 

to understand how radio 

waves or television pictures 

can go through the air, or 

how we can be anywhere in 

the world and withdraw 

money from our local bank 

account. We may not understand 

how everything works, 

we just know that it does. We 

don't usually ponder or worry 

about how various things 

happen, we just expect that 

whenever we turn on our 

television or use our bank 

cards, they will work. There may be many things about our 

religious beliefs or the Bible that we do not understand. We just 

know that the Bible is God's word, and we believe that God is 

faithful to His word. Trusting in God develops faith, and faith 

brings love. God is love, and although we may not understand 

everything around us, our Heavenly Father has everything under 

control 

To be conscious that you are ignorant is 

a great step to knowledge. 

- Benjamin Disraeli 

To be wise you must first have reverence for'the Lord. 

If you know the Holy One, you have understanding.

PUBLIC NOTICE 

PLEASE be advised that on 

Wednesday, January 29, 2003 at 

7:00 p.m. a hearing will be held 

before the Ocean City Zoning Board 

of Adjustment. The hearing will be 

held in the Municipal Court Building, 

821 Central Avenue, Ocean City, 

New Jersey. The applicant proposes 

to construct a new two-story, two- 

family dwelling at 917 Bay Avenue, 

and more commonly known as Lot 

11; Block 908 on the current City of 

Ocean City tax map. 

Please be advised that the refer- 

enced site is located within the OB- 

Office and Bank Zone. 

Since two-family dwellings are not a 

permitted use, the applicant shall 

seek a use variance from the Zoning 

Board of Adjustment. The applicant 

shall also seek a front yard set back 

variance wherein the proposed build- 

ing is located 14.58' from the Bay 

Avenue right-of-way line as com- 

pared to the 30.0' required front yard 

set back. The applicant shall also 

seek side yard set back variances so 

as to allow a 3.0' side yard at a bay 

window on the northeasterly side of 

the structure and to allow a 3.16' set 

back for a stair tower on the south- 

westerly side of the structure. The 

proposed set backs are compared to 

the required 4.0' set back. As a result 

of the requested reduced set back at 

the bay window and stair tower on 

the structure, the applicant will pro- 

vide only 6.16' aggregate side, yard 

set back at that location, however the 

majority of the structure will comply 

with ths 8.0' aggregate side yard set 

back requirement. The applicant, 

however, shall seek an aggregate 

side yard set back variance. The 

applicant proposes a structure which 

will have its roof peak located 31.45" 

above the centerline roadway eleva- 

tion. 

While the structure will comply with 

the allowable building heights within 

the neighboring residential zone, the 

allowable building height wiihin the 

Office and Bank Zone is 27.0'. 

Accordingly, the applicant shall seek 

a building height variance. So long 

as the applicant is aware, only the 

variances listed above are required 

for the project. 

Should !he Board determine that 

additional variances and design 

waivers are required, the applicant 

shall seek those variances and/or 

design waivers during the course of 

the hearing. Maps and other docu- 

.merits related to this matter will be 

available ion inspection during nor- 

mal working hours in the office of the 

Zoning Board Secretary at least-'10 

days prior to the meeting date. Any 

interesied party may appear at said 

hearing and participate therein in 

accordance with the rules of the

RELIEF, BULK VARIANCE RELIEF 

AND SITE PLAN APPROVAL 

BEFORE OCEAN CITY ZONING 

BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT 

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that 

Magton, Inc., owner, has made appli- 

cation to the Zoning Board of 

Adjustment of the City of Ocean City 

for use variance relief, bulk variance 

relief and site plan approval to permit 

the applicant to demolish an existing 

motel building at 1001 Atlantic 

Avenue, Lot 1, Block 1001, City of 

Ocean City, County of Cape May and 

State of New Jersey, in order to 

replace it with a new 12 unit 

motel/hotel building. 

As far as the owner/applicant is 

aware, it requires use variance 

approval because two proposed 

handicapped accessible units in the 

new building are slightly in excess of 

500sf, the required maximum for 

hotel/motel units, and bulk variance 

relief is required for lot width and 

area, as well as front yard setback, 

side yard setback and rear yard set- 

back. Preliminary and final site plan 

approval is also being sought This 

proposal will remove an outdated, 

small, motel building currently asso- 

ciated with the Impala Motel, in order 

to replace it with what the 

owner/applicant perceives as a sig- 

nificantly more attractive and aes- 

thetically pleasing building which will _ 

provide more attractive and servicea- 

ble transient units to the Hotel/Motel 

Zone, the first significant new con- 

struction of hotel/motel units of that 

character in that zone in many years. 

In the event the Zoning Board of 

Adjustment should determine during 

its review that any other variances 

and/or waivers are required, howev- 

er, the applicant would seek those 

variances and/or waivers at the time 

of the hearing. 

A public hearing in this matter will be 

held by the Zoning Board on : 

Wednesday, January 29, 2003, at 

7:30 PM, in the Municipal Court 


. City, New Jersey. If you have any 

comments on the application, you 

may attend the meeting and be 

heard.

application are on file in the Office of 

the Secretary of ihe Zoning Board of 

Adjustment, at the Zoning and 

Planning Building, 15th Street and

Raiders fall to Lower Cape May, win two on road 

Continued from page Bl 

Wright took a steal all the wayback 

for two more points. 

Fighting fire with fire, Ocean 

City tried to run against Lower's 

press, and the press also began to 

take a toll as both Wright and 

Palmer were in foul trouble. 

Ruffing opened the fourth quarter 

with four points to give Lower 

a 40-31 lead, and Ocean Cityfought 

back as Martin 

Markowski and Tim Brunetti 

both scored off offensive 

rebounds. Rolls scored inside off 

an assist from Brunetti, and 

added a free throw to cut the lead 

to 40-36 with 4:26 left in the 

game. 

The intensity level was sky high 

now, and both teams had trouble 

taking care of the ball. 

"I don't think Coach Bruno or 

myself were particularly happy 

with the play on the floor," 

Holden said. "Both teams got 

very sloppy at times. It wasn't 

one of the best played games 

we've had." 

Bruno was in accord. 

"It was a high intensity kind of 

game, and it was really our first 

one of that nature," Bruno said. 

"These are the kinds of games 

where you hope you learn." 

Lower dropped back into a 

zone,- and patiently worked its 

offense forcing Ocean City to foul 

down the stretch. 

Bete, who had a game high of 25 

points, including eight for eight 

from the foul line, finished off the 

Raiders with his foul shooting in 

the final two minutes. 

Palmer led the Tigers off the 

boards with eight rebounds. 

Phil Schaffer and Rolls led 

Ocean City with 10 points each, 

jand Schaffer had a game high of 

five assists. Rolls had a game 

high of 10 rebounds, including 

eight off the defensive glass. 

O.C. wins JV tilt 

In the junior varsity game, 

Ocean City defeated Lower Cape 

May 58-49. Rich Coccadrilli led 

with 19, and Josh Davidson had 

11. Brenrian Decimer had six, Ed 

i4£ 

Paone, Matt Troum and Tony 

Belton added five points each, 

and Disston Vanderslice had four 

points. 

O.C. wins two on the road 

Ocean City sandwiched two 

road wins around the loss to 

Lower to improve to 5-4 through 

Monday of this week. 

Last Thursday, Jan. 8, the 

Raiders hung on in the face of a 

Buena comeback to win 60-58, 

and on Monday of this week at 

Millville they won 61-51. 

Against Buena, Ocean City took 

a 36-26 lead at the half, based on 

22 points in the second quarter, 

but die Chiefs fought back with 

19 points in the fourth quarter to 

keep it close. 

"We had an incredible second 

quarter," Bruno said. "Martin 

Markowski played his best game 

of the year. He was running the 

floor well, and the kids fed him 

the ball in the right spots." 

Markowski had 10 points, and 

Jack Nixon led with a career high 

of 16 points. Phil Schaffer added 

13 points, including two 3-pointers, 

and Rolls had seven. 

Buena's ace Andrew Mack 

returned after an injury and led 

all scorers with 20 points, including 

four 3-pointers. Buena had a 

total of seven treys. 

On Monday of this week, Ocean 

City got a career high of, 17 points 

from Phil Schaffer, and played a 

steady game to turn back 

Millville. 

Campo and Brunetti had eight 

points each, and Matt Schaffer, 

Rolls and Markowski had six 

points each. 

Absegami here Friday 

Led by high scoring Lamar 

Wright, Absegami comes to town 

for a 7 p.m. game on Friday night 

when the Raiders look to 

improve their 5-4 record. Next 

Tuesday, Jan. 21, Ocean City is

Freshman Sarah Cohen leads Mainland 

girls over Vineland with 19 points 

By ROB STACCHINI 


When the Vineland girls came 

to Mainland Regional last 

Thursday night, they could not 

foresee their frustration in the 

near future. Even worse, they did 

not know that the frustration 

would come in the form of a 5' 1" 

freshman by the name of Sarah 

Cohen. 

The Mustang point guard is the 

newest protege in a long line of 

point guards that have come out 

of the Mainland girls basketball 

program, the latest having been 

Shaiiiie McLaughlin, who is now 

pla'ying at LaSalle. 

Cohen showed her foes from 

Vineland that age really is only a 

number when she scored 19 

points, a career high. As a team, 

the Lady 'Stangs controlled the 

boards and out-shot their opponent 

from the free throw line en 

route to a 56-38 win. 

"I thought we came out with a 

lot of intensity," Geisinger said, 

describing how his girls were 

able to come up with the comfortable 

win. "We really put a lot of 

pressure on them. We don't try to 

do a lot of fancy things; we just 

try to apply defensive pressure. 

Tonieht it was snrwv»ccfiil " 

Successful indeed. The 

Mainland girls were able to put 

up 15 points in the first quarter 

while holding Vineland to only 

sis points. Alyssa Strumolo 

pitched in five points while 

Cohen got warmed up with four 

of her own in the period. 

"I was trying tb work at the 

team game tonight," the modest 

Cohen commented. "If I had the 

chance to take the.shot, I did." 

Although both teams came into 

the game with similar records, it 

was obvious who held the reins. 

Mainland continued to outscore 

their opponent in the second half 

by putting up another 17 points 

while Vineland could muster only - 

nine. The Scoreboard at halftime 

read 32-15, Mainland's favor. 

"We knew they were very 

i 'nig inside," the Mustang head 

' i h said of his opponents. "We 

i : able to match up with them 

I i»ii!e. We took that away and so 

II i were left to work on our 

ii i ds. I thought our forwards 

ilnl a really good job on the 

i le, Katie (Komo), Emily 

11 •! Fe), and the help we had off 

i 1 liench." 

I >c spite their expectations, 

* I i iland, with the help of Wolfe 

i I Komo, dominated the boards. 

Their timely passing and precise 

ball handling wore Vineland 

down. The Fighting Clan seemed 

outmatched on the court. 

"We thought they were going to 

be a tough team," said Cohen. 

"Also, we knew they would be 

aggressive and physical, especially 

on the boards and inside." 

"I basically mentioned two 

things," Geisinger said about his 

halftime talk with the girls. "One, 

come out with the same intensity 

as the first half; two, please make 

sure that you look for pressure. I 

expected them to come at us with 

something different. As it turned 

out, they came out man-to-man 

and we were prepared." 

The Lady 'Stangs not only 

monopolized the boards and field 

goal percentage, they also held 

their own at the free throw line. 

They hit 50. percent from the line 

while Vineland lingered at a dismal 

22 percent. 

Mainland appeared superior to 

Vineland in every aspect of the 

game. Even though it is still 

early in the season, playoff talk 

has already started in the 

Mainland bleachers. 

"Well, we have made it 18 years 

in a row," Geisinger said while 

smiling. "That's our only goal, 

right now. We have two more 

wins to go on that but certainly 

this was one that could have went 

either way so that was a good one 

•for us." 

The young Sarah Cohen is 

enjoying her first year in varsity 

basketball. While most girls her 

age are still playing freshman 

ball, she is starting for a top 

notch varsity program and loving 

it. . - . " • . • 

"I think we're starting to gel," 

Cohen said about her team. "We 

have a couple girls injured. The 

fact that we can win two without 

a starter and one of our stronger 

bench girls really says something 

about our team and how strong 

we are." 

Last Monday night, the 

Mainland girls traveled to 

Oakcrest for an inter-conference 

battle. Unfortunately, the Lady 

'Stangs dropped a heart breaker 

by the score of 32-31.

OCHS Welcomes Dr. Savio 

OCHS is proud to 

welcome Dr. Savio to its teaching 

staff. Dr. Savio has an interesting 

and extensive background. He 

graduated from Rutgers University 

with degrees in Spanish and 

Computer Science. He then joined 

"the analyst ranks of Atlantic 

Electric (now Conectiv). There, he 

became the youngest senior 

analyst. In 1995 the company was 

forced to downsize; as a result Dr. 

Savio resigned his position and 

decided to teach. This decision was 

influenced by his wife, who was 

receiving her Special Ed degree 

from Rowan, and then began 

teaching at Mainland 

Teaching Spanish, 

Business, and Computer Science, 

Dr. Savio first taught at Holy Spirit 

High School. His six daily classes 

were combined with the Alternative 

Route Program, which requires 

mentorteachingand approximately 

200 hours of classroom experience. 

He was recruited during the 

semester break of the 1995-1996 

school year to teach Spanish in 

Atlantic City. 

Dr. Savio was then a 

technology coordinator at 

Hamilton Township, where he was 

also involved in the ETTC grant 

program with Richard Stockton 

State College. The ETTC brought 

technology into the classroom, and 

provided access to virtual field trips 

and a computer software resource 

center. The center would store and 

sample software previews and 

technology magazines for teachers 

to tree in the classroom. Dr. Savio 

THEBIIOWS 

Kessleman, helped Atlantic County 

Vocational School acquire a threeyear 

grant, which was housed at 

Stockton. 

Dr. Savio then became the 

first ETTCdirectorfor Cumberland 

County in July 1997. He established 

the distance learning lab, procured 

the equipment, and obtained the 

computer software resource center.

Lord of the Rings: A Towering Film 

The Lord of the Rings: 

The Two Towers (TTT) is the 

second installment of the Lord of 

the i?£ngy trilogyby J.R.R. Tolkien, 

and picks up where Fellowship of 

the Ring left off. Frodo and Sam 

arestilltryingtogetto Mordor, and 

the three remaining members of the 

fellowship (Gimli the dwarf, Legolas 

the elf, and Aragorn the ranger), are 

chasing the ores who took the 

hobbits Merry and Pippin. Frodo 

and Sam capture Gollum, a 

schizophrenic creature following 

them. They force him to lead them 

toMordor. Gollum is theprevions 

owner of the ring, and calls it his 

"precious." Meanwhile, Merry and 

Pippin escape the ores, and head 

into a nearby forest. There they 

meetTreebeard, an Ent, or shepherd 

of the trees. They convince him 

and the other Ents to attack 

Saraman's fortress at Isengard, 

because their forests are being cut 

down. At the same time, Aragorrt, 

Gimli, and Legolas go to King 

Theoden after looking for Merry 

and Pippin. They join him and his 

army at Helm's Deep, and fight for 

survival against ten thousand ores. 

The Two Towers is an 

excellentniovie,butdoesn'tfollow 

the book closely. The scenes flick 

from one part to another, which 

becomes confusing. J.R.R. 

Tolkien's book has the first half 

devoted to Aragorn, Gimii, and 

Legolas's journey; the second half 

talks about Frodo and Sam's 

journey to Mordor to destroy the 

One Ring of Sauronr Also, if you 

did not read the book, you might 

confuse Saruman and Sauron, two 

of the bad guys. Gimli was changed 

into a dwarf who made jokes the 

whole movie, even in important 

battle scenes. The creators of the 

movie also added parts, like a scene 

where Frodo and Sam fight, and 

anotherwhere elves comehelp fight 

for Helm's Deepr when they are 

Top 10 Unheard Albums 

This is my way to showcase 

bands who don't get much video time

disagree: good for you. You're entitled 

to your own opinion. Idon'tyeEat

don't yell at me. Sounds good. Now, 

on with the countdown. 

1.Jeff Buckley Grace- Simply an 

astoundingfybeautifulalbum. The only 

imperfection that I can find is the feet 

that my copy skips on song number 

seven, and thatcan be fixed. I've talked 

enough about this record in the past, 

so we'll moveon. 

2.Ryan Adams Gold- A rather new 

recotd. Beautiful acoustic strumming 

with low-fi, scratchy vocals on top. 

Ryan Adans can make you cry with 

the best of them, and when he rocks, 

he really rocks. Of course, not to be 

confused with ftyan Adams. 

S.WSco Yankee Hotel Foxtrot- WiJco 

started out in 1995 as a band in the 

overiooked"ak-countty" genre, rissig 

from the ashes of Uncle Tupelo. By 

this release in 2QG!Ttheyhadmoved so 

faraway from thatyou have to wonder 

if it's the same band. This is another 

great record wiin enough melody to

supposed to be a thousand miles 

away. The biggest mistake not 

contained in the book was when 

Frodo almost gives the ring to a 

Nazgul, a former king turned 

Ringwraith. AsGandalfsaid, the 

only way for Frodo to succeed in 

destroying the ring is if Sauron 

thinks it is still lost. In the movie, 

Frodo stands right in front of the 

Nazgul and waves the ring at it. If 

Sauron doesn't know about the 

ring now, I'll be really surprised. 

Despite the flaws, TTT 

has some incredible scenes. The 

computer"created battle at Helm's 

Deep was really cool, with 

thousands of ore soldiers 

marching up to the walls of a fort 

dug into the mountain. Also, the 

scene where Gollum is talking to 

himself is a strong part of the 

movie. The camera switches 

views between his dual 

personalities, and the computergenerated 

creature is very lifelike.

8.INXS Kick-Who doesn't have a 

soft spot for 80's pop? This is the 

band that came up with such 

memorable songs as "New 

Sensation," or "Need You 

Tonight"? Such a guilty pleasure, 

but at the same time such an 

amazingrecord, 

9,Ours Distorted Lullabies-Just like 

Starsailor. Jimmy Gnecco and 

company tear out all the stops for 

this riveting collection. 

10.Mad Season A bove-Past Alice In

for any fan of the Seattle music 

scene from the early 90*s. Mike 

McCready's guitar work is at the 

sametime fiery and laid-back. 1 feel 

someof his best work. Layne Staley 

(RJ.P.) has never had such a chance 

to shine vocally, and indulges in 

every minute of it

He was then hired as a 

business administrator for Egg 

Harbor City in February 1999.Unfortunately 

the budget was defaulted 

after 2 l A years and the 

Board cut his position in half to a 

part-time administrative position. 

In 2001 he resigned, and was hired 

later that year by the Salem Country 

Vocational district. After completing 

a doctorate in educational 

leadership at Rowan, he returned 

to teaching. 

One of Dr. Savio's goals 

is to stay teaching, and remain at 

OCHS while he is needed. He 

sincerely believes that leadership 

begins in the classroom, and 

teaching is the best way to 

understand leadership. He hopes 

to help students learn, and to 

inspire them to be good students 

while remaining an ally. He is 

dedicated to the philosophy of 

resolving problems with students. 

He also attempts to assist to their 

needs before resorting to other 

disciplinary measures, such as 

parent contact. Dr. Savio hopes to 

be teaching for many years. - 

Anneliese Kuemmerle 

The sound in the movie 

is also very good. When Aragorn 

entersthe king's chamber, you hear 

the door open from the back of the 

theater, then the camera pans as the 

sound moves to the side and then 

the front. The camera and sound 

stops on Aragorn for a powerful 

moment. In the caves behind 

Helm's Deep, you hear children 

talking and crying from ail sides as 

you watch women and children 

crouching or leaning against the 

walls. 

The Two Towers is an 

excellent movie. Vd recommend 

it to anyone, but read the book 

first. It will make much more 

sense, and you will get a lot more 

out of it. Even with some of the 

flaws, it is a very enjoyable 

movie. It's a little long at almost 

three hours and ends suddenly 

like the first one, but if you enjoy 

this type of movie, go see it 

twice. -Aiex Weisbera

New Year in 

2003. 

Humor With Moo Man 

Auld Lang Whine 

Hiya! I've been away for 

awhile, taking some time off to 

collect my thoughts for the new 

year ahead. 2003... wow. A truly 

momentous year if ever there was 

one. A typical question asked of 

me around this time concerns what 

resolutions I have made. I'm the 

wrong person to ask if you want 

to hear wholesome, humanitarian 

resolutions, tn fact, I don'tliketo 

make resolutions at all. Ispentthe 

majority of 2002 as an apathetic 

slob, so why should I suddenly 

change because a flashing ball 

drops in Times Square? Well, I'm 

exaggerating again. I wasn't 

apathetic- just a slob. Anyway, 

when folks come up to me 

demanding to know what my 

resolutions are, I have some fun 

with'em. I tell them that instead of 

losing weight, I want to gain 75 

pounds in three months. Instead 

of becoming more organized, I will 

purposefully be late for every 

engagement, lose things like my 

car, and wear clothing straight from 

the laundry basket I always say 

thatthere'snothinglikewearinga 

shirt mired with sweat and dirt 

stains. Maybe I'm being cynical 

again, but why do we stress 

changing our ways now? To me, 

March 2 or May 17 are just as good 

dates as any other. On top of all 

this, why do we humans 

continually stress self- 

improvement? Weknowthatabout 

five people in the total U.S. 

population actually have the 

integrity and will power to follow 

through with theirresolutions. It's 

like Tyler Burden says in the 

prophetic and apocalyptic movie 

Fight Club: "self improvement... is 

self-destruction." 

On the business of the 

New Year's celebration, why, oh 

why, is Dick Clark hanging on to 

his job like the Pope? We see the 

man onceayearatNew Year's, while 

he spends the spring, summer, and 

fall in his crypt (True Fact: Dick 

Clarkdiedin 1964). Theman'sbeen 

doing the New Year's celebration 

bit since it was broadcast by smoke 

signals; he's old enough to be 

Father Time himself! Time to hang 

up the microphone, Dick. 

Despite these grievances, 

I don't hate New Year's. Its just 

sort of anticlimactic. From fall on 

we wait for the new year, entering 

the holiday season foil of hope and 

joy. We survive Thanksgiving and 

Christmas, and when we finally 

reach the Big "Night, we raise our 

glasses, count down to zero, and 

yell "HAPPYNEW YEAR!" loud 

enough to raise Julius Caesar's 

corpse. This is when you look 

around for someone to share the 

moment with, butto no avail. That's 

because everyone is already 

asleep. Oh well; mere's always next 

year. 

OCHS Censorship Survey 

A recent conflict has 

erupted in this country this past 

season; two of the major television 

companies, CBS and ABC, aired 

very controversial programs. CBS 

aired the 2002 Victoria's Secret 

Fashion Show, and ABC aired a 

popular reality (or what they call 

reality) show, The Bachelor. Many 

activists condemned the shows 

saying they degraded and 

objectified women. People 

complained that these shows were 

nothing but smut and insulted the 

intelligence of this entire country, 

and many speculated that this 

could be the demise of dignity on 

American television. Which brings 

me to my poll question of the week: 

I asked students at OCHS if they 

thought TV and radio should be 

censored. 

At first the numbers were 

split right down the middle; after 

ten students were polled, there 

were five in favor of censorship, 

and five against it. The people 

most in favor of censorship were 

females in the 11* grade. The main 

argument of this group was that 

there were too many 

impressionable young minds that 

watch TV, and if these children 

were left unsupervised by parents, 

they would definitely be seeing and 

hearing things they shouldn't be. 

They also seemed concerned that 

if there was no censorship, 

television and radio might become 

too vulgar to handle. "If we don't 

regulate the standards, TV would 

probably be unbearable to watch," 

said RaphaelaDiClemente, a junior. 

By the end of the threeday 

survey, after polling 25 

students, freedom prevailed with 

the majority in favor of abandoning 

censorship in TV and radio. The 

anti-censorship voters were mainly 

male, and answered quickly with 

confidence in their voices. When 

met with the argument that young 

kids could be exposed to unfiltered 

television and radio, almost all 

students had the same answer: 

parents should be fully aware of 

what their kids are tuned into. 

"Parents should raise their kids, not 

TV," said John Wallace. 

According to this poll, if 

it were up to the students of OCHS, 

sex, violence, and foul language 

would exist freely on TV and radio.

A Taste Of Things To Come 

The pressing question of 

college plagues themind of most high 

school senior. Many look at college 

as a welcome means of escape, while 

others view the transition with great 

trepidation and fear. Where can we 

turn for answers to the dire questions 

facing us, such as. "Is college food 

any good, or will we starve?" 

Fortunately for us, an 

assembly was put together on 

January 3 with the sole purpose of 

answering these questions. More 

than 20 returning OCHS students 

spoke to the college hopefuls of the 

2003 class. The college freshman 

explained meal plans and housing 

arrangements for higher learning 

ranging in area to Oklahoma. They 

also answered queries concerning 

Internet use and the importance of 

makingfriends. 

All the first semester 

college freshman veterans 

Pressed the importance of time 

management. "No one is riding 

you like in high school, you have 

no one to answer to with grades," 

they explained. Apparently 

remaining attentive to school 

work was the hardest part of the 

transition to college. 

Seniors left the assembly 

with a bit of the trepidation 

removed and a great sense of 

oncoming freedom taking its place.

The degree to which the high school experience is both enjoyable and profitable is directly related 

to the amount of planning devoted to the selection of program and courses. The pattern of 

study pursued will dictate the opportunities available to students upon graduation. Students 

should begin by analyzing their strengths, weaknesses, aspirations, interests, and possible career 

goals. This is a difficult task, but students can lake heart in the fact they do not have to make this 

analysis on their own. The selection of a program of study should involve the student, parents, 

teachers and counselors. Parents and students are encouraged to lean on the professional educators 

at their disposal to provide advice based on the wealth of information and experience to 

which they have access. '

COURSE CODING EXPLANA TION 

Courses that have no designation before or after the title are 

taught at a general level (the only exception to this rule is in English 

where the course number designates all levels except Honors 

andAP). 

Courses that have a CP next to the title are taught at a college preparatory 

level. 

The title "Advanced" or "ADV" may precede or follow some titles 

of courses that are taught at a slightly higher level than CP. These 

courses often have prerequisites that may include prior course 

completion and/or teacher recommendation. 

"Honors" or "HN" is the designation given courses that are included 

in our academic program that are offered to those students 

who seek a highly challenging curriculum and who have demonstrated 

superior achievement. Each course or program has specific 

criteria for entry. These courses receive an extra 20% in 

value when computing a student's weighted GPA and Class Rank.
