A Foul Winter a Boon to Lake Crew Asbury Park Press. Sun. July 30. 1978 C31 eJ BhiiJjl 1 Twin Counties Dieters Reject Liquid Protein WASHINGTON Illness is the main reason why many women discontinued using liquid protein as a method of dieting. A nationwide survey found that 30 percent of the women using liquid protein to lose weight became so ill that they had to see a physician.

The Food and Drug Administration and the Center for Disease Control In Atlanta have blamed liquid protein for the deaths of at least 16 women between the ages of 25 and 44. 'I 4 9 fT "1 11 a OCEAN TOWNSHIP While work crews plowed tons of mow from area streets during February's memorable snow-storms, six men were wading through waist-high drifts on the frozen surface of Deal Lake to clean It up. 4 men make up a erew hlred fey the Deal Lake Com-mission under the federal Comprehensive Employment Training Act program. The main function of the crew is to remove in the lake In a project which began in January and Is scheduled to end Sept. 30.

Michael Muccino of Long Branch, the crew's foreman, has been able to put an academic background in biology and active Interest in conservation to use on the job. He has received cooperation and praise from the seven communities fronting on the lake, which reaches from the Atlantic Ocean in Asbury Park to inland tributaries in Ocean Township and Neptune. "When the project first started, we figured we wouldn't have anything to do in the bad winter weather," Muccino said. But then the storms came, and the men realized that the fray weather afforded them a golden opportunity to do work that would be almost impossible in the summer. Because the lake was frozen, the men were able to walk on the ice along the banks.

"Tree branches covered with ice were almost touching the ground, and others had already fallen off and were laying on the ice," Muccino said. If the crew hadn't come out to remove the dead branches on those white and wild mornings, they would have fallen into the lake and added to its obstructions, he said. Many of the men, including Muccino, had no practical experience in conservation work, and the previously unemployed crew gained a lot of knowledge about a lake they had lived near, but had known little about. The work often Involved back-breaking chores, such as removing tree trunks and appliances from the bottom. The result was a turnover in crew members, particularly during the colder weather.

Despite changes in personnel, the $63,700 project has continued uninterrupted, Muccino said. The crew has toured and Worked along the banks of the lake in Asbury Park, Allen-hurst, Ocean Township, Deal, Interlaken, Loch Arbour and Neptune, the communities which border it. One obstruction they couldn't remove, said Muccino, was a rather large sandbar in the lake off Monmouth Road, near North Edgemere Drive. In February, residents of the West AUenhurst section of the township asked the Deal Lake Commission to remove it. The men tried, Muccino said, but with limited equipment they were able to create a only 6-foot-wide and 3-foot-deep trench though the sandbar to allow some of the meandering water In the area to flow.

"The sandbar is a couple of hundred feet long, and It's completely filled with silt," Muccino said. The silt forming the sandbar was carried to the area by standards on skills in reading, writing and mathematics before receiving a diploma is out of the Senate Education Committee and awaits a vote by the full Senate. The bill would not go Into effect until 1981, when 9th grade students would be given a state-approved basic skills test as a requirement for receiving a diploma. Penal Code Amended TRENTON The amended version of the 212-page penal code reform bill was approved by a vote of 24 to 12, only three votes more than was needed for passage. Among the amendments were the elimination of sanctions against homosexuality, permission for municipalities to create "combat zones" where adults could engage in otherwise Illegal activities, the classification of crimes Into four distinct degrees and the repeal of blue laws.

The Senate also approved a separate bill that would restore capital punishment for premeditated murder and for hiring killers. Rail Manager Asked TRENTON Three Shore area legislators asked state Transportation Commissioner Louis J. Gambaccini to name a manager for Conrail's North Jersey Coast Line. The suggestion was the result of a discussion the legislators conducted with members of the Irate Shore Commuters, Shore Commuters for On Time Service and Commuters Wives, three groups fighting for improved railroad service. -V i- Asbury Park Pret A CETA crew works to open a stream feeding into Deal Lake, Ocean Township.

Abortion Bill Pending TRENTON A bill is pending that would Impose stricter controls in obtaining an abortion. The "informed consent" bill would require a woman's written consent 48 hours prior to the operation. It also would require the woman to be Informed of the possible dangers of the procedure and of alternative choices to having an abortion, and require that the parents of unwed teen-aged girls be notified if their daughter seeks to terminate the pregnancy. Pro-abortionists say the bill is filled with constitutional violations and would arouse legal controversy if passed. Bill on Basic Skills Awaits Senate Vote TRENTON A bill that would require students to meet state and local Harvey Brook, a tributary of the lake, he said.

"The only thing that's going to get rid of that is a dredge," he said, "and we're not equipped for that." Among its accomplishments, the crew built retainer walls from trees it cut down along gouged-out banks on portions of the lake. The walls are protecting the bank from eroding further, Muccino said. An overgrowth of weeds in the lake is controlled by a company hired by the Deal Lake Commission and isn't part of the crew's duties, Muccino said. He praised lakeside communities for their cooperation, which included use of equipment and offices. He particularly praised Ocean Township, and said, "I've been at their garage so much, I feel like a town employee." Muccino said his experience in the CETA program reinforced his interest in conservation work.

He majored in biol- AUGUST 8. Datebook Monmouth County ogy for three years at Monmouth College, but had to drop out for personal reasons. On the job, Muccino said he learned which trees to cut, how to cut them, and how to repair a portion of the lake's flume at Ocean Avenue, Asbury Park. In the beginning, he said the crew didn't share his interests. But recently, he noted that the men began taking residents to task for throwing debris into the lake.

The men also managed to win the support of some herring fishermen in Asbury Park, who were originally against their efforts. "They thought we were going to hurt the lake especially when we lowered its level for a few days," Muccino said. "But they saw the improvements, and they saw us on a regular basis. I think we parted as friends." The Monmouth County Planning Board has recommended a county lake and stream improvement department, and Muccino said he'd like to be a part of such a group if It's ever established. "If half the lakes and streams in the county are half as bad as Deal Lake, there's enough work for permanent jobs for a lot of people," he said.

The crew now Is working on the Wanamassa branch of Deal Lake and in Neptune near Route 66. The crew members are Lawrence Gold and Michael Vignola, here; Harry Newman, Ocean Grove, and Everett Dunbar, Red Bank. South Blacks Discover ATLANTA (AP) Pearl Cleage Lomax grew up in Detroit hearing horror stories from her grandparents about the lynchings and Jim Crow laws they and other blacks had escaped by leaving the South. But when she moved with her husband to this Southern city in 1969, she found a different situation. "I thought It was going to be very rigid, closed and pretty dangerous as well.

When I got here I found that fortunately was not true," she said. St.Poul'j United Methodist Church, Bridge Bay Heod 26th Annual Antique Show Sale. Tues. Aug. 8, 11 a.m.

Ocean County AUGUST J. In fact, Ms. Lomax said, she has not found "that problems of race are more intense here than in Detroit or any other Northern city." A newspaper columnist and the wife of a candidate for the Fulton County Commission, Ms. Lomax is one of many affluent blacks who have moved to the South after living in cities in the North. According to the U.S.

Census Bureau, about 288,000 blacks moved away from the South between 1970 and 1975. During the same time, about 302,000 blacks moved to the South, census figures show. The blacks reversing the migratory trend begun after the Civil War tend to be professionals or white-collar workers, said James Hefner, chairman of the economics department at Morehouse College. "Originally the South was labor-intensive, but it's become quite capital-intensive, meaning an increasing demand for white-collar workers. There's an influx of white-collar blacks back to the South because of the changeover," Hefner said.

The economist said there are fewer opportunities for blue-collar blacks, but even workers are finding Southern cities "more palatable as far as personal relationships go." Tony Axam. a black Atlanta attorney, was born here and received his law degree at Duke University in Durham, N.C. But when he finished school, Axam moved to Dearborn, to work for the Ford Motor Co. Now, he's back in Atlanta. "There's everything you could want in law in Detroit.

It's a real bellwether city for law. But It isn't good to raise a family there. My roots are much stronger here in Atlanta," said Axam, the father of three children. In large Northern Industrial cities, Axam said, "there are two camps white folks living in the suburbs and black folks living in the city. When I go to a shopping center in Detroit, women see me and lock the doors of their cars.

"But in Atlanta, you can talk to each other. It's clear that people are different," he said, "and life is just much AUGUST 17. Jersey Shore Breakfast dub, LAM Diner, Rt. 35 Asbury Circle, 9:15 am. Henry L.

AUGUST 19 Fire Destroys Inn DOVER TOWNSHIP A fire of unknown origin wrecked the 100-year-old Ye Cedar Inn Restaurant. The 3-story wooden building was enveloped by smoke and flames by the time Toms River Fire Companies No. 1 and No. 2 arrived. However, no injuries were reported.

The fire is under investigation. Dover Township Fire Inspector Robert Bartulewicz said the blaze is suspicious because three fires were discovered burning simultaneously in different parts of the restaurant and a gasoline can was found on the property. Porno Raid Nets 16 POINT PLEASANT John C. Holmes, Los Angeles, star of pornographic films, and 15 other persons were arrested at the New Yorker Hair Stylist Salon, 2307 Bridge Ave. They were charged with conspiracy to produce and distribute pornographic films.

Among those charged was the owner of the salon, Louis Argondizza, Brick Township. Holmes and two others, Serena Blaquelourde and Robert Everett, both of New York, were charged with related sexual offenses. Sewer Authority Sued SURF CITY The Borough Council filed suit against the Ocean County Sewerage Authority and Major Construction South Toms River, which had installed a trunk sewer under Long Beach Boulevard between Barnegat Light and the sewage treatment plant here. The authority, while contending with surface water seeping into the sewerage systems of other municipalities, has created a problem of infiltrated surface water here, the borough contends. Child's Killer Held LAKEWOOD Police charged Edward James Davis, 20, Lexington Avenue, with manslaughter in the death of Tijuana Rogers, the infant daughter of Jo-Anne Rogers, also of Lexington Avenue.

Police had called the death of the 15-month-old girl suspicious and conducted an investigation. An autopsy showed she suffered a ruptured liver. Police said Davis is a boyfriend of Mrs. Rogers. Mrs.

Rogers said she called police Tuesday night after she failed to rouse her sleeping daughter. Five years ago, when Davis was 15, he was found guilty of killing a 6-year-old girl by bludgeoning her with a table leg. Police said Davis has served approximately two years of an indeterminate jail term. 2nd Fire Hits Hotel LAKEWOOD A rear storage area and the roof and top floor of the 92-room Malibu Hotel at Madison Avenue and 11th Street were destroyed by a fire. Seventeen guests and two employees were rescued from the burning buildings.

One guest, Regina Levy, 93, was in critical condition with a heart condition. Thirteen persons, 12 of whom are senior citizens, were hospitalized. The cause of the fire has not been determined but fire officials are investigating because this is the second fire at the Malibu. During the first fire, a hall rug on the second floor was found soaked with a flammable liquid and an empty gasoline can was found behind the hotel. I Womens Guild of St.

Jan Douglas once was a fund-raiser for a black research institute and lived in New York, New Jersey, and Ohio before moving to the South. "I came to Atlanta for a meeting one summer and just stayed," said Ms.

Douglas, who now is the director of the city's Community Relations Commission. "Atlanta's just a special town to blacks. There's still a sense of humanity in the black community. They look people in the eye, they stop if someone falls. "Secondly, there is a strong potential for black development.

It's not a city that people have abandoned," Ms. Douglas said. Other Southern cities seem to draw similar reactions. "Living in the South is tremendous as far as 6pace goes, as compared with the concrete cramp in Chicago. Down here you can also have a car.

You need one, in fact. Up there. It'll cost you $5 just to park," said Jim Black, who moved six years ago to Charlotte, N.C. Black, who works as a photographer and for a radio station, said it was difficult for a man of his race to get a job in Chicago. "I'm not a college graduate and up there they seemed to be more degree conscious," said Black, who ran second on a four-man ticket for the Democratic nomination for mayor of Charlotte last year.
