The task force will include members of the state police, as well as police from Neptune and Asbury Park, Zupko said.

Zupko described Washington as a "real heavy hitter." Bom Nov. 30, 1949, the suspect has spent much of his adult life in prison, state officials said.

He said he would discuss matters that aren't covered by the formal grievance appeal process. "They send me a letter seeking a meeting. I'd be happy to sit down with them and discuss any inequities they see. I really don't see that there are any problems, but I'd be happy to sit down with them and talk about it" Many of the concerns Chamberlain raised to the freeholders at their meeting here also were raised at a protest by the guards several months ago. But said Chamberlain, with the support of about 34 other corrections officers in the audience, no progress has been made to address them.

"We're beyond problems. We have parks, and officials say they are in a race with developers to acquire it The freeholders, meeting in Middle-town Township, also addressed a number of other financial matters. They tripled the rates builders and developers will pay for county reviews of subdivision and site plans, for the first time shifting most of the costs from taxpayers to applicants. Last year the county Planning Board collected $104,702 from applicants to conduct 856 reviews costing about $385,000, Planning Director Robert W. Clark said.

The new rates won't take effect until July 1, but if they were in place for the entire year they would generate about $314,100. A member of Clark's staff previously estimated the cost of last year's reviews somewhere between $300,000 and $500,000. Yesterday, Clark sub Shravan Ambati, grade 6 at Ocean Township Intermediate School, waits to hear if he's correct. Jason Martin became the winner. Jason Martin said he has even been dreaming about words.

He attributed his success in part to Sister Elsa Donati, his principal who often coached him, and to the dictionary he newspaper yesterday, Larrison said, "I think a quiet sit-down to work out the problem is much better." He promised to telephone Chamberlain to pursue the complaints. Freeman could not be contacted for comment at his home last night. Contacted at home, Lanzaro said, "I have no comment. We do our promotions in accordance with the civil service rules." He said the corrections officers never asked to meet with him, and he denounced their appeal to the freeholders to intervene. "They want a meeting with me; I'm their employer.

They can meet with me," he said, objecting to the idea The measure was signed into law about six weeks ago and the tax proposal for the county was the subject of a freeholders hearing March 27, when 14 county residents offered their backing. Last night the freeholders took the final step to provide the stable funding fcr parkland acquisitions. When property owners receive their tax bills later this year, they'll notice the addition of the open space preservation trust fund tax. The amount due will vary by property, but no property owner with a house valued at $100,000 regardless of its location in the county will pay more than $28, Narozanick has said. The county park system now encompasses 5,439 acres, and another 480 acres are in the process of being acquired.

"When your own boss starts calling you 'Keystone Cops' and taking people's livelihoods (by suspending them), something is wrong," Chamberlain said, referring to Lanzaro's remark to The Asbury Park Press of an episode when a hospitalized prisoner escaped from his two guards Feb.

"I don't think these problems are insurmountable." purchases mitted a report listing $384,991 in expenses to justify the rate increase. However, the only challenges they heard during a hearing last night were from residents wanting to know why the county was subsidizing any of the costs. The freeholders responded that they can't be certain how many applications will be submitted, and so can't be exact in estimating revenue.

They said they could consider raising the rates again next year. The county started charging for the review service in 1986, when $60,339 was collected. In 1987, $86,175 in fees was collected. Also last night, the freeholders doubled the long-standing $50 charge for appeals of municipal code enforcement officers' decisions. Last year 50 cases were submitted to the Construction Board of Appeals.

Asbury Park Press MONMOUTH COUiiTY NEWS BUREAUS By BRUCE LEVINE Press Staff Writer WITH AN EYE toward preserving land for parks, the Monmouth County Board of Freeholders last night enacted a $4 million-a-year tax for land acquisitions. Without fanfare, the freeholders unanimously completed a process the board began in 1987 when it authorized a non-binding ballot question to assess support for a special dedicated tax to fund the expansion of the Monmouth County Park System.

Residents voted 75,259 to 30,155 in November 1987 in favor of an annual $4 million expenditure. With what the freeholders held as a mandate, Freeholder Theodore J. Narozanick helped draft and lobbied for legislation to make such a dedicated tax possible. Spells From page CI each of the five years it has been held. This is the first time he won.

In the end, Jason faced one very worthy opponent, Jason Freuden-berger, a fifth-grader from the Rabbi Pesach Raymon Yeshiva School in Edison Township. The two battled it out through 12 very tense, very mind-boggling rounds in which they appeared to be the only two people in the auditorium who had ever heard of the obscure words. Both boys never hesitated for long when faced with words that would have left even Noah Webster scratching his head. Jason Freudenberger, a 1 0-year-old from East Brunswick Township with a captivating smile and an amazing vocabulary, made it through some tough ones, including "snipsnapsnorum," a game in which one player lays a card on the table and the others must match its rank if able, "prestidigitation," skill and dexterity in the performance of juggling and conjuring tricks, "adactylous," lacking fingers or toes, and "smalto," -a9 Shrewsbury SV Freehold VA Or A St. i- i Northern monmouth Shrewsbury 508 Broad St 201-741-5400 Patricia McDanieL bureau chief Randy Brameier Suzanne Detcamp Sherry Flgdore John A.
