Asbury Park Press n-n WW riiQn rui AiO UXJUVL LTU Feb. 22, 1986 QJJT Sewage overflow inundates road, confounds officials What residents should do is pump basement water into a dry well or storm drain, Taylor said. It is illegal to pjmp into the sewer system, he said. The capacity of the sewer plant is 1.4 million gallons a day, Vitiello said, and the portion of the township served by the plant is only supposed to send 600,000 gallons a day. So the plant should be able to handle the flow, he said.

Whpn a hravv rainfall occurs and sewage. "You can close a dirty restaurant, but you can't close a sewage treatment plant. R. Chadwick Taylor, health officer rainwater and sump pump water fills the collection system at the plant, the substance begins to back up into the pipes feeding it into By JOYCE DE GRAY Press Freehold Bureau FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP At least six times in the past year, sewage has overflowed from the Freehold Sewer Co. into nearby Elton-Adelphia Road and into a stream that feeds into the Manasquan River, said a township health official.

The overflow, which happens during heavy rains, recurred this week, said R. Chad-wick Taylor, township health officer. Sometimes a foot-high stream of diluted sewage shoots out of the manhole cover over the backed-up sewer pipes, Taylor said. The substance often covers a portion of the road which students from Freehold Township High School, across from the plant, must walk along on their way to and from school, he said. And when it is cold and the sewage freezes, the road becomes slippery and hazardous, prompting the police to barricade part of the road, Taylor said.

Also, the banks of a nearby stream that flows into the Manasquan River have been covered with sewage and pieces of toilet tissue, said Lester W. Jargowsky, county health officer. The problem will be resolved when the sewer company connects with the Manasquan River Regional Sewerage Authority, which may happen within a month, Taylor said. The sewage will then be pumped through the MRRSA system to Ocean County, to be treated by the Ocean County Utilities Authority. However, Lou Vitiello, director of management for J.D.

Enterprises, the Clifton company which owns Freehold Sewer said he did not know when the company would hook up with the Manasquan River Regional Sewerage Authority. Knud Scholer, executive director of the MRRSA, could not be reached for comment. Although Vitiello said the company was waiting for the sewer rates to be set by the municipalities making up the authority, township and state Department of Environmental Protection officials said the company must connect soon and not wait Township officials have said they are negotiating to buy Freehold Sewer which "The approving of municipal rates has nothing to do with it," he added, saying each sewer company is on a schedule for connecting and closing down. He did not know the schedule for Freehold Sewer Co. The company is in violation of health standards and it is "inexcusable" that it is not yet hooked up, said Frederick E.

Jahn, township administrator. "The connection can and should be made," Jahn said. If the company does not comply, the state can take it to court, Cattaneo said. Although the township and the DEP could force the company to expand its capacity if it was going to remain open, it is difficult to do anything for a short period of time, Taylor said. "You can close a dirty restaurant, but you can't close a sewage treatment plant," he added.

Taylor and Vitiello agreed that much of the problem stems from residents who drain the water sucked up by basement sump pumps into their sinks, which then goes into the sewer system. The problem worsens during heavy rains, especially over several days. the plant, Jargowsky said. It backs up to the lowest point, in this case the pipes under the road, he said. The sewage then bubbles out of the manhole cover, he said.

Mayor Dorothy Avallone, who lives about a block from the plant, said township officials have written to the DEP several times about the matter. The overflowing sewage "has caused many problems in the area. It is a pretty bad condition," she said. serves Freehold Area Hospital, Route 537, and the area bounded by Routes 9 and 524 and Stillwell Comers and Schanck roads. If the company remains private, the township would pay it a fee to maintain its pipes.

"They will be hooking up in the near future," said Lee Cattaneo, chief of the DEP's Bureau of Waste Management, which oversees all sewage plants.

But Jean Lee, president of the group, Save Our Station said the group has a lot of hard work ahead of it, as members hope to reach their goal and have the station completed in time for the borough's centennial celebration next year. "We have a lot to do this summer to raise money," said Mrs. Lee.

"We hope to have the station open the entire year for the centennial celebration." Although Mrs. Lee said the celebration will take place during two weeks in October 1987, she said the group wants to have the station open for the entire year. Mrs. Lee said all of the exterior wood parts of the building have been repaired. However, she said the building cannot be painted yet because of the cold, wet weather.

She said the building must be dry and temperatures must be above freezing before the oil-based paint can be applied. Limited edition bronze coins and a historic calendar are two fund-raisers the group is sponsoring to raise money for repairs to the building.

dates in the borough's history, and the borough historian also has been helping. The calendar also will include old photographs of the borough. The pictures will be printed on parchment and toned brown to give them an antiquated appearance. Mrs. Lee said the calendars will sell for $5, and she hopes they will be available by the Memorial Day weekend.

The station was built in 1877 and originally stood in Spring Lake, Mrs. Lee said. She said it was moved to Manasquan about 20 years later. She said the building is constructed of wood carted by train from Philadelphia. That wood was originally part of the agricultural hall exhibition in Philadelphia in the nation's centennial celebration in 1876.

Although the station is owned by NJ Transit, it was leased to the borough in November of 1984 when NJ Transit Board of Directors approved a 35-year, no-cost lease. NJ Transit also gave the borough a $9,000 grant to help pay for renovations. The building was closed and boarded up before the group took over restoration. In recent years the station was vandalized and became dilapidated, and it was in the process of being condemned early in 1984. When renovated, the building will have a commuter waiting area and room for civic and municipal functions.

Part of the building also might be leased to a taxi stand. The coins display the borough seal on one side and the train station on the other. There were 1,000 of the coins produced, and they sell for $20 each. Mrs. Lee said the group is currently trying to gather information on founding dates and dates of special events from borough groups to list on the calendar.

However, she said many of the groups have not responded to a letter requesting the information. Some members of Save Our Station have been going through records at Borough Hall to find out important izenship yesterday at the Monmouth County Courthouse. Gennady Ruchaevsky's worst defeat came from his government, which, he says, denied him a chance to compete in the 1968 Olympics. "Because I was Jewish, I couldn't travel outside the country for international tournaments," said Ru-chaevsky, who resides in the Oakhurst section of Ocean Township. Ruchaevsky was 16 years old when he was named Russia's national featherweight champion.

For three years he defended his title, and the next two he held the country's lightweight crown. "My boxing career was stagnant because of my ethnic background," Ruchaevsky said. He had 21 5 fights in bis native Russia, losing only 1 5. He reluctantly retired from boxing in 1971 and studied to become a physical education teacher. He was head of the sports program in a college the city of Minsk in Russia before coming to the United States.

He was sponsored by the Jewish Family Childrens Service, Asbury Park, and arrived in this country in 1979. He has since been joined by his parents, sister, twin brother and their respective families. Ruchaevsky is an independent insurance salesman. He lives with his wife, Marguerita, and his daughter, Lisa. "I met my wife in Queens, New York," said Ruchaevsky, noting that his wife also was from Minsk.

"Three weeks later I married her." "He (Gennady) was afraid I might change my mind," said Marguerita Ruchaevsky jokingly. She works as a bookkeeper at Hollywood Golf Course, Deal. Ruchaevsky told his rabbi he was in love and was getting married after only courting for a few weeks. "My rabbi wanted to know why I wanted to marry so quickly. I told him 'because I'm Rush Ruchaevsky said with a laugh.

The naturalization included 87 adults and four children, with six people absent from the ceremony. Ruchaevsky was one of nine Russians naturalized yesterday. The youngest citizen, 2-year-old Rebecca Mollie Yang Mappen, was wandering aimlessly through the jury assembly room unaware she was becoming an American citizen. Her parents, Marc and Ellen Map-pen, of Fairfield, eyed their adopted Korean daughter with proud smiles etched on their faces. "This is a proud moment for both of us," said Marc Mappen, as he rose from his chair to retrieve his daughter who was playing on the ceremonial platform.

Both Marc and Ellen Mappen work at Rutgers University as administrators. Superior Court Judge James M. Coleman who presided at the ceremony, urged the citizens not to forget their cultural heritage. "It's impossible to know where you're going, unless you know were you've been," Coleman said.

Pawlowski's grandparents came to the United States, they followed many other Polish emigrants by settling in the South River and Sayreville area. The couple opened a tavern and grocery store in 1913 and began building what would eventually become a thriving Polish American community. Seventy-three years later, Pawlowski, president of Riverview Medical Center, has been named Polo-nian of the Year by the Polonians, a New Jersey-based national service organization dedicated to the interest of Polish Americans. The award is presented annually to the Polonia member who has demonstrated exemplary capabilities that make him or her a credit to the Polish community. Pawlowski's legacy of community service actually began with his grandparents Victoria and Felix Pawlowski.

Both were born in the Polish farming town of Slaboludz and came to the United States in 1900. "He came to New York, and she came to South River," Pawlowski said. She was 12 and he was 16. They met in Sayreville and four years later were married. The couple had four boys and five girls who settled in Sayreville and opened a meat market and a confectioner's shop.

John Pawlowski lived in the neighborhood from birth until he went away to Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania. "I grew up thinking there, were Polish Consulate in New York City. The sold-out event will host some 300 guests. A busload of employees from Riverside and Pawlowski's friends and family members from Sayreville will attend, he said. Proceeds from the reception will benefit the Polish Mothers' Memorial Hospital in Lodz, Poland.

Pawlowski is a member of the Polish Mothers Foundation, which recognizes the Pol- ish people who died during the Holo- caust. He has been president of the medical center since 1984. He is a former administrator. He started at the hospital in 1965 as director of purchasing and was promoted to assistant admin- istrator three years later. He is a member of the hospital Board of Governors and a trustee for the Riverview Foundation and the Riverview Health Services Corpora- tion, the hospital's parent corporation.

Pawlowski is the immediate past president of the Monmouth Ocean Hospital Service Corporation, a con- sortium of eight hospitals in the two counties. He is a former trustee of the New Jersey Hospital Association and a member of the American College of Hospital Administrators, the Ameri-cn Hospital Association and the American Medical Administrators Association. He is past president of the Red Bank Chamber of Commerce and an active member of the Monmouth County Tuberculosis Control Board- Family and Children's Services; the Association of Retarded Citizens, Monmouth Unit, and the Red Bank -Rotary Club. Officials to meet on park fire pact JOHN PAWLOWSKI Hospital administrator lauded only Polish people in the world," he said. The Polonians are 300 Polish Americans from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Massachusetts.

The group was first formed 15 years ago in Jersey City, said Pawlowski, Lincroft. Each year the group gives two scholarships to students at the St. George's Medical School in Grenada. In addition, members arrange have American families adopt Polish children and bring them to the United States.

Millen said, too, that sand from the well-fed water supply on Sandy Hook damages the fire truck pumps.

Shields, superintendent of the Sandy Hook Unit of the Gateway National Recreation Area, to meet with them on March 3.
