Kyrillos R-Monmouth, was named Man of the Year by the Monmouth County Crime Prevention Officers' Association yesterday. "During his first year and a half in office, he fought for tougher penalties for illegal dumping and eluding police. He worked to secure funds for police overtime and pushed to increase state spending for Marine Police," said Thomas Pegut, association president. "Assemblyman Kyrillos has proven to be a leader among leaders, a diligent and tireless worker, and one of the most respected lawmakers in the state," Pegut said. "His ability to get 1 5 bills signed into law ranks him second out of 80 state Assembly representatives.

Anyone who understands state government understands how difficult a task that is," he said. Kyrillos recently was appointed to the New Jersey Commission to Deter Criminal Activity.

Compiled from Press staff reports Bon Jovi ends fight over ticket Like his father, he pays the fine Press Shrewsbury Bureau ROCK STAR Jon Bon Jovi has paid a $50 fine for running a red light in Red Bank, rather than continue disputing the ticket he received more than five months ago. Bon Jovi's lawyer, Richard D. Mc-Omber, Red Bank, said last week that the singer's schedule was too hectic to make his scheduled Municipal Court appearance tomorrow morning, said Carol Dowlen, deputy municipal court clerk. The singer mailed in the fine and 10 in court costs last week, she said.

Bon Jovi, Rumson, was issued a summons March 1 for disregarding a stoplight at the intersection of Maple Avenue and West Front Street. McOmber could not be reached yesterday for comment. McOmber has said that Bon Jovi, driving about 20 to 25 mph, went through the traffic light when it was still yellow. Bon Jovi was followed closely by his father, John Bongiovi, in a separate car. The traffic light remains yellow for four seconds, McOmber said, and Bon Jovi was out of the intersection before it changed to red.

He was driving a red 1988 Ferrari, according to Arlene Holiday, court clerk. Bon Jovi's father also received a summons charging he failed to stop at the light. Bongiovi pleaded guilty and paid the $60 fine, Mrs. Holiday confirmed. Bon Jovi had insisted that he did not break the law and wanted to appear in court to contest the summons, according to McOmber.

"My client feels very strongly he didn't fail to observe traffic signals," McOmber said last month. Bon Jovi recently returned from an appearance at the Moscow Music Peace Festival in the Soviet Union and is believed to be starting a concert tour in Canada. Authorities seek man in sex assault Press Lakewood Bureau Deliberation to continue in sex trial Press Toms River Bureau AN OCEAN COUNTY jury in Toms River will continue deliberations this morning to determine if damages should be awarded to a woman who says her civil rights were violated by a former policeman who she says forced her to commit a sexual act Deliberations lasted 27 minutes yesterday before Superior Court Judge Rosalie B. Cooper sent the jury of three men and three women home at 4:15 p.m. and ordered them to return at 9 a.m.

Testimony in a civil suit against a former Stafford Township police officer was reopened Monday when Judge Cooper agreed with defense lawyers that newly discovered evidence was important for the jury to hear. The evidence consisted of a series of greeting cards the woman gave to her former husband, Scott Martin, in fall 1987 when they were living in Florida. As a result of Judge Cooper's ruling, the jury heard additional testimony from the woman and her father about the relationship she had with Martin in September and October 1987. The 25-year-old Stafford Township woman is seeking damages because of the incident more than six years ago with former policeman Alfred Smith Jr. Smith testified last week he never forced her to perform oral sex, but that she did it voluntarily.

The woman also is seeking damages from Stafford Township and its police chief, Larry D. Parker. She says Parker and the township are liable for damages because they did not properly screen Smith before he was hired. Opposing lawyers gave closing arguments to the jury Thursday, but Judge Cooper ruled Monday the new evidence should be heard. Two weeks ago, the woman testified she had only gone to Florida with Martin on vacation and Martin abducted her while they were there and forced her to marry him Oct.

5, 1987, the day after Martin's 1 8th birthday. Testifying Monday and yesterday, the woman admitted she had written endearing comments on cards given to Martin when they were in Florida. After the jury heard the additional testimony yesterday, Judge Cooper permitted each of the four lawyers to give what she called "mini-summar tions" to the jury, limiting their comments to the testimony heard late Monday and yesterday. The three defense lawyers took about one minute each and told the jury the greeting cards given by the woman to Martin cast doubts on her credibility about being abducted by Martin and forced to marry him. John Boyle, who represents the township, read from a card she gave Martin the day before their wedding in which she mentioned feeling safe and secure.

Steven Secare, Parker's lawyer, told the jury that if it found the woman lied at any time, the jurors could discount all the evidence she gave. But Gerald J. Kelly, the woman's lawyer, said four years after the inci-' dent with Smith, Martin came along and swept the woman off her feet. He said the woman made an attempt to have a relationship with a man and it failed, just as psychological experts said would happen. A psychologist testified the woman would have permanent psychological scars from the incident with Smith.

AUTHORITIES IN Point Pleasant Beach yesterday continued searching for two men who burglarized an Ocean Avenue home early Sunday morning, one of whom is accused of sexually assaulting a Monmouth County girl who was sleeping there. Police said a man in his early 20s assaulted the 14-year-old girl after entering the home with a companion between 4 and 5 a.m.

The girl, who was visiting the home, was treated and released at Point Pleasant Hospital following the incident, police said. The girl described her attacker as a white male in his early 20s, 5 feet 8 inches tall, with a thin build and medium-length, curly brown hair. He was wearing square, wire-rimmed glasses, a black T-shirt and cutoff jeans, police said. The incident occurred after the girl awoke and discovered her attacker and another person had forcibly entered the home through the front door, according to police. The second person did not take part in the assault, police said.

Both fled on foot from the home, police said. Anyone with information is asked to contact Point Pleasant Beach police at (201) 892-0500.

Mullins. AsiUaiY Ppjess Press Toms River Bureau A $13 MILLION roller coaster is ready to join Funtown Pier's other summer-debut attractions in Seaside Park today. The nameless coaster, which features a loop in the middle, reaches 60 feet high and has about 1,800 feet of track, said William Major owner of Suffolk County Contractors, South Toms River. Suffolk County Contractors bought Funtown Pier in December 1988. The roller coaster had to be custom-made to fit into the area at the end of the pier, he said.

Hovering 10 inches over the end of the pier in some areas, the coaster goes about 40 mph for a 1 'j-minute-long ride that will cost $3, said Michel Carluccio, manager at Funtown. "That's very fast. Most go 25 or 30 mph," she said. Pier officials will hold a "Name the Roller Coaster" contest starting today and running through Labor Day. The person who comes up with the best name will win $500, Ms.

Carluccio said. During the winter, a neon sign sporting the name will be hung over the red, white and blue Italian-made coaster decorated with a flashing American flag, she said. Earlier this summer, the pier opened adult attractions, such as a 110-foot Ferris wheel and a Tank Tag and Battle Boat ride, in an effort to bring an older crowd to the boardwalk, Major said. "Up until last year, there were only kiddie rides," he said. Northern monmouth Shrewsbury 508 Broad St.
