Plastoris, who after 45 years is protective of the water quality of the reservoir, said he will ask the administration to deny people access to the reservoir. "I don't look too favorable upon the fishing," he said.

"I'd like to keep it as natural as possible." Priore said that is fine with him. He said he has other spots where he can i i by Jersey City Water Department guards, who might chase them off the property on a first offense, or file a complaint with the local police that could lead to a $250 fine. But when the guards see Priore with his line in the water, they are not as quick to act, said George Plastoris, superintendent of the res- Termites Carpenter Ants Annual Quarterly Home Service knowledge of a key being given to Priore. McCann is the same age as Priore and became a mayor the same year Priore did. McCann was mayor from 1981 to 1985 and again from 1989 until February, when he was removed from office after he was convicted of embezzling $200,000 from a bank loan earmarked to a non-profit Hudson River waterfront development group.

McCann could not be reached for comment. City Councilman Joseph Ra-kowski is acting mayor, and it is unclear whether he will continue to allow access to the reservoir for fishing for Priore, or anyone else. After being spotted on a recent weekend going into the property through the gate on Knoll Road, Priore said he was not there to fish, but to take pictures of birds. Anyone who arrived with a Jersey City pass to fish was confined to a small shore area near the dam and guard house off Greenbank Road, Plastoris said. But Priore has more freedom at the reservoir.

Plastoris said the mayor often enters the grounds with his car through a locked gate on Knoll Road across from the Knollwood School. Rumors among fishermen are that Priore has a key to the gate. Asked whether that was true, the mayor refused to comment. "I'm not going to confirm or deny anything, except to say that fishing privileges have been extended to me the last three administrations in Jersey City," he said, refering to two non-consecutive terms by McCann and a term between them by former Mayor Anthony Cucci. Plastoris and water department director Austin Harrold denied any fish tanks contain large and small fish.

Other than politics, fishing might be Priore's leading passion. But when asked recently about his fishing experiences at the reservoir, Priore was reluctant to talk. "I'm not going to go into it with you. It's none of your business," Priore said. When pressed, he first claimed to have permission to enter the reservoir from Plastoris.

When told that Plastoris denied that, Priore said permission had been granted years ago by former Jersey City Mayor Gerald McCann. Other friends of McCann's were given special passes to fish, Plastoris said, as were groups of school children under a program the former mayor started a few years ago. But Priore said he has no such pass, just the oral permission from McCann. i i I VIKING iTermite and Pest Control Fran Wood's Perspective Op-Ed page Every Sunday ervoir. "We don't get involved with that r-stuff when politics gets in the act," Plastoris said.

Four county towns Parsippa-ny, Morris Township, Montville and Boonton Township have open-space trust funds similar to what the freeholders want to do on a county level. In Parsippany, which has had the trust fund since 1988, longer than anyone else, the program has provided money to buy historical Craftsman Farms as well as an old cemetery next to township hall and various small parcels around the township. Somerset County has had an open space trust fund for three years.

Jim Girvan, a senior planner with the Somerset planning board, said property owners pay 1.5 cents per $100 assessment to support the trust fund. He said the fund's major project has been $500,000 to expand a park in Franklin Township. Preserving open space became a rallying cry in Morris County during the 1980s when the booming economy resulted in office buildings, strip malls and housing developments replacing open fields and farmland. While development has slackened, officials said public support for preserving open space is still high.

George Tucker, a Morris 2000 of-' iicial, said a survey for the group by the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University showed that a majority of county residents would support creating the trust fund and paying into it.

Farmer and Lawrimore were nearly the same age, had the same color hair and eyes and spoke with Southern accents. "I was almost a dead ringer for this woman," Lawrimore said.

"I had my daughter come down, and I think the police still thought I was her." But the descriptions did differ in one way. Lawrimore is several inches taller than Farmer, and her grandson, Michael, lacks a birthmark that appears on the shoulder of the abducted boy. Police released her immediately. Lawrimore is not bitter, but chalks up the incident as another interesting experience in an interesting life. She said she laughed through the ordeal and is glad her daughter and grandchildren live in a community where the people and police are watchful of their town.

"If I didn't come here, I was going to ride my bicycle from Fort Laur1 'ale to Key West," she said. "Bu nk I had more of an adventure this way." WWlBlflS SO.
