B2 The Daily Register THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 1983 AROUND THE COUNTY School name change nixed MARLBORO The local Board of Education last night sided with opponents of a proposal to change the name of Marlboro High School to Marlboro-Colts Neck High School, which is before the Freehold Regional Board of Education. Despite arguments by some board members, including Marilyn Hirschberger who said, "'The children of Colts neck need an identity, too," the board decided to oppose the move, citing a variety of reasons. Some argued that along with the cost of changing the sign outside the school building, there would be the additional cost of changing stationery, school uniforms and other materials bearing the school's name. Still another argument is the uncertainty of the regional district's future in general, and specifically the future of Colts Neck students at what is now Marlboro High School. Colts Neck has sought to build its own high school as part of a proposal to dissolve the regional district.

A third argument, offered in jest, was that "the cheerleaders would have too much trouble" spelling out Marlboro-Colts Neck. The matter is expected to come up at the regional board's June 15 and June e20 meetings. In other business, Superintendent Frank Defino officially was granted an indefinite medical leave, and Judith Conk was appointed acting superintendent until Defino returns. Defino, who suffered a heart attack in early April and underwent a quadruple bypass operation that same month. is said to be relaxing comfortably at home and showing steady improvement.

He is expected to return this summer. Also, Marlboro Township Teachers Association President Joel Popkin said a resolution regarding maternity and child care leave, which was adopted unanimously by the board last night, is in violation with the MTTA contract. The resolution requires those teachers wishing to return from such leave in September of a given year to inform the board by March 31 of the same year, lest it be assumed that they are not returning. Board President Myrna Kleinman said the measure is aimed at providing the board with an opportunity to inform an interim teacher who replaced a teacher on leave of status for the following year. Parking law takes shape MANALAPAN After discussing for one 1 month the creation of a parking ordinance that would prohibit residents from parking on their front lawns, the Township Committee finally has seen the light or ordinance.

"Next Wednesday I will have a proposed ordinance drawn up," Township Attorney Gerald N. Sonnenblick said at the conclusion of last night's workshop meeting. But the ordinance will only pertain to any "major subdivision lots with three or more houses. It will not affect houses out in the boondocks," Sonnenblick said. The decision was made after the committee met for an hour with Fred Berg and Rena Kopystenski, residents of the Yorktowne development in the township.

Berg has complained for the last five weeks that many residents in his neighborhood park their vehicles on their front lawns. The practice, according to Berg, clutters the neighborhood and will decrease the value of the homes. Township Acting Engineer Mike McKenna told the committee at the May 18 public meeting that it would cost a resident between $400 and $500 to have an additional macadam parking space made for two cars. He also said a resident would be charged $80 or $90 for a truckload of stone to be dumped for additional parking space for two cars. However, Kopystenski argued that not everyone in the development can afford such a venture.

But she conceded that the wording of the proposed ordinance is reasonable. "I think they're (the committee) finally dealing with reality. (The ordinance) doesn't restrict people. It deals with front lawns," she said. Kopystenski feared that such an ordinance would create other restrictions.

way that (the creation of the ordinance) was going, what would it mean next? Purple shudders? Red trees?" Sewer project authorized SHREWSBURY TOWNSHIP The Township Committee last night authorized the township engineer to design a sanitary sewer project that would extend the main sewer lines behind Barker Avenue. According to Richard M. Mazer, the township engineer, $150,000 in state Community Development Block Grant funds will be available after October to finance the sewer project. The proposed sewer line would run directly behind the apartments on Barker Avenue, and would extend the entire length of the roadway. Also included in the project would be a new sewer line extension off Belshaw Avenue.

A sewer line is located in front of Barker Avenue, but it is not adequate to meet the needs of the area, according to the engineer. The proposal would complete the township's sanitary sewer "trunk line," Maser said.

No action taken as Loigman probe ends By DAN BREEN MIDDLETOWN The township will take no action against local lawyer Larry S. Loigman following an investigation into reports that he may have endangered himself and others while assisting as a special police officer during a March arrest. Township Administrator Herbert W. Bradshaw, in a letter addressed to local PBA President James Wladyko, said the matter had been investigated and that Bradshaw did not issue a "letter of recommendation" as a result.

"This matter has been thoroughly and properly handled," Bradshaw said. A source close to the investigation said that originally Bradshaw had intended to write a letter concerning Loigman's alleged action, but upon consulting township legal authorities, changed his mind. Bradshaw has declined extensive comment on the investigation because it concerns township personnel. The matter involved the arrest on March 20 of Daniel Telepun of Keansburg after an auto chase which involved township police and those from neighboring Hazlet and Keansburg. Loigman, who was riding in a patrol car with a regular police officer that evening, arrived at the scene and allegedly drew his gun.

The laywer, known for his friendship and business relationship with Police Chief Joseph McCarthy, has declined to comment on the alleged weapon incident. Loigman admitted, however, that he got into the patrol car in which Telepun was kept following the arrest to inform the Keansburg man of his rights.He has said he has informed suspects of their rights during past arrests in which he aided township police. Apparently, some of the police officers at the scene expressed concern to superiors afterward Loigman's involvement in the arrest. The concern led Wladyko to request that Bradshaw investigate the incident. Wladyko, in his request, also questioned Loigman's qualifications to be a special police officer, but Bradshaw in his response said, "I am advised that Mr.

Loigman has completed the requirements for appointment as a special officer." Ocean du dumping hearings agreed on WASHINGTON The federal Environmental Protection Agency has agreed to hold a public hearing in Toms River later this year on the 12- and 60- mile ocean dumping sites, Rep. Edwin B. Forsythe, announced. Forsythe said that an EPA official agreed to hold the hearing in New Jersey during hearings on ocean dumping held by the House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee last week. Forsythe is the ranking Republican on the committee.

EPA will hold the Toms River hearing after it publishes its tentative decisions regarding the ocean dumping sites, Forsythe said. EPA expects to announce its tentative decision in November, and the New Jersey hearing will probably be held in December. The EPA was responding to a May 24 letter fron Forsythe to Jacqueline Schafer, EPA administrator for Region II, which includes New York and New Jersey. In his letter, Forsythe noted that EPA had received the additional material it requested from the municipalities and sewage authorities that petitioned for designation of the 12-mile site. "I I believe the time is ripe for me to request that you hold hearings on your deliberations at Toms River, New Jersey, in order to ensure that the citizens of New Jersey are given the opportunity to make their views and opinions known in an open public forumm," the letter stated.

Forsythe, in cooperation with other New Jersey members of Congress and with state officials, has been working on a comprehensive approach to ocean dumping with the goal of improving the water quality of the New York Bight. "The preservation of the quality of life in America depends in no small measure upon the preservation of the quality of our water, particularly our oceans," Forsythe said. "'The dumping of waste materials in the' ocean must be By BARBARA KATELL carefully examined." land, five years after the bill Forsythe has also introduced legisla- law.

The developer, Balmar Realty 1 of Brick Township, alleges that the authority has "refused to undertake any meaningful expansion to service the needs of its growing communities," according to the suit which was docketed yesterday in Superior Court.

The suit seeks a court order forcing the WMUA to either connect the subdivision into its system, or ask the state for permission to increase the capacity of its treatment plant. A third alternative suggested by the suit would be a court order "mandating that the WMUA take all steps reasonably calculated to enlarge the rated capacity of the treatment facility, to meet the reasonable demands of the growing The subdivision received preliminary approval from the Manalapan Planning Board on Dec. 1, 1982, approximately eight months after the WMUA declared a moratorium on hook-ups in Manalapan and Marlboro, the suit says. The "rated capacity" of the treatment plant is 4.4 million gallons of sewage a day, the suit says. Barefoot Bass or go ENTIRE STOCK SUNJUNS OF BASS Reg.
