Manufactured by Princeton-based Princeton Dental Products the Cavidex is supposed to flush away decayed tooth with a saline solution and amino acids instead of drilling, according to convention organizer and Cherry Hill dentist Dr. Richard D'Eustachio. "It's caused a lot of excitement among the public," said D'Eustachio. He added that his fellow dentists are a bit more restrained: "Dentists are always skeptical." The machine has attracted attention because to cause "no or very minimal discomfort" while removing the decayed part of to cause "no or very minimal discomfort" while removing the decayed part of a tooth, D'Eustachio said.

Keansburg Mayor survives screamin' demon coaster By KEVIN FRECHETTE The Register KEANSBURG Young girls screamed, fathers held their children tightly, and Mayor Walter Farley began to sweat as the tiny cars rattled to the top of the hill before plunging headlong toward the pavement. Farley and more 1 than 100 other brave souls were en hand yesterday for the opening of Keansburg Amusement Park's latest addition, 'the Screamin Demon' rollercoaster. Billed by its owners as the largest steel coaster on the Eastern Seaboard, the Demon's network of twists and turns stretches as high as 82 feet into the air and reaches speeds of 45 miles-per-hour on the first 60 foot drop. "I was determined that they weren't going to get me on that thing," said Farley, after being coaxed into one of the ride's four-man cars following a brief ribbon cutting ceremony. As the first 300 riders steadied themselves and stepped out of the cars, park officials handed out free "I survived the Demon" t-shirts and hats.

Park co-owner, Albert J. Reid, said he had also offered members of the Middletown Children's Theater free rides and t-shirts after the curtain fell on their first performance yesterday. "It's the greatest ride at Keansburg," said Jamie Cochran of Keansburg. "I think I lost my stomach back there," said his friend, Todd Dyson. Reid and co-owner, Grand Cantalupo, both said they hoped the coaster and a $200,000 renovation project would breath new life into the tiny seaside park.

"We have faith that the addition of these new rides is going to bring people out to Keansburg," Reid said. He said park officials are currently negotiating for the purchase of a 300-foot-long log flume which he hoped would be installed by the end of the season. Co-owner, Grand Cantalupo, said the park purchased The Demon, worth an estimated $1 million, from Pennsylvania's Magic Valley Amusement Park last year. Prior to yesterday's opening, he said the Demon had been inspected and licensed by the state as well as tested by the park itself. "I'm always the first one to try out new rides," Cantalupo said, "I test them all out myself before I'll let anyone else on." The park officially opened its gates yesterday and will remain open until the first week in October.

"There are a lot of difficulties in 1 the first and fourth grades," MacDonald said. Violent and disruptive children are left in the mainstream classrooms and taken out only for brief periods disrupting other children's learning, MacDonald: said. "No one in the administration addresses the unruly conduct, screaming and yelling of aides and even some teachers whose decorum only brings to the daily routine an atmosphere of disruption," MacDonald said in his letter. Abrams, however, maintains that Red Bank is no different than other districts when it comes to unruly children. "Everyone who has visited remarks about the good behavior of children," Abrams said.

"It doesn't mean the children don't occasionally get out of hand, but we do not have robots walking around. We don't belive in robotic children. We do believe in well-behaved children." MacDonald said the administration should place aides on buses ensure the children get a peaceful ride to and from school. "There were some problems on one bus," Abrams said. "I spoke with the company and that driver is no longer working for us.

It has been taken care of." Of the idea of putting aides on the buses, Abrams said "other districts don't have aides on the buses, they're too expensive. "A good bus driver will stop the bus and tell the children he won't continue unless they behave," she said. "All districts have a certain amount of trouble; ours is not different." MacDonald accused Abrams of concentrating too much on the district's threeand four-year old program, and neglecting the regular school system. "We are trying to fill the needs of a said. "We are not from Peter great deal of the community," Abrams to pay Paul." stile THE ANDREWS SCREAMIN' DEMON Mayor Walter Farley, Keansburg Amusement Park, prepares for a ride on seated beside Grand Cantalupo, co-owner of the park's latest attraction, the "Screamin' Demon." Pallone seeking funds for 3 county lakes TRENTON The state Legislature's Joint Appropriations Committee (JAC) Saturday approved resolutions by Senator Frank Pallone, D-Monmouth, that would provide funding for the clean-up of Wesley, Takanassee and Deal Lakes.

One resolution passed by the committee appropriates $100,000 each for Wesley Lake, between Ocean Grove and Asbury Park, and Takanassee Lake in Long Branch, for a total of $200,000. Pallone said that Wesley Lake has "seriously deteriorated" to the point where its recreational value has been practically eliminated. "Wesley Lake was once used for boating, fishing and all types of activities. I would like to see it come back as a prime attraction in the redevelopment of both Asbury Park and Ocean Grove," Pallone said. "The funding will be used to clean the silt trap on the western end of Wesley lake, to install a concrete hopper and suction pipe and repair certain parts of the retaining walls." "There is a good possibility that the North End development project which is planned for Ocean Grove, may provide private funds to augment repairs to the retaining walls." "I spoke to Gov.

(Thomas) Kean and showed him the deteriorated condition of Wesley Lake when he participated in last year's LaborDay Parade. The Governor noted in particular the collapse of the retaining wall on the Ocean Grove side." Pallone said that funding for Takanassee Lake in Long Branch will be used to remove silt, stabilize banks and construct appropriate structures for silt retention. "Takanassee Lake has tremendous recreational value, particularly for fishing," he continued. "It is one of the few trout-stocked lakes in the area. The money will be used to prevent further deterioration, particularly in the section between the railroad tracks and Norwood Avenue where silt and weeds have built up to a great degree.

"As a City Councilman in Long Branch, I have received a number of complaints from local residents about the bad condition of the lake," he said. The resolution for Deal Lake provides for the carryover of $500,000 in funds earmarked for cleanup, he said. The money was appropriated in a bill, also sponsored by Pallone, which Kean signed in March. Pallone said the money would have lapsed without the carry over resolution. "The Deal Lake funds will be for erosion control work on the lake's southernmost arm.

This is the first of six steps to achieve upstream stabilization that will prevent silt from flowing into the lake," Pallone said. "This first step affects the portion of the lake between Asbury Avenue and Ridge Avenue, which would be utilized as a silt trap. In addition, the height of the flume at the Ridge Avenue bridge would. be Pallone said that he hoped to provide additional funds in the budget for the second step of upstream stabilization. which involves work on the stream, corridor and the construction of a detention basin at Harvey Brook west of.

"The JAC was unwilling to commit additional funds beyond the $500,000 until the first stage of upstream measures to reduce erosion and siltation is begun," he said. will be meeting with the Deal Lake Commission to see if they can step up the firt phase of the clean up. It then may be possible to obtain money for the second step through separate legislation later this year."
