Planningthe futureCouncilman criticizestalks with developerBy ARMANDO DIANA

. FOCUS CORRESPONDENT

FRANKLIN — The TownshipCouncil talked about proper proce-dures for introducing developmentto the township after a councilmember raised his concerns overpractices at a recent council worksession.

Councilman Thomas Barrowssaid he was concerned two councilmembers and the township man-ager met recently with a developerto discuss possible uses of a vacantbuilding on Cottontail Lane.

"I don't think it's appropriate fortownship officials to be meetingwith a developer and. circumvent-ing the process," said Mr. Barrows."That's what the Planning Boardis for."

The unnamed developer is in-terested in converting the aban-doned Mercedes Benz building onCottontail Lane into a clothingwarehouse.

Councilman Bob Mettler, chair-man of the Economic Devel-opment Committee, said it is com-mon practice throughout the in-dustry for developers to informallydiscuss potential projects withtownship officials before spendingmoney on application fees.

"It is perfectly appropriate forplanners and developers to soundout township officials aboutprojects before paying an applica-tion fee," said Mr. Mettler, whowas one of the councilman in the

• meeting.According to Ellen Ritchie, di-

rector of planning, a non-refundable application fee of $650is required before the board willschedule a hearing on the matter.Mrs. Ritchie said most developersdo not want to waste time andmoney for a project the board isagainst

Township Manager John Lovellalso explained a developer's plansrepresent an investment far great-er than just the application fees.

"Most developers have to con-duct studies and hire an attorney,engineer and planner before goingbefore the planning board," hesaid, adding many developerswant to get a sense of the town-ship's predisposition before mov-ing forward with a project.

"It's not unusual for a townshipmanager to speak informally witha developer regarding possible de-velopment in a town," Mr. Lovellsaid. It is part of the manager'sjob, he added, to answer develop-

ers' questions about Franklia Ifthe township decides to standidle, he said "Franklin's economicdevelopment initiative will wasteaway very quickly."

In a phone interview, Mr. Bar-rows cited the Municipal LandUse Ordinance as outlining theproper procedure for a governingbody to follow regarding zonechanges. He also said the Plan-ning Board is beholden to a stateordinance that also summarizesproper procedures to follow.

"I have the feeling the townshipis moving away from the intent ofthe ordinance, but I could be

wrong," Mr. Barrows said."(This is) an extremely weak ar-

gument for a council member tomake," said Mayor Richard Torn-quist in response to Mr. Barrows'remarks. ,

Mayor Tornquist added he feltthere was nothing wrong withcouncil members informallyspeaking with developers aboutpossible development within thetown.

"The township must take a moreaggressive approach to com-mercial businesses," he said.

Mayor Tornquist said no deci-sions were made at the informalmeeting and the developer will go

through proper channels beforeany decision is made.

Deputy Mayor Guy Francfort,the other council member presentat the informal discussion with thedeveloper, said no details werediscussed on the developer's plansat the meeting.

According to Mr. Francfort, "Wejust talked about general uses forthe building," and whether or notthe township would be interestedin this type of development

The sticking point concernedthe developer's desire to have"limited" retail hours and a por-tion of the building zoned for com-mercial use. This request wouldentail a zoning change which mustbe brought to the Planning Boardfor approval. According to Mr.Francfort, the developer said theydesired to have "off-hours" retailtimes where customers can buygarments off the rack

Alex's tae kwon do accomplish-ments have taken him all over theUnited States. He's been to Russia,has been featured in magazinesand has appeared on telethons.

The youngsters in Alex's taekwon do classes love having himfor a teacher. And he loves teach-ing them. He has more than 30young students, many as young as4 years old. Their parents say thebenefits of having a 15-year-oldteacher are many, and Alex under-stands the reasons. He's beenstudying tae kwon do since he was6 and teaching since he was 8.

"It's easier for kids to learn fromus," Alex said. "They have an easi-er time learning from other kids.It's better than always having anadult tolling them what to do.They can relate to us."

Discipline that carries over intoother areas was another benefit ofthe program, parents said. Four-teen-year-old Ashli Servetah, whoteaches in the program with Alex,echoed the feeling that the disci-pline of the sport has helped her

She said the five tenets of taekwon do — courtesy, integrity, per-severance, self-control and indomi-table spirit — must be carried overinto her other activities. It is partof the philosophy of the art.

The philosophy is working forAlex also. He too is doing very wellin school, which he attributes inpart to his training. Although hespends more than 20 hours a weekteaching and running the school,Alex said he has ample time forhomework and socializing.

Concerns raised about textbook purchaseBy ARMANDO DIANAFOCUS CORRESPONDENT ~

FRANKLIN — A Board of Education mem-ber charged at a recent meeting the schoolboard did not follow proper procedures in rec-ommending textbooks for use with the BasicSkills Improvement Program (BSIP).

Kay Schectner, chairwoman of the PolicyCommittee, complained the Curriculum Com-mittee did not adhere to proper policy proce-dures in recommending the board purchase aseries of four books to help students in theBasic Skills Improvement Program.

"I feel we have not followed the proper crite-ria to purchase these book," Mrs. Schectnersaid at a recent conference session.

She said the board was not given anything tojudge the textbooks against as the policy dic-tates.

Mrs. Schectner said the issue was furtherclouded because the course did not have a cur-riculum.

"It concerns me that we are approving booksfor a course with no curriculum," she said.

BSIP is designed to help students who havebeen identified through standardized tests as

High_SchQol.___ _^ —

But Martha Camarda, chairperson of theCurriculum Committee, said the Basic SkillsImprovement Program is not a course, but a"corrective remediation program" designed tohelp students pass the standardized test Be-cause it is not considered a course, Mrs. Ca-marda said, the curriculum committee and theboard were not going against policy by approv-ing the textbooks.

Superintendent of Schools Dr. Dennis Clancy• explained the course is not part of a curriculumas defined by the policy.

"The books are there to supplement a child'slearning basic skills that were missed on thestandardized tests," he said.

According to Dr. Clancy, the workbooks willbe used in a review course that is not part ofthe curriculum.

"They are diagnostic prescriptive tests toprovide remediation on basic skills the childrenmissed," he said.

He added the course is designed to help stu-dents focus on those skills to better prepare forthe next test

According to Dr. Clancy, the teachers andprofessional staff recommended the books asthe proper tool needed for the review "andthat's all I need to know. That's why. I have astaff." -

Youngsters feast on 'dirt balls' at KidzaramaBy NANCY MICHELLFOCUS CORRESPONDENT

FRANKLIN — While childrenjumped to their hearts' content in-side the Moon Walk and' poppedwheelies on ride-on toys providedby Step-2 Corporation, parents gota chance to view new products andservices at the Garden State Ex-hibit Center last weekend.

The show, hosted by Kdzarama,had lots to keep both young andold entertained for the afternoon.Children and parents played at aminiature Discovery Zone, listenedto live entertainment, mingledwith Mr. Bubble and ate dirt balls,which in reality were chocolatecookies shaped into little balls.

The exhibit had a wide variety ofparticipants ranging from MarriottResorts to local dance studios pro-viding parents with information.And children had,, a great timewading through the ball room,,taste-testing cookies, choosing bal-loon animals, and participating inthe many activities hosted by thevendors.

In the local arena were OakCrest and Robbins Nest day care

centers, Woodland Music Schooland the "Villagers Theater. The Vil-'lagers volunteers hosted many ac-tivities for children visiting the ex-hibition. Director Janet Cantore-Watson performed on stage asTogo the Clown, ran theatergames, face painting, and animalpainting.

Township investigating discrepancies in legalsBy BARBARA MENDOZAFOCUS CORRESPONDENT

FRANKLIN — Mayor RichardTornquist has asked the townshipattorney to investigate an incidentlast month in which a discrepancysurfaced in dates of affidavits forlegal advertising in the SomersetSpectator.

Township officials said last weekthey want The Spectator, owned byCouncilwoman Helen Reilly, to re-solve the issue.

Mayor Richard Tomquist saidWednesday he has written a letterto Township Manager John Lovelland Township Attorney ThomasCafferty requesting a "follow-upexplanation and where responsibil-ity lies."

"If there's a problem it's up to[The Spectator] to resolve it," Mr.Tornquist said Wednesday morn-ing.

However, Dr. Madan Khare,publisher of tiie paper, saidWednesday that it was just a cleri-cal error.

"That has been corrected," Dr.Khare said. "There is nothing else.That's it"

It was revealed during a Town-ship Council meeting Tuesday,Feb. 14, there was a discrepancy innotarization dates on six legal ad-vertisements published in' TheSpectator.

According to Mr. Cafferty, docu-ments were notarized Jan. 5,1995,but were not published until Jan,19.

The township has asked TheSpectator to resubmit the af-fidavits and the tear sheets.

According to Township ClerkJean Pellicane, the affidavits andtear sheets were resubmitted andhave been sent to the Finance De-partment for payment

Mr. Cafferty said last week thatpresigning an affidavit is improperuse of a notary.

"The dates have to match underlaw," Mr. Cafferty said.

The documents are supposed tobe notarized on the same date theyare signed by the publisher.

However, according to a formeremployee of the paper, it was com-mon practice to "presign" the no-tarization documents.

Virginia Carway said pre-signingaffidavits has been a practiced formany years.

Ms. Carway, a notary who leftthe paper Jan. 5, said the publisherwould sign the blank affidavit infront of her and she would thensign it attesting it was the pub-lisher's signature.

Then the publisher, according toMs. Carway, would check the legalnotice to make sure it was correctand send it in at a later date.

According to Ms. Carway, thiswas done in the interest of savingtime and to meet deadlines placedon the paper by the township.

However, Mr. Cafferty said, thisis improper.

Mrs. Pellicane said Wednesday,to the best of her knowledge, theonly filing requirement is that the

township receive the affidavit be-fore any public hearings.

"Other than that I don't know ofany deadline," Mrs. Pellicane said.

Ms. Carway said that she wasnot aware that this was improperbecause it had been going on formany years.

Mr. Tornquist said this is thefirst time there has been a discrep-ancy in dates on affidavits.

"This is something, like [Mr.Cafferty] said, that should havenever occurred," Mr. Tornquistsaid.

Mr. Tornquist said if it was aclerical error, he wants to knowwho is responsible for the mistake.

"I want to make sure the errorthat was made was made from an-other source and is not the respon-sibility of the township," Mr. Torn-quist said.

He added that if it is the town-.ship's problem, steps will be takento have it corrected.

However, if it was an error madeby The Spectator, the councilwould have to decide what steps itwill take.

"I would think that before wedid anything we'd ask for a com-plete explanation and then, at thatpoint in time, decide what you aregoing to do," Mr. Tornquist said.

The legal ads in question in-clude one in the amount of $113.28for the sale of township ownedland; a second in the amount of$82.08 for the formation of-theEconomic Development Commit-

to amend the handicapped parkingzone and a fourth in the amount of$159.84 for the health benefits or-dinance. The fifth is to advertisebonding for the new rescue squadbuilding at a cost of $50.40 and thesixth is to extend the curfew law ata cost of $29.28.

According to the township's in-terpretation of the state las, Frank-lin must publish all its legal adver-tising in a newspaper that is physi-cally published in the township.

The Somerset Spectator is theonly paper that fits the criteriaspelled out by the state law.

Last year the council had askedthat the township advertise in an-other paper.

But Mr. Cafferty said until thestate law is changed, it would haveto publish its legal advertisementsin The Spectator.

In 1994, the township spent$6,000 on legal advertising withThe Spectator.

Four groups apply for block grant fundsBy BARBARA MEWDOZAFOCUS CORRESPONDENT

FRANKLIN — Several applica-tions for Community Block Grantswere endorsed by the governingbody last week.

Now the grants will be submit-ted to the county for approval.

Catholic Charities, PurposeFinders ministry, Family Counsel-ing Service, ADT1 Housing Corp.,and Developmental Disabilities As-sociation of New Jersey all weregiven the support of the councilafter public hearings last Tuesday.Now it is up to the CommunityDevelopment Block Grant commi-sion to decide where the moneywill go.

Catholic Charities is asking thecounty for $60,000 to fund opera-tional costs associated with a tem-porary housing facility for home-less men.

According to representatives ofthe organization, the funding, ifapproved by the county, will beused to pay for professional staff.

Catholic Charities has not yetfound a location for the housing,said Mary Davies, associate execu-tive director.

However, she said, the housingwould be located somewhere inSomerset County.

According to Mrs. Davies, thereis a need in Franklin for this typeof facility. It would provide bedsfor 10 men on a regular basis andthere would be two beds for emer-gency cases and two for veterans.

Hughes House, the name of thefacility, would provide job trainingand other life skills so the mencould get back on their feet

Freeholder Michael Pappas, whowas present at the council meet-ing, told the governing body thecounty Board of Social Servicessupports this plan.

"We're committed to seeing thisfacility in operation," Mr. Pappassaid

Marilyn Whitman, a representa-tive of the organization, said it haslocated several possible sites for

Hughes House in the township.According to Mr. Pappas, before

any property is bought by the or-ganization for Hughes House, itmust first go through the munici-pal zoning process.

"We're hoping the financing isthere," Mr. Pappas said.

Purpose Finders Ministry is alsolooking for $60,000 from theCDBG.

With the money the organizationwould set up an outreach programfor troubled youth, according toWilbert E. Tribbett, a group repre-sentative.

The organization would workwith children and their families tohelp build self-esteem, academics,self-study and to expose the chil-dren to a variety of situations.

"We believe exposing them topositive situations could impacttheir lives," Mr. Tribbett said.

ADT1 Housing, which is run byAlternatives Inc., is also in searchof grant money.

The organization is asking thecounty for $22,500 to select a sitein the township to be marketed aslow income rental properties.

The money would be used to se-lect an appropriate site and thenthe group would apply to the statefor funding.

This rental housing would beavailable to those who make 50percent less than the median in-come in the county.

FRANKLIN — A Somerset company is joining thefight against drugs by purchasing a board-gamewhose manufacturer donates $2 of the purchase priceto an anti-drug program.

regarding drugs and allows them to discuss possiblealternatives with their parents. Designed in a mul-tiple choice format, Mrs. Mazzei says the game helpsbuild a child's self-esteem through facts about drugs,crime, law and safely. Mrs. Mazzei says the gameoffers a nonthreatening environment that "opens thedoor to better communication and better relation-ships."

"Our goal is to help kids become winners in life,"she said.

According to Mrs. Mazzei, Momentum Inc., thecompany that manufacturers the game, donates $2 ofeach purchase to an anti-drug program of the pur-chasers' choice.

The donation will go to Mayors Against Drugs Ad-dicting Youth (MADAY), which is an organization hecreated when he was mayor of Old Bridge MADAY isa program that enables mayors across the country toshare information concerning anti-drug programs.

Construction to start on first aid buildingBy BARBARA MENDOZAFOCUS CORRESPONDENT

FRANKLIN - Construction onnew headquarters for the FranklinSomerset First Aid Squad is ex-pected to begin early in the sum-mer now the township has agreedto fund the project.

The governing body unani-mously voted Tuesday to endorsethe plan to construct a new facilityand refurbish an aging rig byagreeing to collect $350,000 in gen-eral obligation bonds to fund theproject.

"We're very pleased and veryhappy, especially with the supportof Township Council," said squadpresident Jim Grissom.

Now the squad is working onsubmitting plans for the 5,000-square-foot structure to the Plan-

ning Board for approval.The plans, Mr. Grissom said,

should be submitted by month'send.

Bids for the project can be ac-cepted 60 days after board ap-proval, Mr. Grissom said. Thisshould allow work to begin in earlysummer.

"If everything goes well andthere are no problems we shouldbe able to complete (the project)before winter," Mr. Grissom said.

He said he first approached thegoverning body back in Januaryasking that it approve funding forthe project.

He told the Township Councilthe building currently being usedby the squad is "unsafe as itstands."

The new building, to include atraining room, bunk facilities, of-

fices and a day room, will be con-structed behind the current build-ing off Girard Avenue.

Once it is completed, the town-ship will take possession of thebuilding and property.

The new facility would allowfirst aid and CPR training coursesfor the general public. Currently,the squad is unable to offer thoseservices because of space con-

straints and the condition of thebuilding. .

The current facility, which wasbuilt as a temporary structure in1975, was condemned about fiveyears ago, Mr. Grissom said.

The squad has been working onhaving a new facility constructedsince that time.

However, budgetary constraintshave forced the project to be put •

on hold.Now the funding is in place.However, if the project exceeds

the money allocated, the squadwill raise any additional funding.

Of the $350,000, the squad willset aside $60,000 for the refurbish-ing of its 1984 Ford rig.

The rig would be totally refur-bished and a new diesel enginewould be installed.

In the spiritResuscitating volunteerism is allin the way you make the call

Calling all volunteers is an announcement that seems to havefallen on deaf ears in recent years. Busy lifestyles or genuineapathy have taken a toll on services which depend heavily onthe strength of its volunteer force.

But reaching out to those who have retired and have tree timeand a desire to use it constructively has been the goal of PoliceChief Daniel Iivak, who recently went to senior citizens groupsin search of recruits to man the front desk in police headquar-ters. Chief Iivak, seeking to further his Operation Cooperationprogram — an effort that seeks to improve police/communityrelations — has found that senior citizens are just one segmentof the population that has a lot to give. Joseph Walker andAngela Kimball — the chiefs volunteer recruits — are two peo-ple who embody the volunteerism spirit, wanting to keep them-selves active in the township.

Both are from a different era, when people had more time —and seemed more interested — in becoming involved in activi-ties outside work and home. Perhaps one problem today withsustaining a healthy volunteer force has been that not enough ofthis kind of teaching has been handed down from one genera-tion to the next Everyone seemed to get busier about 20 yearsago; parents consumed with the task of making a living have

' had time to think of little else. And the self-indulged generationof the'80s was not likely to beef up the volunteer forces.

The '90s may prove to be a turning point in the downwardtrend of the volunteer movement. Maybe people like JosephWalker and Angela Kimball can make a difference by educatingtoday's generation on the need to look outside their boundariesof work and home, to realize there's a bigger world out there andthat they have something to offer. Volunteering doesn't alwaysmean a big commitment; it's not something you need a degreefor. It could entail three hours on a weekend or a few hours onenight a week. It could be as easy or as difficult as you make i t

Residents tell merits of township lifeI was at a social gathering of

Franklin Township residents lastweek and decided to take an infor-mal poll, asking them what theylike best about living here. Here iswhat I was told:

"My kids can grow up withoutprejudice in regards to race, reli-gion, etc. I attribute this to ourmagnet school system, which hasallowed children from differentneighborhoods to mix together.One of my children's teachers toldme recently that my children weretotally accepting of others. Thiscomment meant more to me thanwords can say." '

"I am a native of Metuchen.What I like best about living hereis that it is not as congested."

"My children are the big winnersof our relocation here. Franklinhas all kinds of programs forthem, and one of our favorites isthe summertime Safety Town."

"I like the friendly atmosphere.We have lived here for 14 yearsand have always found it to be awelcoming community."

"The cost of the recreational pro-grams is really quite reasonable.Everyone can afford to par-ticipate."

La Trattoria to be razed...and rebuilt by ownerBy ARMANDO DIANAFOCUS CORRESPONDENT

FRANKLIN - If the PlanningBoard accepts the final plans forthe proposed construction of aBoston Chicken restaurant at theSomerset Village Shopping Centeron Easton Avenue, it will neces-sitate the destruction of the LaTrattoria restaurant which now oc-cupies the site.

"We went in there (the shoppingcenter) with the knowledge thatsomething bigger would replaceus," said Nick Borzone, one of theLa Trattoria owners.

According to Mr. Borzone,throughout the years, he and hispartner thought it would be a bankor a gas station that would replacethe 5-year old structure.

"We're really very happy that aBoston Chicken restaurant is com-ing in," he said. "It will help all thetenants of the shopping center."

Mr. Borzone said most tenantsare expecting an increase in busi-ness due to increased patrons en-tering the shopping center becauseof Boston Chicken.

Although Mr. Borzone is losinghis structure, if he has his way, hisrestaurant will be resurrected 50yards away. Mr. Borzone said he isplanning to renovate an emptylaundromat in the shopping centerinto a rejuvenated La Trattoria res-taurant According to Mr. Borzone,•he will- ask the Planning Board toallow him to construct an outdoor

cafe in conjunction with hisplanned restaurant

"The new place will have thesame intimate, cozy atmosphere ofthe existing restaurant,", said Mr.Borzone, "but we're going to see ifwe can offer our customers an out-door cafe."

Mr. Borzone said he and hispartner, Jim D'Angelo, are excitedabout an opportunity to do some-thing different

At the Feb. 1 Planning Boardmeeting, Mr. Borzone spoke ofneeding a challenge to invigoratethe day-to-day activities of runninga restaurant He said the BostonChicken restaurant will also helphim in his new location because

zens Club welcomed 135 membersand guests to celebrate the organi-zation's 21st anniversary at aluncheon dance Feb. 13 at McA-teer's Restaurant on Easton Av-enue.

All five living past presidents offfie "club were at the luncheon.Present were Mary Jusewick, theclub's first president, who served1974-76; Mary Ann ^chevarria,who served 1977-78 and 1980-81;Irma Grykien, who served 1981-84;Howard Wren, who presided 1984-86; and Eugene Pillar who waspresident in 1987-88.

In a brief ceremony, lifetimemembership cards were presentedto Mrs. Echevarria and Mrs.Jusewick.

Former presidents of the dubwho have died, and the years inwhich they served, are MargaretSchatkowski (1976-77); Wilfred E.Scott (1978-80); Margaret Dixon(1989-90); and T.illian Bodnarik(1991-92).

All but one of the original mem-bers who served as officers whenthe club was formed in 1974 werepresent at this week's luncheon.They included Mary Jusewick,president; Mary Ann Echevarria,

vice president; Irene Pellichero,secretary, Ethel Pellichero, trea-surer; and Agnes Leitinger, Sun-shine Committee chairman. OnlyIina Bronzolini, hospitality chair-man, was missing.

The Franklin Park Senior Citi-zens Club was founded Feb.. 14,1974 at a meeting in the Six MileRun Reformed Church in FranklinPark. The meeting was sponsoredby Franklin's Parks and Recre-ation Department

Among those present were se-niors from the Franklin Park, lit-tle Rocky Hill and Kingston sec-tions of Franklin, who had beenmeeting informally at one an-other's homes and wanted to or-ganize a club. Also in attendancewere representatives of the fledg-ling Frairtklin Township Senior Cit-izens Club which had been organ-ized a few months earlier.

During the Franklin Park club'searly years, its primary source ofincome was a Dark Horse Raffle.Each week someone would bringsome small, usually handmade,trinket to the meeting. It was raf-fled off for 25 cents a chance.When the club had grown largerand handmade gifts no longerseemed appropriate, a $5 door

prize was drawn by lot each week.This was continued until dues,originally $2 dollars a year, wereraised to $10 dollars in 1992.

Almost from its inception, theFranklin Park Senior CitizensClub met each Wednesday in thePhillips School Community Centerin Franklin Park. The building hadbeen leased by the township for adollar a year from the Board ofEducation. The building gradually

deteriorated until, in 1990, theState of New Jersey, after an in-spection of the premises, madeknown its intention to condemn i t

The Franklin Park Seniorsasked the township for help inpreserving their meeting place,which was also the only com-munity center in the 45 squaremiles of Franklin Township. Thecouncil agreed to replace the

former school building with a newsenior/community building to belocated in the Municipal Complexon DeMott Lane, however, thoseplans eventually were voted downby the Township Council.

The. Franklin Park Senior Citi-zens Club is now meeting in theCouncil Chambers of the Munici-pal Building, where its membersmeet each Wednesday at 1 p.m.

Warriors knocked out of SCTBy MIKE D. SKARA

RANDALL MILLER/THE FOCUS

Senior Ernest Terrell and the rest of the Franklin High Schoolboys basketball team was knocked out of the Somerset CountyTournament Tuesday.

TOE FOCUS

SOMERVILLE - The simpleststrategy to construct and most dif-ficult to execute earned the Pan-thers their easiest victory this sea-son.

By consistently hitting jumpshots from way beyond the three-point line, the second seededBridgewater-Raritan High Schoolboys basketball team (15-5) out-scored No. 3 Franklin (16-5) earlyen route to a 74-48 victory in thesemifinals of the Somerset CountyTournament Tuesday and earnedthe right to face Immaculata in thefinal 8 p.m. today at Bridgewater-Raritan High.

Bridgewater senior forwardBryan Dilgard was very surprisedat how easily his team dispatchedFranklin, a team which forced B-Rinto overtime Jan. 24.

"No one could have expected itat all because we played two closegames with them earlier in theyear," said Dilgard, who scored agame-high 22 points including 13in the first quarter. "This isn'tsomething I could have expectedin my wildest dreams. I didn'tthink we'd beat them by so much."

"A loss like that leaves a badtaste in your mouth and maybe weneed that," said Franklin HeadCoach Kurt Fenchel. "In a lot ofaspects we didn't get anythingthing done'. There's no substitutefor that experience. That's why Ihad some sophomores and juniorsout there."

Franklin won the Up, scored firstand prevented B-R from scoringfor more than a minute. But oncethe Panthers got their passinggame going, they couldn't be

slopped.The Panthers employed the

same maneuver almost every timedown the court in the first quarter.They got the ball down on onewing to move the Franklin defenseand then made two quick passesto an open man on the other wingstanding past the three-pointstripe.

"We knew they were a goodshooting team, but we didn't de-fend against outside shot verywell," said Fenchel, whose teamwill host Highstown 7 p.m. March1 in the Central Jersey Group 3

7 give Franklin a lot of credit.They didn't gjve up. Theyplayed until the final buzzer1

tourney. "Usually that's purstrength. That's a breakdown wedon't want in a game like thatHonestly, I'm a little disappointedin our effort in the first quarter."

"You couldn't have a better firstquarter," said Bridgewater HeadCoach Tim Ortelli, whose team hitnine of its first 12 shots to go up24-8 after eight minutes. "We werelooking for the open man, arid wecame out and hit the shots. Any-one out on the floor has the greenlight to shoot if he has a goodshot"

More times than not, that 'any-one' was Dilgard

"He showed a lot of poise andconfidence," said Ortelli

'Tve been getting the ball in theopen," said Dilgard, "and a good

shooter should hit that shot."Lately we've all been playing

really well," he added. "It's allcome together at the end of theseason."

Diminutive freshman JamesWallace also scored three of his 11points in the first quarter. Despitebeing the shortest player by far,Waltoce came up big against Fran-klin's more experienced guards.

"Our freshman showed a tre-mendous amount of composure,and that's why he's playing," saidOrtelli.

The Panthers increased theirlead in the second quarter, chang-ing tactics as Franklin adjusted itsdefense. When the Warriors spreadout to stop the long-range shot, B-R started slashing to the basket.Wykeum Gilyard scored six of his18 points during that quarter bydriving the lane.

Franklin again changed defen-sive tactics in the third quarter,trying to press Bridgewater intomaking turnovers. A few times itworked, but more often, than notthe Warriors were called for reach-in fouls. The Panthers convertedon most of their free throws, butFranklin didn't lose any moreground. Center Reggie Garrettscored six of his eight points in thethird.

"I give Franklin a lot of credit,"said Ortelli. "They didn't give up.They played until the final buzz-er."

Girls swim team edged by No. 1 Ocean in state meetBy MIKED.SKARATHEFOCUS

MONMOUTH BEACH — It'sunderstandable for Franklin HighSchool Head swimming coachCynthia Mooyman to look backand agonize over every minute de-tail of Thursday night's meet.

' Her team came within twopoints of upsetting top-seededOcean in the Central/South JerseyB Division Tournament, and theWarriors had a chance to wingoing into the 400 freestyle relay.

"In the last relay we needed firstand third to win, but we ended up.first and fourth," said Mooyman,whose team finished at 13-4."Maybe if I had made the firstrelay weaker we might have done

fourth." •Ocean's two relay teams finished

before Franklin's second one to se-cure an 86-84 victory.

"It feels kind of empty to loselike that," said Mooyman. "It's notthat they swam bad, but I knewtaking out No. 1 would be a bigupset. I'm pretty OK with it be-cause we came that dose and wewere missing a few people. I thinkwe probably would have beenknocked out in semifinals."

But Mooyman expects her teamshould be able to qualify againnext season since there are veryfew seniors graduating this year.

"We should be very strong," shesaid, "This was a rebuilding year,yet we. came in second in confer-ence."|.ilqpJwmpi:'% ..sensatipn, 0Katie,Anderson Tiad an exceptional

Franklin girls aren't done yetBy MIKE D. SKARATHEFOCUS

While they won't be playing anygames against other schools for awhile, practice isn't over for theFranklin High School girls bas-ketball team.

The Warriors may have endedtheir 1995 season on a high noteTuesday, topping Montgomery 43-36 to finish at 5-18 on the year, butHead Coach Yvonne Sheard is al-ready getting her team ready fornext year.

"We have to keep at it," saidSheard, whose team started itstwice-per-week weight trainingschedule Wednesday. "Things aregoing to get better as long as wekeep working. We're not going tobe losing any starters; that shouldhelp, too."

Lyons leadsSt. MatthiasBy MIKE P. SKARATHEFOCUS

The game hung in the balance,but the gravity of a single freethrow from forward Ben Lyonswith three seconds left gave StMatthias of Somerset the weight tosink Immaculate Conception Blue39-38.

"It was a seesaw game all theway," said coach Fred Herrmann,whose team moved to 8-4 overall."There were probably five or sixlead changes. We had a four-pointlead at the half, but they stayedwith us."

IC Blue had a chance to win thegame with one second left, but itsshot fell short

As has been the case almost,every game Lyons led St. Matthias'with 20 points and Mike Piagentinihad five. John Anderson, Tom Du-pras and Jim Jackson each nettedfour points. Herrmann was alsopleased with the defense of WillieDupree.

Now that St. Matthias hasmoved past IC Blue and into thirdplace in the Metuchen DioceseChristain Youth OrganizationLeague, Herrmann seems to beconfident his team will play in thepostseason.

"With two games left, we shouldbe in the A tourney," said Her-rmann, whose team is 6-2 inleague games. "If we stay in thirdplace, well play St Helene's. Theybeat us the first time, so we wantto play them again."

St Matthias will next play Ourd f Fatima •ins Piscataway,' 'a

Besides weight training, theFranklin athletes will be workingtogether in a team camp June 19-23 at Franklin High School andare likely to join a summer leagueaswelL

Because of it, the Warriors couldimprove at an even faster pacethan they did at the end of theseason.

"The last four or five games wewere playing much better, execut-ing more," said Sheard. "It wasgood to least end with a win. Itwas a good solid game for bothteams."

Led by Tanisha Brown's 18points and eight more from DajaGeorgiana, Franklin opened a siz-able lead in the second half butallowed Montgomery to climb backinto the game.

"We had the lead for the major-

ity of the game, and at one pointwe were ahead by about 14," saidSheard. "But we're not used tobeing ahead. We started throwingthe ball around and on defense wewere just watching. We have thepeople, but we weren't rebound-ing."

Smith boys hoops clubfalls to HillsboroughBy MIKED.SKARATHEFOCUS

Sometimes playing well and los-ing is just as good as earning awin.

The Sampson G. Smith Inter-mediate School boys basketballteam came up a little short againstHillsborough Tuesday, falling 55-48, but coach Lee Blum couldn'tbe more pleased with his team.

"It was certainly one of our bestgames of the year in terms of ef-fort and quality of opponent," saidBlum, whose team finished theyear at 74. T m proud of the waywe battled. It really was one of ourbetter games."

Miles Johnson was the leader of-fensively for Franklin, scoring 20points and snaring 10 rebounds.

"Miles is a good leader and hemakes things happen," said Blum."He finds the open man and hegoes to the balL He should playright away on the freshman teamnext year."

On the defensive end, JeremySummers' effort kept the Franklin

team in the game."Jeremy played a great game to-

night," said Blum. "He was a bigreason we held our own. He hasall-around skills and he's got thesize.".

Besides the benefit the playersreceived by getting a chance to de-velop their skills over an 11-gameschedule, Blum believes the rest ofthe student body gets somethingout of the team as well.

"I think it meant alot for stu-dents to follow the team," saidBlum, who will get a chance tocoach several of the SGS athletesnext year when they play on theFranklin High School freshmanfootball team. "It gave them someschool spirit once the word startedgetting around. Hopefully we'll getsome more guys who are in sev-enth grade now to come out forthe team next year."

Sampson G. Smith 43, Sayre-vttle 36 — Jimmy Estevez andAnthony Devonish both scored 14points to lead the Franklin club tovictory Thursday.
