Holmdel alters
fire coverage
By Marilyn Duff
HAZLET — North Centerville Fire
Company no longer provides first-call ser­
vice to parts of northern Holmdel.
Areas previously serviced by North
Centerville are now served by Old Village
Fire Company, Route 35, Middletown.
The change went into effect over the
weekend based on action taken Thursday
by the Holmdel Township Committee.
It comes on the heels of a dispute over
Holmdel’s contribution to the Hazlet Fire
District.
The district notified Holmdel at the end
of December that unless the township in­
creased it 1993 aid from $25,000 to
$40,000, the district would cut back first-
call service to life-threatening fires only.
Holmdel Fire Department is called si­
multaneously to fires and the township
plans to build its own fire station on Route
35. Holmdel currently maintains fire sta­
tions and equipment on Route 520 in
Holmdel Village and on Crawfords Comer
Road near Town Hall.
Hazlet Fire Company, one of the three
district companies, disagreed with the ulti­
matum and said it would continue to re­
spond to all fire calls in its section of cov­
erage’ in northern Holmdel.
The Hazlet Fire Company has about 15
to 18 members who reside in Holmdel and
has provided service on a regional basis
since about 1910.
Providing coverage in Holmdel may be
a topic in this year’s upcoming fire district
election.
Three candidates are running for two
three-year terms in the election that will
take place on February 20 at the North
Centerville Fire Company.
The candidates are current board chair­
man Robert G. Weigand, and Michael
Broderick and Joseph Lamb.
Weigand, 685 Holmdel Road, is
seeking his second consecutive term. He is
a member of the Hazlet Fire Company and
a former township administrator and public
works superintendent.
Broderick, 143 Johnson Terrace, is a
detective sergeant with the Hazlet Police
Department and a member of the West
Keansburg Fire Company. Lamb, , 18
Pineknot Ave., is an employee of the
Hazlet Public Works Department.
Richard D. Wagner, whose term also
expires this month, is not seeking re-elec­
tion.
Senior directory available
The New Jersey Health Products
Council (NJHPC) is offering a revised
public service pamphlet titled, A New
Jersey Directory for Senior Citizens. The
1992 edition lists more than 120 verified
telephone numbers, including toll-free
numbers, that provide a direct link for
senior citizens to state and county
agencies. These agencies offer helpful
information for solving financial, legal,
health and welfare problems.
Since 1979, when the NJHPC directory
was first published, more than 500,000
copies have been distributed. The 1992 re­
vised directory has larger type for
increased legibility. There also is a space
for any state or community organization
using the pamphlet to stamp its name and
address.
The directory is available upon request.

Illegally dumped garbage from New York found in Cliffwood
6 tons of trash
left at Miele site
By Lauren Jaeger
ABERDEEN — Somebody out there
apparently mistook Cliffwood for a dump.
Sometime during the night of Jan. 26­
27, about 6 tons of garbage were illegally
dumped at the Miele Trucking parking lot
on County Road.
“It was apparently a trailer load of New
York City garbage,” said Nick Miele Jr.,
owner. “There is a lot of waste office paper
materials and a little bit of (building) reno­
vation debris.”
The clues were derived from several
New York City addresses found on pieces
of paper. Miele said that there was nothing
in the garbage that smelled bad, or would
attract rats or other scavengers.
“We are disgusted,” Miele said. “We’re
not sure how it will be cleaned up yet. The
state of New York should be accountable
for cleaning it up.”
The pile of junk measured 15 feet high
and 50 yards long. The New York City
Sanitation Police and the Monmouth
County Prosecutor’s Office are investigat­
ing.
In the meantime, Miele said, he is won­
dering who could have done such a thing.
“We don’t bother anyone and mind our
own business,” he said.
Patrolman Stanley Parrish discovered Photograph by Rich Schultz
