BUNTERDQf Jessie T. Meningitis not on the rise The Courier-News B3 Wednesday. February 16. 1983 Sarah von Stade, opera star's mother Continued from Page Bl "I'm not dismissing it, but I do feel it's a problem of reporting." Mojica said. "It's frustrating sometimes to keep records when hospitals and health-care facilities are not reporting the disease." While meningitis has a reputation as a highly contagious disease, health officials said it poses little danger for people who are not part of the victim's immediate family.

The organism that causes the infection often exists in the nasal passages of healthy people and is transmitted by mouth-to-mouth contact. Outbreaks frequently occur in military barracks because people from many parts of the country are together, Cochi said. One of the worst outbreaks in New Jersey occurred in 1975 at the Trenton State College campus. The bacterial form causes the covering of the brain to swell and may Newbo Guild Her husband.

Because the brain stem and upper part of the spinal cord control breathing, meningitis also damages the body's respiratory system. Little is known about bow the disease begins, but Cochi said there is some evidence to indicate people with respiratory infections may be more susceptible. In fact, a 4-month-old Plainfield girl, Sasha Nassy, died Dec. 17 in Middlesex General-University Hospital from a respiratory disease that was complicated by meningitis, the city health department reported. Bacterial meningitis can be cured with antibiotics and the viral form often is treated in the same way as a cold.

Vaccines are available, but Cochi said they take 10 to 14 days to work. People are most likely to catch the disease in the first few days after they have been exposed to it. Harry Smith, chairman of the Hillsborough Municipal Utilities Authority, Kissanis said. Township Committeeman Joseph Sullivan said the proposal will allow Hillsborough to "be in the driver's seat" even though the county has the power to place a facility where it pleases. He said the Township Committee unani-; mously endorsed the idea, and plansto pursue it "with optimism and caution." The plan replaces, at least temporarily, Somerset's proposal to locate a $7.3 million landfill in the Stavola Construction Materials Inc.

quarry on Chimney Rock Road in Bridgewater. That plan was withdrawn after fierce opposition from Bridgewater residents, but may be considered again if Hughey refuses to extend the county's deadline for dumping in Middlesex. The road package presented to Kean last month by officials in Hillsborough, Montgomery and Franklin, would use some $188 million of the $245 million in fed- -eral funds released when Congress scrapped the 1-95 project.

Not Available at Hackettstown, Somerset and Hillsborough Continued from Page Bl Middlesex County. Because the state has mandated that Somerset County dispose of its own garbage, and because the alternate road is considered essential for access to the suggested resource recovery facility, officials expect the state may look kindly on both features of the plan. "I think the county's decision to go forward with a total resource recovery program is a good one," Somerset County Freeholder John Kitchen said last night.

According to Somerset County Freeholder Warren Nevins, who oversees public works, the plan also could create jobs in the construction of both the road and the resource recovery facility. Kissanis said a "blue-ribbon" committee of citizens will be appointed to study the idea. The group also will review the possibility of rezoning the industrial area for office and research. Kissanis placed the cost of a resource recovery facility at between $80 million and $100 million. Because Hillsborough officials would refuse to accept the facility before an alternate road is built, Nevins estimated resource recovery might not begin for up to six years.

The idea was proposed by 3 thieves at Continued from Page Bl Guertin said. "We didn't fire because it would have been hazardous to the other traffic at the time. "After pursuing the men northbound on the parkway and through a roadblock near the Union toll plaza, several more shots were fired by the suspects on the entrance ramp to Route 24.
