Barbara Marschall, 49, pleaded guilty Oct. 20 to using money from her now 20-year-old daughter's trust fund which had been established solely for the daughter for her own benefit while having no authority to do so, the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office said Tuesday in a statement. Specifically, Marschall bought luxury cars, including Mercedes-Benz and Porsche convertibles; took lavish vacations; and bought a plasma-screen television and a tanning bed, according to prosecutors. She also used the money to buy cocaine and heroin and pay for bail and legal fees associated with arrests on drug-possession charges, prosecutors said.

QUIRK FREEHOLD BUREAU At the beginning of 2003, it seemed far-fetched to think that Michael J. Panter Jr. and Dr. Robert Morgan, a pair of Democrats with no previous government experience, could derail the Republican juggernaut that had controlled the 12th Legislative District for more than three decades. But by the end of that year, a stream of frontpage revelations about Senate President John O.
Bennett III's profiting at taxpayer expense swayed voters, who put three long-serving incumbents out of office. When the smoke cleared, Ellen Karcher, then the Marlboro Township Council president, had defeated Bennett, then the most powerful elected Republican in the state. And Panter and Morgan, Karcher's running mates, See 12th, Page A2 Coming Friday Take along our Tillie mask to the 2005 Weird N.J. Halloween Party on Saturday at The Stone Pony. JERSEY ALIVE!

(STAFF PHOTO: TANYA BREEN) Shortages THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MIAMI Thousands of increasingly angry Floridians spent Wednesday searching for gasoline, food, water, building materials or other aid supplies. Sometimes they waited in vain, at gas stations with no fuel or electricity, or at some aid distribution centers where, on a day before, promised trucks filled with necessities never materialized. angering Florida residents Drivers in the Miami area waited for hours, some overnight, for a chance to fill up at a Sam's Club gas station, and when the line got snarled, anxious motorists screamed at each other as several police officers tried to restore order. "This is like the Third World," said Claudia Shaw, a native of Colombia who said she never saw such conditions in her home country not even when the power went out. "We live in a state where we suffer from these storms every year.
Where is the planning?" At least one relief site of 11 in Miami-Dade County ran out of supplies Wednesday, and others were running low, Mayor Carlos Alvarez said. GOV. BUSH: BLAME FLA.

O'Connor resigned Monday in the middle of his sixth season as head coach because he said he believed the administration undermined his authority after he dismissed a player from the team on Saturday and that player was reinstated by the administration on Monday. On Wednesday, Holmdel assistant coaches Robert Kearns, Mark Van Horn, Harry Anderson, Ed Helfrey, Jeff Philhower, Bill Graybush, John Bird, Dave Menges and Pete Raspitzi all resigned effective immediately, according to Holmdel athletic director Laurie Cancalosi.

TEMPERATURES BREAKFAST LUNCH When the waters that washed across the Boulevard receded, it was not flooding that Long Beach Island officials were primarily concerned with but beach erosion. Harvey Cedars, Beach Haven and several areas of Long Beach Township suffered severe damage to their beaches and dunes in Tuesday's nor'easter, according to the state Department of Environmental Protection.
To Anthony Aukstikalnis, who has lived in Harvey Cedars since 1992, it's all part and parcel of living on Long Beach Island. It does not mean he does not fear damage or loss of his home in such circumstances. "Of course you get nerto vous," Aukstikalnis said, but he added, "You also are pretty used to it." The Army Corps of Engineers' beach replenishment project, he said, will be a big improvement once it is completed. Throughout southern Ocean County, residents and officials coped with the aftermath of a rainstorm that cut into dunes and gave new meaning to the term "waterfront property" in several towns. "These are areas where shore replenishment work is perately needed to protect the infrastructure, businesses, homes and potentially people's lives," the Jersey Shore Partnership, a group that lobbies for funding to protect the shore, said in a statement Wednesday.

With a new state law essentially allowing any registered voter to make choices using an absentee ballot, the campaigns for both U.S. Sen. Jon S.
Corzine, and Republican Doug Forrester have pushed to get out the vote early. Absentee ballots must be received by county boards of election by 8 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 8, whether sent by mail or hand-delivered. But it's unclear whether the new law and campaign efforts will make a difference.
Rutgers University political scientist Ingrid Reed said it's hard to tell if the law will lead to more people voting, or if the same voters will just use a new method.
