KUMERDANK, 87, of OLD BRIDGE, died Sunday at Re- ELSEWHERE ABULFAZ ELCHIBEY, AZERBAIJAN'S first president after the 1991 breakup of the Soviet Union, died Tuesday of prostate cancer and a lung infection. He was 62.

Mr. Elchibey had been hospitalized in Ankara, Turkey, since July. He had undergone prostate surgery in April. A former dissident who spent years in prison for anti-Soviet activities, Mr. Elchibey became the first elected president of the oil-rich Caucasus republic in 1992.

He was forced from office in June 1993 by current President Geidar Aliev, who took over after a military mutiny. During his year in power, Mr. Elchibey tried to end fighting between Azerbaijan and neighboring Armenia over the disputed region.of Nagorno-Karabakh, a conflict for which Azerbaijan's military was poorly prepared. Mr. Elchibey ordered a temporary cease-fire in 1993, but the move proved to be unpopular.

Azeri troops suffered major defeats at the hands of the better armed and trained Armenians, who took control of the enclave and seized parts of Azerbaijan itself. Disgruntled officers accused Mr. Elchibey of bungling the war and he was forced from office after rebels marched on the capital, Baku. Aliev, who led the region during the Soviet era, later took power. "I felt great sorrow over Elchibey's death," a sad-looking Aliev said, in a televised message that was aired by Turkey's private NTV television.

After his ouster, Mr. Elchibey returned to his home province of Nakhichevan, an enclave cut off from Azerbaijan by Armenia. He later became chairman of the main opposition group, Azerbaijani Popular Front. He was charged in 1998 with insulting the president's honor, after alleging that Aliev was involved in creating the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK. The PKK has been outlawed as a terrorist organization in Turkey, which has close ties with Azerbaijan.

Aliev, an autocratic but widely popular leader, urged the Baku city court to drop the proceedings last year. Mr. Elchibey was close to Turkish nationalists, who call for the union countries. Azerbaijan shares close ethnic bonds with Turkey and the Azeri language is easily understood by Turks. "He was a lover of the Turkic world," Turkish Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit said.

"He was a valuable politician raised by Azerbaijan." Mr. Elchibey's body will be flown to Azerbaijan for a state funeral, said Memed Aliev, Azerbaijan's ambassador to Turkey. The ambassador is not related to the president. Mr. Elchibey was married and had two children and a grandchild.

The Associated Press MICHAEL MAGGIO of CHICAGO, associate artistic director of the Goodman Theatre and dean of the Theatre School at DePaul University, died Saturday of complications from post lymphoma. He was 49. Mr. Maggio served as artistic director of the Woodstock Music Theater Festival outside Chicago from 1980 to 1983. He moved on to the Northlight Theatre, then based in Evanston.

As a free-lance director, Mr. Maggio staged productions at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C., the Seattle Repertory Theatre and the Cleveland Playhouse. Appointed a Goodman associate artistic director in 1987, Maggio staged productions of Stephen Sondheim's "A Little Night Music" and "Sunday in the Park With George," as well as "Cyrano de Bergerac" and the premieres of "Black Snow" and the musical "Another Midsummer Night." The Associated Press JOAN MARSH, of OJAI, an actress who played child roles in Mary Pickford silent films and then returned to the screen as a glamorous platinum blonde, died Aug. 10. She was 85.

Ms. Marsh was the daughter of cameraman Charles Rosher when she played children in Pickford silents on which her father was cinematographer. She returned to films in the 1930s and performed through the 1950s. Her film credits included "The Little Princess" in 1917," "Daddy Long Legs" in 1919, "All Quiet on the Western Front" in 1930, "Charlie Chan on Broadway" in 1937, "Road to Zanzibar" in 1941 and "Follow the Leader" in 1944. The Associated Press JOHN LOMBARD "JACK" POWELL, of TIERRA VERDE, a three-time champion of the Southern Ocean Racing Conference and designer of a sailboat that changed the face of the sport, died Sunday.

He was 93. Mr. Powell revolutionized sailboat racing in 1961 with his design for a lightweight fiberglass yawl, the Paper Tiger. He then won back-to-back Southern Ocean Racing Conference championships in 1961 and 1962. In 1962, he was the driving force in bringing sailors from all over the world to race in St.

Petersburg at the Flying Dutchman World Championships. Seven years later, he won the SORC for the third time with the Salty Tiger, a boat he helped design with an extruded aluminum hull. Mr. Powell also was a member of the Olympic Sailing Committee and a founder of the World Ocean Racing Championship, which is now sponsored by Yachting magazine. The Associated Press HERBERT SCHEFTEL, of NEW YORK, a real estate investor and backer in the Pan Am building project, died Aug.

16. He was 92. Mr. Scheftel, who also invested in television stations, was involved in the Pan Am project with his brother, Stuart Scheftel, another partner, Alfred Burger, and several others. The Pan Am building was erected on Park Avenue behind Grand Central Terminal in 1963.

The building, which was called Grand Central City, initially was to have had several theaters, an exhibition hall and an open-air restaurant. It now is headquarters of the MetLife insurance company. Among Mr. Scheftel's other real estate projects were the Beresford and San Remo apartment buildings in New York and the Mark Hopkins Hotel in San Francisco. Mr.

Scheftel also held ownership interests in three television stations and six cable stations in the United States and Mexico. He and his first wife, Agnes Mary Scheftel, who died in 1970, were active in many charitable organizations. He was a director of Greenwich House, which helps children. The Associated Press GUSTAV "BUBI" SCHOLZ. of BERLIN, one of Germany's boxing stars, died Monday after years of declining health.

He was 70. The former European light heavyweight champion, who had a career record of 88-2-6, became a symbol of Germany's rise from the ruins of World War II to many of his countrymen. His life outside the ring constantly made headlines. He made his professional debut in 1948, and fought his way up to a 1962 world title fight against Harold Johnson of the United States. That earned the former newspaper boy a then-record sum for a German fighter of $45,000.

Mr. Scholz narrowly lost on points in front of 64,000 spectators at Olympiastadion. That fight made him a hero to many Germans, who also were fascinated by his problems with alcohol abuse and battles to overcome various setbacks, including tuberculosis and eye operations. Mr. Scholz spent three years in prison after he killed his wife, Helga, in 1984, when a gun went off while he was drunk.

The Associated Press WILLIAM A. STRETCH, of MOORESTOWN, the longtime general manager and publisher of the Courier-Post of Cherry Hill, has died. He was 81. Mr. Stretch, who lived in Haddonfield for many years before moving to Moorestown four years ago, died Sunday at Virtua-West Jersey Hospital, Marlton.

He became involved with the newspaper in 1947, when his family bought the Camden Evening Courier and Morning Post from the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin for $3 million. At the time, the paper was closed due to a labor strike and had not been published for several months. During his 29-year tenure, Mr. Stretch served as treasurer, general manager and publisher, a position he held until retiring in 1976. When the paper was sold to Gannett Co.

Inc. in 1959, Mr. Stretch served as vice of Southern New Jersey Newspapers, a Gannett subsidiary. He became the company's president in 1967, a position he held until his retirement. He was elected to the Gannett Board of Directors in 1963.

He is survived by his wife, two sons, and seven grandchildren. The Associated Press Fleet Why let the stock market have control over you, when you don't have control over the stock market? 7.00% 12-Month Term CD Let's face it. The stock market changes constantly. Up. Down.
