Use the Loop and second query in 1 page

Hello all. On a static page, I’m using the_post(); to only pull the page title, no need to start a loop here. Then I’m using Dreamweaver CS5’s database function to create a new connection and loop the post_title(); post_date(); and post_content(); from private posts only in a specific Category. The code is breaking, and moreover I’m sure WP has an easier method using wp_query…

But how do i use it? How do I script it so I don’t break the first the_post(); loop? I’m sure I’m also missing an endwhile statement in there somewhere as well.
