In his younger days, he was a pretty good
ballplayer."

Berra Golf Classic to Aid Scouts
The eighth annual Yogi Berra Celebrity Golf Classic is fast approaching on
Monday, June 15, at the Montclair Golf
Club. The significance of No. 8 not only
reminds everyone of the number of years of
the Classic, which benefits Special Needs
Scouts of the Essex Council, BSA, but it
also recalls the uniform number worn by
the New York Yankee Hall of Fame catcher
during his illustrious 19-year big league
career, which included a .285 batting average, 358 home runs, 1,430 RBI. and - incredibly enough - 14 pennant-winning seasons with the Bronx Bombers. Yogi played
in a record 75 World Series games.
The 1998 Berra Classic will feature a
number of sports greats of the past and
present, including Yogi's Montclair neighbor Larry Doby, a soon-to-be new member
of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Doby, the former Cleveland Indians
great and first African-American to play in
the American League, will be inducted into
Baseball's Hall in Cooperstown, N.Y. in
July, but will first be on hand to play in the
Berra Classic on June 15, as he has every
year.
Tickets are still available for the Berra
Classic dinner and memorabilia auction on
the evening of June 15 at $ 150 per person.

Essex Council. BSA, at 973-857-0007.
Wall Falls On Man
In South Amboy
A prefabricated wall fell on a 35-year
old construction worker at a waterfront
construction site in South Amboy recently.
Keith Sagerof Lewistown, Pa., was working alone on the second floor of a condominium, and cut the wrapping off a prefab
wall unit, but the wrapping apparently was
the only thing securing the unit. The wall.
61 feet long, and 10 feet high, fell on him
and trapped him. between the wall and first
floor ceiling. Co-workers came to his rescue after hearing his screams for help. They
put pieces of wood between the wall and
ceiling, and Sager was able to crawl out.
and was rushed by helicopter to the hospital.
Board Member Resigns
Patricia Kanecke resigned from the
South Amboy Board of Education after
serving two 1-year terms in office. She
cited personal reasons for leaving.

Talk of the Towns
Roger, Over And Out!
Well, I've finally found my old neighbor and friend Roger Swanton, Hoffman
High School Class of '66. I had not seen
nor heard from him in over 30 years, until
he recently dropped by the old neighborhood, and paid me a visit. Unfortunately, I
was working! He left his phone number,
where he resides in , 'ole Mississippi, and
we talked forabout an hour. He iscurrently
retired from a highly successful career in
the U.S Navy and now works in a securityrelated field. Rog is still the super person
he was back then!
House Is Doing Fine!
I received a letter from former South
Amboy resident, Tom House, who is doing
fine in Arizona. Tom's dad, Irv was a very
popular, and terrific writer with a local
paperinthe 1960's. Hiscolumn was called
"House's Corner."
Milton Is Doing Great At 88!
The mailman brought me another letter from another former South Amboy resident, Milton Newmark who currently resides in Massachusetts. He told me about
those great St. Mary' s-South Amboy sports
rivalries back in the late 1920's. Milt was
a 4-letter winner in high school. He worked
for 47 years at DuPont, and sounds like a
most interesting gentleman. Milton, now a
healthy 88, is the brother of Morgan's popular Bernie Newmark, who was at one time
part owner of Albcrn's Seafood.

Thomas Mundy Peterson Day is Official!
Americans experienced in securing it,"
noted Friscia (D-Middlesex). "This formal
designation would be a fitting memorial of
Peterson's historic vote opening the door
for African Americans to more fully take
part in the political process."
The passing of this legislation commemorates March 31 of every year as Thomas Mundy Peterson Day.
"The official celebration of this day
honors both Thomas Mundy Peterson and
the city of Perth Amboy in which Peterson
lived for nearly eighty years," said Vitale
(D-Middlesex). "This is a fitting testament
to a pioneering individual and the community that embraced him."
Legislation sponsored by Assembly
Deputy Conference Leader John S.
Wisniewski that would establish March 31
as Thomas Mundy Peterson Day has received the Governor's official seal of approval recently.
Assembly Associate Minority Leader
Arline Friscia was the co-prime sponsor of
the bi 11. Senators Joseph Vitale and Wynona
Lipman sponsored the Senate version of
the bill.
"Thomas Mundy Peterson was an extraordinary individual. It is only fitting that
March 31 be celebrated in memory of what
he stood for," said Wisniewski (DMiddlesex). "He symbolized the courage
and determination of our ancestors to guarantee the right to vote for all future Americans. This is not a day that should be easily
forgotten."
Thomas Mundy Peterson was the first
African American to vote in the United
States following the passage of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution. He
cast his vote in a municipal charter referendum in the city of Perth Amboy on March
31, 1870.
"The celebration of this day illustrates
the importance of the vote in our democratic process and the difficulties many

The Duke of The
Diamond
By AlGomolkaJr.
Times Poet Laureate c.1998
As a child I had my idols
Jesus, my father, and the "Duke "
And many a times
I would look to confide
In their powers I couldu '/ rebuke.
Throughout my life they established
That being good is the real thing
hi Jesus, my savior
In dad, my behavior
In Duke, my baseball being.
My dad once gave me a baseball card
Of royalty swinging a bat
I followed this star
Brooklyn to afar
Edwin Snider to me tipped his hat.
Not just homers, but character yielded
To this young lad made his mark
Hall of Fame bid its call
On how he played his ball
With his psychol in and out of the park
He was pushed with pressure and talent
To be the best he could be
Excellence and no less
And to be nice in the process
Now, admired and respected is he.
There was Willie, there was Mickey
But I liked Duke the best
'Til this day he stays one of my heroes
Along with Jesus, and Dad in life's quest.

By Virginia Stillwagon
Last month, I closed my column with
the statement "The Circus-Hell on earth".
Undercover investigations have shown that
animals in the entertainment industry are
often trained with whips, hooks, and electric shocks to perform. In addition to the
cruel training, they are kept confined in
small cages or transport vehicles, most of
the time with food, water and exercise
provided sporadically. Many are declawed,
defanged, and kept muzzled, chained and
sedated.
The elephant, one of the most intelligent and family oriented animals is one of
the most abused. They are confined to
small, dirty railroad cars or trucks, often
unheated and uncooled for up to 300 days a
year. They are kept thirsty to avoid messes,
deprived of mud and leaves which they use
to lubricate their skin. When not performing they are always chained, sometimes all
4 legs as punishment. Is it any wonder they
turn on their human captors? In 1992,
Janet, ran amok while giving rides at a
Florida circus. She stomped a security
guard and injured 5 otherpeople. 43 rounds
of ammunition were used to kill her. In
1990, an elephant attacked a trainer in Reading, Pa. A spectator was also injured. In
'89, an elephant escaped during a show in
Ft. Meyers, Fla., with 2 children on her back
who sustained injuries.
Educate your family, and friends. On
behalf of the animals, boycott the circus
and all its sponsors. To be outraged by such
cruelty isn't just about animal torture, it's
about the kind of people we want to be, and
our children, and no longer tolerate the
purposeless exploitation of animals for
amusement.
Those fluffy little chicks, cuddly baby
rabbits and downy soft ducklings you purchased on impulse at Easter, will outgrow
their baby cuteness if they are not dead
already from starvation, mishandling or
neglect-please do not abandon them. Get in
touch with a vet, pet store, or someone
knowledgable about that animal. And you
parents out there-why did you purchase one
of these animals if you didn't have the
knowledge to care for it? Just like a dog or
cat, this is a long-term committment. And
also, some do carry disease. When a living
creature is to be brought home, it should
NOT be the child's demand that forces the
wrong decision.

St. Stephen's
Lodge Speaks on
Freemasonry
by Jorge L. Gonzalez-Gomez
Why is Masonry so "secretive"? It
really isn't secretive, although it sometimes has that reputation. Masons certainly
don't make a secret of the fact that they are
members of the fraternity. We wear rings,
lapel pins, and tie clasps with Masonic
emblems like the Square and Compasses,
the best known of Masonic signs which,
logically, recall the fraternity's early symbolic roots in stonemasonry. Masonic buildings are clearly marked, and are listed in
the phone book. Lodge activities are not a
secret - in fact, many are published in
newspapers. But there are some Masonic
secrets, and they fall into two categories.
The first are the ways a man can identify himself as a Mason - grips and passwords. We keep those private for obvious
reasons. The second group is harder to
describe, but they are the ones Masons
usually mean if we talk about "Masonic
Secrets." They are secrets because they
literally can't be talked about, or put into
words.
"Secret Societies" became very popular in America in the late 1800s and early
1900s. There were literally hundreds of
them. Freemasonry got ranked with them.
But if Masonry is a secret society, it's the
worst-kept secret in the world. Remember,
if you are interested in becoming a Mason,
you must ask a Mason. For more information, call 721-0806.
PRAYER TO ST. RITA
SAINT OF THE IMPOSSIBLE
Blessed Rita, Saint of the impossible. I come to you
with confidence in my great need. (Mention your
request)
You were very pleasing to god on earth and are much
more so now in heaven.
I promise to you this favor when granted, to better my
life, to proclaim God's mercy and to make you widely
known and loved.
Publication must be promised when favor is granted.
Thank you. St. Rita. B.T.K.

Alcohol Awareness Month
John S. Wisniewski reminds us that April
is Alcohol Awareness Month and encourages us to become more active in the fight
against alcohol abuse.
"Alcohol is the most widely used drug
in America," noted Assemblyman
Wisniewski. "Unfortunately, it is also the
most widely misused. Over 100,000 Americans suffer alcohol related deaths every
year. But what the statistics don't tell us is
the number of people who suffer by association. Alcoholism does not just affect the
individual alcoholic, it has the potential to
destroy whole families."
The Assemblyman stated that, according to the National Institute on Alcohol
Abuse and Alcoholism, nearly 14 million
Americans are alcoholics or problem drinkers and over 76 million people have been
exposed to alcoholism in the family.
"There are alarming statistics," said
Assemblyman Wisniewski. "It is frightening to know that so many people have
either grown up with or are married to an
alcoholic or have a blood relative who is or
was a problem drinker."
"Not surprisingly, the most tragic victims are the younger generation, often

and many more. A question-and-answer
period will be held at the end of the program.
The program will be held at The East
Brunswick Public Library, 2 Jean Walling

tempted by the way alcoholic beverages are
made to look cool by the advertising media.
According to federal statistics, 64% of high
school seniors reported that they have been
occasionally drunk and 81% stated that
they have used alcohol."
Assemblyman Wisniewski stressed the
need for communities to be more involved
in the intervention and prevention of alcohol abuse.
"Alcoholism is not a problem only for
the person doing the drinking. It is a disease
that crosses the generations and tears at the
whole fabric of our society," stated Assemblyman Wisniewski. "I urge anyone who
has a drinking problem or who knows someone with a drinking problem, to contact the
National Intervention Network at (800) 654HOPE."

Salt Water
Our local beach fishing is getting better. I tried it with a companion on the last
day of March, and we caught one short
striper apiece. I saw some people do well,
catching at least 6, and flounders are mixed
in. Rexi, Who, Chris Adams, who had a 30
inch keeper, and the other beach regulars,
who I didn't mention, are back at their
normal haunts catching fish. Incoming tide
seems best and worms are the bait. I heard
of one big striper caught there, 38 inches 7
26 pounds. Flounder fishing turned out
better than I expected with nice catches at
the mouth of the Shrewsbury and starting
up in the bay. Party boat fishing consists of
ling, and blackfish, which is all right and
mackeral are off Atlantic City-by the time
you read this they should be up here. Look
for bluefish off our SA beach around the
second week of May.
Fresh Water
Opening day trout season found high,
frigid, murky waters in most streams. Despite that, I caught 8, keeping my limit and
releasing the others, although I saw I or 2
people with limits, most did not do too well.
I did see I guy with 2 big ones over 20
inches. Trout Stocking has started so go
fishing! Bass and panfish arae hitting too.
I tried 2 small lakes in North Jersey, and
despite the cold air, caught 5 bass, 13-15
inches. My wife, Karen, caught several big
bluegills and perch. I also lost one niced
pickeral and one other nice fish. 1 large
bass hit my lure, cut my line, and in a few
casts with another lure caught him and got
my lure back. Shad are starting up in the
Delaware, and some Walleyes are hitting in
Lambertville.

Churches Unify on Good Friday
On Good Friday. April 10. 1998, from
12:00 noon until 3:30 p.m., eight pastors and
over 100 congregants (with two choirs) from
their eight different churches gathered at the
First Baptist Church in South Amboy to hold
what turned out to be one of the most powerful
displays of unity among the Christian community in years at a Good Friday remembrance service focusing on the theme of "The
Seven Last Words of Christ from the Cross."
Preaching in half-hour intervals (along with
the singing of hymns and special choral presentations) were Father Joseph Romanoski c f
The Church of the Sacred Heart (Roman
Catholic) in South Amboy, Pastor Victor
Francoofthe Trinity United Methodist Church
in Sayreville, Pastor Thomas Madron of the
Sayreville United Methodist Church, Pastor
Edward Fernandez of River of Life Christian
Center (Independent/Pentecostal) in Sayreville, Pastor Shelly Timber of the Community
Covenant Church in Lawrence Harbor, Pastor Brian Croak of the First Presbyterian
Church in South Amboy, and Pastor Robert
Helfrich of the First Presbyterian Church in
Sayreville. Coordinating this service, speaking from time to time between the individual
pastors and introducing each one, was host
Pastor Donald Knauer of the First Baptist
Church in South Amboy.
enabling the pastors to become true "gatekeepers" of our communities. The evils that
presently exist are here because we, and the
pastors and churches of the past, let them in!
Ignorance, complacency, apathy, separationist
denominutinnlism and selfishness have kept
our senses dulled to what was really going on
around us. It's time that we "tended our
gates" more carefully. It's time that we held
our unity in Christ as our highest priority,
even higher than the "denominationalism" of
earlier decades. Truly, we will win our cities
for Christ! If God is for us, who can be against
us?!
The day of denominational church suppers is past! A clarion call is going forth to all
true Christian believers to band together in an
ongoing concert of prayer to usher in this
marvelous visitation of God in our day as we
experience true revival together. The pastors
named above have been gathering for three
months now on every Tuesday morning to
pray together for our communities, for the
unsaved, for the sick, for all of our churches,
for our local governmental leaders, for our
schools, for families and children, and many,
many others. Very soon prayer groups comprised of the members from each of the indi-
vidual congregations will be joining for corporate prayer as well. Bold, confrontational
witnessing and working together for Jesus is
the new "order of the day" for the churches of
Sayreville and South Amboy. A coordinated
initiative to rid our communities of pornogra-

Our new surgical suites have been modernized to meet your doctor's requests and your
needs. Surgical suites are unique spaces within a hospital. They function as key areas of
patient care and are linked to all other parts of the hospital as patients pass from
admitting, surgery, recovery, their patient rooms and home. These rooms themselves are
highly specialized. We've designed and enlarged our surgical suites and provide state-ofthe-art equipment and highly trained nurses to support the skills of your surgeon.
Whether it's day surgery or surgical care, we are ready to help your doctor give you the

BUDDIES TAVERN
Taking a bold, biblical stance of unity
and solidarity on the major doctrines of Jesus
Christ and the fellowship all true Christians
share in Him, these pastors and churches have
covenanted with each other to stand together
so that as one voice and one spirit they can
resist and fight against the onslaught of the
societal decay and darkness that currently
pervades our communities, proclaiming the
truth that only in the Spirit and power of Jesus
Christ can all people be made free of these
curses. As each church and its pastor takes
seriously their call to unite with all other lifegiving and like-spirited congregations and
pastors in our communities, a powerful union
is being produced by the Holy Spirit thereby

Artist- Jethro Tull Title-A Passion
Play Label-Mobile Fidelity
In 1973, Jethro Tull, known for their
progressive/rock music, (Aqu/Alung, Thick
As A Brick, etc.), pushed the envelope even
further with "A Passion Play". Conceived
as a rock/musical, (the CD. booklet is setup
like a 'play bill'), Tull used their wit, sarcasm, and imagination to give us one of
their most innovative works.
Highlights of the concept disc include
"Critique Oblique", "Flight From Lucifer",
& "Overseer Ovrture". A pleasure to listen
to from start to finish!
Artist-Don Henley Title-The End Of
The Innocence Label-Mobile Fidelity
Produced mainly by Don Henly &
Danny Kortchman, the disc is Henley's best
work sinced the Eagles. Full of heartbreaking, introspective music, (The title track,
"The Last Worthless Evening", "The Heart
of the Matter", "New York Minute", etc.),
along with upbeat tunes, "How Bad Do You
Want It"? and the all-out rocker, "I Will Not
go Quietly", showcases Henley's powerful
songwriting and singing abilities.
Mobile Fidelity has improved the Don
Henley and Jethro Tull C.D.'s without
changing or sacrificing the arrangements,
etc. They stay true to the original, while
improving the quality.

Letter to the Êditor
Dear Editor,
Celebration - just the word itself
ends excitement up and down my spine
and brings a smile to my face. Our City
of South Amboy chooses to celebrate
by holding a parade. Streets are lined
with smiling young boys and girls waving their flags and cheering as the
brightly shined red fire trucks roll by
with the proud squads tossing candy
from the back. The children scatter to
grab all of the pieces, while the adults
fill the sidewalks with lawn chairs and
socialize with their neighbor. The entire town comes together as everyone's
worries are forgotten.
However, in spite of all the above
mentioned, many people feel as though
the good in these parades does not
outweigh the bad. Though the majority
of the towns enjoy the parades, some
feel as though certain factors diminish
the potential fun and entertainment of a
parade.
Those opposed to the parades are
concerned with streets filled with trash,
for they feel we need to keep our city
beautiful. However, citizens who enjoy
the parades also believe in keeping our
streets clean as well as the city workers
themselves, who do a fine job of clean-
ing up after our celebration each year.
The use of alcohol is yet another
complaint. Since our town is in the
Guiness Book of World Records for
"Most Bars in a Square Mile," many
feel as though these parades just promote drinking and the "bad name"
associated with our town. However,
those who are of legal drinking age
will drink sociably, just as they would
even if there was no parade. Drinking
is not the reason that people are outside, laughing and having a good time
- togetherness is. The feelings generated by the parade could not be created by any other means. Many neighboring towns envy the celebrations
we hold, for they could never entail
the closeness we, as a town, possess.
All in all, parades are a source of
entertainment for the young and old.
There does not exist one sound reason why our town should not take a
few days out of the year to celebrate
who we are and what we stand for. I
firmly believe that a parade is a perfect way to celebrate our town's heritage.
Sincerely,
Amy M. Felice

House Transit Bill
Will Benefit South Amboy
Guitar Talk
The City of South Amboy has moved a
stepcloser to becoming an innovative transportation center that would improve efficiency for commuters and relief congestion
on local roads. Rep. Frank Pallone, Jr., DN.J., and south Amboy Mayor John O' Leary
announced recently.
The Committee on Transportation and
Infrastructure of the House of Representatives yesterday approved $16 million for
the South Amboy Regional Intermodal
Transportation Initiative under the
Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA).
The project would provide New
Jersey's only combined rail, bus, ferry,
auto and pedestrian hub. The Congressman
and the Mayor have worked together to
secure federal support for the project.
Pallone and O'Leary said the project
would have a significant positive impact on
the overall transportation flow in the region, and provide an essential link to the
redevelopment of more than 480 acres of
under-utilized industrial waterfront property. The project has the strong support of
Middlesex County and the State of New
Jersey.
"The investment of public funds in this
project will pay huge dividends in terms of
private investment capital economic development along the waterfront area," Pallone
said. "It is a wise investment of public funds
from which the people of Central Jersey
will reap benefits for years to come."
"This project is essential to the economic well-being of the City and the entire
Middlesex County region," O'Leary said.
"It will provide the necessary improvements and additions to bring South Amboy's
already existing transportation hub into the
next millennium as well as provide the
impetus for serious private investment in
the City's northern, central and southern
waterfront areas." The Mayor continued,
"This project's key ingredient is
"intermodality" - it addresses mass transit
issues lacing the city and county; it addresses federal Clean Air Act mandates of
moving vehicular traffic off our roads _ it's
a 'homerun' project."
Take Care of That Guitar
Set-Up & Maintenance
Pallone and O'Leary explained that
south Amboy's plan to create a central
transfer point consists of three main projects.
The first portion of the project involves
providing access from county and stale
highways into a new transprotation center
along South Amboy's waterfront. This
access project is slated to be the main vehicle for routing traffic off of local residential streets and onto a bigger artery specifically designed to connect northern and
southern transportation routes with rail,
bus. ferry and parking facilities.

Second piece of the plan proposes to
improve the mass transportation facilities
along the waterfront. South Amboy is
current the third busiest commuter station
along New Jersey Transit's North Jersey
Coast Line, with a total rail, bus and ferry
ridership projected to exceed some 2,000
passengers per day in the near future. In
order to meet the demands of the increasing
number of commuters in the highly congested central New Jersey area, existing
rail, bus and parking facilities will be expanded and new ferry terminal will be
developed.
The last element of the plan consists of
local roadway access projects to improve
traffic flow through the transportation center as well as to South Amboy's commercial center.
"In addition to developing this vision
fora well-planned, efficient regional transportation hub, South Amboy has developed an innovative plan to secure funding
from sources other than the federal government, including the city itself and NJ Transit." Pallone said. "The plan is the critical
link to the successful completion of over
$520 million in private development investment and $20 million in public development improvements. This program is
clearly consistent with ISTEA's objective
of linking transportation infrastructure with
increases in economic prosperity."
MayorO'Leary, while delighted in the
City's inclusion in the House legislation,
expressed cautious optimism. "This is a
huge step for the City and we have Frank
Pallone to thank," O'Leary said. "It is now
up to the House and Senate Conference
Committee to hammer out the differences
in the two bills and we know that congressman Pallone and Senator iJtoutcrtberg* will
do their best to bring this project home - the
project is that important to the region."

Well, now that you' ve made the choice
between an acoustic or electric guitar, keep
in mind that like yourself, your guitar needs
care and maintenance. It use to be that
when you bought a guitar, the store's guitar
tech would "set it up" for your individual
playing techniques and needs, but those
days have gone the way of your Victrola.
For the most part of ail acoustic and
some electric guitars are fairly well "set up"
at the factory, but every player has his or her
own style of playing, finger and hand size,
and overall technique. Therefore, though
should ge given to asking someone at the
point of purchase to "set up" the guitar
when purchased or after a reasonable breakin period . An important factor to remember is...the guitar tech should know the
players age, style, level of play, and musical interest before setting up the instrument. Believe me, it does make a difference.
Remember, keep it tuned and keep it
clean. Proper pitch will keep the guitar's
neck playable, and a little guitar polish will
keep it lookin' good. Don't worry about
those little knicks and scratches, that gives
your guitar character.
Hey readers, any question- give me a
call at (732) 721-6935. I'll be glad to
help...Be well...
Roberts Gains
President's Award
John Roberts of Carteret, director of
Cardiopulmonary. Diagnostic and Rehabilitation Services (DDR.PS.) at Raritan
Bay Medical Center, was honored as the
recipient of the eleventh annual President's
Award during the medical center's annual
business meeting.
The President's Award recognizes a
manager or director who demonstrates
unique skills and leadership in such areas as
productivity, patient satisfaction and employee motivation.
Commending Mr. Roberts for being a
"team leader with tireless dedication and
commitment to excellence," Keith H.
McLaughlin, president and CEO, said that
Roberts has had "a tremendous impact on
Raritan Bay Medical Center through the
years, placing his department in the forefront of patient care."
Roberts has worked for Raritan Bay
Medical Center since 1965, starting as a
respiratory therapist and gradually rising
through several positions before becoming
director. As director of CD.R.P.S. in both
the Perth Amboy and Old Bridge Divisions, he oversees Respiratory Therapy,
Physical Therapy, Electroencephalogram
(EEG), Electrocardiogram (EKG), Cardiology and the Cardiac Catheterization Lab.
which opened in the Perth Amboy Division
in June 1997.
In his spare time, Roberts also leads a
golf league for Raritan Bay Medical Center
staff. This mentoring program couples
beginner golfers with more experienced
athletes, who in turn compete together as a
team. "This program allows people to learn
about the sport without feeling inferior,"
says Roberts, demonstrating once again
that he is a team leader - both in and out of
the hospital.

Wisniewski on
Smart Cards
John Wisniewski urges you to tune into
"Focus on the 19th District' to be aired on
Thursday, April 23, 1998 at 5:30 p.m. on
Channel 6. The topic of this week's show
will be the Smart Card and the not so smart
proposal to implement the card in New
Jersey.
The Assemblyman's guests will be
DaveGuston, Assistant Professor of Public
Policy in the Bloustein School of Planning
and Public Policy at Rutgers and David
Rocah, a lawyer with the American Civil
Liberties Union.
The smart card is similar to a credit
card but has the ability to store a whole
mass of information, everything from one's
financial records and medical history to
interactions with government agencies and
criminal records. The smart card is intended to make all other cards obsolete.
Discussion will focus on the implications
of the Governor's proposals in terms of
personal privacy and the impact on society
of the use of technology by government
agencies.

New Book Review
By Tom Burkard
"The Yogi Book: I Really Didn't Say
Everything I Said"
The book's title alone should give you
an insight to the hilariously funny compendium that follows.
Yogi Berra, New York Yankees legendary Hall of Famer, and perhaps the
greatest catcher ever to don the mask and
chest protector, has written a new book,
"The Yogi Book: I Really Didn't Say Everything I Said." Over the past year, I've
had the pleasure of getting to know Yogi on
a personal basis, and find him to be a very
happy and witty gentleman. His terrific
sense of humor shines forth throughout this
outstanding collection of Yogi-isms, (humorous quips and comments he has made
throughout his illustrious career).
A few of my favorite Yogi-isms are;
"90% of the game is half mental." Another
funny one is "Pair up in threes." Or how
about "You Can Observe A Lot By Watching."
As for Yogi, his favorite is the one
which is probably best known by most of
the United States, "It ain't over 'till it's
over."
"The Yogi Book" is loaded with rare,
never-before seen photos of Berra, with his
family, friends, and many teammates.
His sons, Larry, Dale, and Tim, and
their wives encouraged him to write this
truly conversational work.
The book is currently in all major book
stores, and is must reading for all dedicated
Yogi fans and sports collectors!

City Mourns Three Great Men
(continued from page 1)
Ken Rogers, his Republican running
mate and fellow Councilman back in the
'70's said, "To sum Jim up in four words,
'he was a fighter."
South Amboy Mayor, John T. O'Leary
shared his memories, "Jim's ideals in what
he believed in were what is best for the
people. He was an honest guy, and always
wanted to do what was right. The way he
lived his life, brought his family up, and ran
his politics, proves that. He was a man for
the people."
Jerry A. "Jeremiah" Connors, 94, died
on April 18"' in Pennsylvania. A very
popular South Amboy native, who was
loved by his brother firefighters, he was a
fixture at Protection Fire House, and remained active until a few years ago, when
his health failed. Surviving are several
nieces and nephews. Mayor O'Leary said
that "he was an individual that lived all of
his life in South Amboy, and will be missed,
especially by all the firemen up at Protection Fire House and his family. He was one
of those special people that will always be
remembered. Someone who touched our
lives and was special in regards to the way
he was so very friendly to each and everyone of us."
Adam Rzepka, 96, died April 20 at the
Veterans Administration Hospital in East
Orange. A South Amboy native, he was the
owner and operator of Air Electric Co.
since 1924. He was Director emeritus of
Pulse Savings in South River. Adam was a
member of the New Jersey Council of Electrical Contractors Assn., past Grand Marshal of South Amboy's Memorial Day Parade, A WW II Navy veteran of which he
was most proud, and always helped the
Vets with local Poppy sales each May. He
was Commander of Catholic War Veterans
Post 578 at Sacred Heart Church, and past
President of the church's Polish American
Citizens Club. He was also a member of
various fraternal organizations, and received
numerous awards for his dedicated service,
and help with charities. Surviving are his
brother Joseph, and a number of nieces and
nephews.
Mayor O'Leary said, "Adam was one
of the finest people that you'd ever want to
meet in your entire life. He's a part of our
history. The life in which he led in regards
to his faith, and the veterans, in which he
loved in this community, and most importantly his church and his family. Adam was
a pillar of the church and a pillar of this
community. He will be greatly missed by
all of us."
They will all be sadly missed by the
community. Jim Inman, who I'll remember mostly from sports, was always straight
and honest with you. whether umpiring or
officiating a basketball game, or just idle
chit chat, Jim would tell it like is. His
opinions were always appreciated.
"Jeremiah" was always a happy-go-lucky
kind of man, always smiling, and usually
heading to the Protection Fire House with
his beautiful Dalamatian dog. He was
dedicated to the firefighting cause. Last but
far from least on anyone's list was Adam,
who truly loved Sacred Heart Church, the
veterans, and his work, which he always
said "keeps me young." He worked right up
until his recent illness, a business that
spanned an incredible 74 years! I'll always
picture that big. Polish smile, as he sold
poppies for the Vets at church and at
Foodtown. God bless, Jim, "Jeremiah",
and Adam, and thanks for the wonderful
memories you left for all of us!

Lightning 4-0
After suffering the worst season in the
team's history during the fall of 1997, the
Sayreville Lightning boys U-10.soccer team
has gotten off to a fast 4-0 start this season.
The Lightning compete in the Monmouth
Ocean Soccer Association (MOS A) where
the divisions are set-up similar to English
Soccer, with divisions of Premier, National
1, 2, 3 and American. The Premier Division is the highest you can go in your age
group, and should contain the six best
teams at that age. Each season the top two
teams in the division move up, and the
bottom two move down. After spending
two seasons in the Premier Division, the
Lightning dropped down one step to National One this spring.
"It appears the best thing that could
have happened to this team was to change
coaches," quipped Gerard Marrone, former
coach of the Lightning. Marrone started
the Lightning as a U-8 All-Star team, and
coached them to a Division Championship
in the fall of 1996. "After we won our first
30 or so games, the kids, the coaches and
the parents got all caught up in Lightning
Fever. I think everyone thought things
cameeasy, without sacrifice and hard work.
We learned the hard way that the better the
competition becomes, the harder you have
to work in practice and prepare for the
games." The Lightning finished in fourth
place (out of 6) for the Spring 1997 season,
and sixth in the fall of 1997. "The funny
thing about our Fall 1997 season was I
thing we did everything right. We practiced hard, harder than we ever have, we
had a professional trainer once a week, and
we were a very good passing team. But the
kids doubted themselves, they lost that
edge they had previously. They still had
hearts of lions, but we just couldn't put it all
together. I really felt every boy on (he team
worked as hard as they could. I was very
proud of the effort and class our kids
showed, because we only won one game al I
season, our last."
Marrone left the team over the winter
due to a move from South Amboy to
Middletown, with former Assistant Coach
Mike Razzoli taking over the team. Mike
is assisted by coaches Tom Cesare and
Tom Monte. "1 know this is going to sound
quite silly, but leaving the Lightning was
one of the hardest things I've had to do in
my life. I really love those kids. I was
fortunate to have my son and twelve others
who were like sons. Those kids will always be very important to me. Don't be
sin prised if a few of them show up in the
local sports pages, there is some outstanding talent on the team. Mike is a different
S
type of coach than me, but obviously his
results have been quite good. I've been to
two of the games and the kids are playing
at Mike made some changes that have
certainly paid off. For example, we never
had a permanent goalie. Eric Geig joined
the team and has been phenomenal, also,
Soner Aygun, Kris Perez, Michael Abreu,
Chris Cesare and Kevin Mastorio are all
original team members and the heart and
soul of the Lightning. Coming on to a new
team is never easy, but the four other new
players are not only fitting in, but a very
integral part of the early success of the
team. Tom Monte and Brian Nowicki are
becoming mainstays on defense, and
Michael Razzoli and Jason Krainski critical members of the offense."
With only six teams in the division, the
Lightning have already beaten four of them,
with only Lacey remaining on the 12th.
Could the Lightning finish 10-0? "It certainly is possible, the way there playing I
would be surprised if they didn't. I'm quite
suer you'll see the Lightning back in the
Premier Division for the fall of 1998 season."

Alzheimer's
Disease: What You
Should Know
by David Hyde Pierce
My grandfather died of Alzheimer's
disease. I was trying to think of a way to
explain to you how awful that was, how
devastating it was for my entire family,
when I had the terrible realization that
Alzheimer's is becoming so widespread
that the chances are that you know someone
struggling with this disease.
Four million Americans now suffer
from Alzheimer's disease. Ifwedonotfind
a way to prevent it soon, Alzheimer's could
well be the epidemic of the 21st century.
By the time the baby boomers reach the age
of greatest risk, more than 14 million people
in the United States will have the disease
according to the Alzheimer's Association.
Alzheimer's disease does not happen
overnight. It destroys the mind, cell by cell,
over as much as 20 years before the first
disabling symptoms appear.
No one gets a "mild case." Everyone
whose brain is attacked by the condition
will, if he or she lives long enough, lose all
memory and judgment and will need fulltime care. Families provide most of that
care, and it generally exhausts them, physically, emotionally and financially.
Medicare currently spends 70 percent
more for beneficiaries who have dementia
than for others. The government cannot
save Medicare unless something is done
about Alzheimer's.
Alzheimer's disease now costs this
country over $ 100 billion a year. If we can
find a way to delay the onset of this disease
even by five years, America can save at
least $50 billion of those costs.
Today, we are seeing exciting discoveries about Alzheimer's coming out of the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) programs. This is thanks to the investment the
government made in research in the early
1990's when the funding for Alzheimer's
research for the NIH more than doubled.
Scientists know what needs to be done
to find a way to prevent Alzheimer's; but
since 1992 NIH funding for Alzheimer's
research has leveled off. Adding $100
million for Alzheimer' research to the NIH
budget this year could make a tremendous
difference for all Americans in the years
ahead.

Alzheimer's Association, call 1-800-2723900.

Keep windows and doors lcosed when the
equipment is running. Pull drapes and
shades over windows to keep out the hot
summer sun.
•Caulk and weatherstrip around the
windows and elsewhere to close air gaps an
dinsulate, especially in the attic.
• Use a thermostat control to
automaticly increase or decrease temperatures during the day and night.
• Check the air filter every 30 days
during periods of heavy use.

Arthritis Treatment
The Chiropractor's Role
The unforgettable fact about arthritis is that once a joint has experienced
structural degeneration, little or nothing can be done to "heal" the damage.
The role of chiropractic is one of providing our patients with a form of service that will take the stress from a joint
making the patient's life more comfortable. This is accomplished throughout
a broad range of treatments, including
manipulative techniques, heat treatments, educating patients in proper posture while walking, sitting, sleeping,
standing and some diet control when
undue weight puts too much pressure
on over-taxed joints. Even though arthritis is a degenerative disease, we can
pay an important role in maintaining
and increasing mobility. In treating
elderly patients, we like to emphasize
the point that stiffness and pain do not
automatically go along with old age.
Much of the pain and lack of mobility
elderly persons experience can be alleviated through gentle, simple adjustments along with other therapeutic techniques. The reasons are simple. As one
ages, the muscles responsible for maintaining the proper spinal alignment tend
to lose their tone. As youthful elasticity
decreases, we are more likely to experience health problems related to the
spines and nerves. When vertebrae
become misaligned, stress is placed on
muscles and nerves.
Our techniques for correcting
misalignments for the elderly are more
gentle than those we would use for
younger adults. Our methods of treatment are painless, both preventive and
corrective in nature. We believe that
feeling young is a matter of good health
rather than physical age. If you're a
senior citizen and have never tried Chiropractic as a means for obtaining or
maintaining an active lifestyle, why not
call so that you can learn how Chiropractic can keep you active and healthy
your entire life.
