He takes his 56-inch high Bone Shaker for a cruise throughout the area. Back in the 1800's, it was called an Ordinary, because everyone had one. Now hardly anyone does, and it really catches attention. "People always blow horns and wave, and ask all kinds of questions. It's a regular conversation piece," said the 36-yearold Spencer.

To those who did not realize this, please read on: Its that time of year again - goblins, ghosts, witches, trick or treat. Why is it that whenever special days and holidays come along, it is not a happy time for our animal friends? One of these times is the annual celebration of Halloween when animals are frequently the targets of the sometimes malicious mischief that surrounds this occasion. There are some people who have a weird sense of fun, such as letting a dog out of a fencedin yard and letting it run away. They also tease and injure by poking sticks through the fence, pell them with eggs and rocks, pour dye over them and even toss them poisoned food. It is a good idea to keep your pets in, not only on Halloween, but also Mischief Night as well. Some dogs and cats are frightened by masked and costumed humans, so as you open and close your door handing out treats, make sure your pet is in a safe part of the house where it cannot slip out. Do not leave bowls of goodies unattended. Chocolate contains a substance that can be lethal to canines when consumed in quantity. Pennies are equally dangerous. Keep black, orange and other colored decorations out of a pet's or child's reach. Some are extremely toxic when chewed, and pets that ingest balloons can perish from blocked digestive tracts. On this occasion, your pet is depending on you for protection. There will be a lot of strangers on your street on Halloween, don't let your pet be a victim. Americans Exercise Option to Reduce Cholesterol With today's focus on preventive medicine, Americans are keeping pace in the race for a healthier lifestyle by following a regular exercise program to control their cholesterol. More than just a great way to stay in shape and improve cardiovascular fitness, exercise has been found to be an effective weapon against the health risks presented by high levels of cholesterol, when coupled with proper diet. "Exercise promotes a healthy lifestyle," explains Myra Grzebyk, a dietician at South Amboy Memorial Hospital. Cholesterol, that yellow, waxy substance whish is found in fatty and fried foods, can be your enemy when it builds to a dangerous accumulation. While you may feel fine when your cholesterol level is high you are at an increased risk for heart attack, heart disease, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases. "It can be very dangerous," explains Grzebyk, "when individuals walk around with very high cholesterol levels and do not seek help to lower or control it." Running form the threats of cholesterol is easy with a regular exerise program. Aerobic workouts can help your high-density lipoprotein (HDL0 level while also helping you to lose weight, putting you in the direction of better health. With a suggested program of four halfhour workouts a week, you can enjoy so many fun activities that get your heart going and ensure your well-being.

Morgan Explosion October 4,1918 by Tom Burkard Shortly after 7:30 p.m. on Friday. October 4, 1918, the long feared and expected "blow-up" of the T.A. Gillespie Shell Loading Plant in Morgan occurred. According to local reports, "the earth seemed to quiver, and the sky was filled with flying particles of iron, steel, and other materials, as Unit 6-1-1- of the Morgan Plant exploded." The unit was loading 155 mm shells for use by American Forces "over there" (WWI). The explosion supposedly started in the booster room of this unit. 2,000 men were working the night shift at the plant. Conflicting reports as to the cause ranged from it being an accident, to a fire, and another theory that it was German trickery. Shells and boosters exploded for over an hour and a half after the initial blast. The fire seemed to be under control by 11:00 p.m. Local people left town by every means available, and by Friday night, 800 people had walked to Sewaren. According to reports from a Social Worker, three women gave birth on their way to Sewaren. Victoria Lytkowski Burkard, now 86, of South Amboy was just two months shy of her 12th birthday at the time of the explosion. Her memories are still vivid of what happened. "Our family lived in Malik's house in Melrose, and someone came and told us to get out in a hurry. We had to leave so quickly, that 1 didn't have time to put my shoes on, and had to walk across the wooden bridge to Perth Amboy barefoot," she recalled. Shortly after the first blast. South Amboy Mayor Ken" requested the State Militia to protect property and prevent looters. By Saturday afternoon, the town was deserted of all civilian population. At 2 a.m. Saturday morning, the local Militia Company received word to mobilize and protect the area. They were assigned by a detachment of Sailors. Coast Guard, U.S. Guards, firemen and police. On Saturday, Major Dawley arrived, and other M i I itia Companies commenced to come in. Red Cross Canteens were set up at St. Mary's School on Saturday, and also at the Methodist Episcopal Church. The WarCommunity Recreation Committee and Boy Scouts of America staffed the church center, while two or three local men organized and ran the one at the school. South Amboy suffered nearly $ 1 million dollars worth of damage, and the loss at the plant was around $14 million. Representative Thomas J. Scully of the 3rd Congress District, and a South Amboy resident, introduced a Bill in Congress, calling for an investigation of the Explosion. An estimated 250-300 people lost their lives during the Morgan Explosion. #% PIMRecyclir . • 908 757-2000 Shown above, from right to left, South Amboy Mayor John T. O'Leary with P.I.M.

South Amboy-Sayreville Times October 16, 1993 7 Howard Griffiths and Dan Pasquinucci, Jr. Sayreville Democrats for Borough Council Howard Griffiths Howard is completing his first term on the Borough Council. A father of four children, Howard is deeply concerned about making our neighborhoods safe for future generations. Howard is married to the former Linda Savino. Howard and his family are parishioners at St. Bemadette's. Howard is actively involved in many charitable organizations, including the Muscular Dystrophy Association, and long time supporter of local youth sports leagues. Howard is employed by Englehard corporation and is a member of the United Auto Workers. Through his employment Howard has worked to improve the community through the Community Action Program sponsored by the United Auto Workers. Dan Pasquinucci, Jr. Dan is seeking his first term on the Borough Council. Dan is also a Parishioner at St. Bemadette's, and has served on the church's Board of Trustees. Dan is a 3rd degree member of the Knights of Columbus. In addition to his devotion to his parish, Dan also performs services for many charities, including New Jersey's Dollars Against Diabetes. He is a past labor Chairman for Middlesex County Retarded Citizens. Dan is the International Representative to the Sheet Metal Workers International Union and is a former trustee of a multi-million dollar pension plan. Dan has training in the field of hazardous materials handling, and is a member of the National Training Fund Hazardous Materials Committee. Dan is married to the former Jeanee Gibson, and has a son, Daniel. Howard and Dan believe that creating a better business environment in Sayreville is essential to revitalizing the community. Howard and Dan believe that new jobs can be created by making Sayreville more attractive to business. They also strongly oppose the present policy of giving local jobs to out of town, and sometimes out of state workers. They feel that a local job bank should be created to allow the Borough, and local industries to hire skilled, qualified workers from within the community, and put local people back to work. They feel that hiring local workers not only helps the families of the community, but also helps local businesses by keeping the revenue from going out of town. Howard and Dan feel that local government has lost touch with the citizens. They feel that the republicans have lied to the residents when the republicans claim they are making government more like a business. Howard and Dan point out that the republicans have hired countless high priced professionals while they are laying off hard working blue collar workers. They cite the fact that Sayreville pays the highest legal fees of any town in Middlesex County, while the road department is practically non-existent. Howard and Dan pledge that they will make Sayreville more responsive to the needs of the residents, while they fight to keep the tax rate stable, and cut the spiraling costs of high priced professionals.

For more information on "Medication Compliance" or free membership in the Steady Striders daily walking club call (908) 721-1000, extension 2184. The hottest baseball card in years has found its way to the local card store and it is sizzling. Topps Finest, a glossy, 3-D type, chrome foil card, appears to be taking the hobby by storm with its great artwork and player selection, ranging from veterans like Mattingly to Robin Ventura. Topps made only 4,000 cases and dealers are selling packs at over ten dollars apiece. While they do appear to be selling, not everyone is happy as early reports are finding a lot of damaged cards. Will they stay hot or fizzle out? The high prices dealers are asking has driven some away and attracted others. I will not sell any as I feel it is just a fad and will eventually die out as collectors move into the next hot thing to come along.

Hope you're planning that big 25th Reunion. Time is running out. The Purple & Gold's graduating Class of 1968 was a dynamic group of individuals. As a matter of fact, the yearbook theme was "The Individual." It was dedicated to the late and well-respected John Zdanewicz, who was the Chemistry teacher, Athletic Director, and Varsity Baseball Coach for many years. James Croddick was the Principal, and Eugene Dobrzynski was the Superintendent of Schools. Other popular teachers included: Michael Olszak, Roslyn Gerken, Gloria Miskiewicz, George Mahoney, Frances Cialone, Karen Bishop, Lynn Search, Miriam Hollfelder, Angela Charmello, and School Nurse Joanne Donnelly. Bemadette Maliszewski was the Senior Class President and Catherine McKeon Secretary. Frances Pirk was President of the Student Council... Editor-in-Chief of the Yearbook was Judith Reick . . . Patricia Vari served as Editor-in-Chief of the Hi-Lites school newspaper... Several '68 grads memorable to me are: Margaret Batissa, Sandra Boudinot, LindaClayton, Robert Kubinak (Law Enforcement Officer), Clifford Connors (Steel Co.), Ralph Mioduszewski, Mary Quirk, Steven Shackleton (Law Enforcement), Joseph Tanski, Sharron Hutson (Respiration Therapist in Alaska), Shirley Zakrzewski, Joseph Tanchyk, Robert Rittenhouse (Law Enforcement), Burton Savage, Linda Lounsbury . . . Do you remember any of these nicknames'? Penny, Bunny, Peggie, Jocko, Lily, Fanner, Elsie, Kuby, Honce, Flip, Woodsie. Frankie, Rit, Duchess, Pepino... Were you at any of the Can Can Dances? Did you participate in Viet Nam week? In sports, who could forget the great basketball and baseball teams, and the big men on campus, Curt Wood, Hoffman's 1st 1,000 point scorer, and also all county 1 st team, Bob Keegan, superb all around athlete, and big Greg Havlusch, a basketball player supreme. Wood is a successful auto dealer, while Keegan is making his mark in Real Estate. Other senior standout athletes were: Ernie Read (a teacher & varsity baseball coach at Perth Amboy Tech). Leo Dohan. Tom Lange, Al Jakimowicz, Donna Carter (the only senior on girls varsity hoops), Tony Saccone, Mark Felice, Ron Dennen, and Russell Thomsen, probably the best Bowler in the school's history ... Remember that cold winter night that seemed even colder after St. Mary's upset the Guvs, 80-65 in the Msgr. Sullivan Holiday Basketball Tourney? The John St. guys were (5-0) entering the game, but fell to an inspired Eagles squad despite 20 points from Wood, and 18 from Keegan. While the '68 grads were busy with practice for diploma day, the top three songs were Mrs. Robinson - Simon & Garfunkel, The Good, The Bad and The Ugly - Hugh Montenegro, and Beautiful Morning - Rascals. For the graduating class of 52 students. Pomp 'N Circumstance must have been one memorable affair. The Class of '68 was an exceptional group of individuals. "A time it was, and what a time . . . A time of happiness; a time of innocence." Hospital Puts Aroundthe-clock Service at Hand A sudden injury is cause enough for a host of anxieties. Finding the appropriate care, exactly when you neeed it, shouldn't be. Continuing its commitment to the everchanging healthcare needs of its community, SAMH offers around-the-clock emergency surgical services for hand injuries. "Our comprehensive approach to hand surgery involves a team of plastic and orthopedic surgeons to take care of any type of hand injury, whether it involves bone, soft tissue or both," explains Said Samra, M.D., F.A.C.S., a member of this board-certified 24-hour srugical team. Dr. Samra explains that this commitment to acute care is equaled by the Hospital's dedication to state-of-the-art technology. "Our Operating Room is equipped with all that is needed to service hand injuries, such as delicate microsurgical equipment." According to Ann Guarino, Assistant Directorof Surgical Services, the availability of aroundthe-clock service for hand injuries will address a wide range of medical emergencies. "The Hospital has a surgeon available 24-hours to treat many types of hand injuries, including industrial-related and motor vehicle accident injuris as well as home and sports injuries." Appropriate attention is provided at the hospital for each step of recovery, with follow-up care available within the Rehabilitation Services Department. Larry's Service Center PUB 135 So.

(NAPS) — If y o u ' v e wondered why some people who got straight A's in school, and have high I.Qs don't do as well as' people with unexceptional I.Qs, Seymour Epstein, personality expert and author of You're Smarter Than You Think (Simon & Schuster, $22.OO) may have the answer. Epstein says some people just know how to make constructive use of their experiential mind: a mind that bypasses rational processes and operates on automatic pilot on the basis of past experience. In his provocative book, Epstein unveils a groundbreaking new theory of i n t e l l i g e n c e : Cognitive Experiential Self Theory (CEST). He also offers a'sophisticated new test that helps you measure how well you manage your emotions and challenging situations, as well as your habitual responses to setbacks and failures. Critics say the book is not only an important work of personality theory, but an indispensable self-help tool on developing practical intelligence for a more successful life.

Hospital Offers New Passages forRecovery For those beginning their journey on the sometimes trying road to recovery, there is a new avenue. The Center for Behavioral Medicine at South Amboy Memorial Hospital proudly announces the opening of its newest outreach program "Passages," distinguished as one of the few facilities in Middlesex County to provide intensive outpatient counseling for addictive behaviors. Offering individualized treatment tailored to meet the client's specific needs, the Parlinbased program provides a level of care that has been difficult to access for individuals residing in Central New Jersey. Until now, those needing help with addressing addictive behaviors often faced the life-restricting situations that are associated with attending an inpatient facility. Removed from their family, friends, job and daily routine, these individuals became isolated from the positive aspects of their lives at a time when they needed to cope with changing their negative support systems. Still others seeking recovery were denied treatment due to their lack of coverage for the extreme costs incurred by institutionalized care. "Passages" offers an intensive recovery program for its clients on an outpatient basis. With affordable, comprehensive treatment services, the program allows the individual to complete each phase of their recovery within their own community and without having to forfeit the positive support which comes from family, friends, education and employment. Unlike traditional recovery programs, "Passages" does not structure its services based solely on the assumption that a client will arrive at The voting machine was first used in 1892. recovery within a pre-detcrmined schedule. Rather, individuals receive personalized counseling to successfully address their needs as they conquer each phase of their recovery. "Passages" offers individual assessment for its addicted clients. Encompassing addiction education early sobriety support and family of origin work, the program provides group therapy, relapse prevention, group support for family members and introduction to sober support networks. The Center for Behavioral Medicine at South Amboy Memorial Hospital offers comprehensive treatment for recovery. The facility couples inpatient detoxification and rehabilitation with nine outreach counseling facilities throughout Central New Jersey to successfully meet the needs of those struggling with drug, alcohol and/ or mental health difficulties. For more information on "Passages" or the services available from the Center for Behavioral Medicine at South Amboy Memorial Hospital, call (908) 721-1000, extension 2184. All inquiries about counseling and recovery services are kept in the strictest of confidence.

The Success Column by Andrew Wood How to Get a Job Interview Part Two An interesting way to stand out from the job seeking crowd is to include an audio tape along with your written resume. Place a bold PLAY ME label on the tape. Just like Alice in Adventures in Wonderland when she came across a bottle that was labeled DRINK ME, most people who receive this type of approach simply can't resist. In your cover letter, suggest the tape be placed in the interviewer's car so it can be played on their way home from work that evening. Tell them listening to the tape takes only a few short minutes, and you think it will save them a lot of time and hassle with the interviewing process if they listen. Start the tape by thanking the listener for giving you some of his or her valuable time. Then quickly and concisely tell the listener exactly how you will help the company if they choose you over another candidate. You may point out at this stage that you go to great lengths to get a job done well. The fact you sent the tape will reinforce this fact in the listener's mind. If you are involved in a more conservative environment where you feel this might be a little risky, try making a brochure about yourself. Take an eight and a half by eleven inch piece of paper and fold it in thirds. This will give you six panels on which to write and will fit nicely in a regular envelope. Put your name, address, and phone number on the outside panel. You may also put your photograph if you think your looks are an asset. On the next panel, list your basic resume in brief. Place trie heading, Resume Highlights, at the top. On the back panel, complete a number of one- or two-line sentences that describe why the company should hire you. Head this panel The Benefits of Hiring Sally Smith. Typical sentences might be: • Sally Smith has over three years selling experience in this industry, so you would waste very little time on training. • Sally Smith is self-motivated, so you know she will always give you her best. On the remaining inside panels, list one or two key headings, such as Experience, Product Knowledge and Enthusiasm. Underneath each heading, write a few sentences on how the qualities you possess will help the company. By presenting your resume in this matter, you are showing you have some marketing skills, creative skills, and problem-solving skills. This will almost always work in your favor when it comes time to get an interview. There is really no end to the creative ways you can increase the chances of getting a better job and better pay by constantly marketing yourself. In Los Angeles, one young actress who couldn't seem to get a break spent every dime she had renting a giant billboard on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. Within days, the giant poster with its picture of her and its plea were answered in the form of a movie role. It was a small role, but it was a start. Let your creativity roll and you won't be looking for a job much longer. Andrew Wood is a professional speaker, consultant and author who lives in Colo de Caza, California.

Since then, "Eagle Spirit" has taken over. School spirit has helped bring the school community together. A record number of freshmen (114) began their daily scurry to and from classes to avoid members of the class of '94 living it up in the newly decorated Senior Lounge, complete with couches, a coffee table, and a radio. This year's juniors enjoyed their upperclass status, while this year's sophomores have the dubious honor of spending a year lost in the shuffle. The school year officially began with the First Friday Mass, where the faithful were serenaded by St. Mary's Chorus. A few days later, Students Against Substance Abuse hosted an information night to familiarize freshmen with extra-curricular clubs and sports. Also popular with the freshmen was the "Back to School Dance" held September 10. A week later. Campus Ministry, the student religious group, hosted a barbecue, attended by many of the St. Mary's crowd, faculty and students alike. Later that month, Eagle Spirit exploded at the Fall Pep Rally, hosted by the Pep Club. Already the Eagles' sports teams are off to a sparkling season, and hopefully their winning ways will continue. October began with the First Friday Mass, where the chorus sang praises to the Lord once again. A highlight of the Mass was the recessional song, "Hail Holy Queen," done with a twist to the movie "Sister Act." Another special mass was held on October 8, when the junior class celebrated Ring Day. The rings and their recipients were blessed as a part of the celebration of this high school milestone. With God's blessings, the St. Mary's Community will have a safe and exciting school year. Soon our thoughts will turn to the noticeable approach of fall with its radiantly colored leaves. Hopefully, it will be a signal for all of us to turn over a new leaf as well. Happy Halloween! Things are looking a little different at St. Stan's this year. We have two new teachers, Miss Ezren and Mrs. Byrnes and two other teachers are expecting "new additions." This year our school is pre-K through fourth grade. The fourth grade has many responsibilities helping out the school. A school field trip is scheduled for October 6th to Von Thun's Country Farm Market. We will all pick the perfect pumpkins for some decorating fun. We are trying to arrange a trip to Radio City for the Christmas Show. Some after school activities are the school newspaper and a theatre group that performs plays for the school. We hope to have a great year and a higher enrollment for the future years. versity on Staten Island in August. Mr. Eyerman, principal of St. Mary School, as well as teachers, Mrs. Connors, Mrs. Iozzi, and Mrs. Flickinger attended this meeting in order to learn more about creating a middle school as part of a Catholic elementary school. One new idea acquired at the symposium was a concept of having a theme for the year. This year's theme at St. Mary's will be "People who have influenced history." St. Mary students will be asked to choose from a list of 100 of the most influential people in the history of the world. They will then research and defend their selections. Afterwards they will present their report to their classes. This will be one very exciting year in the Middle School at St. Mary's!

Grade 8 is participating in a program called United States World Wise School sponsored by the Peace Corp. We have received the name and address of a Peace Corp volunteer and will be corresponding with him regularly. He is stationed at the Ukraine - so we hope to learn a lot about the customs, culture and politics of these people. Our youngest president was Teddy Roosevelt. The new school year at South Amboy Middle School has begun, and so once again we have gone back to listening to lessons and doing assignments. This year we have the fifth graders back in the middle school which brings our total enrollment to 277. The South Amboy Middle School, better known to most of us as S.A.M.S., held its annual Open House on Monday, September 20th. It was from 7:00-8:00. and during that time, teachers presented the goals of the curriculum to the parents. Starting on Monday, the 27th. Ms. Geraci started the peer tutoring program which consists of students who volunteer their time after school to tutor students who need it. There's also a homework club where students can stay on Wednesdays to do their homework and get added help. Mr. and Mrs. Walter began their music program at the middle school. Mr. Walter does instrumental music lessons, and Mrs. Walter leads the chorus. Congratulations to all who tried out for the chorus because everyone made it!
