Bill also was awarded a City of South Amboy resolution for his service to the community, and received meritorious service awards from every mayor who served during his career. The South Amboy Lions Club named him 'Policeman of The Year" in 1997. Bill was involved in many organizations and activities, and also coached the Sabres football team, as well as a girls Softball league team. Into our lives on a daily basis, each of us have people who we are proud to call our friends and enrich our lives. Bill was one of these people I was fortunate to know for 22 years. His wonderful wife Cathy is another. Bill was one of the finest in every sense of the word. On and off duty, he was always a person you could rely on when needed, and always with a smile. He is survived by his wife Cathy, four daughters. Lori, Donna, Katie, and Kristen; two sisters Anna, and Kathleen: three grandsons, Kyle, William, and Evan.

Although Coach Jim Ka/.anjian' s B irds outhit the Purple & Gold, 6-4, Poulsen was in control throughout the contest. "It was one of my favorite baseball experiences ever, Poulsen said. It was fun in the surroundings, being there, playing against our crosstown rivals, and just being on the same field that some of the all-time greats were. I'll never forget how well our team played. We came up with the plays, as a team together, and experienced the feeling of victory at such a great place!" Coach Rich Klein's contingent scored 4 times in the 5* inning to break a scoreless tie.

According to reports from Jersey Central Power & Light, the exact time of the blast was fixed by automatic relay switch instruments several hundred feet from the docks at 7:17 p.m. A terrifying 600 tons of ammunition aboard a string of barges were docked at the South Amboy Waterfront, when the explosion occurred. Rumors of an atomic bomb attack ran through the community. The rumble of the explosion was so terrific that reports poured in that it had rocked the earth in 3 states.

Wisniewski teamed with Assembly Associate Minority Leader Arline Friscia. South Amboy Mayor Jack O'Leary, Perth Amboy Mayor Joseph Vas, and otherelected officials and several sportfishing enthusiasts to reintroduce legisla- Animal Care By Virginia Stillwagon At the university lab at UCLA researchers take 2 week old kittens away from their mothers, deafen them by mutilating their ears and record their pitiful cries. At the National Institute of Mental Health others are condemned by having their eyelids stitched shut and electrodes sunk into their brains to see how they react to being blind. Millions of cats and other animals are needlessly sacrificed day in and day out in questionable experiments. They are maimed, burned, poisoned, radiated, starved, electroshocked and killed; and the sad fact is animal studies provide little, if any, benefit to human health. Results are misleading because animals are physically, physiologically and metabolically different from humans, and animals differ significantly from species to species. In your mind picture acat. Does it look like you? It doesn't test like you either. Simply put, all species react differently. Doses of morphine that calm humans cause maniacal excitement in cats. The rat killer Morbromide has no effect on any other animals, including man, and a favorite lab animal, the rabbit, can safely eat enough belladonna to kill a human. This year over 70 million animals will be killed in the name of cancer, stroke, heart disease and other ailments. Animal testing is crude, costly, unreliable, and outdated. With today's technology and know-how, animal experimentation should be stopped. A quote from a psychologist referring to brain imaging techniques, "We have in a single afternoon been able to replicate in humans what took 20 years (and millions of tortured dead animals) to do in nonhuman primates." After horrible experiments on baby monkeys at NYU the final outcome was that monkey data differs from human data and that monkey studies are unnecessary for developing human treatment approaches. The sad thing is that these labs will continue to receive millions in grant money from the U.S. Government (our tax money) to perform experiments that have already been done over and over, just so they get the money and continue to torture and kill the animals. Dugou tion that would serve to further stabilize the gamefish population in the Raritan Bay by preventing commercial fishing boats from over-harvesting the bay "s Menhaden stocks. "Last year, I introduced this bill, and it was never considered by the Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee or by the full Assembly. If further measures are not taken to protect Menhaden now, there will be little or no food to support the larger game fish which swim in the Raritan Bay in the future." said Wisniewski. "It is time to renew our call to protect Menhaden from commercial interests so they may continue to feed the larger game fish." While Menhaden are not in danger of becoming extinct, overfishing by commercial skimming boats have caused the tiny feeder fish to be in short supply in Raritan Bay. Due to this decreased supply, larger game fish such as "stripers" are migrating out of the bay to where there are more abundant stocks of feeder fish. Wisniewski's bill calls for the prohibition of commercial fishing for Menhaden with a purse or shirred net in the Raritan bay and Sandy Hook bays within one nautical mile of the shore along the Raritan and Sandy Hook bays. The legislation also restricts the time of taking of Menhaden to between sunrise and six hours afterward. The New Jersey Division of Fish, Game and Wildlife promulgated new regulations in January which prohibit the taking of Menhaden within 0.6 nautical miles of the shores of these bays, but they did not restrict the time of taking of these fish. "If we can stabilize the Menhaden population, then the gamefish population of striped bass, bluefish and weakfish will not be in danger of losing their main source of food," said Wisniewski. "The new Fish, Game and Wildlife regulations go nowhere close to alleviating this problem. We are not telling commercial fishermen to stop fishing Menhaden, we are. however, asking them to help us maintain the survival of the larger fish that eat Menhaden in the Raritan Bay. It is important that this legislation is passed so we may protect the larger game fish and the sport of fishing." "Stabilizing the Menhaden population is an extremely important environmental and economic issue for our district." said Friscia. "We are determined to see that this legislation becomes law." "While the new regulations improve the situation for recreational fishermen, they do not go far enough," said O'Leary. '"As the Mayor of a bay shore city, I am pleased that Assemblyman Wisniewski has chosen to reintroduce this legislation that will be a great help to sport fishermen." "This bill will go hand-in-hand with all of the measures being taken throughout Middlesex County to protect our natural waterfront resources. Perth Amboy, along with surrounding municipalities and the Middlesex County Board of Freeholders, has invested enormous amounts of time and money into creating new marinas, expanding our beaches andcultivating new forms of recreation along our waters. This bill would further enhance our efforts and protect the natural order of our environment," stated Perth Amboy Mayor Joseph Vas. Menhaden are small feeder fish which are captured by commercial fishermen and used as bait. They swim close to the surface and are successfully tracked by air as airplanes are often used to track Menhaden and relay information to commercial fishing boats on the sea. In recent years, excessive amount of Menhaden have been taken and the fish that feed off of it have suffered diminishing populations.

I saw some nice keepers including a nice 31 -inch bass and saw the first bluefish, a 5-pounder taken on April 20 at Cliffwood Beach. Some SA Beach regulars told me a few blues were caught before that date as bunkers came in early in the Bay. Apparently the blues showed before the mackerel which got started after mid-April and are being caught now in good numbers. They are moving fast and probably will be ending when you read this. Flounder action has picked up somewhat but its only spotty overall. Best action is in the bay by the Navy Pier and Buoy 4 at the mouth of the Shrewsbury River. Party boat bottom fishing is only a slight improvement with some bigger black fish and ling. It's better than it was. Expect the first fluke in mid-May. Fresh Water I limited out on the April 8 Opening Day of the Trout season with the first trout a nice fat 16-inch Brook trout with the other 5 plus a small bass and also lost a few tooa nice way to come into the 21SI century. I fished the North Branch at Far Hills. Stocking is now underway, the only problem has been some bad weather and rain. Overall it looks great for May with lots of nice fish stocked weekly. Shad action in the Delaware has picked up somewhat but so far its not as good as previous years. It's got to be better than last year which was one of the worst on record. Kids-in-the-Park Workshop The Middlesex County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the Department of Parks and Recreation have announced that the KIDS-IN-THE-PARK Creative Drama Workshop for children ages 8-1 1 will again be held in Warren Park in July and August.

Expires 6/30/2000 You May Be Entitled to a Tax Return Pallone Web Site Posts the IRS List of Undelivered Tax Refunds for the 6th District of New Jersey Rep. Frank Pallone Jr., D-NJ is urging residents of the Sixth Congressional District who believe they are entitled to a tax return to contact his office. Pallone said a total of 340 current and former Sixth District residents are entitled to tax returns from 1998. but the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has been unable to locate them. (The Sixth District includes most of Middlesex County, as well as the coastal and Bayshore areas of Monmouth County). Pallone has posted the list of taxpayers owed a refund on his web site: www.house.gov/pallone. Those who see their name on this list should call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 to get their refund, or fill out Form 3911 (Taxpayer Statement Regarding Refund) and send it to the IRS. Pallone's web site also provides a link to obtain the form on the IRS web site. Area residents can also contact any of Pallone's area offices to see if their name is on the list. For privacy reasons, the list does not indicate how much money the taxpayers have coming to them. Pallone explained that Postal Service rules require that the IRS refunds be returned to the government if the checks are undeliverable. That could happen if a person does not leave a forwarding address, gets married and does not have the check addressed to the new name, or if the address on the lax return in illegible or incorrect. In cases where the taxpayer is deceased, the executor of his or liL'r estate may be unaware that the refund is unclaimed. Federal law prohibits the IRS from releasing on its own the names of those due unclaimed refunds. "These unclaimed or undeliverable checks are just collecting dust at the IRS." Pallone said. "Since current law prevents the IRS from releasing the names on their own. I'm trying to get the word out. "With tax day having just past, I'm sure a lot of people's minds are on receiving their refunds checks for 1999. but there are many who have refunds waiting for them from previous years," Pallone continued. "Some of the refunds may be for relatively small amounts, and people are just not aware that they are entitled. "This money does not get forfeited back to the government. It just sits there until the day someone claims it. "This is the taxpayer's money, and we need to get it back to them." Pallone said he would also support legislation requiring the IRS to post the names of people who are entitled to undelivered tax refunds on their web site. This would allow taxpayers, no matter where they are. to log on to the IRS web site to find out if they have an unclaimed tax refund. The telephone numbers for Pallone's offices are as follows: New Brunswick. 732-249-8892; Long Branch. 732-5711140; Hazlet, 732-264-9104. NOVENA TO ST. ANTHONY KURZAWA FUNERAL HOME FRANK T.

Bon Jovi the actor has been making quite an impression on his peers in the movie business. Popular actor, Matthew McConaughey, who also stars in "U-571" said, "Yes, before 1 met him, 1 did wonder about the wisdom of casting a rock star in the role. But he came in respecting the craft. He came in humbled by the craft. That's a great attitude because it shows that he is taking acting seriously. He didn't show up with any of that rock-star baggage." Jonathan Mostow, Director of "U-571 was shocked that Bon Jovi was willing to audition for the role, because of his superstar image in music. "I was impressed with the guy. He came in with none of what you would expect. There was no attitude at all. He wasn't a rock star; he was an actor, and he was an actor who delivered. I was ecstatic with his performance. He's going to be big in this business too." Bon Jovi, the rock 'n' roll legend had the packed house at The Tradewinds pumped up during the two-hour set with his typical high-energy performance. The band consisting of Richie Sambora on guitar, Tico Torres on drums. David Bryan on keyboards, and Hugh McDonald on bass was tighter than ever. During the show, Bon Jovi joked with the crowd by asking, "Seen any good movies lately?" The group played many of their hits, and also some cuts from their new album, "Crush," which will be in stores on June 13. Bon Jovi did a rousing rendition of "Shout" as its encore, and at the conclusion, Jon said, "There's no place like home." Bon Jovi begins its worldwide tour in July, and will be playing in Japan, and throughout Europe in August and September. As of yet, no dates have been set for U.S. shows.

New Music By Phil Rainone Berlin-"Live" Timebomb Recordings 80's New Wave rockers Berlin, has finally released a live album. Recorded in '99 their music still sounds fresh and upbeat! Lead singer Terri Nunn still possesses that sassy vocal prowess that was part of the band's distinctive sound. (Check "No More Words" or "The Metro"). The band has gone through a change in the lineup, but they still sound good. "Take My Breath Away"sounds great! Of the 3 new studio songs, "Shayla" (originally done by Blondie). and "X Girl" are best. The time may be right for a new album of originals. Shelter-"When 20 Summers Pass" Victory Records Shelter is a hardcore band with enough wisdom to let those melodic hooks, and Ray Cappo's vocals come shining through. (Check the titlecutor"Don't Walk Away"). Their music is uplifting and full of hope, which sounds vital and real. Given some radio play, Shelter could easily be on the Top 10 list! The Workhorse "Sons of the Pioneers" Roadrunner Records The band's music is diverse, in that they mix a hard rock style with elements of hip. bop, dark 60's rock and soul. What comes out is original and fresh, with a deep rock groove to it. ("Heavy Traffic" and "Motown" are prime examples). See the band at Birch Hill Night Club May 14 with Glass Jaw (check their new release), and Kittie for some aggressive, hardcore rock.

That's right, it's work The Policeman They may knock him, they may knife him, Take away his rights and pay, But he's just the same old hero On the sidewalks night and day; And the loudest to deride him. While the city sleeps in peace, When a little danger threatens, They're the first to cry "Police!" There's a brave old heart that's beating 'Neath that uniform of blue; There's a life that's ever ready To be sacrificed for you; And they never stop to think of those They love but leave behindThey are only plain policemen. And a plain "cop" doesn't mind. They worshipped him in years gone by, In the days when "cops" were kings; They cheered his every effort And inspired greater things; So when you see him passing by, Just remember he's a man, And remember he would die for you As only "coppers" can. Dear Editor, Please renew my subscription to The South Amboy -Sayreville Times for another year. I love reading your newspaper. It is so different and unique. I especially like the trivia and old high school news articles. Thanks, Phyllis Palfy (formerly of Sayreville Class of '58) Dear Editor, I would like to tell you how I found a long lost cousin through The SA Times ? She was mentioned in "Hoffman Hi-Lites." Her e-mail address was included. This prompted me to get my nephew here in Morgan ville to set me up with an address on his computer. I immediately proceeded to reach out to my cousin Ginny Weisman, who much to my surprise is alive and well in Anchorage, Alaska. We have been e-mailing each other for some time now and have caught up on each other's lives. We lost track of each other over 30 years ago. Every month, I pick up an extra copy of The SA Times , and mail it to her. She e-mails me her appreciation all the time along with many compliments about the paper. Thank You. Jerry Smith, Sayreville Dear Editor. More than 4()().(K)0 people in the United States will die this year from a smokingrelated disease. On April 5 - Kick Butts Day - 15 kids from South Amboy Student Athletes Against Smoking (SASAAS) took a stand to stop youth from getting hooked on deadly tobacco products. We know that 90 percent of smokers started using tobacco regularly at or before 18 years of age. Togi ve kids afightingchance, we SASAAS, held an assembly forour5th to 6th graders. We sported uniforms from each of S AHS's varsity sports teams, which included male and female squad members. We took an anti-smoking pledge and asked these young kids to also lake the pledge. We hope NJ legislators will take a stand with us and earmark funds from the settlement between the state and Attorney General and the tobacco companies for tobacco prevention program that have been proven to work. NJ must act now to counteract the powerful advertising and promotional program of the tobacco companies through school and community-based public education programs. Consider these facts: Each day, more than 3000 kids become regular smokers; one third of them will die prematurely from a tobacco-related disease. Kids are not just part of the problem, we're a part of the solution. And the students from South Amboy want tobacco companies to know that on Kick Butts Day and every day throughout the year, we're going to fight them every step of the way. Sincerely, South Amboy Student Athletes Against Smoking Tony G.. Advisor Looking Back On The Days Gone By In South Amboy A Past Memorial Day: 50 Yrs. Ago By Diane Norek Harrison Back in May of 1950, members of the Luke A. Lovely Post No. 62, the American Legion of South Amboy paid tribute to the 100 unidentified civilians who died as a result of the 1918 Morgan Explosion. The members visited the lonely plot at the Ernston Road cemetery and held the same ritual that was performed at all the veterans graves which dated back to 1920. The mass grave was ordered by the government, and contains all that was found of the estimated 100 dead from the explosion. Part of the task of identifying the bodies or what was left of them fell to Michael Nagle, a past Superintendent of the SA Board of Public Works and a Past Commander of the Legion. Identification was impossible. Under government direction, each body fragment was photographed and Mr. Nagle had to witness each burial in order to certify that an interment took place. On Memorial Day, 1950, members of Post No. 62 cleaned up the grave and placed flags in honor of the deceased.

South Amboy Managers Beat New York Teams By Steve It was a proud week for South Amboy baseball fans as two native sons returned to lead their teams past the New York clubs. St. Mary High School graduates Jack McKeon and Tom Kelly both left New York winning 2 of 3 games. Kelly was the first to visit when his Minnesota Twins came to Yankee Stadium Monday April 25. The Twins beat the World Champion Yankees, 7-3 that afternoon, and followed with an impressive 6-1 victory Tuesday night April 26. The Twins were blanked 2-0 the following afternoon. but Kelly and the Twins returned to Minnesota with strong momentum and optimism. Jack McKeon brought his Cincinnati Reds to Shea Stadium Tuesday night April 25. The Reds lost 6-5 in a hard-fought game, but clobbered the Mets, 12-1 Wednesday night April 26. The decisive game of the series went 12 innings the following afternoon, and Cincy outlasted New York, 2-1. McKeon and the Reds headed to Pittsburgh hoping this two game winning Streak could be the start of a strong run at Schmid the National League Central title. McKeon noted the Reds got hot in 1999 after sweeping the Mets at Shea in a 3-game series in late May.

(Photo by Tom Burkard) By DR. JOHN MISIEWICZ Spring Is In the Air: So Put Your Fat on the Run After a winter of sloth and over-eating, you may be facing a tough road to get into shape. And now with spring coming on fast, summer and swimsuit season, you might be feeling a sense of panic as you stand before the mirror. But before you drop that remote and spring into exercise overdrive, a word of advise: EASE INTO IT. If stemming that southward migration of flab is your top priority. Nick DiNubile. M.D. warns against crash dieting - defined as any weight loss program in which you lose more than about a pound a week. Chances are if you're losing more than that, a lot of it is water, which will come back, and muscle, which you don't want to lose at all because muscles help you burn calories. If you've been relatively sedentary this winter, it means you're now out of shape, which means weaker muscles and tendons that are far more vulnerable to sprains and strains than when you were in top shape last fall. Avoid over training injuries by working into fitness. If you would like to start a walking or running program, for example, start off by walking one mile at an easy pace before increasing the speed. As a rule of thumb, never increase the amount of exercise you do by more than 10 percent a week. This rule applies equally to the numberof repetitions or amount of weight you lift. As you rehabi 1 i tate your outdoor activity program, don't forget about your skin. Dig out that bottle of sunscreen and dust off that hat before heading back out in the sun. Also remember to increase your fluid intake in the warmer weather. You should not exercise if you're sick or injured, but keep to a regular schedule of physical activity. Thirty minutes of exercise three times a week is a good goal. II you miss a session, don't try to make it up with an extra hard workout. Just pick up where you left off.
