Lions Club President. Jack Hulsart stated that the Lions may be able to supply the youngster with an instructor. A musicteacher from the school has offered basic lessons as well. Marcin was born blind in his left eye. but after two operations in Poland, sight could not be restored. Two years ago, a vein in his right eye ruptured, and doctors could not save his vision. He moved to the U.S. in 1993, and had surgery on his right eye last year, and could see, until his cornea was clouded by a membrane. Since last November's operation, Marcin can see colors and light. Doctors are hopeful that his condition will improve. *: 2 June 24,1995 South Amboy-Sayreville Times Talk Of the TOWnS Sacred Heart Class of '65 Reunion Sacred Heart Class of 1965 will be holding their 30 year reunion on Nov. 25th.

State Champion 4 June 24, 1995 South Amboy-Sayreville Times Animal Care By Virginia Stillwagon There are so many things I want to write about, but 1 have picked four things I want to cover in my column today: 1. Do not lake your pet in the car during the summer months. On an 80 degree day, the inside of that car will reach 120 degrees in no time - and that's with the windows open. Please, leave the animal home, the house is cooler. 2. July 4th is not a happy time for our pets. Most are terrified of the noise of the firecrackers and fireworks. They are injured and even die trying to escape the noise. Please, keep your pet in the house on that weekend. 3. Do not take them to the beach. The sand is hot and they do wear a fur coat. Pets do suffer heat stroke. 4. Get your pet spayed or neutered. It is cruel to let your pet breed indiscriminately and have litter after litter. Through Friends of Animals you can get it done reasonably; female cat $38, dog $59; male dog $39; cat $25. If you are on public assistance, ex. food stamps, medicaid, general public assis., families with dependent children, lifeline utility credit, tenants assistance, supplemental security income and PA AD, it can be done for $10. Remember there are over 10 million animals euthanised each year because there are not enough homes for them. P.S. Special cat for adoption to special person. Cat has heart condition - owner would be rewarded with love and devotion from this extra nice cat. Call Virginia at 727-6904.

Despite the many problems of modern society, most American adults have a pragmatic, but essentially positive outlook on life, according to a national survey from the Unity School of Christianity, a religious educational organization headquartered near Kansas City Missouri. Scholarship Awarded Deidre Lynn Kolarick, 17, of Parlin, is a 1995 recipient of the Westinghouse Family Scholarship Program. She will receive a $3000.00 one-year scholarship.

"When someone offers help by telling you to 'think positive' they probably mean it," said Jim Rosemergy, executive vice president of Unity School of Christianity. "Most of us acknowledge a connection exists between mind and body." Other results of the survey show that of the 604 adults surveyed, 75 percent agree that in life nothing comes easy. However, 91 percent also believe that "things will work out for the best in my life," and 82 percent agree that "the universe is essentially good." A majority (68 percent) also believe that "all people are essentially good." "It is heartening to see that despite the problems and challenges of modern life, people still demonstrate a good degree of optimism about the world," Rosemergy adds.

May life's blessings be yours! Even while the grads hum their strains of''Free at last... Thank God I'm Free at Last!" I hate to burst their bubble, nothing in this world is free and sadly to say, we have to work and hard at that, for whatever we do get. I remember all too well my last weeks of senior year gazing out my favorite histo y class window, when our teacher brought to my (in)attention, "Miss Bienkowski, as you sit gazing out that window wishing this year behind you. Someday you'll wish to be back inside this window." Of course those words of wisdom had no meaning until years later. The window always looks brighter from the other side, and you can never go back. So enjoy it while it lasts! On the otherhand, with theexcitement of proms, graduations, and parties the visions of $$$ dance in your parents heads. Having gone through 3 girls and now the last my boy I don't know which is worse. Gowns, long, short, on or off the shoulder. Dad with "Do you see what she has on? You're not leaving the house in that!" To tuxs with or without tails, top hat, cane gloves. Not to mention the Fashion Statement of White Sox. Mom with "Where do you think you're going with white sox and a tux?!" Excedrin stock must be through the roof! I'm sure as I sit graduation night (tears rolling down), the memories of scouts, softball, class Jvume'b tfeu mother, trips, and parties, looking at all these kids who have been such a large part of my life, you ponder how quickly all those years went by. It seems like only yesterday we brought these babies home. We also have another holiday this month. Father's Day. This hard working lot with all the goings on feel neglected and unappreciated at this time of year! Taken for granted and unappreciated . . . maybe .. . neglected . . .never.. . Hey Pop! 5 bucks here, drive me there, I need this or that 7 a.m. the morning of. I have a date can I borrow the car? The list goes on and on. Dad is always on the tip of their tongues. If mom says "No" go to dad. Of course never mention the "No" part. Always plead stupidity. "I didn't know Mom said no!" The question always arises what to get this man who has more sox, tee shirts, shorts, and belts than K Mart! A few suggestions come to mind. How about a gift certificate for a fishing trip, car or horse race, his favorite restaurant where I'm sure he'll be treated as the King that he is. Movie tickets (without the kids). Or an I.O.U. a night on the town. Or for the little ones a coupon (homemade) for a grass cutting, garbage take out, delivery of one pair of slippers, newspaper, soda, beer, or iced tea. Or the ever popular Hug and Kiss. Whatever the choice, pampering goes a LONG way! 80 MAIN STREET • SAYREVILLE 238-5077 Remember Your Graduate - 20 Years of Reliability Feel Safe & Secure with the Expert Jeweler * Complete Jewelry Service * We Size Rings and Do Repairs * We Buy Gold * We Repair Watches and Clocks * We can re-mount your diamond while you wait * We have a Large Selection of Jewelry Thank You Vets!

Registration forms are available. Hope to see you there. The Spinal Column by Dr. John Misiewicz, D.C. The Human Element in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease A doctor-patient relationship is a human one. Not only should you have confidence in your doctor, but you should also feel that he is interested in you; concerned with all your problems and desirous to serve you conscientiously. You should feel free to talk to him, to be able to express you anxieties about health matters whether real or anticipated, without reservation, and to have your concerns received with serious interest and exhaustive investigation. Likewise your health practitioner should recognize economic factors. He should value the importance of keeping your expense at a minimum; he should utilize practical procedures which are designed to afford maximum relief in minimal time. Chiropractic's conscientious approach to the prevention and treatment of disease and disability utilizes an approach which does not shuttle patients from doctor to doctor, a procedure that does not confine the individual to high cost hospital care, an approach to treatment that strives to keep the patient ambulatory and on the job. And which avoids prescription drugs and major surgery. It is interesting to note that the same factors which foster confidence on the part of the patient also act to speed his recovery, for health is the result of a combination of external and internal conditions.

South Amboy-Sayreville Times June 24, 1995 13 School Sports by Tom Burkard Bombers Superb in Golf Coach Larry Helwig's Sayreville golf squad turned in yet another stellar season. finishing at a lofty 15-6. Rob Markovitch, w as the Bombers top golfer with an avg. of 41.5 for 9 holes. Karl Sadowski was close behind with a42.5. Paul Thurston followed with a 43.5. Chris Morgan 44, and Paul Sauer44.5. Markovitch and Sadowski were all-county 2nd team selections in the TNT. Reserves, expected to help the "96 edition are John Toth, Jay Fulton, and Jason DiPaula. Hoffman's Cheryl Christensen entered the school record books by tying Cris Zampella's career mark of 91 stolen bases. Way to go, Cheryl! Bombers Set Track Record The Sayreville boys track team set a new school record in the shuttle hurdles at the East Coast Relays. The shuttle squad composed of Adam Devlin, Andre Adams, Patrick Ojong, and Adrian Murray, won first place, and set a school record in 0:59.45, shattering the previous mark of 1:00.2, which was set in 1977, by a team which featured Devlin's uncle Bob, running leg. Saints Ousted by Gloucester Catholic St. Mary's Lady Eagles softball squad, missing 5 starters who were on a class trip, were blasted from Parochial B state tourney play, by old nemesis, Gloucester Catholic, 19-2. Tracy McCurdy blasted a triple for Coach Garnett's girls, who finished 9-10 on the year. Eagles Win 2nd in Tennis The Blue & Gold of August St., won their second tennis match of the season, nipping St. Peter's, 3-2. Singles winners were Ken Diaz, and Mike Dunn. Victorious in doubles were Mark Szuba & Bryan Meszaros. Sayreville Falls in Semis The Lady Bombers of Sayreville were eliminated by Edison, 3-0 in the CJ Group IV semis. Janet Ryan's club managed only 5 hits off the Eagles, with Stephanie Allocco stroking 2 singles. Tracey Thomsen took the tough defeat in her final high school game, but finished with an outstanding 145 mark for '95. The Sayreville contingent finished 15-5. Hoffman Falls in State Play Coach Rich Klein's Lady Guvs had their dreams of bringing home a state CJ Group 1 crown shattered by a talented Middlesex, 13-0. Don't let the score deceive you. Ace pitcher, Jamie Keeter, who pitched every game for the John St. Brigade, and had all 19 wins and 1 defeat, could not suit up for the contest, because she had found out earlier in the day that she had a stress fracture of the left foot, and torn ligaments and bone spurs in her throwing hand - all injuries were sustained in the previous week's win over St. Mary's. Without a backup pitcher in the wings, Klein's courageous crusaders were no match for the psyched-up Middlesex club. Overall, it was a great season, and a 19-2 record is something to be proud of! Devlin Wins Crown Adam Devlin of Sayreville won theCJ Group IV Hurdles championship in 14.3. Teammate Adrian Murray finished 3rd in 14.7. Congratulations boys!

GAME by Tom Burkard Year: 1964 Sport: Baseball Teams: St. Mary's (4-6-1) vs. Sayreville (5-3-1) Recap: Winning pitcher, Denny Dzergoski held the Saints to 2 infield singles, as he notched his 5th straight win without a loss. John Karlowitz and Paul Slovik each ripped a single and a double. Eagles Tom Trenta had his 4 game winning streak snapped. Player of the Game: Sayreville ace pitcher, Denny Dzergoski 6-Year-Old Wins Black Belt SMAA Promotes the Youngest Black Belt in the Country . . . At first glance, Cody Smith, (at three feet. S inches tall and 38 pounds!) appears to be just another six year old that has yet to hit average height. But though closer examina- tion, Cody Smith has something that the tallest child in the first grade can only dream about - a Black Belt in Karate. On March 23, Cody, along with several other members of the Sayreville Martial Arts Academy, tested for his 1st Degree Black Belt Recommended. The following week, after deliberations among the Certified Instructors at SMAA, he was awarded his Black Belt with honors, and is now among the youngest Black Belts in the country, at six years and two months. Cody Smith joined the Sayreville Martial Arts Academy at age four with a green belt as a transfer from another Karate school. During that time, according to Chief Instructor Master Jack Skutnik, "Cody has come a long way since he joined. He proved to all of us that he has what it takes to hold such a rank, despite his young age and size." Master Skutnik went on to say that he tries to stress to his students that a Black Belt is only the beginning, and is no longer the ultimate goal to strive for, but merely a stepping stone to start learning advanced techniques. The Chief Assistant Instructor at SMAA, Joe Brignoli, agreed. "These are unusual circumstances. Normally, it would have taken much longer and Cody would have started at an older age, but he showed us the dedication and the desire to learn, so we made an exception in his case." Cody was influenced to join mainly by his cousins and uncle, who also have taken Karate and Kung Fu classes at SMAA for several years. In addition to attending Martial Arts classes three times per week, Cody plays baseball and roller hockey in his spare time. Despite all this, he still maintains an outstanding 1 st grade reports card, consist- ing ot'O's and G's at Eisenhower Elementary School. Cody is now working hard towards his First Degree Black Belt Decided, which is halfway between 1st and 2nd Degree. He wants to eventually compete in the State Championship Tournament Circuit, and win the coveted title of N.J. State Champion in his age group, "in 1994. Sayreville Martial Arts won the title in 7 out of S divisions. It would be an honor for Cody to win the smallest division for 1995," said Master Skutnik. Out of the 68 Black Belts that SMAA currently trains, Cody is the smallest. This is sometimes an opportunity for larger kids and bullies to pick on him, but according to Cody, "I always walk away, just like my instructors tell me to." We expect great things from young Cody Smith in the future, so keep an eye out for him! Gary Read, a seventh grade student at Sacred Heart School in South Amboy, has accomplished a great feat this year. He has scored over 1,000 points in his basketball career at Sacred Heart. Gary is a member of the Varsity Basketball team and has been playing since he was in the fourth grade. His parents are Gary and Chris Read.

Fluke fishing is very good in the entire bay, but a good number of the Fluke are shorts. Ocean Bluefishing is very good in the Mud Hole and 17 Fathoms with 6-12 pound fish. A 20 pound striper was recently caught here on a bunker back. I also saw a Mako Shark caught in the Mud Hole, and weighed in at 180 pounds at Atlantic Highlands. Ling, Seabass, and large Blackfish round out a very good bottom fishing picture. Some Kingfish are reported in the Long Branch surf, and all coastal rivers and bays have Blowfish.

QUALITY PAINTING & UP Wash & Set $looo Fresh Water I tried Trout and Shad in the Pequest area, and caught 1 average Trout and I small Shad, which fought hard, the week before Memorial Day. I also wound up hooking myself in the face with a plug, up in Sussex County making a trip to the Newton Hospital Emergency room necessary, as they removed the hook. I only caught 1 Trout on Memorial Day Weekend, and missed a few more at the Paulinskill near Marksboro. Locally Farrington Lake is producing Pike and some Bass. Trout stocking is over, but there are some left. Shad fishing is now confined to the upper Delaware above Walpack Bend in their spawning areas - you can still catch them here.

South Amboy-Sayreville Times Coach ofthe Year - Interview: Melanie Newcomb by Tom Burkard Melanie Newcomb was born and raised in South Amboy, attended St. Mary's schools all the way through, and graduated in 1970. I had the good fortune of growing up with her in the Mechanicsville section of South Amboy, and I can tell you that she was always a highly-competitive, and extremely talented athlete. Melanie has been teaching for 14 years at Spotswood, and has coached various athletic teams on different levels from junior high to varsity, where she has been the Head Coach of Boys Tennis for the past 4 years. 1995 has been the type of season for her that most coaches can only dream of. Not only did she announce that she would be retiring from coaching after this season, but her team turned in one of the finest records in the county, 17-2, and she was selected by both The Home News and News Tribune as Coach of the Year, forheroutstanding coaching ability. The honors she has garnered are a fitting swan song, so to speak, for such a terrific person! This local girl really made good, and I couldn't be more proud of her! The Interview TB: What do the Coach of the Year honors mean to you? MN: It's overwhelming! It's amazing for a Blue Division Coach to get this type of recognition, especially from 2 different publications. I'm very proud of it. TB: When and where did you develop your interest in sports? MN: Growing up in Mechanicsville in a neighborhood with boys. I originally was a steady catcher, but Joe Jaskowiak forced the other guys into accepting me as an athlete, by telling them to let me bat, and play the field. TB: How did girls basketball differ back in the '60's, when you starred for St. Mary's, compared to today? MN: There were 6 girls on the court, and only 2 people got to play both offense and defense. I was strictly a forward - 1 just shot. I was the shooter. (As a frosh she was billed as a phenom, and lived up to it by averaging 14 points per game, by far tops on the Eaglettes). TB: Where did you attend college? Did you play sports? MN: I went to Sacred Heart in North Carolina for my first 2 years, but they had no women's sports, so I transferred to Kean College. As a junior, I was the right fielder, and led the team with a .441 avg. I didn't play as a senior, because of student teaching. TB: How do you think you would fare against today's female athletes? MN: I'd be all right. If I was growing up now, and Reggie Carney was coaching, I would love to go to Hoffman and play for him. TB: What other teams have you coached? MN: I started as an assistant track coach, coached boys junior high basketball for 2 years, junior high cheerleaders for 4 years, was Spotswood girls varsity softball coach for 1 season, and we finished 14-7, and made it to the states. I've also started a girls basketball program, and was a high school basketball referee for 2 years. TB: What will you miss about coaching? MN: The closeness with the kids. It's extra special. You are their teacher, coach, counselor, and mother. TB: Do you have any hobbies? MN: Tennis. In the summer, I play everyday for at least 2 hours. TB: What is in your future? MN: I'd like to take a year off. and privately coach my niece, and help her achieve her goal of making the St. Rose varsity tennis team. I'd also like to work with my nephew Drew, who wants to learn tennis. I want to be with my family. TB: Who were your favorite athletes as a kid, and now? MN: Duke Snider. Today, Don Mattingly, Rickey Henderson, and Todd Martin (tennis). TB: How are kids attitudes different today towards sports than when you played? MN: They're not much different. If they are interested and committed, then they will be successful. My kids at Spotswood were truly committed, and gave 100%, even though they had other things going on. They really believed in themselves. We had fun. TB: What is your coaching philosophy? MN: Commit yourself, put in time, and learn as much as you possibly can. Have fun, believe in yourself, and do it! TB: What is your fondest memory of St. Mary's High? MN: Playing basketball at St. Mary's, and guys betting on how many points I'd get in a game. TB: What was your greatest moment in sports. MN: Winning 2 Division championships in 4 years in tennis. It's miraculous! I'm really proud of this. TB: You are 5 feet tall, about the same height as N.J.'s all time leading scorer, Kristen Somogyi. If you were in your prime, and played her head to head, how would you do? MN: Bring her on! She's not much taller or quicker. I would have beaten her in my prime. Prayer to the Holy Spirit Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that 1 can achieve my goal. You who give me the divine gift to forgive and to forget all evil against me and that in all instances of my life are with me. I want this short prayer to thank you for all things and to confirm once again that 1 neve want to be separated from you even in spite of all material illusions. I wish to be with you in eternal joy and thank you for the mercy toward me and mine. The person must say this prayer for 3 consecutive days, after 3 days the favor requested will be granted even if it seems difficult. The prayer must be published immediately afterthe favor is granted without mention of the favor, only your initials appear at bottom.
