Remembered
The Borough of Sayreville's school
By Beverly Kovacs
Bill Housman
55. of South Amboy
died on May 2 after a
long illness. He was
a South Amboy Policeman for 23 years,
and attained the rank
of sergeant prior to
his retirement in
1996.
Housman received many awards and honors for his
outstanding work in law enforcement including the prestigious Middlesex County
Blue Badge Award for Valor, which he
won in 1978 and 1989. 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.
Bill Housman will always be remembered for the fine work he did in South
Amboy, and also for the kindness and caring he showed to anyone in need. •

Guvs Fly Over Eagles At Cooperstown
By Tom Burkard
South Amboy and St. Mary's High
School baseball players enjoyed an overnight trip to Cooperstown, N.Y., on Easter
Sunday, and played each other on Monday
in a game, which for many would be the
most memorable of their lives. The
Cooperstown version of the city series between the arch-rivals took place two blocks
from the National Baseball Hall of Fame at
Doubleday Field.
South Amboy ace, Dan Poulsen, wove
his mastery over the Eagles, by firing an 8strikeouts. 6-hitter. for the 5-0 victory.
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. Three runs scored, when Dan
Waldman's fly ball was misplayed for an
Sabo Captures 3rd County Title
By Tom Burkard
Although St. Mary has not fielded a
tennis team over the last two years, they just
happen to have the greatest player in the
county, if not the entire state.
Matt Sabo became the first boy to win 3
consecutive Greater Middlesex County Tour-
nament championships, by downing Eric
Noll of So. Brunswick, 6-2,6-3. Sabo made
the first singles finals for each of his four
years in school. His career record is an outstanding 49-3. Sabo appears to have a very
bright future in tennis, and is a true gentleman
on and off the court. Congratulations, Matt!

error. Ed Behnen playing his first game
since coming off the DL. laced an rbi single
for the fourth run in that stanza. Behnen
commented, "Once we stepped on the field,
it was amazing! Just the sight of the field
was breath-taking! There was a big difference from the fields around here. It was
like playing on a pro field. I'll always
remember, not so much the game, but just
going up there with all the guys from both
teams."
Notes: The players and coaches stayed
at the same hotel on Easter Sunday
night... .The game which was played at the
legendary Doubleday Field, where major
league clubs play the Hall of Fame Game
each year, during HOF Induction weekend, will go down in history as a major
event for both schools.
50th Anniversary of South
Amboy Explosion
By Diane Norek Harrison
50 years ago on Friday evening May
19, 1950. people were going about their
everyday business, when tragedy struck the
city of South Amboy. 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. New Jersey, New York

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.

Striped bass action has picked up at
both SA and Cliffwood Beaches. 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.

are as follows: Session 1: July 10-28, Session 2: July 31-August 18. Children are

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.

Oh Holy St. Anthony, gentlest ol Saints, your love for God

earth to possess miraculous powers. Miracles waited on
your word, which to you were ready to speak for those in
trouble or anxiety. (Make request). The answer to my
prayer may require a miracle. O gentle and loving St.
Anthony whose heart was ever full of human sympathy,
whisper my petition into the ears of the sweet Infant
Jesus who loved to be folded in your arms and the
gratitude of my heart will be yours. This novena has
never been known to fail. Say Our Father: Hail Mary: and
Glory Be.

It's not all that bad being a slug
It's rather nice being a terrestrial gastropod
I was blessed with a beautiful body
Slender, smooth, slippery
I spread all my days assisting society
And I enjoy my time in doing so
My cousin, the snail, must cany his home
Whereas, I am as free as a worm
I eat to decay and thus make soil
I hardly do any harm
I may share a bite from one's garden
But I strengthen the others of the plant
And humans compliment me in return
By serving me with a bowl of beerGod made me for what I can give
I am grateful for this good life I live
Next time you see me
I'll welcome a hug
And remember the saying
"As pretty as a slug."

One of the staples of the Hoffman
High School scene was the annual Senior
Class Play. In 1948, "The Community
Capers," a musical jamboree in two acts
and one of the few musicals ever produced
at HHS, was directed by Al Ritter. "The
Gas House Gang" consisted of Helen
Dziekan, Mary Walczak, Antoinette
Reszkowski, Rita Opiola. Louise Clayton.
Lillian Zadlock, Frank Zebro, Jack Tice,
Howard Wray, John King, Robert Evans,
Stanley Kowalewski. Rudolph Pohl. "The
Household Harmonizers" were Dorothy
Gillis, Betty Wahler. Pat Bogurski, Louise
Bloodgood. Lois Becker, Mary Driscoll.
Olga Nichols. Marlene Koenig. Gloria
Brown, Grace Dill, Grace Kidd. Joan
Munck, Anna Komosinski, Evelyn Katz,
Dolores Ware. Catherine Lesley. Joan
Swiatkowski, Claire Weiss, Edna Marczak.
Jean Septor, AnnGelsinoa, Mary Wojtasek,
Doris Semoneit. Edna Drews, Claire Dill.
Alice Surowka. "The Boy Friends."
Sanaford Hardy, Donald Stratton. Julius
Kurowsky. Gary Lambertson. Thomas
English. Donald Steadman. Stratus Nicholas, Ray Lewandowski. "The Fun-O-Maniacs" were Arthur Burns, Henry Miglin,
Chester Binder, Frank Miglin, Robert
Haslacher. and Harold Larew (who has
film & photos) as "Bojangles."
The 50 graduates of '48 had a great
time putting this "minstrel" type of musical
together. It proved to be so popular that it
even went "on the road" to the Veterans
Hospital in Menlo Park, where it was performed for WW I and WWII vets. What a
wonderful forgotten part of HHS history!

Bon Jovi Gets Praise
For Movie and Music
By Tom Burkard
Sayreville's favorite son, rock 'n' roll/
acting superstar, Jon Bon Jovi has been
getting rave reviews for his outstanding
acting ability in his new movie, "U-571,
He also received very positive feedback
for his band, Bon Jovi. who performed at
the Tradewinds in Sea Bright on April 27.
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.

Recently, students of Emma L. Arleth
School in Sayreville went on class trips to
Staten Island Zoo and to the Trenton Museum and the State Capitol building. All
were exuberant upon their return, and excited to recount the events of their trip,
especially the 4"' graders who were thrilled
to meet Governor Christie Whitman. The
governor stepped out of a meeting for a few
minutes, and spoke with the group, their
highlight of the day. After they told me all
about their memorable day, I posed the
following question, "If you could ask fora
class trip for you and yourclassmates within
New Jersey, where would you like to go?"
Some of these answers might surprise you.
The question was asked to students from
grades K-4.

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,

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

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.

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.
Sayreville (1 -2) Top performers-Brandon Hoyte, Jesse Mesina, R. Mesina. Yazid
Jackson, David Saul, Matt Bodak, Jason
Jedrusiak. Derek Pugh. Mike Rodriguez,
Liam Jones, Kevin Zapata.
South Amboy (6-2) Improving each
time out, the Guvs, are expected to easily
win the Gold Division crown once again.
Superstar Ed Behnen made a huge comeback at Cooperstown from his injury, and
this should be a very big plus. Ace Danny
Poulsen is (4-1), and #1 in the county with
a tniniscule 0.29 ERA. The 1999 Gold
Division "Player of The Year." Richie
Klein is once again stinging the ball at a
record-setting pace.
Sayreville (4-6) A young club with
only one returning starter from last year, the
Bombers will have to play extra hard to
crack .500 under rookie coach, Nick Cifelli,
but wait until next year! Greg Cardilla's
.435 batting avg. ranks him among the
county's top hitters. Soh pitching ace Ed
Goodell looks real sharp, and mixes his
pitches welll.
St. Mary's (2-5) Off to a slow start, don't
count Coach Kazanjian's chargers out of the
fight for the Blue Division title. Ed Foley and
Tom Boychuk have been providing power far
the Saints, and Gerard Pizzillo has stung the
ball well. Troy Mellios has 2 victories.
Sayreville (3-0) This outstanding club
is paced by many terrific athletes including:
Lisa DeBiase, Vanessa Rodriguez, Toni
Beninato, Jessica Walsh, Jen Didik, Ebony
Gray. Claire Inskeep, Bianca Grande,
Kathleen Fallon, Candice Fox, Andrea
Sarvetnick, Karen Vega. Lauren Mayer,
Kristen Dahl. Jen Caro, Kristen Hubela.
St. Mary (0-2) Big winners for the
Lady Eagles have been Andrea Lio,
Danielle Kruame. Stephanie Oels. Melissa
Sanders. Monica Lucas. Cari Crawford,
Tony Mari Amahile.
