I would like (o take thisopportunity to Inform theresidents of the third ward ofsome of the activities of thecity council during themonth of November:

1. As the result of therecent demonstrationvoyage to New York City,there has been a great dealof interest in town onpropoteA ferry services.While sH who attendedenjoyed the trip, no proposalhas yet been made to thecity. Mr. John Westlake.president of the ferrycompany, will be Invited tospeak to the city council inJanuary.

2. Several members of thecity council were pleased tohave been able to attend theceremonies marking the125th anniversary of theFirst Presbyterian Church.A resolution ofcongratulation waspresented to Rev. JosephGray by Council PresidentHulsart.

3. The city council passeda resolution to allow ourpolice officers to receive ttheir retroactive pay beforethe Chrtefmas holidays. Thecity and the PBA had been innegotiations for nearly twoyears and have reached anagreement on most items

4. Congratulations wereoffered on the retirement ofa long time city employee.Ellie McCabe Elite was avalued employee and will bemissed. She will bepresented with a watch at afuture date.

5 Congratulations werealso offered to former mayorWilliam E "Doc" OLoaryon his retirement asMiddlesex County PersonnelDirector

1989 was a year when thepolitical divisions in our cityseemed to worsendramatically. Name calling,rymors and innuendo,disruptive behavior, andmost recently, threats ofarmed violence havebecome the norm at councilmeetings.

At the Nov. 38 meeting a

resident asked somewhatrhetorically, "When is allthis going to end?" I thinkthe answer to that .-Mestionshould be "now!" What hashappened in the past is doneWe need to look forward tothe future of our city ascitizens united for the goodof South Amboy. We havemany challenges to face in19W, and success will hedifficult if the currentatmosphere of dissensioncontinues

Christmas is a time ofreconciliation and of hopefor the future, ft is my hopethat there can be areconciliation of thedivisions in our city. No onewill gain from thecontinuation of this strife

My warmest wishes for aMerry Christmas and ahappy and prosperous NewYear to all

Sincerely,Rick O'Connor

This seem- took pr«-i<e lastweek. November :io. it <hePines Manor in KdisonMore than HOO peoplejammed the huge ballroomSuddenly, the sound ofbagpipes filled ihe air andthe easily recognizable"Noire Dame Fight Song."was heard.

The a man walked throughthe double doors in themiddle of thf room and thecrowd. all standing,applauded sjnd applauded,drowning out the beautifulsounds of the bagpipes Theman. dt es ed in a very sharpdark suit, smiling broadly,waved Eo the crowd

It was a sight to see afriend of us alt. William"Doc" O'Leary as he madetiis way to his table with his .family on this the night of hisretirement dinner afternearly 14 years as thepersonnel director ofMiddlesex County.

This introduction wastypical of the man knownsimply as "Doc" class andstyle And it was only thebeginning of a nightdedicated to his work withIhe county and of the manhimself whose years ofpublic service touched manyindividuals When anyoneasked Doc for a favor., hedid his best to accommodatethem

The accolades spilledforward as did the manytales about the life of ;ivery colorful man

Doc's sister. Sister MarieThomas O'Leary, delivereda "This is Your Life"retrospect i vi> of herbrother's early life andachievements The oftenmovinR, sometimeshumorous retrospectivetraced Doc's rise from hisclose-knit upbringing andcovered his many careerachievements One storydating back to Docschildhood was quitetouching Sister ManeThomas spoke of a timewhen a grade school teachercalled on young Bill as sheposed the question "Whatwas the last thing you didlast night before going tobed?" The teacher wasexpecting the reply to be " Ibrushed my teeth beforegoing to bed " But instead.the answer he gave was: " Idipped my hand in the holywater and blessed myselfbefore going to bed."' Hisreply was quite telling of hisupbringing /

Speakin^^u1 ith Doc afterhis retirme'nt dinner, he wasclearly overwhelmed by ftieoutpouring of Jove,friendship and support by allthose that chose to honor himon the night of this dinnerThat night can "also besummed up in twowords class and style

"It (retirement) has beensomething I've been thinkingabout for (he last two

• years."Doc said "1 put it offiast year and was going toleave in February butFreeholder i David B>Crabiel asked me to hold offuntil July and then ne saidWell, you might as wellfinish off Ihe year. " Docsaid

Doc joined the County inL97& At the time Peter DalyCampbell was FreeholderDirector and the lateFreeholder John Kuoneywas chairman of finance andadministration The decisumto take the position was oneof the most difficult ones he'shad to make since itrequired Dm- to res.gn asm;*yor of South Amlniy

" I had some mixedemotions I loved beingmayor Thai was a |ob ol allthe job*, ihiii I held i i m\lifetime thai I realhrevered

Doc. hqs a long list ofaccomplishment during histenure as personnel directorHe had undertaken the taskof reclassifying titles for ailcounty employees. CivilService Commissionerfiugene McCaffreyappointed Doc to serve as amember of the LocalGovernment Advisory forthe Civil Service ReformAct. .

He was also selected as atrustee for the New JerseyPublic EmployeesRetirement System For thepast five years. Doc held theposition of President of thePublic Personnel DirectorsAssociation of New Jersey

In announcing Doc'sretirement. the countrypersonnel department'sofficial newsletter said "Hisfundamental principle, thatthe dominant purpose of thepersonnel department is toserve the needs of countyemployees, and the generafpublic, has won him therespect and admiration ofhis colleagues and his entirestaff

The labor relationsdivision negotiates with 32 separate County Employeebargaining units. Twice asmany as when Doc took overthe job And the respect andwell wishes were alsodemonstrated that night asthose on "the other side olthe table" expressed theirgratitude fora job well done.

A lot of accomplishmentsm a position he clearlyenjoyed So Doc. what areyou gong to miss the most''" I 'm a people person I'mreally going to miss. theaction and the excitement ofbeing a close part of thefreeholder team." Doc said

He specifically mentionedthe intensity <>/• thefreeholder meeting beforean elect ion

"The thing 111 miss theleast is Route 18 from SouthRi' er into New Brunswick inthe morning and that'sprobably it " When I got toNew Brunswick I felt that iswhere I belonged v

"My job. every time I satat my desk there was a newchallenge Every phone callbrought a new situation orevery visitor to thepersonnel department whowas a county employee thathad a personal or workrelated problem who >v;islooking for some kind otchance to better themselves.I tried to help

Looking, back, some of thebest aspects of his positionwith the Count> was theclose relationships with theFreeholders who served mthe past 14 years "especiallyPeter Campbell who was myfirst director. John Uooneywho was my first chairman.John Smith, SteveCapestro such a gentleman and Dave Crabiel, avery dynamic individualwho stayed or.a case until itwas resolved

Although his career withthe County comes to a close.Doc will remain very activeOne of his current positions.Commissioner ot the SouthAmboy RedevelopmentAgency, has a touch of ironyto it As a member ot the citscouncil, in. the late IMOs Itithe mid ltf>Os.

committees They really puta lot of pressure on us

" I think I helped resolvethe questions about thelandfill when I wentinto NewYork to the Corps ofEngineers and brought backa sample of the mateiral thatwould be pumped up on ourshore," Doc said, noting thatthe quality of the gravelpumped from the floor of thebay is very high

"Because of that we havone of the most valuably...pieces of real estate on theNew Jersey coast." he said

The irony is that Doc ispart of th* board that willoversee its development " Iwould like to stay as port olthe project to do what is hstlor the community

To many retirementmeans time on their handsSo how will someone who hasbeen very active in amember of functions hiswhole life spend this newfound free time? " I expect togive a little bit more time tothe redevelopment agencyand make mysrif availableto the planner and attorneyf<v my daytime meetings

" I have been offered fivepositions If I warned a job Iwould have sti'./ed where Iam," Doc said "But I'm notgoing into a rocking chaireither "

" I 'm going to get him ascrewdriver and a hammerand send him to Vo-Tech."interjected June OLiaryDoc's bride of almost 2Kyears

And. of course. Doc willcontinue to participate ingolf tournaments for variouscharities, including his No 1charitable cause TheSisters of Mercy doltTournament You bet I'll bepromoting that," he said

Other activities Doc islooking forward to is fishingwith longtime friends suchas Allie Clark, golfing with

some friends who are alsoenjoying their retirementand attending baseballgames with anotherlongtime friend. Joe Crowe

The Early Years rDoc, as everyone know^: is

a lifelong South Amboy'anHe served as a flightsergeant during World WarII in China and Burma, Indiatheater of operations Hereceived the Air Medal andOak Leaf Clust'T Followingthe war Doc enrolled inFordhain Cniversity andwas part of that famousclass of IWIW) which was a mixof war veterans with thetolleneage students

"We were affectionatelycaih'd Pop' by all the 1Hyear olds just out of highschool." Doc said

Doc's fondness of politicsdeveloped from his UncleJohn. "He was alwayfcspeaking to me about gettinginvolved In April of 194« Iwas asked if I wouldconsider being a councilcandidate by friends of JohnLeonard. who was acouncilman in my ward Iwould take his place and he.would run for mayor

" I agreed to that JoeMcKeon was mayor and hecame oul with a slate ofcandidates and my opponentwas a very dear friend of myfamily Frank Stanton 1was already in. I did notk-rnm^ he would be myopponent 1 felt very had but Ididn'l know how to get out ofit I let him know I was sortyhut. I was going to stay in."Doc said He defeatedStanton in a very closeprimary contest and went onto become a councilman

Doc said that although heis very comfortable withpolitics, today's game isquite different than what heexperienced in days gone byThe old campaigns were not

personal, they were moreabout the issues 1 thinkpolitics has allowed itself toIK" degraded Its no longer anissue of what this person willdo for the city, it is 'what-mistake did he make 4<iyears ago It's really gonedownhill." he said

Doc also says hisnewfound free time willallow him to remain deeplyinvolved politically, locallyand county wise I amavailable to any democratwho wants to come and talkto me about any issues. " hesaidWhat's t p l l m " 1

O K . so curiosity got thebetter of me and I had toknow where did Doc comefrom'1 1 think it cametrom a l>oxing match 'Doc-was a member of the SIMarys boxing team i andthere were one or two(Vl^arys on the St Peter'su-arn I don't think thescorers had my first name I(hink Jim Vandeveer startedif and )l earnedremembered

In conclusion.

Doc always speaks of hiswife June and four childrenin glowing terms. "Theyhave been my biggestbooKter* and k«pt me goingin trying years "

He also freely attributesany success he has to thosearound hnn. af the dinnerand again during the coui.seof the inleriew. he oftenspoke ol the warmth andlove from his family andfrom the tremendoussupport of those he has beenassociated with

To the EditorWe would like to take this opportunity to respond to the comments

made by Mr ami Mrs Gosford m thf South Amboy Citi?6n onNovember 2 1989

Mr & Mrs Gosford stated that all the trouble in town was causedby a petition of lies started by . u r father Charles Reilly Thepetition in question was worded this way

We. the undersigned support Claire ReiHy HI ner re appointmentfor the office of city clerk She has served the City of South Ambuy forsixteen years as a clerk typist, assistant tax collector deputy cit i clerkand as city clerk Her ability honesty and integrity speak fo<themselves

We don: see any lies in the above paragraph Perhaps Mr & MrsGosfoid mean that all 1.630 people who Signed it were liars

While our mother does rtc;cve full salary (or cleaning glasses andrunning the mail among other things if you were a city taxpayerwhich you are not. you should be upset with the councilmen whodemoted and publicly humiliated her while continuing her full salary

What we cant understand ;s why does she continue to receive afull salary if she was not good enough to be reappomted7 Perhaps ourcouncilmen feel guilty7

We have no qualms about Judy s respect for our senior citizensafter all she did help a senior citizen get the deputy city clerks job It'sa shame she couldnt wairtwo years for our mother to retc'e withdignity , ^

As for the petition it was presenteo to the Council at the July 271989 meeting Why they refused to recognize it we don t know We doknow that 1.630 tax paying citizens were insulted that night

We suppod the recall and we are proud of it Whether our motherdoes or notws her personal business and it is not a public issue Let snot forget (hat one busy election day a few years ago Judy was outcampaigning for a local candidate while our mother was working alonein City Hall

If you can honestly say that you are proud of yccr daughter after allthat she has done, then we as South Amboy citizens are very luckythat you live in Sayrevilte.

SincerelyMichael ReillyThomas Reilly

To foe EditorI am a lifelong resident of South Amboy my family his lived here

for three generations As a child I remember how my father. Doc0 Leary. cherished the people and town of South Amboy. and howPop inbred ip me these same iffectionite feelings fo< this our

Pleasant Little City In fact, anyone who has attended an Irish partyparticularly one stirring entertainer Bobby Byrne, will recall the pridefelt when the audience of South Amboyans join in singing "The Town1 Loved So Well' This song begins by telling of the strong sentimentthe composer Phil Coulter, has for his home town in North Irel^d:

Running home in the rain inn ing up the dark lanepassed the jail and down behind the fountainThose were happy days in so many many waysIn the Town I Loved So Well

As an adult I didn't expect life to be the way I perceived it as achild, but I wasn't prepared for the petty ».id setf centered attitudesI've witnessed on the rise in South Amboy It's frightening and sadhow overly self important one s community can become when one spersonal and occupational life rarely brings them outside the milesquire city limits The father, of oir constitution. Junes Madisonfeired that the only factor which could destroy democracy was amajority faction According to Madison, factions are groups of peopleunited by a common passion and these common interests are

Adverse to the rights of other citizens Such fictions could onjydevelop m small homogenous communities like South Amboy andwould lead to initaWity, injustice and confusion introduced intothe public councils Anyone who has attended a town councilmeeting recently can see the truth in Madison s forewarning.

When Phil Coulter returned to his home in North Ireland, he wasshocked to see how drastically his town had changed The town heloved so *H l had been ravaged and destroyed by bombs andterrorism Conversely, the Town I Loved So Well has been barragedand devastated but the ammunition of slanderous words and deceitcan scar us as easily as a r te ry can deface a city Let me leave youwith Ptvl Coulter s saddened closing verses which reflect my feelingstowards what I once considered a pleasant little city

But when I returned how my eyes have burnedto see how a town could be brought to its kneesWith their tanks and their guns oh my God what have they doneto the Town I Loved So WellNow the arrives installed by that old gas yard walland the danned barb wire get mgher and higherI can only pray for a bright, brand new dayin the Town I Loved So Well.'

••This letter is meant as a purely apolitical statement. It is directed >,no specific person or group but is meant to question everyindividual, including myself If anyone feels msuh>d by it. goodHowever, do not use this letter as your scapegoi*. it is merely meantas a catalyst

Hme Hosts CutioiedOi Bugers of Serving Liptr

As the holiday season approaches, Bruce Dolin, CK-\CPIA, president of Professional Insurance Agenu «f NewJersey Inc. (PIANJ), urges home hosts to take care inserving liquor.

"Although most people are aware that bars andrestaurants can be held liable if someone leaving theirestablishment has an accident, many don't realize that ahost can also be held liable if a guest leaving his or herborne causes an accident," Dolin said.

If responsible for an accider-., the guest will most likelybe sued by the victim or, in case of death, by the victim'sestate. In addition, it is quite likely that the host also will besued, since he or she provided the means for the guest to getdrunk and did nothing to prevent the guest from becomingintoxicated or from driving.

More and more often courts are ruling that home hostshave a duty to the public not to allow intoxicated guests toleave a party and drive, thereby endangering the welfare ofothers, Dolin said.

"There are many simple steps hosts can take to avoid thetragedies caused by drunk driving," he said. "If someonehas had too much to drink, take away the person's keys orhave someone sober i . /e him or her home. Be sure to havenon-alcoholic beverages available and cut off access to thebar one to two hours before the end of the party." Dolinadded.

A law passed in New Jersey in 1967 established astandard under which a social host may be held liable fordamages caused by a social guest to whom the boat hasprovided alcoholic beverages. The law provides thatinjured persons other than the intoxicated guest nfayrecover damages if th" Nwt knowingly served a visiblyintoxicated guest, failed ti exercise reasonable care, toavoid the risk, and *he inji/ry arose out of negligentoperation of a vehicle by the- intoxicated guest (all three—"~conditions must be met).

A social host is immune from suit by tn« intoxicated guestor his or her estate; the court will establish a percentage ofnegligence attributable to the intoxicated guest In all cases.

It is with great pride and pleasure that I announce myappointment of Mary Lou DeBlis as director of the SouthAnYooy Youth Center. Mary Lou brings with her themisting ingredient that our youth center committee hasbeen searching for over the last 2 months. She is alreadymaking plans for scheduled instructions on oil painting,arts ana crafts and wood working. There will also bescheduled activities such as voitoyball, basketball andboard games.

The committee is also working on application forms tnatwill require a parents signature. New rules and regulationsalong with membership cards will be provided uponcompletion and approval of each application

I would like to thank Mr Jimmy Gillette who donated$1000.00 to the Youth Onter and provided John Kelly andmyself with the South Amboy Elk's Hall where we held ourappreciation dinner Over 100 volunteers enjoyed anevening of delcious food and dancing lhat was graciouslyprovided by John Kelly, our most active committeemember, and Mr Jimmy Gillette, a most generous man

I am very thankful and supportive of the efforts ptrecreation director Mary Lou DeBlis for her hard work inbringing Babe Huth baseball tack to the young men of our.city. Mary Lou has my complete support in this endeavorto bring competitive Babe Ruth baseball back io «ur citvyouth.

Over tfee test lew yean many trees in our city have beenremoved for various reasons. It is important that we keep

our city green so t am bringing back the shade treecommission to our city government. Anyon« wishing toserve on this commission should inform me in writingwithin the next three, weeks.

()n Sunday November 28. John Westlake. vice presidentof Direct Line Commuter c. -rvice, invited city official* andresidents to discuss anJ demonstrate how a ferry systemcould benefit our city

The city of South Amboy has always been ««transportation hub in central New Jersey. This is one waywe could attract much needed funds into our citv to springboard our water front' development project*' The** ton*,would pay for the much needed acceas roads that ateessential in making our project a complete success for theresidents of our city, t repeat for the residents thet now liveinourrity!

If a success, the ferry system could bring in new revenuesto wir city that could be an litgh as $125,000 per year if theser'ice draws as manypeweogenj as the Highlands Ferry

I will be working with the council, redevelopment agency.South Amboy Boat Club and the planning board over thenext i>w months to decide if the ferry system is in the bestinterests of our city It is important to remember that thecity would have to build 412 average South Amboy singlefamily Home to generate $125,000 in new revenue. The ferrysystem could be run at a net of $125,000 without increasingcity service to accomodate 412 new single family homes,condos. or townhouses.

If any* has a question h regard to the ferry system orwants to 'ng to our attention any important informationabout the proposed ferry system, please attend one of thecouncil meetings and share your v lews with me.

In last month's Citizen a letter was written byCouncilman Mike Charmello and sponsored by CouncilmenHulsart, Defort and O'Connor, that contained misleadingand unsubstantiated information thaf concerns our citv

1l) Overtime in the city of South Amboy is caused by anemergency of one kind or another about 90-95% of the time

(2) Mr. Mason, our business adminstrator and I wereaccused of abusing overtime However, over the last yearovertime in our nty has been reduced by approximately35% which results in a savings of about $80,000

(3) pooling Electric, the city's electrician for many yearshas given the city of South Amboy, our churches andschools a 40% discount over his normal rate DoolingElectric has donated electrical services free to manyorganizations, including labor for the youth center

(4) The past adminstration established the policy to havethe electrician change lamps, flood lights and other bulbslocated in areas where city /workers do not have theequipment to replace them and for liability reasons.

They also instructed the city electrician to change otherfluorescent Iamp6 in city buildings, because sockets werebroken by city workers wh- h became more expensive tothe city The city electrician over the last year has beenmoving away from that policy and establishing a more costeffective way of getting the job done.

«5> Please, the next time you do an investigation,Councilman Charmello. do it. don't make one up.

(6) If th* council wants to start a finance committee, dome a favor and read your city code book. Then, come to cityhall and get involved. You may not know it. but by virtue ofyour position as councilmen, you already approve all

salaries, merit raises, ttipens bills, budget items,appropriations and all spending in our city

(7) fwill always work wUh any one of you, as I have donein the past, to save a tax dollar for our residents. If we worktogether there is nothing we cannot accomplish for our cityresidents and our<:hildren.

Last month our city lost a good friend when Jim Reil ypassed away. My since *t condolences go out to his familyand fri'jnds Jim Reill., was a true champtan of children.His motto and guideline for decision making as a memberand presidentA the Board of Education was "If it's goodfor the kids, then I'm for it " I was fortunate to work with.'im on the Board and can say first hand that he truly lovedou; children and the education system he helped to mold

Jim was a man's man He loved his family, his flag, hisschool and his city He worked and he endorsed each withhis uncanny enthusiasm every day that I knew him. Thiswas best exemplified by his dedicated service to the SouthAmboy Fire.Deti. and the Mecngnicsvllle Engine Companywhere he served as a member and chief

Vrc-spected and admired Jim because he stood for all thatis good Our city lost a good, gentle and kind man in Jim'Reilly

Until next n.jnth may God bless ail of you and yourfamilies during the holiday season

Are the Zoo Keepers Asleep?byj K Fortier

Who, yoii-might ask. arethe "Zoo keepers"? Theanswer, when one is in areflectivemood. is thai WKare!

Haven't you often heardsomeone say that "My officeis a zoo." of "My school is a7oo," or "This place is azoo"0 This phrase, to each ofus, probably signifiessor.«rhing like an organizedconfusion I submit that thiscountry of ours, at tinus.takes on the semblance r-f azoo.

What are thecharac'terisitics of a zoo?The animn'." in the zoogenerally care for twothings Both male andfemale have a continousconcern for being fed; this isprobably the primaryanimal drive The equivalentin humans, I suggest, is thedrive for requiting physical

pirit of that first Holy

fill hearts with love,

adoration, let its wonder

throughout the season.

IT'* are rattjul to our loyal cu*to»t*r» for the yatronay* tittown nt.

Foodtown of South Amboy,Sayreville, Hillsboro, and Manville

desires Female Animalsalso exhibit a drive to carefor their young, after theyare born much like many"modern" women of today

Our society, as weprogress through time,seems to become morehecMc and more demanding,till we see a nation that is

becoming more selfcentered and moreinterested in selfgratification than in ideals

Where are the basics thatwere there when our countrywaa founded? At the time ofthe birth of our nation over200 years ago (we arecurrently in the middle of afive year celebration of theBicentennial of ourConstitution) one of thecharacterisitics of our nationwas the strong moral andethical determination of thecitizenry

This! in its jpirest sense,.omes from being attuned tothe will of God. BenjaminFranklin was quite eloquentin his statements about iheneed for guidance as one ofour most importantdocuments, the Constitution,was being drafted

Although he WJS notknown as a religious man. ;

Franklin rightly reasonedthat we should call upon "theFather of lights to illuminateour understandings" Asrecorded in The Record ofthe Federal Convention of1787 he went on to state:

"In the beginning o( theContest with G. Britain,when we were sensible ofdanger we had daily prayerin this room for the divineprotection Our prayers. Sir.were heard, and they weregraciously answered All ofus who were engaged in thestruggle must have observedfrequent instances of aSuperintending providencein our favor. To that kindprovidence we owe thishappy opportunity ofconsulting in peace on themeans of establishing ourfuture national felicity Andhave we now forgotten thatpowerful frier.r1? Or do weimagine that we no longerneed his assistance? I havelived, Sir, a long time, andthe longer I live, the moreconvincing proofs I see ofthis truth thmt Godgovern* in the utfmir*of men And if a sparrowcannot fall to the groundwithout his notice, is itprobable that an empire canrise without his aid9 Wehave been assured, Sir, inthe sacred writings, that"except the Lord build the HHouse they labour in vai»,that build i t " I firmlybel'evc this; and I alsobelieve that *thout hisconcurring aio we shallsucceed in this politicalbuilding no better than theBuilders of Babel "

'Note: The principlesi f f erred to by Ben Franklincan easily-he found in the.Jewish Scriptures, theCatholic hiMt\ and the manyBible translations used b>Kvungelical ChristiansAccompanying the blessingof God's providence is therequirement to be obedientto his wishes i

Wei seem to be fallingaway from the ideals andtraditions thai h''!p*'*lestablish our country as agreat place to live It is a'well known phrase that' those who do not lea.n fromhistory are doomed tor.'peat it " Surely you'veheard this phrase pleasedon'l brush it off consider itand .'he importance of it no)for yourself but for yourchildi en and grandchildren

M<»t assuredly. thevarious* empnrers ot tneancient Koman F.mpire andKing Nebuchadne/./.er ot theHahvloman Kmpirc did nutbelievi- that decadencewould lie the undoing of thrueuiius yet. where are th<\\loila;.'' Where are Sodomand Gomorrah'' Myths yous.n Hist read about how

many of these Biblicalplaces are uncovered inarehaelogical digs'

I don't intend to be a voiceof doom I don't think thaiour country has come closetr the above situations,however, we should be evervigilent regarding whichdirection our nation isheaded.

You, may be saying toyourself, about now, who ishe to preach? I'm notintending to preach-justreflecting. Many of mycomments r j id true formyself. We ..eed to be morevigilent as we approach theclose of the year 1989 andlook forward to thebeginning of a new decude

I think it bears well thatwe should askourselves—"Is our nationreally going in the way thatit should?" "Am 1 toocomplacent in just lettingthings go the way they aregoing9"

It seems that it's usuallythe case that people with, forwant of a better term, anegative approach to thequality of life, are usuallymore vociferous, morestudent, and most of us whoappreciate values andqualities of life may tend tobe too laid back and notverbal. It should be notedthat Jhe seemingly largenumbers involved indemonstrations on TV. andthose that we read about inthe newspaper, do notsignify the majority opinion

Each of us has theresponsibility to examineissues and come to aconclusion as to what isproper for our society, andeach of us. then, should be'anactive participant inpursuing what is right forour posterity

Let us all resolve to, insome way. make our voicesheai'l, and not allow justthose who demonstrate byburning our flag, or thosewho want to kill an unborninfant inside the womb, orthose promotingpornography, to be the onlyones that lire visible andvocal'

There is a saying that goessomething like this: Ifyou're nnt a part of i.hesolution, then you're a partof the problem " Many of ustend to want to sit on thefence, to not be involved, andthen say that we did notcause the problem and thuscannot be blankedSenator Jesse Helms putthings in a more personalway in his speech agcinstDial-a-porn industry Hestaled that "Somewherealong the way we'veforgotten that we become apart of what we condone "

Each of us needs to remindhimself daily of this factbecause it's tough to standup for what is right andrighteous It's unfortunatelyeasire to let go our grasp othumanity and abdicate ouiresponsibility and thus leia civilized society slip away

We have an opportunity,yea an obligation <»lcitizenship in this greatnation, to give Ihe answer toPresident John Kennedy'schallengt "ask what wecan do for our count rv ' "

Mothers, children,friends or husbands dieevery day because societytacitly accepts this attitude

There are ways to make itour business withoutembarrassing ourselves orothers. The most practicaland effective way is toaccept responsibility foryour actions by alwayschoosing or "designating" anon-drinking driver beforeyou go out for the eveningIncreasingly, people arefinding this to be a good andconvenient way to ensurethey and their travelcompanions will arrivehome safely As more andmore people begin to adoptthis new attitude, publicopinion will no longer treatdrunk driving as "none ofmy business '
