Spiritual Renewal at Sacred HeartSacred Heart Parish has been making

plans to celebrate 100 years of faith! Theseplans have attested to the many and variousways that our community can do that. Oneaspect of our celebrating is to make newagain the interior of our beautiful Church.Over the years the inside of the Church hasreflected the changing times, and the influ-ences that those times have had on art inworship. The renovation that we are plan-ning for "this time" reflects most clearlywho we are today!

Along with the renewal of the interiorof our worship space, the Church, we neededto plan for the renewal of our most interiorworship space, our heart, where our faithresides! Renew is the process that we havechosen to accomplish this hope. For allpeople of all faiths everywhere, this ele-ment holds true, if we want our faith tocontinue to be alive and active, we need tobe continually made new. It is for thisreason that we want to make known to allpeople our plans. We ask you to hold us inyour prayers and your heart during this

process, and we will do the same for you., For those who feel that they would like

to participate in this process it works asfollows:

RENEW is the name of the process puttogether by some people of the NewarkArchdiocese, by the request of ArchbishopPeter Gerety. Its success has drawn moreand more parishes to take up its lead andfollow the path to spiritual renewal. RE-NEW takes place over three years, or fiveseasons of six weeks each. One is in the fall,and one during Lent of each liturgical year.This year we will begin the RENEW pro-cess in Sacred heart on Oct. 8, 1995, theTwenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time.All liturgies for this six week period willreflect on the theme "The Lord's Call." Themost important component of RENEW willbe the Small Groups. This is where peoplemeet once a week to reflect on the comingweek's Gospel. It is in this reflection thatwe come to recognize that we come torecognize the presence of the Risen Christamong us. All are welcome. For furtherinformation, call 721-5050.

Playground SafetyIt is estimated that more than

500 children are seen in U.S. emer-gency rooms each year.

Head injuries are usually themost serious problem. Brokenbones, sprains, and dental injuriesare common in about 25%-30% ofplayground accidents on home play-ground equipment. About 75% ofplayground injuries are due to falls.The second most common cause ofcause of injury is being hit by equip-ment and being cut by sharp hard-ware screws.

The best way to prevent serioushead injuries and broken bones is tohave a soft surface under the playequipment. Even a one-foot fallonto asphalt can cause serious in-jury. A four foot fall onto packedearth or grass can also cause seriousinjury or death. Recommended sur-faces include: Sand 10"deeporwoodchips 12" deep and rubber outdoormats.

Swings should be made of softmaterials, rubber, plastic or canvas.Screws should be covered and woodshould be free of splinters.

Speedy get will wishes go out to ourMechanisville, friend and neighbor, AlKondas. God Bless, and feel bettersoon!

Our youngest daughter for the summerhad gotten herself a job working in recre-ation outside of Cape May. The resort iscalled "Sea Pines, Outdoor World." It islocated in the town of Swainton outside ofAvalon and Cape May, with a busy summerand working 6 days hasn't lent itself tomuch vacation time. After much proddingFather and I finally gave in to a weekendvisit. Relaxing it was!

Sea Pines is a R.V. and camping re-sort. Sitting far back off Route 9 in itsprivate little forest, admission is either bymembership or invitation, security is tight.Once inside the staff is cordial andefficient.They make everyone feel like family and athome. There are many activities for all agesto enjoy. They have a lake surrounded by asandy beach, swimming pool, miniaturegolf, shuffle board, arts and crafts and muchmore. On the Sunday we were there theyhad a pancake and sausage breakfast pre-pared and served by the staff. Julia Childcouldn't have asked for more.

About 3 miles down the road is CapeMay Zoo. Not to mention the town of CapeMay itself, with its quaint Victorian homes,and the ever popular Cape May Ferry toDelaware. Wildwood is also close by withits amusements and boardwalk.

Atlantic City is 20 minutes to the north.We also found a quaint little restaurantcalled "Cape May Court House." Both thefood and service were outstanding. Therewas also a Christmas Shop with 8 roomsthat for Christmas Village and ornament

Fishing Flashesby Teo "Weebles" Weber

Salt WaterOn Sept. 11, I made a Tuna trip with

my wife on the Queen Mary out of Pt.Pleasant. Rough weather, and the aftereffects of the recent hurricane made the tripa total bust. Only a handful of Bluefishwere caught, and both of us were shut out.Good fishing for Tuna, Bonito, and FalseAlbacore in the Mud Hole has fizzled due tothe hurricane. Bluefishing also suffered.

Fluke are preparing to leave, as youread this. Some nice fish are being caught,but there are still plenty of shorts under the14 inch minimum. Fluke fishing has im-proved and along with good numbers ofWeakfish in the Reach area of the Bay,makes for good fishing. Quite a few Weaksare shorts under 14 inches. Bottom fishingfor Ling and Sea Bass still remains good.Some large Kingfish were caught from thesurf recently near Sandy Hook.

Fresh WaterStill slow although I caught and re-

leased a 15-inch Largemouth Bass from aSussex County Pond along with a smallBass and Pickeral. 1 tried for Hybrid Strip-ers at Spruce Run. but caught only one 12-inch Bass. I was told that every night or so,the Hybrids go on a pretty good bite attimes, with big ones hitting Live Herring.With low water levels, everything exceptPanfish remains slow. Farrington Lakedoes produce an occasional large Pike orBass every now and then.

spotlight on LawEnforcement

by Tom Burkard

I had the good fortune of meeting BobHospidor over 20 years ago, when as anovice Sheriff's Officer, was first assignedto Judge Bachman's court, and later JudgeAppleby' s, where Hospidor was the Judge'sMan, in charge of the courtroom. He wasquiet but confident, and really knew his jobinside-out. More importantly to me, he waskind and patient, and took me under wing totrain me on how to become a good Sheriff'sOfficer . . . In the late '70's, early 80's, hehooked up with my softball teams, and wasa good pitcher-second baseman. Bob hasbeen a resident of the Morgan section ofSayreville for over 20 years, and has givenme this most interesting interview.

TB: You grew up in Perth Amboy, andtrained as a boxer. Tell us a bit about that.

BH: I was trained and managed byDick Shingola, and fought 2 years as anamateur and one as a semipro from 1953-55. My record was 29-5-1. In'541 won theN.J. Golden Gloves championship in the112 pound Flyweight division. I foughtunder the name of Bob Hossie, and duringthat same year boxed Tony Orlando in aGolden Gloves bout. He now referees inAtlantic City. I had the honor of fighting onTV in the Golden Gloves. We were onChannel 7, and it was in Black and White.

TB: When and why did you decide thatyou wanted to enter law enforcement? Whendid you join the Sheriff's Office? Who wasSheriff then, and how many have yourworked for since?

BH: I started on Oct. 21, 1968. LocalPolice officers encouraged me to get intolaw enforcement. Sheriff Jamison was thefirst Sheriff I worked for. He was followedby Sheriffs John Flanagan, JosephDeMarino, and currently Joseph C.Spicuzzo, the best. He upgraded the depart-ment the day he stepped in. He made usmore respectable, and we now have morethan 130 members.

TB: Could you tell us a little about thejobs a Sheriffs Officer has to do?

BH: Transportation - transports pris-oners from an institution to court. Investi-gators - work on warrants, Civil Process -serves papers, which I've done for 9 years.I also worked in the courts for 17 years. Wealso have a Canine Unit.

TB: What famous lawyers have youworked with? What were they like?

BH: William Kunstler - friendly, butwatchful to officers; Kenneth Weiner - sharp,very explicit, and knows the law very well;Jack Ford, WNBC Channel 4 Law Com-mentator for the OJ. trial.

TB: What famous trials were you in-volved in?

BH: Joanne Chesimard BLA (BlackLiberation Army) leader, who shot and killeda state trooper, and wounded another. Shehated law enforcement. The Rahway PrisonTrial was another big one, which had 41defendants.

TB: What honors or awards have yourreceived in your field?

BH: While in the courtroom, I made 5arrests, and one outside, in which I assistedthe East Brunswick Police Department, in acar-jacking. I have received commenda-tions from the Sheriff's Dept.

TB: What advice do you have fortoday's teenaged "Wanna-be Cops"?

BH: Respect the law as you wouldwant yourself to be respected.

Sayreville Martial ArtsAcademy Celebrates10th Anniversary

On February 19, 1985 Jack Skutnik,being motivated by the dream of owningand operating his own Martial Arts School,opened the Sayreville Taekwondo Centerin the former Foodtown shopping center.Master Skutnik, who was only a secondDegree Black Belt at the time, was dedi-cated to spreading the art of Taekwondo tomembers of the community. His schoolprogressed steadily throughout the late 80'sand prospered tremendously during the earlyand mid 90's.

Then, in 1992, Skutnik moved theschool to the Say rebrook Towne Center andreopened under a new name-The SayrevilleMartial Arts Academy. It was during thistime that Skutnik Americanized theTaekwondo which, by itself, is only a mar-tial sport, not a Martial Art, by adding othertechniques that he learned previously fromother Japanese and Korean styles. In addi-tion, the new school teaches the rare art ofEight Step Preying Mantis Kung-Fu in ad-dition to the Americanized Taekwondo. Itis this combination, along with dedicationand hard work by Skutnik and his staff of 24instructors, that has made a dent in the livesof 3000+ students that have benefited fromthe school in the community.

1995 marks the 10th anniversary of theschool, and with it brings new goals andchallenges for Sayreville Martial Arts. In1994, Sayreville Martial Arts Academy wonthe N.J. State Championship title in 7 out of8 divisions, as well as placed exceptionallyin all of open tournaments that SMAA at-tended. In addition, Martial Arts BusinessInformation Magazine recently namedSMAA as one of the top 100 Martial ArtsSchools in North America for the secondyear in a row. This has given the school afavorable reputation in the community thatthey must now live up to.

Master Skutnik (1992-1993 Instructorof the Year) who is presently a Fifth DegreeBlack Belt in Americanized Taekwondoand a Level 5 Instructor in Preying MantisKing Fu, is ready to deal with these newgoals and challenges head on, by starting awhole new campaign to spread the art andfurther enhance the school's name in thecommunity. Helping Master Skutnik is 4thDegree Black Belt and 5 time N.J. StateChampion Joe Brignoli, who is the ChiefAssistant Instructor of Sayreville MartialArts Academy and responsible forthe uniquechildren's program that SMAA offers.

Sayreville Martial Arts, whose presentenrollment is 257 (68 of those Black Belts),plans to acquire a student base of over 300by 1996, and wants to open several moreschools in the Middlesex County area. Inaddition, SMAA recently began to trainsome of its more aggressive students inMuay Thai Kickboxing on the amateur cir-cuit. And as a long term goal, MasterSkutnik plans to begin an all new organiza-tion and curriculum and spread the combi-nation of Taekwondo and Eight Step Prey-ing Mantis Kung Fu to even more peoplefor the second half of the 90's. We wishSayreville Martial Arts continued successand good luck for ten more years to come.

LP: About 210 in South Amboy. Mybest years in town were 1989 - 23 &4,1990- 24 & 3, and 1994 - 20-1. (3 years overallmark was 67-7). Overall I have about 330wins.

TB: Who was your hero as a child?

LP: My father (the late Ralph), nodoubt about it!

TB: The best team you ever played onin South Amboy was?

LP: The 1990 Neumann Constructionteam, a very defensive minded team.

LP: As long as I'm an asset. If I'm notan asset, I'm done.

TB: What batters do you least like toface in South Amboy? Team:

LP: Gary Aich and Chuck Prusakowski.They always get something. Who's cur-rently the best hitting team in the league.Monaghan has the most power.

TB: What are your future goals?

LP: To provide for my family, andenjoy life - it's too short. My family comesbefore softball...

After knowing Larry, and playing onthe same team, and also opposing teams for20 years, I can honestly say that he is, toborrow a phrase from the late JohnZdanewicz, "a real winner." Larry alwaysgive 200% whether it be on the softballfield, with the fire company, or whatever, heis a top-notch person. Although no recordshave been officially kept in South AmboySlow Pitch in over 20 years, it is guess-timated that Larry is very close to JohnKaboski in lifetime victories, and now thatKaboski has announced his retirement after25 years, should pass him in the next year ortwo, as the Nolan Ryan of South AmboySlow Pitch . . .

Patriots Play Great SoftballDuring Hurricane Erin

The New Jersey Patriots, a squad com-prised mostly of players from Central Jer-sey and based out of South Amboy, recentlyreturned from a successful journey to Jupi-ter, Florida where they participated in theNational Softball Association Girls 18-Un-der Youth Fast Pitch Softball World Series,played at the Jupiter Community Park.

The Patriots opened play with a 10-0win over the St. Louis War Cats, then de-feated South Central Travelers, the IllinoisState Champions, in a 3-2 victory to reachthe round of 32.

Hurricane Erin then turned back tour-nament play. Organizers were forced toshorten games to a one hour time limit andplay 24 hours straight around the clock.

The Patriots third game was a 2-0 lossto the Milwaukee Diamond Queens. Thegame was played and protested because thePatriots were forced to play without twokey players and two coaches, who weredelayed due to miscommunication with or-ganizers. The mixup was partially causedby the rough weather.

The Patriots won the protest and theloss was erased. However, they were stillplaced in the losers bracket because thegame could not be made up.

The Patriots were eliminated by theFlorida Seminoles, 2-1, a game that startedat 3:00 a.m.

Jamie Keeter, who allowed just twohits against the South Central Travelers,was named Miss World Series in the 18-Under Competition. Bonnie Keeter, hersister, gained the pitching victory over theSt. Louis War Cats.

Sisters, Bonnie, Sabrina, and ErinCohen displayed flashes of brilliance withtheir strong arms and hustling ability. VickiDeuell, a Sayreville product, who report-

edly always wears a smile, played threepositions including pitching hitless ball inrelief of Melissa Valencia in the protestedcontest against the Milwaukee DiamondQueens.

South Amboy's Jessica English's playin Maryland enabled the Patriots to qualifyfor the World Series. Coach Jim Keeter saidJessica made some outstanding catches inMaryland and she should enjoy continuedsuccess this season for Coach Richard Kleinof Hoffman.

Dana Higgins, the youngest member ofthe Patriots and daughter of Coach MikeHiggins, played sparingly but has an oppor-tunity to become a fine player.

Unfortunately, catcher MelissaDyckman of Spotswood was injured anddid not play but Melissa is a real team playerwho is capable of playing any position aswell, and we will hear a lot more about her.Ileana Hernandez who is Rutgers bound,played a great outfield and was the Patriotslead off hitter. Coach Keeter Hernandez'speed is simply amazing and she is a greatkid.

Two other South Amboyans, NicholeMagnifico and Denise Cross played for thePatriot during the season but were unable totravel to Maryland and Florida. Keeter saidboth these kids have excellent softball fu-tures in store for them. Dana Sides, TonyaGaliszewski, and Jeanne-Marie Faganrounded out the Patriot team.

The Patriots are now preparing for theFall Softball League with hopes of havingcontinued success. South Amboyans, SueRowley and Kristin English have now joinedthe squad.

The Patriots would like to take thisopportunity to thank all of the local busi-nesses for their help with their trip toFlorida.
