St. Mary Alumni Oppose NameChange of School

By Tom Burkard

On July 5'h, twenty-plus St. Mary gradu-ates staged a peaceful march on Augusta St.near the high school, to protest the proposedname change of the school to CardinalMcCarrick High School.

The marchers, comprised of alumnifrom different graduating classes, carriedsigns saying "St. Mary's Forever."

The June 10th announcement by BishopBreen that the name of St. Mary would bechanged to honor the newly appointed Car-dinal McCarrick, has caused great sadnessand shock to all who have attended St.Mary's.

Vincent Higgins, Class of 1949 orga-nized the rally, and the group which isnamed "Friends of St. Mary," were veryeager and ready to discuss their feelings onthe school, the name change, and more.'

Higgins said that "our main purpose isto protect something we have. We thinkthere's a heritage and tradition here, and itshould be left alone. We respect all ideas ofrenaming the school, but it's not accept-able. There is no pressing need. We havea very rich heritage going back to our par-ents and grandparents, who made great sac-rifices to get these buildings up and buildthe parish complex. The jewel in the crownwas to be the school. The purpose was toeducate the deprived recently arrived immi-grants to prepare them for life and a betterappreciation of the church. We feel verystrongly that this gives us a spiritual right tothis property and what happens to it."

Joseph Noble Class of '42 said, "Car-dinal McCarrick. was a good priest, fantas-tic bishop, and would probably make agreat cardinal if he was aware of all thisanguish and distress which is being causedby a name change, that he would be the first

to call the bishop and say forget about it.It's been St. Mary's many, many years.and it should remain that way forever."

VirginiaWilliamsStillwagon'49feelsthat the name should remain the same for"the tradition and spiritual part of it. Weallfeel a closeness, and I just do not knowhow they can do away with the name of theBlessed Mother," she said.

Laurie Wilson Shelley'83 questionedthe diocese on the name change, "What'smore of a diocesan appeal than the BlessedMother? How can they expand on that?By changing it to McCarrick? I just thinkit's horrible that they're naming it aftersomeone who's still alive! Usually it's amemorial after someone passes away. Theman's still alive! His life isn't completedyet. Also think how much money is goingto go into changing the name on the sign,sports equipment, and stationery. I feelbad for the kids who just got their schoolrings with St. Mary on it. Next year they'regoing to graduate from McCarrick High.It's such a shock!

Mary Thompson Wilson '49 com-mented that "The Blessed Mother has beenlooking out for us all this time. She hasbeen ourpatron. and we're under her cloak."

Luke Lenahan '51, who attended St.Mary's Grammar and High Schools, andwent on to become a highly respectedteacher and coach, said that, "It's our his-tory. Our entire family was born here andraised in the parish. I'm really dismayed atthe way it was done, without giving thealumni an opportunity to at least expresstheir feelings. Why is this being done?We're talking about the Mother of Godhere! Rename it. Give us a reason. I spent

Dr. Kathleen Therkelsen says shealways knew she wanted to "be a doc-tor and help people." At 15 years old,she was introduced to the science, art,and philosophy of Chiropractic by herbrother Richard, a Chiropractor, whenshe went to Palmer College in Iowa toattend classes during her summer va-cation.

Chiropractic is an 8-year educa-tion, which Dr. Kathy completed inonly 6 years. Her undergraduate stud-ies were at Montclair State University,where she majored in biology and mi-nored in chemistry. She received herBS and DC degrees from Palmer Col-lege of Chiropractic in Davenport,Iowa. Dr. Therkelsen interned atPalmer, and after graduation, was anassociate for 2 years at her brotherRichard's office which was in OldBridge, and is now in Matawan. Shethen practiced in a family chiropracticoffice in I.yndhurst for 1 year.

A South Amboy native, Dr.Therkelsen has had her own chiro-practic practice since Nov. 12, 1990.Her first office was established onRaritanSt. in Sayreville.

Dr. Therkelsen explains that "thetraditional methods used in medicinedidn't fit my way of thinking. I neverhad any prescribed medications. Thelast aspirin I took was under protest atthe age of 9. Patients find it amazingthat I never had a Tylenol, Penicillin oran antibiotic. I get adjusted no lessthan one time per week."

Did you ever fib, jive, or ribExaggerate, tease, white lie, or quib?Then, I'm sure you've heard this said be-fore-You're full of baloney!It seems my mom would always knowWhether I'd answer yes or noOr, when I would quickly web a loreShe'd know when I was phonyMom seemed to look inside my mindOr even read between my linesShe knew just what I had in storeTo say-you're full of baloney!I never realized the gist of this phraseMy friend Rick would never missA lunch of this deli meat, and pegged formoreI thought he was full of baloney-I must of heard this said a thousand timesWas I that much of a liarOr this just a parental rhyme?In a loving way she'd soothe all my soresBy saying-you're full of baloney!No matterhow anomalous my words wouldbeShe'd make bad a good, and bring smiles tomeInnocent inference I've come to adoreBy her words-you're full of baloney!

Fishing FlashesBy Teo "Weebles" Weber

Salt WaterSummer fluke fishing is well under-

way as I found out July 3 taking out aprivate skiff out of Atlantic Highlands Icaught 14 fluke plus a bluefish. Only 5were keepers with the top fish at 3 poundsdespite the windy weather. Overall, fishingis good and party boats fishing in the oceanhad some big fishing from 8-10 lbs. Blue-fish action on the party boats is really goodoffshore with fish averaging 6-12 poundswith some bigger. Some blue sharks areshowing up in the Chum Slicks also. Nobonito yet, but they should be here soon.Whatever action I've seen at Cliffwood &SA.Beaches is slow with only a few blue-fish being caught. There are still a fewstriped bass in the bay mostly drifting wormsat night from boats along with some weak-fish.

Fresh WaterAction on bass and pickerel is consis-

tent. I fished a small lake in Sussex Countythe last 2 weeks in June. One time, I caught1 bass, 2 pickerel, and had at least 5 cut offmy plastic worms. Another time I had 2pickerel. 1 bluegill and 4 cut offs, losing apickerel about 18 inches. For holdovertrout, try the Pequest, Musky and Flatbrook-there are still trout left from spring stock-ings.

St. Mary Alumni Oppose Name Change ofSchool (continued from pg. 1)

the better part of half of my life in aCatholic institution. To me it sounds likean injustice!"

Ed Triggs '49, one of the organizersof "Friends of St. Mary" said that he doesn' twant the name changed because of hisheritage. "My grandfather was the firstChief of Police in South Amboy, and hehelped physically to build the school. Ourentire family went to the school, and it wasalways St. Mary"s. We talk about it inpossession, and it belongs to St. Mary, theBlessed Virgin, and I can't imagine re-placing the Blessed Virgin's name with amere mortal. God bless the cardinal. He'sa wonderful person, we love him, and hopehe does well. Some other edifice moreworthy of him perhaps should be men-tioned as McCarrick whatever, but not St.Mary High School."

Bob Fleming '45 said that "This isnamed after the Blessed Virgin, and itsbeen here for years, and should stay hereforever. I can't see why they would wantto make such a drastic change. It's beenhere for over 100 years and has a tremen-dous reputation in all areas of school,academics and athletics."

Joe Jaskowiak '68, now residing inCalifornia was visiting relatives in NewJersey, and was compelled to show hisloyalty to his alma mater by attending themarch. "It's a shame to change the nameof the school that has over 100 years tradi-tion, that everyone can identify with, andname it after someone who is still alive. Itwould be more appropriate to name a newschool in his honor. St. Mary's has a longtradition in the community, and it wouldbe sad to erase it with the stroke of a pen."

Vincent Abbatiello '49 feels that "weneed to keep our traditions alive and well,and retaining the name St. Mary's is theua\ to stay on Hack. No unilateral deci-sion by the diocese of Metuchen should beallowed to interrupt that tradition and sweepaway the name of St. Mary's High School.It would be terribly unfair."

John Higgins '49 says, "The bestmanagers know that they must structuretheir plans, and decisions, so that the mem-bers of the organization feel they have astake, and a say in what is going on aroundthem. The days when the top level of anyorganization just makes a decision with noconsideration for the lower levels of thegroup are long gone. At least they are ineffective/profitable groups. This namechange (of St. Mary's) is a very poordecision."

St. Mary's has been a well-respectedname, synonymous with our communitiesfor over 100 years. The school is withouta doubt, an important part of our identity!We were educated here, and definitelydon't want the name changed! I'm espe-cially proud of many things which include

being a member of the Class of 1969, thefirst to graduate from the present building,a member of St. Mary's last baseball statechampionship team that year, and mostrecently a memberof the new Sports Hall ofFame Committee which took one-full yearto research and develop. The inauguralinduction drew nearly 500 alumni andfriends! Memories...Identity.. .importantto us all! I'm sure Cardinal McCarrick hasmemories that are important to him. and hewouldn't want them tampered with in anyway.

Over the past several years, the St.Mar)' Alumni Association has grown inleaps and bounds. Thanks to the dedicationand hard work of Alumni Director, JanetGray, more and more graduates have beengetting back to their roots, whether it beseeking addresses of old classmates forreunions, or attending school functions orathletic events. Along with this rekindledinterest in their alma mater, alumni havebeen very generous towards the AlumniFundraiser each year, and most recentlydonated over $60,000. I really can't fore-see any St. Mary grads contributing to theirschool if it is renamed Cardinal McCarrickHigh School.

In closing, I feel that CardinalMcCarrick is a brilliant man, and if hepersonally gets to read this and all of theother correspondence that has been sent infavor of keeping the name St. Mary HighSchool intact, he will realize how importantour Blessed Mother Mary's name is to us ,and the sadness and dismay of the alumni,and decline the "gift" of the school's namechange.

One '60 grad, who wished to remainanonymous suggested they "Name some-thing else around Metuchen, where he wasbishop after him. Maybe change St. Joseph'sto McCarrick High School." Another per-son wanted to know "What has he donethat's been so great for our towns'? As amatter of fact, what has he done at all for St.Mary's?"

Edward Triggs led the alumni as theysaid three Hail Marys to close the peacefulgathering.

A parade to "Save St. Mary" will beheld on Wed., Aug. 15. Assembly time is 6p.m. on the sidewalk opposite the school onAugusta St., and the parade will begin at6:30 p.m. 200 people minimum are askedto participate and form a "living rosaryband". Marchers will go across StevensAye., Bordentown Ave., Broadway, andAugusta St. The rally will be at the ParishComplex. Anyone wishing to voice theiropinions and comments on saving St. Maryshould send their letters to; His EminenceTheodore Cardinal McCarrick, The Arch-diocese of Washington, DC, 5001 EasternAve., Hyattsville, Md. 20017.

The research lab where KimBasinger rescued beagles not too longago, is one of the largest contract ani-mal testing companies in. the world.Right here in New Jersey, there aremore than 70.000 animals (dogs. cats.monkeys, guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, miceand birds) waiting to be tortured andkilled.

Undercover exposes and showsworkers hitting crying puppies in theface, poorly trained lab personnel caus-ing serious physical injuries just col-lecting blood, monkeys hunched overin pain after abdominal surgery per-formed by personnel with no vet train-ing, technicians "practice" surgery onlightly anesthetized rats, then failing tokill them by breaking their necks, theyare put in a plastic bag to suffocate.Extensive footage on video shows labworkers taunting and abusing animalseven as they subjected them to invasiveprocedures and chemical tests. Work-ers were shown throwing monkeys intocages an, in one gruesome scene, asupposedly "post-mortem" dissectionwas performed on a partially sedatedliving monkey.

The reputation of this lab has beenpermanently damaged in Great Britain.Let us do the same in New Jersey. Callme for mailing, phone and fax numbers727-6904.

Remember When?Decisions were made by going "eeny-

meeny-miney-mo."Mistakes were corrected by simply ex-

claiming "Do over!""Race issue' meant arguing about who ran

the fastest.Money issues were handled by whoever

was the banker in "Monopoly."Catching the fireflies could happily oc-

cupy an entire evening.It wasn't odd to have two or three "best"

friends.Being old. referred to anyone over 20.The net on a tennis court was the perfect

height to play volleyball and rules didn't matter.The worst thing you could catch from the

opposite sex was cooties.It was magic when dad would "remove" his

thumb.It was unbelievable that dodge ball wasn't

a Olympic event.Having a weapon in school meant being

caught with a slingshot.Nobody was prettier than Mom.Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made

better.It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to

ride the "big people" rides at an amusementparks.

Getting a fool of snow was a dream cometrue.

Abilities were discovered because of a'double-dog-dare."

Saturday morning cartoons weren't 30-minute ads for action figures.

No shopping trip was complete, unlessanew toy was brought home.

"Olly-Olly-Oxen-Free" made perfect sense.Spinning around, getting di/z\ and falling

down was cause for giggles.The worst embarrassment was being picked

last for a team.War was a card game.Water balloons were the ultimate weapon.Baseball cards in the spokes transformed

any bike into a motorcycle.Taking drugs meant orange-flavored chew-

able aspirin.Ice cream was considered a basic food

group.Older siblings were the worst tormentors,

but also the fiercest protectors.If you can remember most or all of these.

then you have LIVED!Pass this on to anyone who ma\ need a

break from their "grown up" life.

Dear Editor,Just writing to let you know how much

I enjoy the SA Times! My mother sent methe paper and I'll be a subscriber now, andlook forward to each issue.

Having been born and raised in SouthAmboy, and living there for41 years, I havea lot of friends and memories of "ThePleasant Little City." Even though I movedtoLincolnville, Pa., 30 miles south of LakeErie back in 1990, South Amboy will al-ways be my home. I try to get back to towna few times a year, and your paper keeps mein touch. Enclosed is a picture of a SpringGobbler I got this past Spring Huntingseason. Keep up the good work! You havea great staff and paper!

Dear Editor,Keep up the good work! The South

Sincerely,Ann St. AmourSouth Amboy

Dear Editor,We moved away 7 years ago, and we

love receiving The SA Times ! We stillthink about all of those good years there andthe great people! We share the paper withothers here! Keep the news coming!

Thanks,Patricia Malkiewicz

Dear Editor,I enjoy the paper very much. It is very

informative and a good way to keep up withwhat's going on back home!

Stella Standowski,Arizona(formerly of Sayreville)

Dear Editor,As a graduate of -St.-*Mary's Hijrh -

School, Class of 1970,1 would like to raisemy voice with those who oppose changingthe name of the distinguished institution. Iwas extremely dismayed when I heard thenews that the name of St. Mary would beremoved in favor of the name of CardinalTheodore E. McCarrick.

The Diocese of Metuchen argues it hasthe prerogative of implementing the namechange because St. Mary's High School isno longer a parish school. Why anyone atthe diocesan level would want to abandonsuch an extensive and rich tradition, how-ever, is beyond me.

The school's history will be foreverlinked to the history of St. Mary's parishand the history of the South Amboy com-munity. Its place in my personal history islikewise assured.

If the Diocese will not reverse thisaction. I would consider it a magnanimousgesture on the part of Cardinal McCarrick ifhe would simply decline having our schoolnamed in his honor, the name of St. Maryshould be preserved for generations to come.

30 Years Ago..."Whiffle Ball King"Retires With 1,010Home Runs

By Tom BurkardBack in the 1960's when we were kids,

whiffle ball ruled! Our big thing duringsummer vacations, seven days a week wasto play fun-filled whiffle ball games, in ourneighborhoods. The only nights we didn'tplay were when we had official baseballgames in the local youth leagues.

In the early 1960's, South Amboy na-tive, Tom Durski was introduced to thegame of whiffle ball by his father, the lateLeon "Sonny" Durski. They played on thecorner lot ofNorthFeltus St. & WashingtonAve., and according to Tom, "we threwwhiffle balls because he didn't want tobreak windows in our house."

The youngster fell in love with thegame, and in '62 he started his own whiffleball league. Although the field was small.home runs did not come easy. Field mea-surements were 87 feet down the right fieldline, 58 feet in left, and center field was 94feet. It was still a lefty's ballpark becauseof a tall tree in left, called "the Big GreenMonster," which stopped most balls.

1962 was a memorable rookie seasonfor Durski, who would later become knownas "The Whiffle Ball King." He blasted 25home runs to win his first of 10 consecutiveHR crowns, and was voted Rookie of theYear. The World Series was cancelledbecause of a leg injury to the Commis-sioner/superstar.

Tom won his first Triple Crown in '63.by hammering 75 HR's, 180 rbi's, and alofty .740 batti ng avg. The versatile standoutwon 20 games on the mound for the firsttime, finishing 21-10. Due to his leg injurythe previous season, he was again chosenRookie of the Year.

Through the years, many well-knownlocal athletes played in the Whiffle BallLeague at Durski Memorial. They included;Rich Falk, Joe Gecek, Dave Usa, CraigCoughlin, Wally Nebus, Gary Shereyka,Bob Slratton, the late Mike Creange. MikeDurski, Ken Kokoszka, Tim Brand, LouieUsa, Chris Dill (the only female, and one ofthe best players), and Artie Walczak.

Tom Durski's fame grew as "TheWhiffle Ball King," because he continuedto hit more homers each season. In 1964, heblasted 102, 1965-108, 1966-110, 1967-114, and in 1968, had the greatest season inthe history of whiffle ball by orbiting anastronomical 254 home runs, and batted.789. He also finished with 156 wins andonly 12 losses, as the league's dominatingpitcher. He also racked up 102 wins in '69.

1970 marked the first time that Tomdid not win the Cy Young Award for toppitcher. His younger brother Mike turnedin a super 31 -3 mark to capture the covetedaward. Throughout his 10-year career,Tom's list of accomplishments and awardsare mind-boggling; MVP-10 times; TripleCrown-10 times; topped the league in homeruns, rbi's, and batting average every year,and led the league in pitching for 9 out of 10seasons. His stellar defensive play earnedhim yet another nickname. "The HumanVacuum" by fellow teammates. Tom wonthe Golden Glove Award his last 7 years.

' He was an All-Star selection every season.Durski's favorite records are his 1,010

career home runs, and 10,000 plus runsbatted in. Gary Shereyka was 2nd on the Ail-Time home run list with 627. "The WhiffleBall King" officially retired from the gamehe made famous in 1971, but stayed on asLeague Commissioner.

During an interview with "The WhiffleBall King," he told me that he kept all of therecords "in a marble tablet. I' m-a fanatic onstats," he said. Durski also mentioned thathe founded the league because it was "sohard to get a hardball game together. You'dhave to find a field, and then get 12 players."

Tom's greatest memory was beltinghis l,000'h homer, and also the first nightgame, when they added an extension to thelights on his father's garage, so they wouldpoint out to the field. He also recalled thatthe players would wear their Little Leagueuniforms for the All-Star Game each year.

"The Whiffle Ball King" highly rec-ommends the earrreof whiffle ball to theyouth of today, and says. "It's easier to getpickup games, and the only difference is thelighter bat and ball. If you can catch awhiffle ball pop up with all the crazy mo-tions it makes, you can catch any ball."

Those whiffle ball days were wonder-ful times for all of us. and Tom Durski wasa most definitely creative and ingeniousyoungster, who truly loved the game. Notonly did he build the field, and organize theentire league, but also kept accurate recordsof the players. I sure wish we kept recordsfrom our neighborhood league! It would befun to look back on.

WHIFFLE NOTES: As a youngster.Tom's favorite player was Mickey Mantle,and his favorite team was theYankees.. .Durski is now playing in his 23rd

Softball season, and is still batting leadoffand currently hitting an awesome .653 forthe Hired Guns team in the SayrevilleLeague...

The Elusive High School No - HitterBy Tom Burkard

High School O-hitters in varsity base-ball or softball have always been an ulti-mate feat for pitchers, though few and farbetween. Back in the old days of highschool baseball, it was even tougher thantoday to throw a gem, as the pitcher had tobe on top of his game for 9 innings insteadof 7 stanzas as it has been since the 1950's.

Even now, you will see scholastic 0-hitters in your daily sports pages, but youreally can't call them pure O-hitters, be-cause most are accomplished in less than ',innings. The 10-run rule prevents furtherhumiliation to less-talented teams, and pro-vides quick O-hitters, for pitchers, almostalways in under 7 innings.

The following is a list of the local highschool baseball and softball pitchers whohave hurled the elusive 0-hittei, the year,the teams they were thrown against and thescore. I realize this is not a complete list, asmy research time is strictly limited, but ifyou have any to add, and can prove it,please call me or send the info.

Traveling with Back PainWhether for business or pleasure,

traveling is hard on your back. Youspend time in uncomfortable seats andunfamiliar beds and carry heavy suit-cases through airports and hotel lob-bies. It's time to give your back avacation by learning how to travel withback pain.

1. Lighten your luggage load.Resist the temptation to pack every-thing in one carry-on suitcase or gar-ment bag. If you want to avoid check-ing luggage, pack only what you cancarry comfortably. If you carry a gar-ment bag or suitcase with straps, re-member to balance the load by alternat-ing shoulders. Carrying two suitcasesof approximately equal weight is aneven better solution.

Be aware of proper body mechan-ics while carrying your luggage. Imag-ine an invisible line that starts at yourear and continues past your shoulder toyour hip. When the line is straight,your back is in proper balance.

Use luggage carts. Push the cartwith both arms and keep your elbowstucked in close to your body to avoidover-reaching

The next time you buy luggage,look for lightweight suitcases with built-in rollers. Make sure the handle allowsyou to stand up straight while pulling orpushing the suitcases. Rubber wheelsare recommended for protection againstslips and skids.

2. Beat back pain. Airline seats arenot designed for comfort. From firstclass to economy, all passengers havethe same complaints. Fortunately, yoncan make a few simple adjustments toprotect your back. For lumbar support,place an airline pillow or a folded blan-ket in the small of your back. Beconscious of your posture, especially ifyou want to nap. Use a pillow or foldedblanket to support your neck.

Gentle stretching exercisescan helprelieve the stress of a long trip. Try tostand in the aisle and walk a little atleast once every hour.

3. Making your back count. Learnto make choices that will protect yourback from stress and strain. Lease alittle extra time to get to the airport. Letthe redcap handle your luggage.

By including these choices in yourtravel plans, you'll have a more relax-ing and pain-free trip!

Rebate DeadlineExtension July 31

Senator Joseph Vitale, Assembly-man John Wisniewski, and Assembly-woman Arline Friscia today urged theresidents of the 19"' District who have notfiled this year's NJ SAVER property taxrebate to take advantage of the extendeddeadline July 31.

New Jersey's director of taxationextended the original deadline from July2 to July 31. Approximately 300,000taxpayers have yet to file for their SAVERrebate checks, w hich arc scheduled to bemailed in early September.

'It is only right that the State extendthe deadline for NJ SAVER applicants,homeowners are certainly entitled to arebate on the taxes they have paid andthey deserve additional time to apply forthe rebate," said Senator Vitale. "Myoffice is available to assist anyone havingdifficulty with this program."

The SAVER program began in 1999in a bipartisan effort to help homeownersoffset their school property tax bills.

"Every homeowner has felt the bur-den of ever increasing property taxes inour state," said Assemblywoman Friscia."That is why it is important for those whohave not filed for the NJ SAVER to do soimmediately. I strongly urge every ho-meowner to take advantage of the NJSAVER rebate."

The SAVER program was plannedto be phased in over five years, with thisyear's average check set at $360. But thelegislature recently voted to step up theSAVER program, increasing this year'scheck to roughly $500.

Senator Vitale, AssemblymanWisniewski, and Assemblywoman Frisciawere among the lawmakers who sup-ported the move to accelerate the SAVERrebates, providing more property relieffaster.

"With a simple phone call,homeowners can- take about $500-offtheir property taxes," said AssemblymanWisniewski. "I urge residents to take fulladvantage of this tax break. I am pleasedto be able to bring this relief to the taxpay-ers of New Jersey."

Anyone interested in finding out moreinformation about this program can con-tact any of the district offices.

NOVENA TO ST. ANTHONYOh Holy St. Anthony, gentlest of Saints,your love for God and charity for hiscreatures made you worthy when on earthto possess miraculous powers. Miracleswaited on your word, which you were readyto speak for those in trouble or anxiety.(Make request). The answer to my prayermay require a miracle. O gentle and lovingSt. Anthony whose heart was ever full ofhuman sympathy, whisper my petition intothe ears of the sweet infant Jesus wholoved to be folded in your arms and thegratitude of my heart will be yours. Thisnovena has never been known to fail. SayOur Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be. J.C.
