Dr. Novembre
South Amboy
Moves to
Leadership Role
Lee Iococca said it best when he said, "In
the automobile business, you either lead, follow or get out of the way".
Dr. Anthony Novembre, Superintendent of
Schools for South Amboy Public Schools, has
applied those words to Education: "In the
Education business, you either lead, follow or
get out of the way."
The concept of a Community School has
launched South Amboy to the forefront of the
education business. South Amboy has come
from the past into the present and moving into
the future as the "Leader" of the Community
School Concept. Other districts will follow or
they will get out of the way.
Dr. Novembre projects early cost estimates
for the new Community School to be between
$10 to $12 million. The actual Net cost to the
taxpayers will be offset by the increased state
aid and other savings as noted below:
1. State Aid 28% of the total amount of the
project.
2. $90,000 a year savings by eliminating
the need for busing to Selover School in
Sayreville.
3. Return of Special Education Classes to
South Amboy realize savings of $200,000$250,000.
Dr. Novembre indicated that the State is
making available low interest loans of l'/2%
for 50% of the total cost. This money is contingent upon the voters approving the School
Referendum scheduled for May 18, 1993.
Let's invest in the future of our children and
support the referendum.

Opinions and comments in printed articles do not
necessarily reflect the opinion of The South AmboySayreville Times, c. 1991.
This newspaper will not be liable for errors appearing in
the advertising beyond the rost of space occupied by error.
Anyone who heard the South Amboy
Public Schools Advanced Band during the
St. Patrick's Day Parade will have to admit
that they were EXCELLENT!
The credit goes not only to the young
ladies and gentlemen who played but it also
goes to their music teacher. Mr. Joseph
Walter.
Mr. Walter works with these kids for I'/: hours, 1 day a week. Before the parade
there are only 5 or 6 practices and everyone
came to the parade well prepared.
If you would like to see and hear to
band.come to the Spring Concert on May
13. This is always an enjoyable evening.
Congratulations again to Mr. Walter and
the Advanced Band for a PERFORMANCE
WELL DONE.

Health conscious individuals;
1 would like lo beg five minutes of your
time. Do you realize that the Food And Drug
Administration (FDA) is working overtime to
classify vitamins, minerals, ami no acids, and
herbs as prescription drugs. The Food And
Drug Administration assumes that individuals
do not possess the expert knowledge required
lo make sound personal decisions regarding
their and their families personal health, particularly if such decisions are outside of what is
judged lo be medically sound by ih American
Medical Association and the Food And Drug
Administration. Ibis group of people,
employed by you and 1, believes that when a
supplement improves human physiological
functioning (improves health) the supplement
becomes a "drug".
Amazing as it may sound, the FDA in May
Of 1992, arms-drawn, raided the health clinic
o\ Jonathan Wright M.D. of Tacoma.
Washington. His office records and supplements were confiscated and staff terrorized by
twelve FDA agents and ten Kent County
policeman. A medical doctor was dispensing
vitamin and mineral supplements to his
patients. Here the FDA had played the role of
common thugs.
There seems to be a link between the LTryptophan scare a few years ago and what the
FDA is attempting lo do now. L-Trypiophan,
an amino acid found in turkey, milk, and other
foods, has been used by literally millions of
people in the United States and around the
world as an aid in dieting, to relieve insomnia,
and to relieve tension. L-Tryptophan was
taken off the market because the product was
contaminated by one Japanese company due to
a faulty laboratory filtration procedure. All
contaminated L-Tryptophan was removed and
yet the FDA still refuses to allow this amino
acid to be sold.
Reflect back for one minute. How many
times have you taken a legal prescription drug
prescribed by a physician and experienced the
side effects of that drug. You probably experienced side effects worse than the cure. There
arc no known side effects when taking vitamin
and mineral supplements, as long as they are
not taken in excess. These same vitamins and
minerals arc found in the food that we cat.
If the Food And Drug Administration is so
vehement on taking something off the market
let them consider the food additives, colorings,
and preservatives that we consume every day.
More has been written concerning the harm
they cause than the good that they do.

Aer Lingus May Shed 1,000 Jobs
Aer Lingus ma) eliminate up to l,000 jobs as part of its new survival package. There
have also been rumors that the airline would discontinue its trans-Atlantic service but this
has been denied by Aer Lingus officials.
Although the world-wide recession was blamed for most of the airline's woes, the policies pursued by its management are also a major factor and a cash infusion b \ the government will be required to rescue the airline.
One of the prime jewels in the Aer Lingus crown, is its ownership of the Copihorne hotel
chain in Britain, France and Belgium, might be offered up for sale, as its worth is estimated
to be more than 100-million pounds.

All About
Pets
By Virginia Stiilwagon
There are 20 million abandoned pets in America today. They have been thrown out of
their homes - left on the side of the road, in an alley or turned in to an animal shelter - simply because that owner does not want the responsibility of caring. These animals arc doomed
to a short and brutal life. The shame of it is that these animals should not have been born in
the first place.
There are more than 10 times as many dos and cats born in America than there are homes
willing to take them in. About 3000 kittens and puppies are born every hour. While you are
reading this 50 dogs and cats have been born. Of the 50. only 5 will find permanent, loving
homes. The rest will be given away or abandoned, and most will be destroyed.
One unspayed female dog and her descendants can produce 4,325 puppies in just 7 generations. One unspayed cat and her offspring can produce 80 million kittens in 10 years
It happens when an irresponsible pet owner lets an unneutered male or unspayed female
roam the neighborhood at will, when parents want their children to witness "the miracle of
birth", or they think it will make the pet lazy and fat. (Food, not surgery, makes animals fat.)
It is not mean or cruel to spay or neuter a pet. Animals do not miss having a sex life or
parenthood. They do desire food, a home and affection, luxuries that unwanted animals are
deprived of.
You can save money by getting it done through Friends of Animals, and if you participate in one or more of the state programs such as food stamps, supplemental social security,
medicaid, welfare, PAAD, etc. Any information you tell me is confidential.
Please call if I can be of any help - 727-6904.

South Amboy-Sayreville Times 7
The Inquiring Report
By Tom Burkard
QUESTION: Do you think Pete Rose
should be allowed to enter Baseball's Hall
of Fame?
Lorraine Vargo, Sayreville- " N o ,
because you're not supposed to do that. It's
a professional sport, and he jeopardized the
quality of the game."
Sonny Ostrowski, Morgan- " Y e s ,
because he deserves it, and Bill Clinton is
the only one that claims he never made a
mistake."
Bill Beattie. So.Amboy- "Yes. A lot of
people did a lot worse. You can't take
something away that a man has earned.
Look at Steinbrenner, banned for life, and
he's back after 2 years."
Tom Misak, Sayreville- "I think he
should, because of what he accomplishcc
while playing baseball."

Fresh Water
Pre-Trout season fishing is now closed
until Opening Day April 10 at 8a.m. Ice is
melting from lakes, and ice fishing will soon
be over. Shad will be ascending the
Delaware River soon, as they are now in
Delaware Bay. Walleye fishing will start as
soon as they spawn.
Salt Water
Cold water and snow runoff have
slowed fishing on all inshore wrecks.
Offshore wrecks in 150 feet of water are
yielding a pick of Ling, Cod,Pollack, and
Blackfish. River & Bay Flounder fishing is
poor due to the weather. If waters warm up
soon expect brief flurries of action, but the
overall outlook is not good, due too much
fishing pressure. Mackeral are off the
Carolinas at present-expect action in midApril.
