She has lived in three centuries, and quite possibly could have voted in 20 presidential elections, the first being in I "020. when Harding became Presi- dent. Margaret recalled her childhood days in the South Amboy/Sayreville area, say- ing that "there were lots of big rocks and sand on the roads, and it was hard to walk." (The roads were not paved back then). She went "all the way through St. Mary's schools." When told about the possibility of the high school's name being changed, she said. "I'll never live to say anything else but St. Mary's. It'll always he St. Mary's." As a youngster, she had about 9 friends, who lived around Main St.. mostly boys. She jokingly said that "the boys were very generous with their pennies, and would always buy us candy." What was it like back in the early 1900's? "Only stores had lights. Houses had no electricity, and we road by candle- light at night. We had a nice big tub in our house, not like now, just a tub," she said. Margaret also said that. "good, nice people lived in town." She once volunteered \wm a^ipup of ladies to collect bed sheets, and they got together at South Amboy Hospital to make bandages for cancer victims. "We even went to Philadelphia with them." she said. Margaret worked for Komar" s in South Amboy, and was also one of the founding members of the St. Mary's Senior Citizens Club. "The meetings started in the cellar underthe church, and moved to the Knights of Columbus Hall." She is still an active member with the Club, and celebrated her 100"' birthday with her friends at the South Amboy Senior Citizens Center. Margaret has been to the new Water- front Park, and says it was different way back when. "They had all those big. black things (horse shoe crabs) come out of the water. It was messy." What is Margaret's secret to living to be 105? She never smoked nor drank, and said. "Anybody that did was crazy. I'm pretty healthy. I can eat anything. I'mjust lucky." For her birthday, she would "like to meet somebody my age." We all wish this wonderful lady continued health and happiness! Happy Birthday, Margaret! *A special thank you to Margaret's wonderful friend, Betty Steuber for ar- ranging this interview. Betty calls Marga- ret, "my inspiration." and she certain!) is a true inspiration.

St. Mary High School ToChange Name?
St. Mary Diocesan High School maysoon have its name changed to honor Car-dinal Theodore E. McCarrick, the firstbishop of the Metuchen Diocese.
The announcement was made at ahomecoming Mass on June 10"1 at the Ca-thedral of St. Francis of Assisi in Metuchen.The news has not been taken well by localpeople, and St. Mary's alumni. Many feelthat it has been St. Mary's for over 115years, so why ruin the tradition?
ST. JUDEMay Ihe Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, lovedand preserved throughout the world now and forever. SacredHeart of Jesus have mercy on us. St. Jude. worker ofmiracles, pray for us. St. Jude. helper of the hopeless, prayfor us. Say this prayer nine times a day for nine days. It hasnever been known to fail. Publication must be promised.Thank you St. Jude. -A.B.

Fishing FlashesBy Teo "Weebles" Weber
Salt WaterFluke fishing is now strong with the
best action in the Western half of the bay.They are even being caught off the PerthAmboy Pier. I saw some keepers therealong with some good size bluefish. Blue-fish action off SA & Cliffwood Beachesruns hot and cold. It's good and gettingbetter on the party boats fishing offshore.For 2001, you are now allowed to keep 15blues with no size limit-an increase of 5fish. More weakfish are showing in the baywith several going over 7 lbs. Rememberthe size limit on fluke is 16 inches and an 8fish bag limit. In NY waters, its 17 inches.
Fresh WaterOn Memorial Day Weekend, my wife
and I tried to fish the Pequest but it wasimpossible, as the water was too high. Wetried for shad at King Kole Pool, but onlygot 1 small bass and no shad. The next dayat Flatbrook. I caught 2 browns-averagesize. She snagged a lamprey. We tried theUpper Delaware at Buck's Bar aboveWolpack Bend, but drew a blank for shad.The first week in June, we returned to thehigh off color Pequest. We caught 2 rain-bows and lost and missed a few more. Itried Lambertville for walleyes in mid-May, and was shutout. In the second weekof June, we returned to the Pequest and bothof us limited out with 4 trout apiece-thelimit after June I. Top fish were a 13 inchrainbow, and 1 had a 14 inch plus brownwhich bit a small plug.

AnimalCare
By Virginia Stillwagon J
Summer is here and please remember,our pets cannot tolerate heal as well as wedo. The greatest hazard is leaving a pet ina parked car. livery year untold numbers ofdogs and cats die or suiter serious internaldamage from being left in an automobilewhich quickly becomes a sweltering oven.The sun's rays easily penetrate windowglass, but have no way to escape outsideagain. With this "greenhouse" effect, theheat continues to build up. Even with thecar's windows partially open, what youhave is an effective solar heat collector inwhich your pet can die very quickly fromheatstroke.
Dogs do not perspire through skin polesas people do. Their primary cooling systemis rapid panting to evaporate water fromthroat and tongue. Humidity makes theirsituation even more desperate.
On an 80 degree day, temperature in-side the car can rapidly reach 102 degrees,and within 30 minutes it can soar to 120.put on a winter coat and YOU sit in theclosed car for a lew minutes. See how youlike it. No mailer how hot you think yourhouse it. it is cooler than the car.
Also, an increasing number ol'dogs arccollapsing from heat prostration while ac-companying owners who arc jogging orbicycling. Midday jogging can be fatal forpets; early morning or late evening whenit's cooler would be better. And don'tforget to check your dog's feet (pads).They can be seriously injured when run-ning on hot concrete, blacktop or cinders.
And, please, if you are going to thebeach, leave Fido home. Would you sit onthe hot sand, in a hot coat, under the blazing

your chances of surviving breast cancer.
It can affect those who love you, too.
It's a fact that the earlier breast cancer is detected,
the better your chances of survival. You should have
at least one mammogram by the age of 40. Women
over 40 should have a mammogram every year.
At conveniently located Bayshore Mammography
Center, our all-female staff of certified technologists
is ready to help with your worries and concerns
about getting a mammogram. They'll also make
sure you get the best care using state-of-the-art
equipment that's custom designed to adjust to the
density of individual breast tissue, while maintaining
superior image quality. And all images are read
by board-certified radiologists.
If you need a mammogram, call us today. With
our increased staff and extended hours, we can
accommodate your schedule now. (732) 739-8819

LETTERSDear Editor,My name is Ed Nowicki, and I lived in
the Sayreville, South Amboy area until1990, when we moved to Aliquippa, Pa., 24miles northwest of Pittsburgh. FollowingThe SA Times brought back many memo-ries. I graduated in 1968 and have fondmemories of Sun Glo Bakery and real hardrolls. Nobody out here has a clue as to whata "real" hard roll is. I miss Taylor pork roll,every time we come out for a visit we loadup on that and "real" bagels.
I've seen a lot of discussion about thecloseness of Sayreville residents and is thatevertrue. Even the police cared about us askids. They'd give you a ride home with noquestions asked if you had to walk too far.I used to walk all over town. Unfortuantely,I've discovered a lot of the things I missother than the food, just don't exist any-more. But my memories of Sayreville willalways be good ones.
Ed Nowicki,Aliquippa, Pa. (formerly of Sayreville)
Dear Editor,Please renew my subscription for an-

Safety Rules for SummertimePool Fun
More and more homes now have swim-ming pools. Even those people who don'thave pools, at least have access to goodplaces lor their families to swim.
With classes from the American RedCross, schools, community programs, andother sources, all children should be taughtthe fun ofswitnming-and swimming safely.
Besides learning to swim, there aresome basic rules for both swimmers and
i
home pool owners. Here are a few of them:• DO NOT allow "c lowning
around" in or near the pool.• Teach children water games for
friendly competitions to avoid poolsidebehavior such as pushing, running, dunk-ing or performing stunts.
• Teach children to be especiallycareful on water slides.
• Be sure an adult is present anytime children are swimming.
• Know for sure that the water isdeep enough before diving in.
• notation devices are fine, but donot depend on them absolutely.
• Keep electrically operated radios,tape players or other equipment away fromthe pool.
• Serve cold drinks in plastic ordisposable, unbreakable containers.
• Keep rescue equipment close tothe pool and in good condition.
• Make sure your pool is fenced inon all sides.
• Don't stay in the water too long.Keep in mind that the glare/reflection of thesun on the water can produce a severe burneven after a very short time.
• Always be alert. Don't overesti-mate your abilities or those of children inyour care. Play it safe.
Have fun in your pool or other swim-ming areas. Make sure each family mem-ber learns the rules so that they becomesecond nature. Then, relax and enjoy swim-ming, one of the best and most popularsummertime activities..

Jim Campion, a 1970 graduate ofSayreville War Memorial High School, hasrecently been promoted to the position ofAthletic Director at Salina Central HighSchool in Salina, Kansas.
Campion, who coached boys basket-ball, girls basketball, and football for 25years, was one of the most successful highschool coaches in Saline County history.His basketball coaching record was an out-standing 334-176.
As the new AD at Central, Jim had tostep down from coaching. He said, "In oneway, the decision was a tough one to make.I hated to give up the coaching responsibili-ties and had totally enjoyed coaching. I'vehad great kids to work with and coachesworking with me. But in other ways, it wasan easy decision. Eventually, you have tomake decisions to move up a little bit, andlook to the future as far as your family isconcerned. In that sense it was an easydecision to make."
