Appealshave to be filed by April 1st."Lanza continued, "We didhave appraisals in connectionwith tax appeals.

4. The Amboy Guardian * March 22, 2017LOCAL PERSPECTIVEEDITORIALThumbs Up!How I felt walking downSmith Street, Perth Amboy on3/17/17 in the eveningIn the past at Council Meetings, the Perth Amboy Department of Public Works has beentaking it on the chin when itcomes to snow removal onSmith Street.On the evening of 3/17/17 Icaught the 8:40 p.m. train fromSouth Amboy to Perth Amboy.Upon arriving in Perth Amboy,from the time I walked up thetrain steps to the intersectionof Smith and High Streets, thesidewalks and streets (to thecurbs) were clear of 85% ofthe snow. It was a pleasant surprise to see that a person exiting on the passenger side ofvehicles had no snow to climbover. This was on both sides ofthe street. Even stores that hadno sun to help them clear theirsidewalks did an outstandingjob.Kudos to the Department ofPublic Works and to businesses on both sides of SmithStreet who did a fantastic job.Smith Street is the heart of ourbusiness district and everypublic service bus uses thatstreet.I realize that residents in other parts of town may have issues with their streets beingplowed in a timely manner, butthe main thoroughfares haveto take priority.There were a couple of businesses (on other streets in thebusiness district) who I wassurprised did not clean theirsidewalks in the time framethat the City's ordinance calledfor. My advice to those businesses is this: make an agreement with the businesses thathave quick snow removal toclear your sidewalks at thePerth Amboy Department ofPublic WorksUpdate on the Ferry; Remembering aLifetime Resident; Art Gallery ExhibitSOUTH AMBOY - MayorFred Henry was pleased to announce the Federal HighwayAuthority gave funds for recovering the artifacts by theFerry Terminal. "We can nowcontinue the work and we'reheaded in the right direction."Henry continued, "The ArtsDistrict has been a positive addition to the town."Henry also sent condolencesto the family of a well knowncommunity resident, MikeKelly.He was also was happy toreport that the Rotary Club hasjust reopened.Others who sent condolencesto the Kelly family includedCouncilman Tom Reilly whoremembered Kelly in his roleas a well known coach in theCity.Business Administrator Camille Tooker also rememberedwhen Kelly was a plumbinginspector for the City of SouthAmboy.The Arts District was alsomentioned during the Meeting. Councilman Reilly wanted to congratulate those involved in the Arts District,mentioning "It's bringing incrowds. There is a display onsite now by the former ownerof the Blue Moon that willcontinue to be exhibited untilApril 15, 2017."Business Administrator Camille Tooker was excitedabout the same art exhibit withpaintings by Wayne Turback,"They will also be having a70th birthday party for Turback. I urge the press and others to come see the exhibit andother events that the Arts District will have coming up."Coughlin & Wisniewski Bill to EstablishRegistry to Help Police Notify Families After Car Accidents Clears AssemblyBill Supplements Sara’s Law, Which in 2011 EstablishedStatewide Online Next-of-Kin RegistryAbove two photos:Smith Street Perth Amboy3/15/17 at 9 p.m.same time.

The registrywould enable law enforcementagencies to reach a motorist’semergency contact in the eventof a crash that results in serious bodily injury, death or incapacitation of the motoristand inform the emergencycontact of the hospital or otherlocation at which the drivermay be receiving medicaltreatment.The measure effectively is anextension of Sara’s Law, ameasure both Coughlin andWisniewski sponsored, whichin 2011 established a next-ofkin registry linked to a motorist’s driver’s license or permit.Similarly, this new legislationwould tie emergency contactinformation to a motorist’s vehicle identification number.“Having a designated emergency contact can eliminatesome of the guesswork thathealth care professionals otherwise may go through as theyassist a victim who is unable tocommunicate his or her wish-es. More importantly, it canlimit the chances that familymembers will experience thekind of anguish Sara Dubinin’sparents did in 2007, when theyreceived notification two hourslater that their daughter hadbeen in an accident that ultimately was fatal,” said Wisniewski (D-Middlesex). “Acar buyer who takes a fewminutes to provide emergencycontact information at thedealership can pre-emptivelyreduce chaos and heartache inthe unfortunate event of a badaccident.”Under the legislation, autodealers would allow purchasers and lessees of new vehicles(2020 model year or later) tovoluntarily register an emergency contact to be stored inthe registry. The registrywould be for the exclusive useof law enforcement and wouldnot be considered a government record.The bill was approved 62-111 by the Assembly and nowheads to the Senate for furtherconsideration.Easter is Coming up!Call for Our Special Holiday Rates732-896-4446Keep those Letters Coming!
