Recently there has been a lot of fighting going on amongst members of different historic organizations. Frankly, I find it very tiresome, especially the personal attacks. The only thing that should be of concern to anyone belonging to these historical groups is PRESERVING THE HISTORY OF PERTH AMBOY AND OUR HISTORIC STRUCTURES. The one individual […]

Sometimes when I attend the Perth Amboy Caucus/Council Meetings I feel as if I’m at a Medieval Times show minus the horses, lances and shields.

EDITORIAL: The Plight – 3 Points
Posted on 28 February 2014.
Point 1 – As I was listening to the speakers at the Wednesday, 2/19/14 Sandy Bill Kick- off Tour at Perth Amboy City Hall, there was a gentleman from Seaside who spoke. He said, “My main residence was not affected by Superstorm Sandy, but my rental property was.” What about those people who run into […]

EDITORIAL: Why Now?
Posted on 21 February 2014.
I’m very puzzled. During the 2/12/14 Perth Amboy City Council Meeting, the 2012 election results were brought up again. After that meeting, someone handed me a printout of the November 6, 2012 ballot. I know what the ballot looked like because I voted that day and I had NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER understanding who was running for […]

EDITORIAL: Sometimes the Best Response is No Response
Posted on 07 February 2014.
At a recent Perth Amboy City Council Meeting, some of the speakers asked that there be more respect given to each other. I couldn’t agree more. There was a well known late Mayor in Middlesex County who had a tiger in his tank. He was very passionate, demonstrative. He would sometimes get into physical confrontations […]

EDITORIAL: Same Questions, Same Answers – Time to Take a Different Route
Posted on 31 January 2014.
Since the December 4th shooting of Dixon Rodriguez there have been peaceful marches asking that justice be served. One march that took place shortly after Dixon died started from Hall Avenue and at one point the marches proceeded down Smith Street and stopped at City Hall. At City Hall some of the marchers had signs […]

EDITORIAL: When Cars Fly! (Or At Least Drive Themselves)
Posted on 24 January 2014.
Do you remember the 1980’s action/adventure show, Knight Rider? The car’s onboard computer, KITT, drove itself. What about the flying cars in the futuristic cartoon, The Jetsons and in the movies: Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones and the cult sci-fi film, Blade Runner. The future is nearer than you think. Science Fiction is becoming Science Fact.

EDITORIAL: Butting Heads: The Debate Over Medical Marijuana
Posted on 17 January 2014.
There have been many debates over the topic of legalization of medical marijuana. These are only our individual opinions. C.M.: I am neither a smoker nor a drinker. To be truthful, alcohol, smoking or taking illegal drugs never appealed to me. When I was very young, one of my relatives died from a drug overdose […]

Jeff B., a longtime friend lives in Arizona and loves to send e-mails that he thinks will be of interest to me. Recently, one in particular jumped out. It had to do with the 2014 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California. On the 125th Anniversary of this traditional parade, there was a float to honor the Women Air Force Service Pilots of WWII (WASPS).

EDITORIAL: Sugar Plum Palace Closes Up Shop
Posted on 03 January 2014.
PERTH AMBOY – Although the Sugar Plum Palace opened up 30 years ago, I only became aware of it seven years ago, when I started working for the Amboy Beacon. I would go there with the late Bill George when he would stop by to pick up an ad or purchase sweet treats for different […]

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! Happy Winter Days!
Posted on 20 December 2013.
Has Political Correctness Gone Too Far? Is it so hard to tell someone, “Merry Christmas?” Nowadays you offend someone if you don’t say, “Happy Holidays.” Last time I checked, December 25th was Christmas. I understand the need not to offend people, but have we gone too far? In Frisco, Texas after an ordinance was passed […]

EDITORIAL: Nit Picking – tale of the tapes
Posted on 13 December 2013.
The killing of Dixon Rodriguez by two Police Officers in Perth Amboy has been the topic of intense interest since it happened on the afternoon of Dec. 4. What bothers me are the two tapes – one supplied by the Perth Amboy Police Department and the other by the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office. Since both […]

November 22, 1963 – This was the day that the earth stood still – not only the United States but worldwide. A vibrant young President with beautiful young family was assassinated. Almost immediately there were those who speculated that the death of John F. Kennedy was the result of a conspiracy. There are just as […]
