I’m questioning the necessity of several traffic signs in Perth Amboy. One on Florida Grove Rd. reads “deaf child at play.” I’ve been on this street thousands of times and have never seen a child at play, deaf or otherwise. Another on Brace Ave. declares “Autistic Child Area”. Should this street be avoided as if […]

The “Press Release” entitled “Perth Amboy to Hold Energy Port Signing” in the 2/21/12 issue of “The Amboy Guardian” gives rise to more questions than it gives facts or answers.  The “Press Release” is rich in generalities and short on specific facts. Apparently Veridian Partners, with no insult that I know of from the public […]

The collection and euthanasia of feral and stray cats is a waste of valuable tax dollars. Trap, spay and release cost less and saves scarce public monies for more productive social needs such as public safety and education. Feral cats are as much a part of the urban landscape as squirrels, pigeons, raccoons, possums and […]

Welcome to Perth Amboy, the gateway for illegal aliens that have flooded our community. But wait a moment – some people will tell you that they are H1-B Workers, here on a visa because so-called lazy Americans will not work for minimum wage. You think so?

I think it is time that citizens of Perth Amboy take the time to think about how dedicated our Parks Department and Sanitation Department employees are in taking care of our City. We have Danny Cleaver at the Parks Department, thank you Danny for having the flag they replaced, with his dependable men continually at […]

Obama now has a new name. He is now called the Anti-Progress President. He relies on the fact that people will follow him down the primrose path. How foolish these people are — you are the ones that march to the maniacal leader’s drum beat. If he were the leader during the early 1900’s we […]

February 14, 2011 seemed like such a long time ago. I remember exactly what I was doing that evening. Bill George and I had stopped at a store in downtown Perth Amboy to purchase a big Valentine’s Day balloon. We were on our way to see Richard Piatkowski who was a patient at Alameda Care […]

Since the advent of our social welfare programs, lazy Americans have been enabled to a tragic level. For example, my friend Ed has filed for disability which he is more than entitled to.

Make enough noise and Birth Control is covered. I have no great concern about this issue as we have passed in the years when that was an issue in our family. My concern is about being called a UNIT.

Having read the recent articles in the Suburban News and watched the broadcasts of the also-recent Sayreville Borough council meetings, I have a warning for all Sayreville residents who care about their town.
