"I will tell you they picked someone really outstanding this year,"
commented Mayor Joseph Tempesta, Jr.
"Netanya has done so many wonderful things, in so many different areas of our community.
Friendship Circle for special needs children, Sunrise Assisted Living where she worked with Alzheimer's patients - very commendable, a soup kitchen to help feed the homeless,
she participates in Relay for Life - she's done things with the Interfaith Hospitality Network.
She's really a great choice - best in our history."
Councilman Joe Cecere reported that this Saturday at 11am the Crane House will have a Civil War Encampment and the public is invited to stop by for an interesting display.
"I also want to compliment my brother in law, Luca Piscatelli,
who is an officer in Bloomfield," Cecere expressed.
"He was given an award for the most DUI arrest in Essex County with 57,
which is also fourth in the state."
Pot hole crews are working, reported Council President Rich Otterbein, and any resident who feels that their street has pot holes in need of being filled should contact the Department of Public Works at 973-226-2300 so it can be attended to.
