Hamlin Town fireworks display dates set
Display location:Hamlin
City:Hamlin
State:NY
Date:the coming weeks of the rain-delayed Fourth of July display&September 11,
Details: In an unusually lengthy and well-attended meeting Monday evening, Hamlin Town Council agreed to commence the process of amending a long-standing ordinance banning all terrain vehicles from the municipality's streets. However, Mayor Brian Barrett and number of the council members made clear that the only way to overturn the ordinance fully would be by a referendum, most likely at the time of next summer's town elections.A number of concerned citizens expressed their concerns about being stopped by law enforcement officers for riding ATVs at what they said were very low speeds. One speaker underscored his physical impairments, and highlighted the value of ATV use to him. It was also repeatedly suggested that those riding ATVs at high speeds and dangerously, are most usually from outside the town limits.After lengthy discussion, the members agreed unanimously to begin the process of amending the town ordinance, whereby those town residents with disabilities, whose disability necessitates the use of the ATV, would be exempt from the full ordinance. The amendment will be drafted, reviewed and read at two meetings prior to a vote and passage. In other business, the council agreed to have two fireworks displays during the coming weeks. This will be in place of the rain-delayed Fourth of July display. Fireworks will be let off as part of the Lincoln Primary Care Center's annual Chilifest. A second fireworks display will take place on September 11, as had been earlier suggested. That's the same night as the Lincoln County High School Panther's home opening game against Sissonville.Next week's print edition of The Lincoln Journal will include full reporting on the council meeting.
