  • Preservation trust needs support Nov. 6

    One of life’s eternal frustrations is that we seem to keep dealing with the same problems over and over again. This time last year, many open space advocates supported a referendum introduced by the Monmouth County Board of Freeholders to link the county’s yearly contribution for open space programs to the county’s taxable ratables. It…

  • Resident sees hypocrisy in U.F. politics

    Ihave just read with concern the letter to the editor written by John Nanni. In his letter, Mr. Nanni takes shots at political rhetoric and stands up for doing things “the right way.” What concerns me is that in the same letter to the editor, Mr. Nanni commends Jennifer Coffey for withdrawing from the race…

  • Kinsey is a proven leader for Millstone

    Ameasure of a good leader is his ability to do not what is easy, but what is right. In Millstone, we are fortunate to have this type of leadership. I have personally come to know Bob Kinsey as someone who is fair and willing to listen to all sides of an issue and then act…

  • Eerie contact lenses could harm youths’ eyes

    I’m writing to spread the word about a Halloween health danger most often affecting teens. Partygoers and trick-ortreaters looking to enhance their costumes sometimes wear nonprescriptive cosmetic contact lenses with odd designs or funky colors. These lenses are sold illegally in many states in hair and nail salons, and by street, mall and flea market…

  • Coffey pulls out of race in support of Fleischacker and Moslowski

    Ibelieve that this November’s election will be one of the closest races we’ve seen in Upper Freehold in recent years. I also believe that its outcome will determine whether we will maintain our rural community or we will encourage our farmers to grow more housing and commercial development instead of crops, livestock, and horses. It…

  • Will the last person in N.J. turn out the lights?

    GREG BEAN Coda There was an interesting poll released last week that found 49 percent of the people in New Jersey would like to leave the state and move someplace where they can afford to live. The Monmouth University/Gannett New Jersey pollsters said that of those who responded, 51 percent are serious enough to make…

  • Deputy mayor deserves a second term in office

    Three years ago Millstone residents elected Republican Bob Kinsey to the Township Committee. As one of the many residents who encouraged Bob to run for his first term, I would like to congratulate him on his many accomplishments and thank him for his dedication. I look forward to Bob Kinsey’s election to his second term…

  • Kinsey has helped change Millstone for the better

    Three years ago I wrote a letter to the editor supporting Bob Kinsey in his campaign for Township Committee in Millstone. With Bob up for re-election in a few weeks, I’ve spent the last few weeks reflecting on the changes I have witnessed in how Millstone Township is run as a result of his leadership.…
