  • Wishbows grateful for community support

    On Jan. 23, the Allentown High School (AHS) community hosted a fundraiser at the school for our daughter, Rebecca, who was diagnosed with leukemia last fall. She is currently a junior at the high school and has been very active for the past three years at AHS. The fundraiser was called “A Night Out for…

  • Energy wasted on cheap shots should be put to better use

    Common sense at last – in response to Robert Cheff’s comments on the issues surrounding the middle school. Our Board of Education should be looking further down the road and being a little more fiscally responsible for the taxpayers’ money. The children are important, but the taxpayers are the ones who can make it happen…

  • Let a native son live in peace on family land

    I probably have no right to an opinion in this matter, having left Millstone Township more than 30 years ago, but I have never let my right stop me before, so why start now? I was raised in Clarksburg, went to school in Millstone Township and then Allentown. I got married and settled down in…

  • Parent disapproves of Gay/Straight Alliance Club at AHS

    I’m writing in response to the article appearing in the Jan. 25, 2007, issue of the Examiner announcing the formation of the Gay/Straight Alliance Club within Allentown High School and the subsequent editorial praising same. I am not proud to say that like most political moderates and conservatives who make up the majority of Americans,…

  • Greg Bean

    Coda The happiest man in all Monmouth County It doesn’t take a clairvoyant to figure out that Victor Scudiery, chairman of the Monmouth County Democratic Party, is one happy camper these days. Usually, a guy like Scudiery would have his hands full this time of year, trying to figure out how to beat the Republicans…

  • AHS coach offers thanks for special night

    The Allentown High School (AHS) Lady Redbirds Basketball Team would like to thank those who helped raise more than $9,500 when we honored Becca Wishbow at our Jan. 23 home game vs. Lawrence. We appreciate the support of the AHS staff including Athletic Director Brian Irwin and Vice Principal Connie Embley. We also appreciate the…

  • Individual’s opinion not formed by his home’s location

    I am upset about how the Examiner individually singled me out in last week’s editorial (Feb. 22) in the second paragraph, and then proceeded to make it look like Four Seasons funds candidates for public office. I am not a public official. There are many people who have spoken out in favor of the new…

  • Resident frustrated at lack of leadership

    Readers of the Examiner had a lot to digest in last week’s issue when it comes to the issue of educating our children. Unfortunately, the news wasn’t at all good. Instead of local public policy makers coming together to do what is best for the education of our children, residents of Upper Freehold Township were…

  • Residents represent only their own personal views

    I have noted that when the Examiner refers to any member of this development, he or she is invariably identified as “a resident of Four Seasons” active adult community. When residents from other parts of the township are mentioned in an article, their locations or developments do not become a permanent attachment to their names.…
