Former committeeman’s brother responds to letter
I read Bruce Novozinsky’s letter concerning Upper Freehold Committeeman Charles Faber and was struck by the writer’s perversing negative statements. The statement that Charlie made about "the only thing growing here now is houses" is true — and Mr. Novozinsky moved into one. He has moved to Upper Freehold Township in order to enjoy the…

6-acre zoning should be building block for New Jersey
6-acre zoning should be building block for New Jersey Planning and the purchase of land using tax dollars was never the answer to saving open space or from keeping the state of New Jersey from sinking below the waters of overdevelopment.

Resident: Defeat of referendum shortsighted

Reader comments on story about Upper Freehold committeeman
I read with interest the article that saluted Charles Faber in his devotion to Upper Freehold since 1944. Mr. Faber and countless others in the farming community built Upper Freehold/Allentown.
