  • Not all downtown trash is commercial

    While I am quite sensitive to the plight of the homeowners in Red Bank having problems with the garbage collection issue, I feel that there were some inaccuracies in the story in The Hub on page 12 of the Jan. 18 edition. To begin with, the fact that you pictured our store, Earth Spirit New…

  • Sending the wrong message

    The little hair left on top of my head was made to stand on end as a result of embarrassingly poor sportsmanship displayed by parents of a neighboring town’s team at my 13 year-old’s Little Silver basketball game this past Saturday, Feb. 2. I was enjoying watching the close match between two good teams until…

  • Correction

    The e-mail address for the Shore Institute of the Contem-porary Arts was incorrect in the Zest of Jan. 25. The correct e-mail to use for inquiries about studio space in the proposed contemporary arts center is [email protected].

  • Guest Column John Janelli ‘Terrorist’ label doesn’t fit for duck hunters

    Guest Column John Janelli ‘Terrorist’ label doesn’t fit for duck hunters I am a licensed New Jersey waterfowl hunter and taxidermist.

During its tenure, the NJMSC has: •…

A matter of concern? Apparently not among New Jersey legislators. For nearly a year, New Jerseyans have endured an appointed governor that…

    Guest Column Brian Unger Sandy Hook needs room to breathe The headline for Russel Wilson’s Jan. 2 Your Turn guest column was, "Partnership will breathe life into Fort Hancock." But what many of us are worried about is, if the Sandy Hook Partners is allowed to breathe such a strong dose of economic development into…

  • Relatives feel Red Bank discriminatory to seniors

    We are writing regarding the proposed appeal of the Superior Court decision granting permission to Navesink House to build an addition on the abutting Gables property. We feel very strongly that this decision should be upheld. We are very familiar with Navesink House because both of our mothers are residents there. One of them is…

  • Better outreach needed on development at Sandy Hook

    An outfit as large and generally as fine as the National Park Service should be able to do a better job of getting important information about proposed development at Sandy Hook out to the public. The Park Service plans to enter a 60-year agreement as early as this summer with Sandy Hook Partners, LLC, to…
