  • Family thanks supporters during time of need

    Words cannot express our heartfelt thanks during this time of loss. I personally have always felt blessed by the wonderful family God has given me, but now it goes far beyond my family — the love and support of my children’s school, including the different teams and after-school programs they are associated with, the love…

  • Get out and vote Nov. 4

    Get out and vote Nov. 4 Get out and vote Nov. 4 Political candidates are making a final push to sway voters in these final days before the Nov. 4 general election.

  • Dates for Freneau hearings anger Aberdeen resident

    I find it incredulous that Aberdeen Township Council’s Freneau hearings regarding the building of 710 units on the borders of three townships were split, (Mirror Lake on Nov. 6, and Horizons at Aberdeen Forge Nov. 13) and furthermore, that they were delayed until after elections. Four seats and the majority of the all-Democratic council are…

  • Senior tells DeSevo to ‘practice what you preach’

    An article in the Oct. 2 edition of a Middletown weekly newspaper gave me quite a chuckle. Mr. Alex DeSevo is claiming the senior citizens in Middletown are very concerned they are overtaxed when compared to the services they receive. Does Mr. DeSevo feel the same about each and every senior citizen? Mr. DeSevo runs…

  • Fink praised by traffic safety advisory committee

    As co-chairpersons of Holmdel Township’s Traffic Safety Advisory Committee (TSAC), we are writing to let residents know how hard their mayor has been working on their behalf to improve traffic and pedestrian safety in Holmdel. He regularly attends our monthly meetings and has been extremely proactive in urging us to do more to improve road…

  • Development will sacrifice nature of communities

    The National Park Service is preparing to grant a 60-year lease contract to Sandy Hook Partners, a private development firm which will dramatically change the use of Sandy Hook and impact the future of the surrounding communities. Under the guise of preserving buildings of questionable historical importance at Fort Hancock, this pending deal will bring…

  • Middletown council urges residents to promote arts

    The Middletown Township Cultural and Arts Council has recently received a great deal of press. Middletown is a large and diverse township. Its residents, like all, are entitled to their opinions; however, I think all Middletown residents can agree on the need to continue to bring together residents, artists and arts organizations in order to…
