Swim club seeking township’s support for new pool
I am a Marlboro resident for over 23 years, a Marlboro Swim Club member for over 20 years and a Marlboro Swim Division board member for over seven years. I was under the impression that the need for a new 25-meter pool and day camp pavilion at the facility was acknowledged and supported by Mayor…

Don’t buy near a drag strip if you don’t like noise
This is in regard to a letter written by Manalapan resident Rob Cher-vin about the “noise problem” at Raceway Park. Personally I am so sick and tired of hearing people complain about the noise level from Raceway Park. Yes, Raceway Park was there first, before all these large housing developments were built. When buyers bought…

Officials respond to complaint with trite explanation
I read the story “Attorney Claims Officers Did Not Act Improperly” in the Sept. 1, 2004 edition of the News Transcript. The allegations of Manalapan residents against the township police are very disturbing and should be fully investigated.
