Public funds should not fund private sports leagues
I was stunned by your recent editorial in which the claim is made that "the public’s money should not fund a sport that appears to be a private club for those who have already enjoyed the advantages of years spent learning the sport." What were you thinking before this was written? What then is Little…

E-ZPass works for driver
Anyone who thinks that toll barriers will become obsolete in the near or far future is either naive or just plain dumb. The E-ZPass program has been a real asset to me and other commuters who must use the highways and turnpikes on a daily basis. I wholeheartedly support the program and willingly help fund…

Writer seeks former friend
I grew up in Freehold until eighth grade — I attended St. Rose of Lima School. Then our family moved to Connec-ticut. The person I’m looking for is Ida Van Schoik. We were friends all through eight grades. Her nickname was Bubsy. My maiden name is Marian Miller, and I would love to hear from…

Writer says former official should think about running
I must compliment Herbert Resnick for his most accurate portrayal of Marl-boro in his letter to the News Tran-script of June 5.

Every sign points to Israel being a very dangerous war zone
I read with great interest, and I must admit morbid fascination, the guest column by former Marlboro Mayor Saul G. Hornik, "Israel Is Still a Safe Place" (Your Turn, Greater Media Newspapers, June 19). Congratulations, Mr. Hornik, you made me change my plans for vacation. Now, instead of going to the Berkshires, I’m going to…
