  • Hockey players deserve chance to enjoy high school experience

    This letter is in response to the June 5, 2002 Greater Media Newspapers editorial "Public School Not A Place for Private Club Sports."

  • More information needed on impact of law

    I have just finished reading the lengthy article on Marlboro’s ordinance on cell phone use while driving and missed mention of one thing.

    When the Manalapan Township Committee passed a downzoning law on May 22, I sat in disbelief as the section dealing with new farmland subdivision/home-building was outlined in such a way that the remaining farmers will refuse to utilize the option. Instead of preservation, the result will be the death of farming in Manalapan and the…

    Public school not a place for private club sports A decision by the Freehold Regional High School District Board of Education to decline to start an interscholastic ice hockey program this fall made sense.
