  • An explanation is needed

    I am appalled that our mayor and Township Council approved putting a concrete recycling plant just a bit away from the new Kiddie Academy Day Care Center being built on Tennent Road in Marlboro. Longtime neighbors here have not been able to get an explanation from township officials about this bonehead decision. But parents of…

  • Mayor deserved honor

    I was dismayed to read a letter in the July 19 issue of the News Transcript about the light to be put in on Union Hill Road, Manalapan. In the many years I know Stuart Moskovitz, I’ve found him to be a dedicated and hard worker for the people he serves. I know he wanted…

  • A fond farewell to friends

    I want to take this opportunity to say goodbye to all the members and friends I have made at the Marlboro Jewish Center. After 23 years of devoted service as the business administrator, working with four rabbis and 13 presidents, the decision to resign was a difficult one for me. I want to say thank…

    Fall’s American Heart Walk will raise awareness of survival chain If a coworker, friend or family member collapsed in front of you, unresponsive and not breathing, would you know what to do? Would you know to call 911 immediately? Could you perform CPR? Is there an automated external defibrillator (AED) immediately available? As chairman of…

  • Resident is around to see the light, and proud of it

    If Sy Smolin had asked me my age, I would have told him. Instead, he is guilty of violating my privacy. Age is only a number. I am very proud of my accomplishments. It’s the brain that counts — not the age. By stating that he is a member of the board of trustees of…
