  • Fat no more: A way for New Jersey to trim its waist

    New Jersey is getting fatter. Obesity rates in our state rose yet again in a new report released Aug. 27 by the Trust for America’s Health (www.healthyamericans.org). It appears that Garden Staters are choosing the Philadelphia cheese steak over the Jersey tomato more often than not. And when it comes to physical activity, we are…

  • Let Jersey Freeze owner sell and enjoy his future

    Iread the article on the Jersey Freeze end. I live two blocks from this place now for 17 years. It seems to me that people do not like some things to end. This man, Bruce Blackmore, it sounds like he wants to sell a business he owns and retire. Why not? Is he not allowed…

  • Resident says he will take a new direction in Marlboro

    I’ve made some mistakes but none as big as the vote I cast for Robert Kleinberg in the last election. I met Kleinberg at a meeting at my neighbor’s house. We organized to combat the Elite Fitness application to build an enormous health club on Vanderburg Road. Kleinberg gave his views on how to defeat…

  • Resident likes job Mayor Kleinberg has done for town

    As a resident of Marlboro for the past 29 years, I have seen four mayors serve the town. I can honestly say that none served Marlboro with more passion and commitment than Robert Kleinberg. He took office at a time when political corruption was commonplace in our government and took on the responsibility of ridding…

  • Group matches those who are willing to donate organs

    The generosity of live organ donors like Harry Warren is remarkable (“Organ Donation Forges a Bond of Friendship,” News Transcript, July 11, 2007). But we wouldn’t need many live organ donors if Americans weren’t burying or cremating 20,000 transplantable organs every year. There is another good way to put a big dent in the organ…

  • Former conductor disappointed in officials

    Since my resignation as the Manalapan Battleground Symphony conductor, I have watched with great interest and concern the spin that the Manalapan Township Committee has created regarding the symphony, and my leaving the position I held with great joy for the past seven years. I truly appreciate the support from the community for the symphony…

  • Writer has several suggestions to preserve state’s open space

    Iam always amused by the frequent letters promoting the preservation of open space. Apparently due to the abundance of open space between such writers’ ears, they don’t realize that their collective actions are the root cause of the “problem” they seek to “remedy.” Some inconvenient truths: The spaces their houses occupy were once open space.…

  • Immediate attention must be paid to dangerous Manalapan location

    It’s enough already! People in Manalapan are now risking their lives to get a bagel or coffee. The entrance and exits of the Yorktowne Shopping Center and the Gordons Corner Shopping Center must be shut down right now until a safe plan is developed so that no more people are hurt in car accidents. This…

  • Taxpayers are taking a hit for all this political bickering

    Ihave not been a fan of Manalapan’s dysfunctional government for some time, but now it has sunk to new depths that are making me poorer and angrier. When the level of political discourse in town is determined by two mercenaries with egos the size of Wyoming, whose sole purpose is to climb over as many…
