  • Deadbeat dads steal future

    A thief lurks amongst us. His weapons are stealth, immorality and a penchant for covering his tracks. He is a thief, as culpable as any other, perhaps worse because his victims are his children. He steals from them anyway. Unswerving in his defiance of numerous court orders to support them, he takes from them what…

  • Your Turn Happy ending to a lost-dog story

    On the evening of Sept. 20, I was out in the yard with our dog, Sadie, when a large branch crashed onto our neighbor’s metal shed. The noise scared our timid Sadie, and she took off running. As she ran through some of the streets behind our home, other people, dogs and noises scared her…

  • Grateful to assemblyman for his stand on toll removal

    Assemblyman Patrick Diegnan’s letter to the editor (“State Should Commit to Removal of Parkway Tolls,” Sentinel, Sept. 23) is right on target. It’s refreshing to see an elected official take such a positive position designed to help the citizens of New Jersey instead of special-interest groups. Tolls are the epitome of waste and mismanagement because…

  • Commends Deinzer for support of Milltown youth

    Having been involved in youth baseball for the past five years, I have come to know Milltown Councilman William Deinzer quite well. He has been most helpful in starting the Milltown Little League’s fall baseball program and in starting the U10, U12 and U13 Milltown Maulers baseball programs. Without Councilman Deinzer’s support, it would have…

  • Efforts of many worked to curtail flood damage

    I am a resident on Railroad Avenue in Helmetta, and my house was one of the many that flooded on Sept. 29. I wanted to send a quick note and thank everyone involved in fixing the problems we had at that time. I especially thank the workers of Allstate Power Vac Co., Rahway, for their…

  • Kulp deserves praise for service to community, party

    A good leader inspires people to have confidence in them; a great leader inspires people to have confidence in themselves. These words speak volumes about the leadership of the former East Brunswick Republican chairman, Rod Kulp. For many years, Rod Kulp led the East Brunswick Republican Party, not because there was something good in it…

  • What’s the real deal on the Golden Triangle deal?

    I have many serious questions with the so-called Golden Triangle deal. How can East Brunswick negotiate this deal from a position of power when the township has already included $4 million from this deal into its budget? That’s unheard of. If I were to sell my house and take a certain amount of dollars from…
