Guest Column Bill Goldstein
Guest Column Bill Goldstein Otken land acquisition will benefit all of No. Brunswick Like a rising tide that lifts all boats, the acquisition of the Otken property will benefit all North Brunswick by increasing the desirability of living here, and thereby the value of our homes and commercial property. People want to live and work…

Negotiate fairly, equitably for Otken property
I am saddened to see the Otken family, residing and working in North Brunswick for five generations, is not willing to negotiate with the township to forge an agreement for their land, which is up for sale. Saddened yes, but not discouraged. My optimism stems from the many people I speak with as I walk…

Lack of master plan for town annoys resident
The No. 1 problem facing North Brunswick is traffic congestion and overdevelopment. Now that construction is starting on the Routes 1 and 130 overpass, we’re going to have enough problems.

Otken speaks out about town’s attempts to take farm
Week after week, William Hartko cannot seem to put his pen down. It is too bad everything he writes down does not have one ounce of truth in it. A couple weeks ago, Hartko said both parties will have to live with the judge’s decision [denying North Brunswick’s condemnation of the Otken farm]. It seems…

Schools’ response during tragedy impresses mother
As America responded to the tragedy of Sept. 11, the South Brunswick schools reacted quickly and took care of the children. My child attends Monmouth Junction Elementary, and I want to commend the entire staff on its efforts to handle the situation. Education is a partnership between the parents and the schools. I felt I…

Spaulding presents his proposal for Otken dilemma
The voters of North Brunswick have an opportunity to be heard regarding the possible refiling of papers to condemn the Otken property. The first time the council voted to condemn, they did it at a special meeting without any public notice or input. But because of the judge’s recent ruling, they have to start all…
