  • Project Graduation’s success is due to its many supporters

    Project Graduation 2001 was a success. More than 340 of the South Brunswick High School (SBHS) graduates attended this year’s Project Graduation outing to The Falls from 11:30 p.m. to 4:30 a.m. graduation night, June 21. Several teachers joined the graduates, as well, to spend some time with the students they had come to know…

  • No. Brunswick resident rallies in support of councilwoman

    As I sat in the audience at last week’s Township Council meeting, I was horrified and disgusted as I watched and listened to Marion Costanza, a Democratic representative who ran for Township Council, attack Councilwoman Maureen Little. I was stunned when she went after SHARE’s Care-To-Walk that Little co-chairs with her good friend Evelyn Smirnow,…

  • Councilwoman’s daughter comes to her defense

    Politics can be a game of Russian roulette that is played between the good guys and the bad. This was apparent to me on July 2 at the Township Council meeting.

Her remarks that Councilwoman Maureen Little was just using the office for political gain have generated a firestorm of criticism from friends and opponents alike. Costanza said the office would…

  • Resident feels ‘profiling’ unnecessary in media

    On the issue of racial profiling we are all guilty at some point. One unfortunate example of this, I think, is a tendency in the Sentinel and other newspapers to mention (selectively) the race of various perpetrators as if it were particularly relevant to the description of some crime. Consider the report of the recent…

  • Homeowners ask drivers to slow down

    My wife and I have been North Brunswick residents for two years. Why is it people must drive so fast on the local roads? North Brunswick has three main roads, which run through town, Route 1, Route 130 and Route 27. These roads all have high speed limits; there is no reason that people need…
