This November, I am supporting a sincerely dedicated member of the Manalapan Township Committee, David Kane, for re-election.

If you are happy in Howell, vote Republican

Lake Topanemus is worthy of preservation
Henry David Thoreau says, “A lake is a landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.” Our Walden Pond, Topanemus, is Freehold’s sanctuary. In one year a public online petition calling for restoration received close to 2,000 signatures. The comments from…
