To the Editor: I recently read about the decision to declare the Best Foods site in Bayonne as a redevelopment zone. Now the developer of this project, Cameron Group, wants to put in warehouse, light industrial and possible retail. When I saw retail, I wondered why they would put retail into the site. We have …
To the Editor: To whom it may concern: I find it hypocritical that Mr. LaPelusa can sit there and write letters about 240 acres of land in which he voted to bond into oblivion. Now Mr. LaPelusa doesn’t want to pay the bills. I’m sure Mr. LaPelusa doesn’t order pizza, and then cry when the …
To the Editor: I’ve come to believe that someone on Grove Place or 28th Street between Broadway and Avenue C is purposely poisoning the stray cats that live here. On July 12, our two most friendly cats, who’ve been here since kittens, went missing. My husband and I thought this so strange since they had …
To the Editor: I had the good fortune of meeting Jackie George, Esquire, tour coordinator, as well as Glen Flora, commander and founder of the Joyce-Herbert V.F.W. Post 226 Veterans Museum, located at 16 West Ninth Street, some time ago. During our discussions, I was invited to visit the Veterans’ Museum, which they and Senior …
To the Editor: What irony. There was one letter two weeks ago to the Bayonne Community News giving kudos for fighting to bring Bayonne back. Back to where? Lowering our taxes, maybe? I’d laugh if it wasn’t so tragic. But then there was another letter giving us the facts on just what rotten shape Bayonne …
To the Editor: On July 23, the 50/50 Debs – Bayonne’s first women’s softball team – attended a reunion at Gorman’s Field. Many thanks to Pete Amadeo, along with two current women’s teams, set to play a game that night, for their presentation of gifts which included an engraved softball, a rose and a certificate …
To the Editor: The Hudson County Animal League is honored to project manage the City of Bayonne’s Trap, Neuter, Return (TNR) pilot program’s phase one, which will spay or neuter about 250 feral cats in the downtown section of the city between Sept. 2012 and Sept. 2013. It promises to improve quality of life for …
To the Editor: I would like to personally thank Mayor Mark Smith and Councilman Jason O’Donnell for saving Washington Community School summer camp at the 11th hour. This camp has been a wonderful experience for many years for all the children involved and, earlier in the year, we were told that it would no longer …
To the Editor: I recently received a letter from Liberty Board of Realtors that praises Mayor Smith and the Bayonne City Council for their efforts in amending rent control, or as Executive VP Joseph W. Hottendorf quotes, the city’s “onerous rent control system.” Democrat leaders throughout the years have prided themselves in providing the public …
To the Editor: It’s that time of year again – Ramadan! On July 19, millions of Muslims around the globe celebrated the start of Ramadan, the ninth month of the Hijri (Islamic lunar) calendar. While the nightly prayers began on Thursday evening, the actual fasting of Ramadan began on Thursday morning immediately after dawn. Ramadan …
