To the Editor: I’m writing to thank the woman I met at TJ Maxx last week. I was shopping for pajamas and books for a Pajama Drive that All Saints Catholic Academy is doing to help needy children. I stopped to talk to someone about the drive and a woman overheard what we were talking …
To the Editor: Dear Polish-Americans: We all had a wonderful time marching in the General Casimir Pulaski Memorial Day Parade this past Oct. 2 with our Bayonne contingency and enjoyed free transportation to New York City and a great party back home at the Polish Cultural Center. I thank you for your participation and support. …
To the Editor: Have we learned our lesson yet? Campaigning politicians need to always appear as if “we support the people.” That is until they get elected.

To the Editor: I recently met the two New Jersey Assembly candidates that are running against the current incumbents of Jason O’Donnell and Harold Mainor in the 31st District. They are Michael Alonso and Daniel Beckelman. These are two new, young fresh faces on the scene here that work in the private sector with some …
To the Editor: Being a registered voter in Bayonne always meant something important to me. That meant maybe at the polls my voice could be heard by voting for the person I thought would be best for the job. Well, I must say I am ashamed of the people that I voted for in 2010. …
