To the Editor: On behalf of the Windmill Alliance Inc. and in particular, the staff and volunteers at Highways, we would like to sincerely thank Mrs. Joan Caputo and her family for remembering us and the needs of the many people we serve during their time of grief. We join Joan and her family in …
To the Editor: Are NFL Wilson footballs made here in Ada, Ohio, and are Major League baseballs made in Costa Rica? Hopefully not, but sadly they are. This is wrong and one of the reasons why we have so much unemployment here in our own backyard. Raise the Bayonne Bridge, open the flood gates, and …
To the Editor: On Jan. 12, 2011, we faced our first snowstorm of the new year. Not ending on a great note, statewide, I attempted to go to work Wednesday morning at 4:30 a.m., and it had been snowing all night and pretty heavily. When I hit the streets, I was very impressed. The streets …
To the Editor: As a resident of Bayonne for all of my 56 years, I have never been so disappointed in this fine city. It is obvious that the “so called” snow removal was and still is pathetic. What is going on? Isn’t this seen by anyone who is supposed to be taking care of …

To the Editor: Dear Mr. Virga: We would like to extend to you our sincerest thanks for your recent collection to benefit the Food Pantry at Our Lady of the Assumption Church. Due to the poor economy, we have seen the amount of families coming to us for help in the past year grow on …
To the Editor: To Fran at The Learning Zone: Words can not come close to expressing the gratitude we feel towards you. I can remember the fear we felt the first morning we handed our precious infant over at 7 a.m. Since that first morning we knew we didn’t have to worry, as our son …
To the Editor: While this might not be on the hearts of most people in Hudson County, on New Year’s Eve over 20 Coptic Christians were killed when a car bomb exploded outside of their church in Egypt. Nearly 100 others were injured. The horror isn’t only that they were killed after celebrating church services …
