To the Editor: I have been around this county for many years and will say loud and clear that Juan Perez is the best sheriff this county ever experienced. He is college graduated, a well respected retired state police captain, and is honest and it is certain that integrity is his middle name. I see …
To the Editor: I am writing in regards to the inconsiderate and criminal behavior of certain dog walkers in this city. The condition of the park, but most especially Monument Park and the section which runs from Avenue B to Avenue C, is utterly disgraceful. The amount of dog waste that has accumulated during the …
To the Editor: I am angered by the reluctance of some homeowners to clean the snow from the sidewalks of their property. I am talking about snow that has not been removed four to five days after the storm. Some of the properties that have not been cleaned have realtor signs in front of them …

I am referring to the possible raising of the Bayonne Bridge to allow giant container ships (1,048 feet long) to pass underneath it going to and from Newark Bay container ports. A …
To the Editor: The Cluster Soup Kitchen, which is sponsored by three Catholic parishes – St. Andrew’s, St. Mary’s and Assumption Church, will celebrate the second anniversary of service to the community on Feb. 6, announced by Msgr.

To the Editor: I read today’s “Bayonne Community News” (Jan. 20) and found myself laughing out loud with regard to an article in the “briefs” section on page 46.
