To the Editor: Once again, I had the pleasure of “Coming Home” to attend the Bayonne Rosarians Citywide Communion Breakfast, which was held on Sunday, April 19. This year’s, which is the 27th annual, was hosted by St. Vincent de Paul Church. A 10 a.m. Mass was celebrated by Reverend James D. Manos, Pastor and …
To the Editor: I would like to take this time to thank Joe Dancisin, manager of the Bayonne A&P for years and years. When I asked for help on a Columbus Day Committee fundraiser, he said yes. He is a person who does not hide in the overhead office, but is in the store stocking …
To the Editor: I have been a resident of Bayonne all my life. I cannot believe what I am seeing with my own eyes. Joe Doria leaves his post as mayor. Terrance Malloy comes up to bat. He, I believe, did a pretty good job since everything was dropped into his lap. On Nov. 4, …
To the Editor: I had been wanting to write about my personal interactions with my patients battling for their lives with cancer. Today, seeing my friend, Mark Lucas, handling the act of dying so magnificently teaches me the very essence of the life we all seem to be missing. With the hustle and bustle of …

To the Editor: On March 5, 2009, The Shamrock Society of Bayonne held its annual Kickoff to St. Patrick’s Day event. Through the help of our members and local businesses, this party was a huge success. There is one business in particular that needs to be mentioned in detail. There is no doubt that the …
To the Editor: One of the names mentioned to replace the empty council seat of Chiappone was that of a young fireman, Jason O’Donnell. However, without a doubt or any hesitation, O’Donnell’s former fire chief, Pat Boyle, should be Chiappone’s replacement. Mr. Patrick Boyle is extremely knowledgeable and experienced and has the best interests of …
To the Editor: The Bayonne High School Drama Society recently presented “Beauty and the Beast” to a mesmerized audience. Patrons could not have asked for a finer performance. The cast, each and every one, was wonderful, as evidenced by the justly deserved standing ovation. The actors danced, sang and performed their parts brilliantly, with orchestra …
To the Editor: The DAR Support Our Female Troops Drive was a great success. Once again, the people of Bayonne were extremely supportive and generous. We collected many, many items for our female troops. Special thanks go to Peggy Lanni, director of the Office of Aging, who allowed the DAR to place collection bins in …
