To the Editor: It’s that time again when we tend to hear discussions about New Year’s resolutions. Eating healthier, going to the gym, cutting back on sweets. Resolutions are passionately set, but as winter drags on, we slowly fall off the wagon. Suddenly the gym is less crowded and the lines for fast food are …

To the Editor: On January 1, St. Mary, Star of the Sea and St. Andrew the Apostle will become known as Blessed Miriam Teresa Demjanovich Parish. The Bayonne Community News has published several times that “a decision about which church of the two would close has not been announced.” The reason there has been no …
To the Editor: This town is filled with overly zealous and incompetent ticket writers. Within the past two months, I have received two citations, one for parking next to the construction fence at 43rd and Broadway, which was in the process of being installed and completed the day I was parked there, during a rain …
To the Editor: A very big thank you to Officer Billy Kobryn who graciously paid the bill for the Korean War Veteran’s of Hudson County gathering at the downtown diner this past Veteran’s Day following our ceremonies in Jersey City and Bayonne.

Letter to the Editor: Why do the local politicians use the media rather than speaking directly to the BOE about the $2.9 million or to the teachers about the lack of a contract? Why do administrators tend to emphasize materialistic improvements (lights, floors, chromebooks, etc) and seem to never mention the expertise of the faculty? …
To the Editor: It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas all around the town! Even more so thanks to the residents who take the time and extend the effort to decorate their homes so beautifully. For some, the many lights are surely an added expense too. Even the simplest decorations are beautiful and appreciated, …
