To the Editor: Following last year’s municipal election, I made it a point to refrain from commenting on public affairs in Bayonne because I felt that our new mayor should be afforded the time and courtesy needed to get acclimated to the job without an atmosphere of negativity and opposition. I care about our city …

To the Editor: The Community Cancer Support Group would like to extend a sincere thank you to everyone who came together to make our toy and gift drive a success.

To the Editor: On January 1, my beloved mother, Ann Kinsley, a lifelong resident of Bayonne, passed away very unexpectedly. As you can imagine, we were and still are, in shock. I am writing this letter to thank the amazing people who were there for me during this very difficult time. First, thank you to …
Letter to the Editor: Since the public is not privy to the inner workings of either the mayor’s office or the board of education, the community must depend on your newspaper to report the latest information.

To the Editor: I want to give a special thank you to one of Bayonne Medical Center’s social workers, Mrs. Helaine Marnell, who had handled a situation with placement for my mom. I will tell you I have been in this hospital myself recently and have not seen anyone with as much concern to help, …
To the Editor: Here we are, at the beginning of a new year: A new mayor, full slate of council members, and a new freeholder. Bayonne, the city that most people have very fond memories of, is on a cusp. I foresee 2015 as the year of development and change across many levels. There will …
To the Editor: I wanted to thank the man who found my iPhone in Stop & Shop on December 27 and called my house, but I misunderstood the arrangement to get my phone back. If you could contact me at (201) 273-8249 to go over the return of my phone, I would show my appreciation …
To the Editor: I write to express my full support for keeping the PATH (Port Authority Trans-Hudson) service running on a 24-hour schedule, seven days a week. The recent proposal by a special bi-state panel to reduce PATH services is not a workable plan. In fact, instead of reducing services we should be increasing services …
