To the Editor: We used to live in a rent controlled building. Everyone in the building had bedbugs. Five visits by the exterminator provided by the landlord only made the situation worse. We had to grease up the whole floor with cooking oil so that the bugs couldn’t bite us in bed. Private exterminators told …
To the Editor: On Behalf of Bayonne School Board Choice, I want to thank the voters of Bayonne for overwhelmingly voting to enact an elected school board.

To the Editor: After Sister Mary Rose taught me to read back in the 1940’s I religiously scoured the high school sports section in the newspaper.
