To the Editor: My autistic spectrum children, David and Patrick, age 12, have enjoyed a rich and rewarding experience during the past seven years. That experience has been karate. Focus, self-discipline, coordination, exercise, self-defense, values—these have been the curriculum in their course of karate study. Teaching special needs children, not for just one class, or …
To the Editor: A big debate around Bayonne is whether the deal with United Water was beneficial or hurtful to the people of this city. First, I will look at some figures from the deal, and after looking at the figures, you will clearly see what I see. In July of 2012, the BMUA reached …

During just about each of these years, his coaching of the varsity tennis team led to county championships. All of …
To the Editor: When man-of-the-people Jimmy Davis sends Emperor Mark Smith packing out of City Hall, one of the first things he’ll do is convert the appointed Board of Education into an elected body.

To the Editor: I think that some important facts should be granted some intense scrutiny before casting your vote in the upcoming runoff election. First, the Davis team’s constant mantra of 47 family members on the payroll. This one is the epitome of fuzzy math gone crazy. Does anyone take into consideration these mitigating circumstances …
