To the Editor: I wanted to sincerely express our appreciation to Preschool Play and Bishop Donato of St. Henry’s Church. I am writing this letter to the community to help you understand our situation and that of many other parents of children with severe food allergies in Bayonne. My child’s allergies (peanuts and all tree …
To the Editor: Every day I walk along Broadway and Avenue C in the morning. Broadway has vastly improved on cleanliness, mainly because there are crews out there cleaning up the mess that was left by litterbugs. Avenue C is a different story. From 26th Street to downtown is a garbage disaster. Bottles, cans, and …
To the Editor: Bayonne voters should decide on school-board members. Mayor Smith should get behind this. The people want open elections. The city council members also should get behind this. In 1776 there was a petition signed—the Declaration of Independence. The idea behind this petition was to stop a one-man rule. So much power leads …
To the Editor: On September 14 the Ray Greaves Civic Association hosted the Third Annual Jeffrey T. Farley Kids Sportsfest at Stephen R. Gregg’s Hudson County Park. The event was once again very successful, with hundreds of children participating as we paid homage and respect to the memory of Jeffrey T. for all his selfless …
To the Editor: Over the many years I have lived in Bayonne I learned that no one, anywhere, could possibly be more generous and kind than our citizens. I have gotten to know many of the civic, veteran and other organizations who have at least one annual fundraiser in order to raise funds used to …
To the Editor: I find it interesting that Mr. Donovan, in response to Mrs. La Pelusa’s letter, was less concerned about her opinion but chose this as a good opportunity to disparage her husband. I only know Gary LaPelusa as an honest guy. Remember, there are two sides to every story, without the public knowing …
To the Editor: If you have ever walked along the main avenues in Bayonne, or driven along the main streets and up and down the side streets you would probably be saying to yourself, “what a mess this town has become.” People who were born and raised in Bayonne see the difference in how dirty …
To the Editor: This is in response to Hank Donovan’s letter of last week’s Bayonne Community News. My wife has her own mind and is very smart and insightful. I don’t need to send messages through her and I am not afraid to write my own letter. Hank Donovan is obviously a fan of the …
To the Editor: Over the last fifteen years, Bayonne has only seen tax increases. Property taxes are still high and many residents have serious questions about whether they are getting what they are paying for. When taxes are increased, the quality of the city tends to increase as well, but Bayonne has not seen anything …
To the Editor: Litter may not be the most dramatic or exciting of the many problems that threaten the quality of our environment, but it is a problem which affects everyone in our community. Litterbugs can be found among people of every age, sex, race, and ethnic origin, at every level of society, and in …
