Dear Editor: While the temperature hovers around the freezing mark during these long cold days of winter, it’s time we all start to “Think Spring.” This spring the entire town will explode with color as more than 10,000 tulips and daffodils unfold into full bloom adding beauty and luster to neighborhoods throughout the community as …
Dear Editor: Hooray for the John Birch Society and the National Rifle Association (NRA) for demanding that our school teachers be armed to protect our children by using their U.S. Constitutional gun rights and armed guards. If the teachers had been routinely armed in the past decades, it’s obvious that the killings and the casualties …

Dear Editor: I strongly urge Gov. Christie to expand Medicaid. Expanding Medicaid, under the Affordable Care Act, will give access to health coverage for thousands of uninsured NJ residents and turn our state’s economy in the right direction. New Jersey taxpayers pay much more to the federal government than they are reimbursed back in benefits. …

Parents were forgoing other necessities, because their children “had to have milk.” Most industries would gladly give up their tax loopholes for that kind of product loyalty. …
Dear Editor: On behalf of Mayor Gonnelli and the Town Council, the Department of Social Services would like to thank everyone who donated groceries, clothing or money to the Secaucus Emergency Food Pantry for Thanksgiving: the parents, students and teachers at Clarendon School; the Ladies Aid Society of St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church; Secaucus Fire Department …
Dear Editor: With Thanksgiving over and Black Friday behind us, it’s time to look into the tradition of the holiday season. With that comes the annual American Lung Association Christmas Seals Campaign; a holiday tradition that has been around for over 100 years. One small stamp can leave the imprint of a lifetime.

Dear Editor: As a resident of Riverside Court, I firmly support busing children from the development to the Huber Street school. Trudging up the hill to the school is certainly not an enjoyable experience for the youngest students, and, more tellingly, on the way they will encounter – hold your breath – Jersey drivers. So …
Dear Editor: I have always believed that the best way in solving a problem is to find some humor when in the process of solving that problem. That being said, permit me to explain to your readers the reaction I received from a letter I wrote to the local papers that I thought might add …
Dear Editor: Safety has always been a main goal of this administration. Young and old, keeping our residents out of harm’s way is paramount. When this administration took office three years ago we made it a point to make children and the safety of our youth a very high priority. All of our parks and …
