Dear Editor: Guarding lives is serious life or death business and on-duty lifeguards should not have cell phones and music units. I saw this on at least 4 different days when I was at the local pool. Every summer there are sad stories about drowning. The guards are nice young kids, but full of excuses …
Dear Editor: Thanks for publishing “Windows of Opportunity” (7/1) by Ms. Pope. Reporters must master a lot of information in a short time and the erudite Ms. Pope had to winnow through my voluminous notes.

Dear Editor: At times there have been funeral processions which are accompanied by an especially large contingent of friends of the deceased. It might have been a dignitary, perhaps a community leader. It is not uncommon for a police agency to provide a motorcade escort for such an event. This is done not only out …
Dear Editor: I can not agree with the court system denying North Hudson Regional Fire & Rescue’s appeal of residency for applicants. North Hudson residents’ taxes pay for the fire coverage they receive. Why are we relegated to hiring from residents outside our community? Growing up, many of us dreamt of becoming local public servants …
Dear Editor: On May 10, 2012 the Emerson High School Alumni Association held its 21st Annual Dinner to a packed enthusiastic house. Once again, led by our wonderful, caring, and devoted President Nick “Whizzer” Mastorelli, a four time Hall of Famer who has always given credit to this outstanding committee. We have just heard that …
