Broadcasts open window on local officials
      Ihave been a resident of Manalapan for over six years and this is the second letter I am writing concerning the way this township conducts its business. We as residents are very fortunate to now have available to us the ability through Channel 77 to watch how our township government works. This, however, has proven to be a doubleedged sword.

Board members' departure not due to audit
      Allow me to respond and clarify certain comments noted in the Sept. 6 News Transcript ("Volunteers, Town Tangle Over Grant Applications") concerning the Manalapan symphony and the arts council. The article stated that Dr. Roger Hicks and I resigned from the symphony board because the township proposed to do an audit of money spent by the symphony.

Resident disappointed with coverage about veterans memorial
      Iam so disappointed that your coverage of the Marlboro memorial, which was dedicated on Sept. 3, stopped where it did. I think it was wonderful that the group of volunteers who made the gardens absolutely beautiful should have been recognized. They did a spectacular job and the gardens are lovely, comforting and peaceful.

Fat no more: A way for New Jersey to trim its waist

Let Jersey Freeze owner sell and enjoy his future
      Iread the article on the Jersey Freeze end. I live two blocks from this place now for 17 years. It seems to me that people do not like some things to end. This man, Bruce Blackmore, it sounds like he wants to sell a business he owns and retire. Why not? Is he not allowed to because no one wants him to?

Resident says he will take a new direction in Marlboro
      I've made some mistakes but none as big as the vote I cast for Robert Kleinberg in the last election. I met Kleinberg at a meeting at my neighbor's house. We organized to combat the Elite Fitness application to build an enormous health club on Vanderburg Road. Kleinberg gave his views on how to defeat the application and so my first impression was positive.

Resident likes job Mayor Kleinberg has done for town
      As a resident of Marlboro for the past 29 years, I have seen four mayors serve the town. I can honestly say that none served Marlboro with more passion and commitment than Robert Kleinberg. He took office at a time when political corruption was commonplace in our government and took on the responsibility of ridding our town of that practice.

Group matches those who are willing to donate organs
      The generosity of live organ donors like Harry Warren is remarkable ("Organ Donation Forges a Bond of Friendship," News Transcript, July 11, 2007). But we wouldn't need many live organ donors if Americans weren't burying or cremating 20,000 transplantable organs every year.
