To the Editor: What was once a quiet pair of deer has grown to nine here on Farmingdale Road. Can't the town do something? All 20 of my hostas were reduced to sticks last year. I have some small roses too but they are in chicken wire cages. There must be something that can be done with these animals who are destroying the outside of my property. Albert Jablonski

To the Editor: In response to "Veteran Questions Frelinghuysen's Voting Record" dated Sept. 28, 2012 This issue again? I am always amused that partisan opponents of our Congressman, Rodney Frelinghuysen, think they can curry favor with the voters by attacking a fellow veteran with a distinguished record of service. Sure, anyone can take a few votes out of context in a career filled with thousands of votes. But the truth of the matter is that I know of no other veteran who thinks Mr. Frelinghuysen doesn’t care about veterans or does them any ill. In fact, talk to any of the veterans leaders in this area and they will tell you they are proud to stand alongside Frelinghuysen. Actually, Mr. Foley’s attacks are not amusing. They are a sad …

To the Editor: I attended a town hall meeting on Saturday, June 23, 2012, at the Roseland Municipal Building that was conducted by Rodney Frelinghuysen, the Congressman representing NJ’s 11th district. As a veteran who served this country, I have a special interest in understanding how and why our representatives vote on issues of war, the military, and veterans’ affairs. I asked Congressman Frelinghuysen three questions about his voting record: Congressman Frelinghuysen never answered the first question. With respect to the second two, he replied as follows: “Veterans should never be second class citizens. I’ve always voted to support health care and job training for veterans.” When asked the third question, the Congressman actually …

Reader says it is "a disgrace" that another flooding study has to occur before a solution to flooding in the Passaic River Basin is proposed.
In reading a recent article published on NorthJersey.com regarding the flooding study for the Passaic River Basin, this response is being written of behalf of all the people who have had to endure the hardships for countless and unnecessary years. First, it is a disgrace to this nation, and even more to the people, to be told yet another new study is being done at “lighting speed” at an additional cost of $15 million. We ask this: do they not have enough studies from the past 90 years to get the job done? Or do they just enjoy wasting money and time? Are we afraid of getting to the truth and then getting our hands dirty to get the job done? This is not rocket science. Or is it? Is it okay to rebuild other lands at “lighting speed” and not …

Envision this scene: a student approaches his middle school principal and pours out a tale of being harassed verbally, as well as assaulted physically, by classmates who have been bullying him for months. The principal listens sympathetically, then offers a prospective solution: I would certainly understand, he tells the boy, if you retaliated against the bullies with physical force. If this advice sounds ridiculous to you – like something out of a Saturday Night Live skit or a comedy spoofing adolescent life – think again. It’s what allegedly happened to a student in New Jersey who was bullied for most of his middle school years and went to the school principal seeking help. That principal, now retired, may have been well-intentioned in …
