Adam Reich was one heck of a school board member and he will be missed on that body. We can only hope he stays involved – and perhaps – sets his sites on future service “opportunities.”. God speed my Mason Brother and fellow Syracuse alumnus!

This is exactly what the Borough of Freehold needs. I fully support this idea and think it should be pursued with great speed and effort on the part of the Mayor and Council, as well as my fellow residents. Freehold Borough has been facing many difficult challenges over the past several years. Our hometown needs [...]

Is this in some way – any way – connected to Freehold happenings? Chelsea Clinto got married last night. At least, Bill Clinton visited Freehold in 1996. Too funny!

Mike: Thank you for posting your intial comments for all to read. It took a great deal of courage and I admire you for that. It was a pleasure supporting you in bringing these things things to public light. People will now see what kinds of horrible and negative things are being shared on that [...]

There is no question that Walmart offers its customers great prices when it comes to selling food. I have visited their Superstores in other states and have noted this fact, first-hand. I do have some personal concerns about their arrival (food section) in Freehold, though. The Freehold area is different from other areas in that [...]

Error correction: I just noticed something above that I need to clarify regarding the News Transcript article I mentioned above. The article was included on the Freehold Voice and my quotes were removed from it. I neglected to term that “censorship,” since the remainder of the article was left intact. There is no doubt that [...]

This is an excellent idea. Very creative and I also hope very effective in making it easier for Freehold residents and visitors to talk about the Borough. I also hope it is helpful to Zubu Forno’s business; by making them the center of all the “where it’s happening” activity in our town.

For the past few months the Rental Property Advisory Committee has been meeting with and listening to the concerns expressed by the leadership of the FLANJ. The committee has been sympathetic to a few of their concerns and have put some recommendations in writing for the Council to consider. The committee only acts in an [...]

This is very sad. I was on the planning board when this project was approved. The church members were thrilled that they were getting a brand new and much more modern church building. I E-mailed Councilman Kevin Kane and recommended he discuss this situation with the World Changers leadership. World Changer teams are coming to [...]

Very sad that you give someone a job and they thank you by coming back to steal your property and murder you. Un;ess they were indentured servants, which we may eventually find out – I can’t imagine any other reason to motivate someone to do this except familiarity and want.

I sincerely hope this “episode” finally puts to rest – for the entire town – exactly where true mean spiritedness lives. Last fall, when I called one of these gentleman out, in this same forum, for what others were advising me was “unsportsmanlike behavior” political shananagans, during last year’s council campaign, he responded with a [...]

I was just on the phone with a Freehold resident, who advised me to read a posting on a local blog condemning the Freehold Borough Neighborhood Pride Committee’s involvement in this recent cleanup effort, because it involved day laborers and their advocates. Unwritten in the rant, but still very apparent was the writer’s distaste for [...]

Wonderful police work! I know it is often frustrating to report suspicious activity in our neighborhoods and then to see “nothing happen” as it continues on, in plain sight. Know that the police are doing their job to get these folks and to make the charges stick.

Seeing these employees dressed in their flowing patina green “Lady Liberty” garb all around the state, each year at this time, brings me a chuckle and puts a smile on my face. I am reminded that it is once again time to open my wallet for “Uncle Sam,” who I am convinced is much wiser [...]

The Historic Preervation Commission, especially HPC member Muriel Smith, does an excellent job with this event – EVERY TIME! I wish them the best of luck with this edition and offer them the continuing support of the Community Information Committee in advertising it throughout the community. For those of you who have never taken one [...]

Thanks for sharing this information on Freehold InJersey. I just want to thank all of the NPC volunteers within my “Job Fair Subcommittee” for pitching in to cover today’s event. Unfortunately, I am unable to be on-site due to some very pressing project deadlines at my new job in Monmouth Junction. I also want to [...]

God Bless Al. His heart is in the right place.

Our town should always be open to discussions with groups such as the Freehold Landlord Association. One must hear all sides of a debate and weigh the information carefully. For me, STILL AND ALWAYS, the bottom line must be the quality of life of all our residents. Freehold Borough is not a second class town [...]

Wishing Jim a long, healthy and enjoyable retirement. Running a business is hard work and doing it for as long as Jim Ballew has is especially challenging. He’s earned his R&R, for sure! That being said, Ballew Jewelers has been a huge part of Freehold Borough’s downtown for all these years. Most of us are [...]

Colleen:

I am new to FIOS, recently coming over from DirectTV. Has Gellman’s show always been taped in Freehold and do you have any details about the taping (where, when and who?) and the FIOS channel and air dates? Sounds interesting.

Thanks,

Marc
