May 26, 2007. The Memorial Day weekend is a time to reflect and honor our soldiers present and past. On November 19, 2005, one of Kearny's residents serving in Iraq lost his life as a result of a road side bomb in Baiji, Iraq. Army Staff Sgt. Edward Karolasz gave the ultimate sacrifice for his country. On this Memorial Day weekend, we stop to reflect and give thanks for all that Army Staff Sgt. Edward Karolasz and others have done on behalf of our country. Our thoughts also go out to the the Karolasz family and friends.

May 30, 2007. The New Jersey Public Advocate, Ronald K. Chen, has issued an updated report on Eminent Domain abuse in New Jersey. In a 34 page report the Public Advocate outlines abuses in a number of cases in New Jersey. Although Chen does not specifically mention the Amaral and Adler matters both presently on Appeal from a decision of Superior Court Judge Maurice J. Gallipoli, the arguments raised by Amaral and Adler in their appeal including their complaint that their properties are not blighted and that the Superior Court is simply rubber stamping decisions made by the Harrison Redevelopment Board without allowing for discovery in the case are reviewed by Chen.
July 7, 2007. The Jersey Journal and its local West Hudson paper, the Kearny Journal, reported that former Harrison Superintendent of Public Works, William "Billy" Tansky pled guilty to taking over $100,000 in quarters from town parking meters. KOTW reported the same story (see below).
West Hudson's oldest and widely read newspaper, the Observer, however has failed to publish a story on Tansky's plea. Maybe there will be a story in next week's newspaper. The plea occurred over two weeks ago so if the article isn't published this week the story may be a little dated.
February 5, 2008. Today is Super Tuesday, for the first time New Jersey Voters have an opportunity to influence the Presidential Election by casting their votes for either a Democratic or a Republican Candidate. Non-affiliated voters can also vote by designating either that they are a Democrat or Republican at the poll location. However, a voter who previously designated a party cannot switch parties today.
Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
July 20, 2007. As we previously noted, the Observer did not publish a story on the Tansky plea. It is not clear why the Observer failed to carry the story.
