Gerald R. Ford, who picked up the pieces of Richard Nixon's scandal-shattered White House as the 38th and only unelected president in America's history, has died, his wife, Betty, said Tuesday. He was 93.

Could we each buy at least one thing at Sears this year?

How does Sears treat its employees who are called up for military duty?   By law, they are required to hold their jobs open and available, but nothing more.  Usually, people take a big pay cut and lose benefits as a result of being called up...

Sears is voluntarily paying the difference in salaries and maintaining all benefits, including medical insurance and bonus programs, for all called up reservist employees for up to two years.

I submit that Sears is an exemplary corporate citizen and should be recognized for its contribution.

Suggest we all shop at Sears, and be sure to find a manager to tell them why we are there so the company gets the positive reinforcement it well deserves.

We need your attendance at the Piscataway Township Council meeting, Tuesday evening (12/19).

The second reading is scheduled and the council will vote on ordinances allowing billboards and to amend cell phone tower regulations.

The odor of "Pay to Play" may be wafting through these ordinances. Lift the lid off the pot and you may learn that properties owned by friends and huge contributors to the Democrat party may be those benefiting the most by the passing of these ordinances.
