JCC Rockland was thankful to get power at 9am this morning and the campus is brimming with members young and old, enjoying coffee, the fitness center and internet service. The members we spoke to were thrilled that the Campus was open and thanked the very kind staff. Especially Bonnie Wind, Adult Services Director and Donna and Sue at the Reception desk!
After Sandy, JCC Rockland accommodates its Members

Why not cut out the middle man and just send the money directly to the religious schools.

Mr. Pointing says that an issues conference is unusual. The unusual step is called for because this…Read More project is highly unusual; it is unprecedented. This French-owned water company wants to implement its pet technology at our expense - it makes sense for the company because the project makes lots of money. There is information available that calls into question the "definitive" studies carried out by the water company. Of course they found that their technology was the best option - what a surprise! They have not made the case that they carried out a disinterested examination of the issues in the public interest. Yes there are still issues. Also, stop threatening us with increased costs from delay. First, it does not make sense and second, you are trying to bully us into accepting your proposal. That is one more sign that something is wrong in your proposal.

An issues conference will be a wast of time and money. So many ' issues ' have been pulled out of…Read More thin air. The people who organized against the plant will just keep saying the same thing. No amount of info will be enough, no answer will be accepted. The issues conference will be a circus of endless questions, ideas, and demands. Haverstraw bay reclassified as drinking water will better protect it, provide an endless supply of water and finally help end the stereotype of the Hudson being polluted

There were no open meetings. I attended the April meeting and Mr. Lettre was directed by the Town…Read More Board to return with more precise estimates and to include options for other upgrades. I have attended every meeting of the Town Board since that time and Mr. Lettre never returned in an open meeting.
Mr. Borelli indicated that Mr. Lettre had addressed his concerns directly and privately.
According to the Open Meetings Law, the deliberations of the Town Board are to be open and visible to the public. Private individual meetings or communications with members of the Town Board so as to avoid open deliberations flouts the intent of the Open Meetings Law.
Mr. Gromack's statement of other meetings is inaccurate and, since it was specifically in response to a question about open meetings, dishonest.
Mr. Borelli, shame on you for accepting a private communication and not standing by your guidance to Mr. Lettre that he was to come back to an open meeting of the Town Board.

Thanks for sharing, Grace! Your thoughts on their noise?

The traffic from the nearby Palisades Parkway is more of a noise nuisance than the cicada chorus.…Read More (We have triple-paned windows because of it.)
There is something almost musical about the hum of the cicadas. Of course, it may bother me more if I lived in the "affected area" and heard it constantly. Upon entering this nearby neighborhood, the sound crescendos. And yet, it can't be heard a couple of streets away.
The drone of locusts is more bothersome than these 17 year cicadas.
