Does anyone know of any places offering shelter or relief to those without power. Especially since it seems many will be without for a while?
Eric Brown November 1, 2012 at 12:54 am
Does anybody know if the palisades mall is open? And if route 45 is closed then how is the 91 bus getting through? And how do I through public transportation get to pine valley nursing home without calling a Taxi?
Robin Traum (Editor) November 1, 2012 at 01:17 am
Kelly,
Currently the only operating shelter in the county is the field house at Rockland Community College. It is pet friendly and the Red Cross is providing meals and cots. If you suffered damages from the storm, the county wants to know about it. Submit pictures of damages caused by Hurricane Sandy. Please include location/date/time/contact info. Send to rocklanddamages@gmail.com. Robin

Will there be dry ice distribution again tomorrow at Provident Bank Stadium? The O and R site does not give any information, and we cannot get through on their phone lines.

Kelly Wormann November 3, 2012 at 07:19 pm
Great thanks for the info. I am actually researching for a friend of mine since she is the one without power and it is difficult to find these things out. No local schools that have generators or power in the area of Chestnut Ridge or Pearl River are offering shelter even if it is not overnight and just a place to get warm or charge a phone? I will pass on the knowlege of the Community College and stores. Thanks again!
jane carroll November 4, 2012 at 01:15 am

Aerial of United Water's proposed water treatment plant
Tom Nimick June 11, 2013 at 09:23 pm
Mr. Pointing says that an issues conference is unusual. The unusual step is called for because thisRead 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.
John Taggart June 13, 2013 at 08:08 am
An issues conference will be a wast of time and money. So many ' issues ' have been pulled out ofRead 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 Recommend

Tom Nimick June 11, 2013 at 09:12 pm
There were no open meetings. I attended the April meeting and Mr. Lettre was directed by the TownRead 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.

Cicadas emerging from their 17 year slumber.
Kevin Zawacki (Editor) June 9, 2013 at 09:32 pm
Thanks for sharing, Grace! Your thoughts on their noise?
Grace Anthony Zemsky June 10, 2013 at 09:00 am
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.
