Valley Cottage 'pocket' park too close to home

...Romney's statement on faith applauded
The need for Mitt Romney to have to defend his religious beliefs is caused by the bane of this country, namely politics. It is deplorable that - not for the first time - religion has been drawn into the political arena. If one adds the results of a poll that reportedly showed that more than 30 percent of those participating had voiced that they would "not vote for a Mormon," it becomes evident that we have not quite yet achieved the level of civility and maturity our Constitution aims at. Ours is apparently not yet the model democracy our politicians like to tell us and the world.
Mr. Romney's response was exemplary, as was the one given by John F. Kennedy almost 50 years ago. The Constitution speaks of "freedom of" not "freedom from" religion. One regrets that the media did not choose an educational role but rather its usual confrontational style. Or is there an attempt to profile Mr. Romney due to him being a Republican?

Lessons in bungling
Saturday, Dec 8, 2007
The strange tale of Jose Broudwiack has properly enraged many in northern Westchester and beyond. The Peru native was in the U.S. illegally, convicted as a sex offender in California, served his time, then easily, breezily and with apparent impuni...
...September 2007: Port Chester police stopped Broudwiack for driving with a faulty brake light. Voila: This time, his criminal history surfaced; Officer Walter Alcivar ran a computer check and learned about Broudwiack's revoked driving privileges. He also found out about the California warrant, which revealed the sex-crime conviction. Alcivar said he called police in California to check on the case and was told that they would not come to New York to get Broudwiack.
The Port Chester officer followed up with some more research, confirming that Broudwiack had never registered as a sex offender in New York, as the law requires. Alcivar said he called the Westchester District Attorney's Office. Assistant District Attorney Fred Green had Alcivar hand the failure-to-register case over to state police in Somers; it has jurisdiction in North Salem, where Broudwiack was living at the time. Meanwhile, Port Chester charged Broudwiack with aggravated unlicensed operation, a misdemeanor. He was arrested and subsequently posted $200 bail. But again he walked. It took six weeks for state police to track down Broudwiack....
