08/17/07 - Now You Know Why It Is Called The Westmore Snooze In Port Chester

THE TRUE BLUE

CONSERVATIVE REVIEW

HEADLINE:

The Westmore Snooze Finally Came Out With Two Old News Stories Today. Readers Of Port Chester Roundup Had This Information Over One Week Ago.

STORY:

Maybe, Richard Abel the publisher of the Westmore Snooze had better start having his staff read Port Chester Roundup to keep current.

We guess Richard Abel is too busy plotting with ex-Port Chester Republican Chairman Januez Richards on how to get even with the Town Of Rye. Richard Abel is so upset that the Town Of Rye once again caught his father, Westmore News founder, Bernard Abel, failing to pay all of his property taxes.

Maybe if Richard Abel was not going to all those late night Port Chester, Rye Brook and Rye Town Meetings to bad mouth the Town Of Rye he just might be able to keep up with what's going on in Port Chester.

Plus all of those late night meetings at the Port Chester Coach Dinner plotting with Joe Carvin, Janus Richards and Billy Vilanova is really effecting the quality of the Westmore Snooze.

If you want to give Bernie or Richard a hot news tip why don't you come to the next Rye Town Meeting this Tuesday night and try to talk to them after they are done screaming and yelling for the cable TV cameras.

If you don't want to watch Bernie and Richard scream and yell, drop by the Port Chester Coach Dinner and try to interrupt the Westmore Snooze Republican strategy session.

Then maybe you can tell Richard or Bernie about your community event.

Well here are this weeks Westmore News Stories.

Better Late Than Never.....

Public invited to speak on parking fine increases

The public will have a chance to weigh in on proposed increases in parking fines and extending the hours when meter parking will be enforced in the village when the Port Chester Board of Trustees holds a public hearing Monday night......... [more]

Here Is The Earlier Story

Where The True Blue Conservative Review

Scooped The Westmore Snooze.....

08/10/07 - Let's Really Get Serious About Fines. We Should Start Giving Huge Tickets To Cusamano, Didden and Gianfrancesco.


And Here is Another late Westmore Snooze Story.....


One less candidate for town supervisor

The number of people potentially running for Rye Town supervisor has decreased from four to three after both groups that had submitted petitions to run on the Independence line were knocked off by the Westchester County Board of Elections last week.......... [more]

Here Is The Earlier Story

Where The True Blue Conservative Review

Scooped The Westmore Snooze.....

08/09/07 What The Heck Have Jananne Abel And Liz Sadler Been Smoking? Cesar Ruiz And Sam Terenzi Are Not Really Running For Rye Town Supervisor.

Of coarse Richard and Bernie Abel missed the story that has tongues wagging all over Port Chester.

The story is that Rye Town Supervisor-Wanna-Be Joe Carvin finally had his big fund raiser at Oakland Beach at Rye Town Park. Problem is that less than 35 supporters bothered to show up.

This fund raiser appears to have been a complete disaster.

But the story gets better the few supporters that Supervisor-Wanna-Be Joe Carvin attracted paid big bucks to eat at his beach side party.

However, there was one problem Carvin's caterer never showed up.

Supervisor-Wanna-Be Joe Carvin

Doesn't Have The Beef

Unfortunately, the 30 some party goers that paid big bucks to eat with the Harvard Educated hedge fund guy Joe Carvin, went home hungry.

Word is many of Harvard Educated hedge fund guy's guests had to go through the Mc Donald's drive through window after waiting hours and hours for his caterer to show up.

It is pretty bad when a Harvard Educated hedge fund guy that wants to run Rye Town Park and Crawford Park can't even handle feeding about 30 people at his own political fund raiser.

Worse yet the Harvard Educated hedge fund guy that can't even feed his high paying guests wants to be in charge of all the school and property taxes.

Please don't get me started on how greedy hedge fund guys are destroying the credit and real estate markets.

The housing market has pretty much dried up here in Port Chester.

The liquidity problem caused by these greedy hedge fund guys is killing real estate deals right and left in Port Chester.

The mess that these greedy hedge fund guys are causing is having a rippling effect on the housing market in Port Chester.

Let's face it, if someone with excellent credit can't find a buyer for his existing house, then he probably can't afford to buy your house in Port Chester.

It looks like the Federal Reserve is going to have to use your hard earned tax dollars to bail out these greedy hedge fund guys in order to keep the real estate market from collapsing.

Until this sub prime hedge fund mess is cleaned up it looks like the Port Chester real estate market will be very slow.

The Port Chester real estate market is not totally dead there is still be a weak pulse.

It's not quite the cop's "nothing to see here, move along, move along." and I wouldn't panic......yet.

However, if you wake up one November morning and find a hedge fund guy in charge of school and property taxes.

Run for the hills!!!!

Port Chester sergeant retires as oldest officer in Westchester

STORY:

Sgt. John Suppa may not win many foot races, but says he's more than healthy enough to keep up with his job as the oldest police officer in Westchester County.

Unfortunately for him and other officers who look up to him, he'll no longer get that chance. Due to the state's mandatory age restrictions for police, Suppa's being forced to retire as he approaches his 70th birthday.

"I would definitely go beyond 70, but I've got to go by what the law says," said Suppa, a traffic sergeant whose last day on the job is tomorrow. He turns 70 on Sept. 14.

Suppa, a former construction worker, joined the Port Chester Police Department in January 1965 even though it meant a drop in pay. This was at a time Lyndon Johnson was president and astronauts had yet to reach the moon.

"I was born and raised in Port Chester and thought I could make a difference in crime," explained Suppa, who was one of several members of his family to serve. One of Suppa's sons reported to him when he was on the force before retiring on disability. His cousin, meanwhile, is a detective........

......A low-key guy, Suppa has warned fellow officers not to throw him any sort of retirement party.

The chief laughed when asked whether a party was planned, saying: "If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise."

08/16/07 - Mr. Fortuna Got Gas In Port Chester, Because He Was On Empty. The Price Made Him Sick, Because It Was 20 Cents Higher Than In New Rochelle.

HEADLINE:

Gas prices fall but still sting

STORY:

The rise in gasoline prices that took place earlier this summer may be paying off for drivers this month, a government report said yesterday.

The average price of regular unleaded gasoline dropped 6.7 cents to $2.771 last week and was 22.9 cents lower than last year, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said in a weekly report.......

......Joe Fortuna of New Rochelle, who paid $3.039 a gallon to fill his Acura sport utility vehicle at an Exxon station on Main Street in his hometown, said: "Gas is too high anyways. It's ridiculous."

He said he tries not to use his air conditioner if he doesn't have to. He said he also tries to take his foot off the gas pedal and coast for stretches when he's driving on the highway.

Fortuna said he was in Port Chester recently, where gas prices are higher than in New Rochelle. He stopped to get gas because he was on empty.

"I had to fill up 20 cents higher," he said. "It made me sick."......

The tattooed 32-year-old Port Chester resident recently founded Suburbia Roller Derby, Westchester's first amateur roller derby league.

"You get to be tough, bad ... aggressive. You get to be really athletic and then there's the part of you that likes to get all dressed up - you get to be a girly girl - all at the same time," Freeman said after she spit out a black rubber mouth guard. "It's incredibly empowering.".........

HEADLINE:

Interstate 95: Our Very Own Road To Ruin

STORY:

EDITORIAL

IIT IS TORTURE. Driving Interstate 95 in Connecticut, the main east-west highway in the state, is absolutely painful.

Each trip exacts a mental and physical toll on a vehicles' driver and passengers.

Forget Guantanamo, if the government wants to coerce secrets from suspected terrorists, all it needs to do is put them in a mini-van and force them to make repeated trips up and down the interstate.

I've done it twice this summer, traversing back and forth nearly the entire 111.6-mile stretch from the Rhode Island border to Port Chester, the start of toll heaven and the New York Thruway.

Just because you've passed from the Nutmeg to Empire state doesn't make the drive any more tolerable, it only means more congestion and annoying, traffic-stopping tolls.

Bumper-to-bumper traffic is frustrating enough, but the stops at toll booths clog it even more and make it nauseating as you roll down your window to pay the toll and fumes billow in.......

08/12/07 - Tina-cious (pronounced tenacious) A 34 Year Old Lesbian Mom Of Two From Port Chester Blogs About Her Bad Memory

HEADLINE:

I'm a heel... I'm a cad...

STORY:

I am a horrible person.I competely forgot that yesterday was my best childhood friend's birthday. (Damn you Google calendar!!)I'm horrible.No shout out to you or anything.

I'd tell you to spank me, but I'd like it. lolSo let me tell ya a little about Bobbie --

Bobbie and I have been best friends since 7th grade at Port Chester Middle School when we met at a meeting at school for a John Hopkins honor student special trip (yeah, we were smart, what???)... we met up again later on and were joint at the hip ever since.

She is what I like to call my blonde-haired, blue-eyed, white girl twin.We were very much the same in a whole lot of ways except for the obvious ones.

Hell, even our email addresses are the same.I'm tinap73... she's bobbiep73.

Kismet.

So this is me and my Berooni together at her daughter's Sweet 16 last year in North Carolina:

I hate this picture of me, but Bobbie looks good.We both were built the same way back in high school... thin but with big asses and hips. So swapping clothes wasn't a problem.

We were so close I even started to take on her cute little lisp.We started to sound so much like each other that I even broke up with a few of her boyfriends over the phone FOR her....

Anyway, a decade or so ago she got married and was carted away to North Carolina. I hate that she's there.I miss her somethin' wicked... and every now and again I try to convince her to come back.

She just bought a new house this year down there....sigh...So Berooni... forgive me for not remembering your special day.I promise I'll make it up to you soon.Love ya!!

Port Chester Update

Westjanie reports...........

Patrias is still open -- BUT under new ownership.

Also new chef. Same menu, however.

We were headed elsewhere in the area last night, but noticing Patrias was open, after Adamclyde's scary info, decided to see what was going on. We were two couples and we shared eight tapas plates. Quality seemed as high in general -- major difference noted was more garlic in oil served for bread dipping and in gambas al ajillo, not a bad thing as far as I'm concerned.

Pantanal, however, IS closed. There is a sign indicating another churrasqueria(sp?) is coming to the same spot. (Not for a while, though, given the conditiopn of the space.)
