09/28/07 - Port Chester Doctor To Be Grand Marshall In A Parade

Fall Foliage Festival Parade, Events This Weekend

Source: IBerkshires


Dr. Richard Ziter will have a special seat for his first Fall Foliage Parade - riding in a convertible right behind Mayor John Barrett III and Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray and backed by the Drury High School marching band.



Ziter graduated from Drury High in 1945 and went on to practice in Manhattan and Port Chester, N.Y. He never made it back to his hometown for the annual parade until now - as grand marshal.

09/28/07 - Rye Brook Mayor Lawrence Rand Is Scared To Death Of Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel

Mayor Lawrence Rand Is Lying When He Tries To Make The Residents Of Rye Brook Believe That Rye Brook Mayor Filipowski Did Not Distribute Complimentary Beach Passes To Underprivileged And Struggling South End Rye Brook Residents. Mayor Filipowski also gave beach and Rye Brook tennis passes to Rye Brook Residents who volunteered to serve on various Rye Brook Boards.

I personally know that both beach and Rye Brook beach passes were passed out.

Anyone can go into Rye Brook Village Hall and ask Rye Brook Administrator Christopher Bradbury who helped distribute the complimentary beach and tennis passes to underprivileged and struggling South End Rye Brook Residents. Mr. Bradbury also gave the beach and Rye Brook Beach passes to Rye Brook residents who volunteered on various Rye Brook Boards.

That's why Mayor Rand says "he was told" that Mayor Filipowski didn't give out beach and Rye Brook tennis passes to underprivileged and struggling south end Rye Brook Residents. If you notice Mayor Rand does not say that Mayor Filipowski "never" gave beach and Rye Brook tennis passes to underprivileged and struggling south end Rye Brook Residents.

The only reason that underprivileged and struggling south end Rye Brook residents are not going to have access to beach and Rye Brook Tennis passes is that Rye Brook Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel came to Rye Brook Board Meetings with his son Richard "The Drama Queen" Abel and scared the hell out of Mayor Rand.

Mayor Lawrence Rand Has Always Been Afraid Of The Hopelessly Biased Westmore Snooze and Is Constantly Kissing The Butt Of Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel.

If you want you can read the article where Jananne Abel, praises her father in law Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Tax Bills" Abel For Denying Underprivileged and Struggling south end Rye Brook families access to the beach and tennis courts in Rye Brook.

But Ms. Abel will not mention how her family used the complimentary passes that benefited underprivileged and struggling families.

Nor does Ms. Abel mention all those complementary golf passes that Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel used.

Here is another Hopelessly Biased Westmore Snooze article.......

09/28/07 - Port Chester Republican Chhairman Billy Villanova Is Having A Fit Because The NY State Controller Failed To Send Him A 2006 Form Letter.

If You Are Having Trouble Sleeping Then Try Reading Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Villanova's Full Page Letter To The Editor, AKA "The Hissy Fit" .

Of Coarse Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Vilanova's Hissy Fit Of A Letter Takes Up Almost A Full Page Of The Hopelessly Biased Rag Known As The Westmore Snooze.

Whatever happened to the Westmore Snooze's policy of editing long verbose and boring letters to the editor.

I thought letters to the editor were supposed to be about 250 words or less.

I guess that rule only applies to Democrats who send letters to the hopelessly biased rag known as the Westmore Snooze.

I must admit I tried to read all Of Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Villanova's letter, but I started to get a headache and had to laydown and rest my eyes.

From what I understood of Port Chester Republican Billy Villanova's diatribe is that he is mad that New York State Controller Thomas P. DiNappoli failed to send him a routine form letter back in 2006, and he wanted to use that form letter to comment about a state audit.

I really think it is unfair of Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Vilanova to blame the State Controller Thomas P. DiNappoli, because he did not get a routine form letter way back in 2006.

Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Villanova should understand that the The U.S. Postal Service handles more than 40 percent of the world’s mail volume. The United States Postal Service sorted and delivered nearly 212 billion pieces of mail last year. That's about 680 million pieces a day.

Plus each Port Chester letter carrier delivers more than 43 tons of mail per year, averaging more than 2,300 letters, cards, magazines and circulars per day.

Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Villanova probably is unaware that The United States Postal Service delivers more items in one day than Federal Express does in a year and more items in one week than United Parcel Service does in a year.

Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Villanova should realize that The number of delivery points (households and businesses) served by the Postal Service grows by 5,900 every delivery day — some 1.8 million addresses a year. In fact,

The Postal Service delivers to 143 million businesses and households each day, six days per week. UPS delivers to 7 million addresses daily while FedEx serves even fewer.

I really think it is unfair for Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Villanova to get his knickers all in a bind, because he did not get a routine form letter from Mr. DiNappoli way back in 2006.

Maybe Mr. DiNappoli should have sent Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Villanova the routine form letter by certified or registered mail. Or Maybe, Mr. Dinappoli should have called up Billy and said," Billy I just want to make sure that you got that routine form letter I sent you."

Maybe if Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Villanova had called the Port Chester Postmaster way back in 2006, then the Postmaster could have maybe tracked down the routine form letter.

But unfortunately, Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Villanova waited a for year and 212 Billion pieces of mail latter to complain about not getting his routine form letter.

Maybe, Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Vilanova wanted to wait till election time to have a little hissy fit about not getting a routine 2006 form letter.

I mean if Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Villanova wanted to send comments to Thomas P. DiNappoli why doesn't he send Mr. DiNappoli a letter at...

State Comptroller, 110 State Street, Albany, NY 12236

Or maybe Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Villanova could call Mr. DiNappoli at 518-474-4044.

Or maybe Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Villanova can Email Mr. DiNappoli at osdc@osc.state.ny.us .

Or would Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Vilanova like me to get him the fax number for Mr. Dinapoli.

To tell you the truth I would be willing to drive up to Albany and hand deliver Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Vilanova's routine form letter to Mr. DiNapolii if he would stop whinning about this 2006 routine form letter.

Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Villanova just won't stop whinning about this 2006 routine form letter.

But why does Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Villlanova write page after page after page after page after page after page after page of complaints to the hopelessly biased Westmore Snooze.

I can guarantee Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Villanova that Thomas P. DiNapolli does not read the hopelessly biased rag that was founded by Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Tax Bills" Abel

Anyway, if you are having trouble sleeping then please read this full page letter where Port Chester Republican Chairman Billy Villanova whines that he did not get a routine form letter from Mr. DiNapploi.

Missing audit letters cause for great concern

09-28-07 The Rye Town Report Is Wrong

It Is Not True That Rye Brook Taxes Have Went Down 1.5% This Year.

Rye Brook Taxes Have Actually Went Up Year After Year After Year.

This Year Rye Brook Taxes Have Gone Up 2% This Year Alone.

The Only Local Governmental That Has Reduced Taxes Two Years In A Row Is The Town Of Rye.

The Village Of Port Chester, The Village Of Rye Brook and The Schools have all failed to reduce taxes like the Town Of Rye.

Unfortunately, The Village Of Rye Brook has not had a full blown New York State Comptroller's audit since the 1990's.

The Office of the State Comptroller needs to audit the Village Of Rye Brook.

A State Controller Audit help ensure that Rye Brook funds are used efficiently, and assets are adequately protected against fraud, waste and abuse.

Year after year after year Rye Brook's own internal auditors have repeatedly said, "We can not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the village's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion."

This reporter has personally set at Rye Town Board Meetings and repeatedly overheard Joe Carvin, Janus Richards, Sam Terenzi, Bernie and Richard Abel comment about Rye Brook Mayor Lawrence Rand and the whether Rye Brook is operating economically or efficiently. They even have speculated on if Rye Brook has complied with all the laws of New York State.

I have also heard Joe Carvin, Janus Richards, Sam Terenzi, Bernie and Richard Abel speculate on if Rye Brook has inefficiencies of uneconomical practices.

I have often said that it not is said at government meetings while the cameras are on that is not very interesting. It is what is said before and after government meetings when the cameras are turned off.

You can really hear an ear full after Rye Town Board Meetings when Joe Carvin, Janus Richards and Sam Terenzi get ready to take Port Chester Republican Billy Vilanova and the disgruntled founder and the publisher of the Westmore News to the Port Chester Coach Diner to talk about hogwash the Abels will print in their hopelessly biased newspaper.

However, I must say all this political chatter from Joe Carvin and his disgruntled band of close advisers concerns me, because let's face it Joe Carvin often tries to present himself as some sort of wanna be expert on government audits.

Yes it is true that it is kind of spooky how Joe Carvin has became sort of a magnet for disgruntled and sleazy opportunists with checkered pasts.

Yes it is also true that most intelligent thinking persons just ignore the Bernie Abels and Sam Terenzis of this world.

Further, I argue that it is better to be safe than sorry.

Let's face it a lot of elections in Rye Brook go uncontested election cycle after election cycle after election cycle.

Rye Brook Government has sort of turned into an Old Girl's Club, where local politicians try to keep each other's skirts down.

Please join Joe Carvin, Janus Richards, Sam Terenzi, Bernie Abel, Richard Abel and I as we demand that Rye Brook to submit to a full blown State Controller's Audit.

It is time for Rye Brook submit to a State Controller's Audit just like Port Chester, Rye City and Rye Town have.

If I have heard Rye Brook resident Dick Hubert say it once I have heard him say it a thousand times....

"We need financial transparency at all levels of government."

Please call state Controller Thomas P. DiNapolli at 518-474-4044 and demand that he audit the Village Of Rye Brook immediately.

It is fiscally irresponsible for the Village Of Rye Brook not to have been audited by the State Controller's office since the 1990's.

You can also email State Controller Thomas P. DiNappoli at osdc@osc.state.ny.us to demand ask him why there has been no state audit of Rye Brook since the 1990's.

It looks like State Controller Thomas P. DiNappoli is asleep at the switch when it comes to providing the residents of Rye Brook with financial transparency.
