10/17/07 - Transportation group sees bus rapid transit as the way to go

Here are some interesting figures about commuting patterns on the Tappan Zee Bridge.

On an average weekday, 65 percent of Westchester-bound commuters on the bridge come from Rockland (52 percent) and Orange (13 percent) counties.

Just a little over a half (51 percent) end their trips in Westchester while an additional 10 percent head to Connecticut.

About 3 out of 10 drivers (28 percent) go to New York City, with more than half of those trips ending in the Bronx.....

... the DOT to take a leading role to promote transit-oriented development in the 30 miles between Suffern and Port Chester to boost ridership by getting people out of their cars. The project team is expected to choose an alternative sometime next ...

A new report, "Getting Up to Speed: A Case for Bus Rapid Transit and Transit-Oriented Development in the Tappan Zee/I-287 Corridor," evaluates the various transit options being considered by the Tappan Zee Bridge/I-287 project team and argues that bus rapid transit, combined with a transit-oriented development strategy, would do the most to reduce congestion along the 30-mile I-287 corridor. The full report can be found on the Tri-State Transportation Campaign's Web site at http://www.tstc.org/.

10/17/07 - Rye Town Meeting Notes - We$tmore $nooze Founder Once Again Dustrupts Meeting And Threatens A Police Officer

The Vendetta Continues.

Once again the founder of the hopelessly biased rag known as the We$tmoe $nooze, Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel proved that the Port Chester Police is afraid of him and his son Richard "The Rye Town Drama Queen" Abel.

Again the Rye Town Supervisor had to summon the Port Chester Police to escort Bernie "I forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel out of the Rye Town court room.

You Don't Spit In The Wind, You Don't Pull The Mask Of The Old Long Ranger And You Don't Dare Touch Bernie

Yes, once again Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel, became enraged at a Port Chester Police Officer. Bernie actually shoved his finger in the officers face and said how dare you touch me. Bernie then demanded that the poor Port Chester police officer apologize to him.

The poor Port Chester police officer had to Kowtow to crazed Bernie and say that he was sorry.

Personally, I would have never apologized to the apparently mentally ill We$tmore $nooze founder Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills' Abel.

Instead of Kowtowing and apologizing to Bernie, the Police Officer should have restrained the We$tmore $nooze founder in a straitjacket.

I am sorry. Now please take your seat.

But the lunatic Bernie wasn't happy that the poor Police Officer apologized to him on Cable TV. No Bernie also wanted Rye Town Supervisor Bobby Moribito to apologize and Kowtow too.

Unlike many Port Chester and Rye Brook politicians, Rye Town Supervisor Moribito has never ever Kowtowed to the emotionally unstable founder of the We$tmore $nooze.

Rye Town Supervisor Bobby Moribito repeatedly told the poor Port Chester Police Officer to escort the insane Bernie out of the Rye Town Courtroom.

Deputy Rye Town Supervisor Michael Borelli also refused to be bullied by the newspaper founder that obviously suffers from a sever personality disorder.

Of coarse, Trustee Billy "I Got A GED Don't Mess With Me" Vilanova is too cowardly to open his big fat mouth when the delusional We$tmore $nooze founder starts showing every one watching cable TV that he is apparently suffering from some kind of severe psychosis .

Trustee Billy "I Got A GED Don't Mess With Me" Vilanova is very wise to try and avoid eye contact with the deranged Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel.

These psychotic outbursts by We$tmore $nooze publisher Richard "The Rye Town Drama Queen" Abel and Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel are not going to stop unless the Port Chester Chief Of Police stops giving the Abel's special treatment.

When Richard "The Rye Town Drama Queen" Abel filed a false police report the chief of police dropped everything to personally interview the Rye Town Drama Queen.

When Richard "The Rye Town Drama Queen" Abel's newspaper box was thrown into the middle of Haines Blvd. a Police Lieutenant had to go out and take the routine report.

When a rival publisher's newspaper box was being installed near a We$tmore $nooze newspaper box five or six Port Chester police cars were taken off patrol and two Rye Brook police cars drove into Port Chester to assist.

We have had gun shots ring out on the streets of Port Chester.

We have the Sur 13 the Hispanic gang controlling and openly operating on Exchange Place and a big chunk of Irving Ave.

We have had a girl raped vaginally and anally in her car on fox island road.

We have had another girl held prisoner and had her eye knocked nearly out of its socket

We have a guy getting pistol whipped in broad daylight on Midland Avenue.

We have a rash of businesses and homes being robbed.

Our Parks are defaced and destroyed a will by vandals.

Yet every month multiple Port Chester police officers have to be sent to the Rye Town Hall, because of Richard "The Rye Town Drama Queen" Able and Bernie "I Forgot To Pay Over 100 Property Tax Bills" Abel.

The Port Chester Police Officers only feel compelled to Kowtow to Bernie and Richard Abel, because the Port Chester Police Chief Kowtows to the We$tmore $nooze and the Abels.

But the Port Chester Chief Of Police has a history of being political.

When ex-Port Chester School Board President Domenic "I Did Not Edit The Racist Flier" Bencivenga moved out of New York State for six months without resigning from the school board.

It was the hopelessly biased We$tmore $nooze who refused to report the story.

It was also the very political Port Chester Chief of Police that helped Dominic "I Did Not Edit The Racist Flier" Bencivenga find a little apartment .***

It is political crap like this that causes the outrageous 13 1/2% school tax increase that is destroying Port Chester.

This political crap is also cause the horrific crime wave that is destroying Port Chester

This political crap is also allowing Richard and Bernie to cause public disruptions at will.

The Port Chester Chief Of Police should be working with the Village Manager to stop this horrific crime wave.

The Port Chester Chief Of Police should be working with the Village Manager to start that Police Squad that is going to shut down the illegal and dangerous apartments.

The Port Chester Chief Of Police should not be, nor should he allow his officers to Kowtow to the Abel's just because they have a hopelessly biased rag known as the Wetmore News.

This is just one man's opinion.

I could be wrong, but you should probably call up 939-6864 and tell Bernie "I forgot to pay over 100 property tax Bills" Abel to cancel your subscription to the hopelessly biased Westmore News.

**** Note About Dominic "I Did Not Edit The Racist Flier" Bencivenga's little Apartment

The Good news is that Mr. Bencivenga has decided not to abandon his family for some cheap tart and has returned home.

10/17/07 - A resident of 511 Midland Ave. called police when she arrived home at 6:25 last night, saying there was "a stranger inside her house,"

Plans For An "Umbrella Gun"

Man threatens to kill Rye police - with umbrella

A 32-year-old Purchase man locked himself in the vestibule of a two-family home and threatened to kill police - with his umbrella - police said.

... the lock. Feldstein continued to jab at them with the umbrella, so police used pepper spray, Verille said. Port Chester Police assisted in the arrest. Feldstein was charged with second-degree burglary, a felony, and second-degree menacing and ...

All About Food: Delights of raw artisanal cheeses

STORY:

You meet the nicest people when writing about food and you get the occasional delectable perk like being invited to special tastings. Recently, Sapphire held a cheese and wine tasting for 5 Spoke Creamery, a new, small, artisanal producer of organic, raw milk cheeses from New York State. Sapphire Pantry is currently the only venue in California where it can be purchased.

The charming and enthusiastic Alan Glustoff, the cheese maker, was a former food scientist who worked on developing such things as Cool Whip and Pudding Pops at General Foods. His lifelong interest in food changed direction and he became a specialty food broker and more recently a cheese maker.

He launched 5 Spoke Creamery because he wanted to bring packaged, hand-made, small batch cheeses to the supermarket in order to "bridge the great divide between the perceived qualities of cheeses found in the supermarket dairy and deli sections and those cut to order at specialty food shops."

On his small farm in Port Chester, New York, he raises grass-fed Holstein cows that are free of pesticides and hormones and are certified kosher......
