A job well done and a true "labor of love". Everything that is done is for our kids and aRead More very lucky staff. I am very fortunate to be part of the SLOTECLC family!!!

Thank you so much for the replies. Yes, in driving by I noticed a sign with the name 'SodomRead More Reservoir.' I will look into this..thank you!!

What you actually need is a permit from the NYC DEP. The reservoir is owned by NYC and they governRead More all activities. You can find out more at http://www.nyc.gov/html/dep/html/recreation/boating.shtml

If its a reservoir you need the water shed permit.

People who live in Southeast need to understand how the Comprehensive Plan (CP) affects everyone. ItRead More breaks up the whole town into various zones and specifies what can be built in each one. It was because of zoning changes that the enormous Highlands Center on Rt. 312 was allowed to be constructed, permanently destroying the ridgeline there and causing noise and light pollution for the neighborhoods around Tonetta Lake. Residents should be aware that more strip mall developers have their eyes on Southeast, and if we allow the zoning to be changed to accommodate them, any one of us could wake up and find a big-box store going up across the street, bringing lots of traffic and crushing property values. Anyone who wants to preserve the semi-rural, smalltown character of Southeast should show up to these meetings and/or write to the CP Committee. The Town of Southeast website has an announcement about the CP review on its home page. If you follow the link to the CP page, you'll see contact info for the CP Committee and links to surveys for residents as well as the committee's meeting schedule.

I hope people will take action now while they still can. These planning committee meetings haven'tRead More been well attended by residents, and businesses are showing up and trying to override citizens' valid concerns. It's imperative that residents take this opportunity to attend the meetings or contact the planning committee and give their input before permanent decisions are made.

The building is owned and operated by the Town of Southeast. All people in the Village of BrewsterRead More pay taxes to the Town of Southeast.

Um...Since I live in Southeast, I can't vote for Mayor of the Village of Brewster. So why do youRead More think I, a taxpayer of Southeast, paid for this destruction when I really don't have a clue to what happens in the Village? There's a disconnect that needs to addressed.

Thanks so much for letting us know about this important drive. I looked on the website but wasn'tRead More able to find the start of the 2-week sale. Can you provide the dates?

I vote for Ball but these "Hall of Fame" gimmicks are patronising
Paul Morini April 3, 2013 at 10:56 am
Honor a few women at taxpayer expense and vote against women's rights at every opportunity.

Great topics. I really like Mr Jacobs point of view on education. Also "A recipe for aRead More meaningful education." Always looking for more ideas on this topic. After all it is your child education-why not let then be involved in decisions. Look forward to April 12th. Thank you to Longview for offering this great event.
