Patchogue Long Island's Christmas Village:

*

The Christian Community is Determined to

*

"Keep Christ in Christmas."

*
In a letter to hundreds of Knights of Columbus members Philip Butler once again Initiates his "Keep Christ in Christmas" Campaign. In previous years many merchants preferred not to use the actual name of the holiday that is celebrated on Dec. 25, which is " Christmas," but instead use the term "Happy Holiday."

For fear of upsetting the Atheist Community, merchants generally use what is intended to be a more general term for Christmas, which is "Happy Holiday." Unfortunately many from the merchant community, do not understand, that Christians are mandated by Biblical Scripture, not to be ashamed of or conceal the name of their creator. Christians are not allowed to put the name of their sacred holiday, "Christmas," under the rug.

Many feel that the act of re-naming, altering, or substituting something into their religious beliefs is unacceptable.

Religion has been the reason for many wars in the past; remember the Crusades. Do religious people take their religions seriously? Absolutely! Currently 76% of the United States population are part of the Christian Community, and do indeed represent a substantial segment of our population.

I am a firm believer that all Religions share common ground; they all believe in a higher authority. Each and every Religious Group deserves respect and consideration by the other Religious Groups. We must all coexist in an atmosphere of mutual respect.

Wouldn't it be a wonderful Christmas if this issue could be resolved this year!

NEWS CORP is WRONG CABLEVISION is RIGHT

News Corp has pulled back Fox 5 and My 9, from the Cablevision lineup because they want more money from Cablevision. I usually do not align with Cable vision but in the case of News Corp.; Cablevision is right! Actually "House is the only program worth watching! Why should we pay more for a provider that provides us with what I consider to be, sub standard programming material.

News Corp. is licensed by the FCC to sell Commercials and provide programming over the Air, free of charge, which they are currently doing. Now they want to charge the customer twice, once up front through Cablevision, and then a second time through their commercials. I remember a fellow that did that; he was called Blackbeard the Pirate!

I recommend that the FCC and our politicians reconsider this situation, and act accordingly. This is the worst form of Consumer Abuse; forcing us to pay twice for the same programming.

PLEASE call

1 877 NO TV TAX

Town of Brookhaven

Saturday October 9, 2010

The Sandspit Marina, In Patchogue is Closed!

(This sign, purchased by the Town of Brookhaven with your Tax Money, is used to deny you access to the Great South Bay, after Dusk. Please tell me that this is just an unfortunate mistake, made by a misinformed employee!)

*

My Saturday evening got off to a wonderful start, my wife and I decided to go out for dinner. After the meal, we decided to go down to the water to enjoy the quiet serenity of one of our most valuable resources, the Great South Bay.

We arrived at the Sandspit Marina at 7:45 PM; to my shock the entrance was barricaded! My wife and I were not allowed to enter the Marina. We were not allowed to go near the water, as we have been doing for over Fifty Years!

Traditionally there have been signs saying that the Facility was officially closed at dusk, but people were allowed to enter the Park. That rule was not strictly enforced! To my horror Two signs saying "PARK CLOSES AT DUSK," were blocking access to the Park.

What are our politicians smoking? They have eyes that cannot see! We the residents of Long Island tolerate the Humidity, and everything else Mother Nature can throw at us, because we enjoy the water!

Who in their infinite wisdom decided to barricade the Sandspit Marina at 7:45 PM. This is unconscionable! Our elected officials preclude us from enjoying a resource that we pay them to manage and protect. If the general populous considered the Sandspit to be a worthless liability, then the facility might best be sold to a developer!

This could not be farther from the truth; The taxpayers of Brookhaven want access to their treasured facility; the Sandspit Marina!

Politicians; get out from behind your varnished Mahogany benches! Get away from your Microphones, STAND ABSOLUTELY QUIET, and take a deep breath! Just think about what you have done!
