Boarded up stores? The only stores that are "boarded up" in the Lindenhurst downtown are the ones being renovated as we speak. Take a walk down Wellwood Avenue. Alot of private as well as government investment pouring into downtown Lindenhurst.
- Major renovation, investment in the old building with new set of professional offices being built in the rear as well, - just completed major facelift, - c/o 1st and Hoffman in the process of rebuilding, - old 'bank' building next door finished rebuilding last year, - restuarant just beginning expansion project, - Village just finished new parking project on West Hoffman, - old Friendly's building just sold for new restaurant, - c/o of Travis and East Hoffman just finished major refurbishment, - County bringing in 2nd District Court next to Village Square with rebuilding set to start early 2004, - LIRR just finished parking lots rebuilding, more LIRR work ready to start.

I heard a rumor that Mayor Distler of Lindenhurst dissed one of her own employees and that that dissed him out of a chance to run for council person.

Wonder if he even knows?

Well truth be told, latest is that Distler is history, taking a "big" job somewhere...because the cronies at village hall said hell no to her request for full time pay...leaves the field wide open, except laest story is they are going in house with the next highest pubbie vote getter the....here comes the judge.

Well at least the village pubbies wont be two faced...because they villified the last Democratic mayor because he dared to change the job to full time with a full time salary...and all the time doing it while making the village debt free.

Brennan's an interesting choice, but not a shoe-in...word is might be a Dem deal in the works to get a well known pubbie vote getter into the top slot...hmmm, will be interesting.

A deal between the Dems and the GOP should be no surprise. The GOP leader, Aprea, and the Dem leader, Strickoff, are quite cozy as evidenced by the shenanigans of the last town wide election. Each party's membership should be disgusted by this little combo.

Those boarded up stores will be opened up by third worlders to Hawk dollar items,HaLiL (meat), zigorette and soda and lotto. Swines are over-running a formerly great village. Sold down the drain by democrat Kost Administration sub-divisions to Bono and Kretz. Now you will all wallow in what the Democrats cultivated during the 70's. Take a look at your on street parking throughout residential areas, soon they will all be double-parked. Nice to live in a village where every other house is an illegal 2,3,4 family.

How arrogant...blaming a dead man for the troubles of a village when the REPUBLICANS have had SIXTEEN years of total and complete control of the village.

At any time the village officials could have recinded and changed the two-family and multiple dwelling zoning laws, and grandfathered in the previous permits issued. Each of these would have expired when the permit holder escaped the village, the exorbant school taxes, and congestion to greener pastures.

Want to blame someone, how about the out of control school board that has raised your taxes over a hunder percent in the last ten years. Forcing senior and young people out of the village they were born in...

Is NOT what it once was. The village was once a place where you could walk the sidewalks and shop. The malls have taken away the small business people and replaced them with here today, gone tomorrow businesses, with the bulk of the rent coming from apartments above the stores. Apartments that are increasingly occupied by lowlifes who now prowl the business district, and further drive away the shoppers village businessmen depend on. Bay Shore should have been an example of how downtown areas go bad, but no one in Lindenhurst was paying attention.

Once nice neighborhoods are now besieged by illegal apartments and blight while the Lindenhurst Village Code Enforcement looks the other way. Junk yards and other businesses that abut residential areas are free to make an eyesore out of once nice neighborhoods, without so much as a visit from Village officials.

If stop signs were the equivalant of Village officials' concerns, we would all be living in nirvana.

I hope the next administration improves communication links between residents and the Village Hall. Lindenhurst Village has a web site, but it needs work. A big improvement would be links to the Mayor, Code Enforcement and the Highway/Sanitation Department. Residents could then lodge complaints online about code violations, and report things like potholes, dumping on Village roads, etc.

At the present time, Code Enforcement consists of an answering machine (not sure if anyone actually works there..somehow I envision the Maytag Man), and the highway dept. phone is often busy. Then they wonder why residents get infuriated about public officials. I suggest the new Mayor of Lindenhurst take a few hundred dollars and hire a professional to do the website so it actually does something constructive other than show pictures and pat village officials on the back about what a great job they're doing.

Republican rhetoric, you guys are lame, you could not find something of substance to talk about so you have to make up an issue.

Doran has been at many more meetings than McCaffery, and check his record man, he has over a 92% overall attendance record. and maybe instead of hiding village meetings during the day so real working people can't attend and see the terrible ways they waste our money, maybe the dis-honerable mayor could hold her meetings at night when the public can attend.

As for mike and Jodie, do they even know where Village Hall is? I think they have been at a grand total of maybe two meetings in their lives, and who is going to wake up Tanner and tell her how to vote now that Linda has been lining herself up for Shawn's job. Amazing the village is rotting from the inside, and you guys will make up stuff against a fine young man just to hold on to the little bit of local power and corruption.

Oh yes, Lindenhurst has it's code enforcement officers. They tack summons on people randomly of course. Anyone who they may be related to, friends with or even mildly acquainted gets away with anything. There has to be an end put at random code enforcement.
As for answering machines at code enforcement, have you ever tried to call our Old Village Hall Museum or even the Railroad Depot Museum? Nothing but ringing on one and the other is a machine reciting the 2 hours a week they are opened. Some museum for our children to learn about Lindenhurst in.
At this point I think anyone who is elected will be good for only their own. Governments are not supposed to be run like that, but since Lindenhurst is a small village that is what has been happening over the years. There are illegal apartments galore. The list of violated codes could go on forever. A neighbor of a friend of any of our politicians, code enforcement officers or just someone who is a friend of their friend can get away with anything. While a neighbor beside them will be picked on for anything that annoys them. Not too fair, not democratic or republican. That's communism.
A judge who sits in a room and does no listening, he just tells the poor person who is trying to only keep what they need to live happily what he decides they can or can not have. No questions asked. That is communism folks, if I've ever seen it.
So, who can we vote for? It would make not one difference who. They are in it for themselves, it's all about popularity, just like when we were in middle school voting for our classmates.
And you all know it's true

From reading your post, one can only surmise that: a) you have children b) you received a summons for a code violation c) you have no idea of what communism is and d) you have no clue about public service.

You complain about the limited hours of the 2 Village Museums. Sorry you were unable to take your kids to the museum when you wanted to. When was the last time you and your kids participated in the numerous events that the Village sponsors throughout the year? Were you at the Mayor's Beautification Society Pancake Breakfast this past weekend with the hundreds of other people who attended? How many times have you and your kids attended any of the Summer Concert Series events at the Gazebo or at the Depot Museum? Did you and your kids participate in the Halloween Parade? There is also the Snapper Derby sponsored by the Rotary Club, the Oktoberfest, the Village Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony and numerous other family events that are open to all members of the community and their families.

What was your code violation for? In a civilized society, laws are enacted for the benefit of the community as a whole. There is a reason why fences can only be a certain height, why you're expected to abide by building codes, why a basement cannot be used as an apartment, and why cars are not considered lawn ornaments. Think of the safety and well being of the other residents of the village. And yes, it is unfortunate that the village is unable to enforce all code violations. Do you think the village residents would approve of a tax increase to put several more code enforcement officers on the village payroll? Oh, and of course, if you didn't like the way the Village Justice handled your case, then don't vote to re-elect him if he seeks another term.

Your theory of this village being communist shows that you have little comprehension of what communism is, and is so absurd it does not warrant response.

Finally, your statements concerning village elections as being a popularity contest shows that you do not comprehend that there are people (regardless of their political affiliation) who care about our village and the quality of life of its residents. This is why the vast majority of people run for office in this village, not just to have their picture taken with a group of cub scouts or senior citizens at the Village Community Center. Do you think being the subject of constant public scrutiny is easy? Ask family members of any politician who is conscientious of their responsibilities to the people who elected them about this, and they'll tell you about the toll being a public official takes.

Our Village is a really nice place to live. There is truly a sense of community. Why do so many people who grew up in the village return to buy homes and raise families?

If you are malcontent, then stop whining and either do something constructive to change things or move away. I'm sure you'll be much happier in Manhasset, Great Neck, Belle Terre, Brentwood or Coram.

PBA Cards work at traffic stops why that is the respect we have for the badge.But if the officer doesn't honor the PBA Card and you get a summons you will be the first one to complain.People talk about Code Enforcement favors put your self in their shoes with the small pay they get.

Fed1- Not sure what you're saying about code enforcement in Lindy. Are you saying that they give out favors to friends and relatives and ignore violations by them? Are you saying that because they don't make a large enough salary that it's ok for them to ignore problems in the village?

Let's tell it like it is. Simple complaints to code enforcements answering machine are mostly ignored. There is no follow up by administrators to see that the complaint is rectified. In fact, I doubt an official numbered log even exists, this way there's the denial factor...that they never got a complaint. I speak from experience.

Here is what needs to be done: 1. Create an official log book for residents complaints and assign a number to each complaint. Give that number to the resident so they can follow up on their complaint and ascertain the final disposition. This way there will be no "lost" complaints and complete accountability to the public. 2. Computerize code enforcement records so that repeat offenders are recognizable for court purposes and easier record keeping. 3. Assign a village administrator to oversee the code enforcement bureau to ensure that complaints are taken seriously and are acted on properly. 4. Create a web page for village residents to make complaints and suggestions to village officials. 5. Pay a salary to code enforcement that is commensurate with their responsibility, and use the proceeds from fines levied to support their office.

What I am proposing is only common sense, would not cost a large amount of money (it may even turn a profit), and would work wonders in restoring residents faith in their village officials. The only reason I can see for NOT having these proposals become procedure is if our village officials don't want to be held accountable to village residents or don't want them to know what code enforcement acts on and doesn't act on. It's my guess that this is presently the case.

Lindenhurst Village Code Enforcement needs to become more professional and more accountable to taxpayers if they are going to serve the needs of this village. Why has no candidate suggested any of the changes that are so obviously needed? I'm sure frustrated taxpayers like me would vote for a candidate who ran on a platform to clean up this village and prosecute all the low-lifes who make this place look like one big slum outside of certain sacred residential areas that get all the attention.

First off, there just aren't that many fires.

Second, our biggest responsibility to our community is to provide a first rate ambulance service. That ain't happening! Our Village Officials have asked if the fire department needs help (in the way of paid people), but are chief's are too busy driving those shiny car we bought them. and they ain't going to rescue calls.

If Copiague, North Lindenhurst and West Babylon didn't save of behinds, we would have a much smaller population.

The only Chief that was going to all the rescue calls was dumped by the Hero Firemen.

Lets talk about the candidates for a moment. At a recent meeting when the candidates were asked about the Check Cashing store... seems as if the woman candidate had no clue as to what everyone was talking about. Now, to not know about the Check Cashing store on Sunrise Highway you have either not lived in Lindy long, or have no clue as to what is going on here. Now since this candidate has been here 19 years, you draw your own conclusions.

Seems at the recent Pancake Breakfast, there were two new servers there, sporting their nice new aprons. Guess Lindy needed a few "new hands" to help serve. Wonder if this was their first function to attend?

Why is it that at a recent civic meeting, the Republican candidates were ALL unable to attend, and sent the Mayor and another Village Employee in their place. We all now what the Mayor has had to say in recent years... wonder if that is why she is not running again? It is quite apparent that the Pubs are afraid to get involved in any "real discussions" about their platform or what they stand for. Could it be that two if them.... have no clue??? I think that is the answer.

02-27-2004, 06:22 PM

well I just want to inform you that there a web sight for all village services.We don't need a websight to have people post complaints. I have made a call to Code Enforcement and got through to someone.Thats strange I didn't get any answering machine.I If you have a websight for complaints everyone will be calling then you have to hire someone to take these complaints and transfer them to code Enforcement.Number 2 Since Steve Levy cut the Police Depts area Patrol Cars there will be less coverage in all towns and villages.Why not take back the overtime from an other area of the Dept not our patrol cars.We have Code Enforcement Officers working nights to protect out Parks and Quality of Life.Since the under age kids know the law the Police Dept can't do anything.The Code Enforcement does their job by calling the police.And most of the time the kids get chased by the Police and return back.If the new administration wins and gives Code Enforcement Peace Officer Powers do you know what will cost for insurance.I don't think that is a good idea.

First of all you are very quick with your answers. Could you possibly be one of the new trustees running on March 16th? Second, in what world do you live in that wearing a badge matters? There are corrupt doctors, police officers, firemen and security guards heard about on the news daily. Not to mention corrupt politicians. People vote for who is running because there is nobody else to vote for and the want to exercise their rights. Unfortunately, it is hardly ever worthwhile since we are not in the most truthful world anymore. Most are in lifes race for themselves, sometimes helping friends and family along the way.
In Lindenhurst if somebody happens to be related to a village employee or close friends you will see that they will have no problems. Their can have pretty much whatever they want to on their property as long as it's not too noticable and get away with it. Someone who happens to be just an everyday resident will have a problem and be bothered and summoned for everything. They will not be able to complete their survey plans when redoing houses w/out appealing, even though their neighbor has everything and more, their neighbor who is a village employee friend. Depending of course on what village employee. You will see commercial vehicles parked everywhere where a small hand of people will be bothered about theirs. Two family houses, some 3 family illegals will go for years w/ no sign in the front, you know that they have no permits obviously. While some other poor soul is appealing to allow some poor old man to keep the one bedroom apartment they've been posting and getting permits for the past 10 years. It's a shame, but it's true and if you don't know it's true you should open your eyes and stop letting your friends pull the wool over them.
There should be records of everything always, it doesn't have to be a website. Records should be kept in files or on computer disks for everything in all organizations.
I am glad you were so lucky to have someone pick up and not receive a machine. Did you actually speak to a code enforcement officer or just a receptionist? If an officer it must of been between 9 and 10 am.
School Security can pick up a direct phone line in their cars, yet code enforcement does not, now that is pretty bad.
Also, to the comment on how well they are paid somebody made, pay doesn't matter. If you have a job it should be done right, if you don't like it find another job.
I honestly am considering not voting because after years I have seen that whoever wins, it will always be the same. Yes, Democrats, Republican it doesn't matter that is how so many people are, sadly these days only in it for themselves. Once, very rarely we find those who aren't. They are usually our volunteers, our childrens'' coaches, some of our teachers' hopefully alot of them, and maybe even a few politicians. But only they know who they are, and God.
Now, can you deny that?

I'm curious, I've been in Lindy pretty long, but don't know about the check cashing store either, fill me in.

Also, about Lindenhurst Website. How is it great? The library has a better site, even the schools do. Lindy's site tells us nothing. There are no areas telling people Lindenhurst Laws of Ordinance, and nothing about the summer camp, nothing at all. Most people do things through the town of Babylon since they hear more about their programs and are given a pamphlet every Spring.
Check out any website from Towns or Villages. Most have the Laws and Ordinance.... within the site. Babylon, Hempstead, Garden City, Floral Park....
How are people even supposed to know what they are allowed w/out calling attention to themselves and calling the village regarding every little thing. It's just another way to give people a hard time. Keep everything under lock and key. Then when you call to ask nobody knows what's going on. Not to mention that when you finally get through there are endless errors made on the villages part when you try to take care of things properly. And the court system when you appeal, has Hitler just moved to Lindenhurst? When standing before the judge you are not even allowed to speak, much less plead your case.
What is so great?

First of all, I have been to many of those events in Lindenhurst through the years. What does that have to do w/ what I wrote on the 24th?
What are you so angry about? pretty defensive, I might add.
As to if I have children or not, what does that matter or have to do with anything.
I am glad you enjoy so much in Lindenhurst. I am sure you a a senior resident. Many children do stay in Lindenhurst, I should know. That doesn't mean they like what goes on, just that they want to be close to their families and old friends. And it still happens to be one of the more affordable areas to live in.
Lindenhurst does have alot of good going. Many of our schools are amazing. Our Library is wonderful as for those working there. They are always friendly in the Village Hall, I wouldn't say otherwise. That doesn't mean that there is no corruption though. There is corruption everywhere.
I am sorry if I have hurt your feelings somehow speaking my opinion. Yes, it is a nice Village, but like everything and every place it needs it's changes.
Like I mentioned though salary should have nothing to do with how somebody does their job.
The story I mentioned, regarding the judge, was one I've heard from friends and aquaintances throughout the years as people have gone through things with Lindenhurst. I have seen friends have to take down front porches, for no apparent reason and other friends, who happen to have also lived here all their lives be able to have the same porch in front of their home. Why because they happen to know somebody. Among other things I've seen through the years. There are alot of rules, that only selective people are picked out and given problems for. Some, are important, can be safety issues too as you said and others are not.
I never said that anyone from code enforcement isn't courteous. What I did say is that summons are handed out at random. I see so many things go unnoticed, that stand out like a sore thumb. Why and how they don't notice these things, on blocks such as Delaware, or Alleghany or John Street; I have no clue. I have seen code enforcement pass things up while they ride around all the time. My issue is not that someone receives a summons or violation, but that so many do not.
What I meant referring to communism is that in a democratic or republican place people are given opportunities to speak, to give their opinions and to prove themselves, no matter what the issue is.
Just because so many things are enjoyed, does not mean we shouldn't try to make what isn't better. That is what greatness is all about.

We are so worried about the Dem candidates no one cares that Jody C has never voted in a village election. How about the fact that Mike M has been part of the adminstrations boys and has made approvals on a lot of projects that are an eyesores in the village. How about Tom B abstaining on the vote for the garbage recycling center that burned on Queen St so not to offend anyone before the caucus. Pretty gutless I'd say. It is pretty sad that lies are being made up by the Reps because they have weak candidates and they don't do their homework when screening TB. JC. ML. Vote the change in Lindy. Moving Lindy in the right direction? Porn shops, potholes, cashing facilities, and rat infestation at the hwy dept. In case they didn't realize people moving out is the only direction Lindenhurst is going. Lets move Lindy in the right direction by moving the rep team out of office March 16th.

People you have to think about one thing.Why do people want to run for office when it pays next to nothing?The mayors job pays 12,000 a year.That is insane for all the things you have to deal with.In my eyes people with alot of money want to run for mayor for a 12,000 a year job thats insain to me.How much effort will they really put in to it when they have full time jobs already.What you are going to look into a crystal ball and make things change I don't think so.Well one good thing if Tom Brennan wins for Mayor.He will be very close to village hall at all times and can respond ver quickly if needed.Keep the Reps in they are doing a great job.This is not about the Badge people wear but if you want to get into that subject I can get into that subject very well.You have one thing right there is coruption all over the place.But not in Lindenhurst but here is one note.Remember one thing about corruption its the person who wears the Badge that help stop corruption that is making arrest.

Buzz around the village is 220 people were at Dems fund raiser with a lot of reps attending. Looks like the dems are pulling in all voters this time. Moving Lindy in the right direction.

Fed1 seems obsessed w/ badges. Anybody can be handed a badge for numerous reasons. There are all types of badges. Badges are to show people what you stand for, what organization you are with and possibly who you are. A badge should be an honor, but in no way does a badge prove a person wearing it is honest.
If you wear a badge Fed1 and feel you are honest and doing what you should be in whatever position or organization you are with, that is wonderful. Unfortunately, many wear badges and hold offices even who are still corrupt, whether you want to admit it or not. Lindy is not the one place that there is no corruption, it is here just like it's everywhere else and the people with the badges are not usually the ones to turn the ones who are corrupt in. Common citizens do, the police then do their job and go and get them and hopefully after that justice is done. Though it's still not always. Take some of the cases the past few years, OJ's, Jacksons, the list can go on and on. It just goes to show you that whereever you are, it's who you are that keeps you.
So, I hope if you wear a badge Fed1, you wear it w/ pride and you use it well, we will then have one more good guy around.

Several years ago a check cashing store opened on Sunrise Highway down the road from the Porn Sex Shop that was also allowed to open. Both of these establishments were allowed to open and continue to operate over the objections of the residents who live in the surrounding homes. Both of these stores are some of the first things you see when you enter Lindy. Wonder what sort of impression this gives people driving into our community?? "shame shame"

Dem Angel01

02-29-2004, 05:50 AM

I for one, am beginning to think that Fed1 and Bulldog have nothing better to do with their time than to cast aspersions on the candidate's on the Dem line. Who in case you have not notices are a Democratic, a Conservative and a Republican.... how's that for a ticket that represents "ALL" people!!!

It is a sad state of affairs when the mud slinging starts. Everyone knows that when the going gets tough, the weak revert to these types of antics to try and get the heat off of themselves and onto their opponents. Everyone knew that the Rep candidates would have their flunkies start with the lies and innuendos, because when the truth is spoken the Reps can not admit that they have done a terrible job here in the past 16 years, so the mud starts flying.

The Reps won't debate the issues in any sort of forum, where the people of Lindy would be able to ask questions and hear what the candidates have to say, and then make an educated and informed decision on who to vote for. Why are the Rep so afraid to come to a Candidates Forum? Could it be because they know that two of their candidates do not have a clue as to what is happening in our Village?? All candidates were invited to a Civic meeting recently and neither TB, ML or JC attended, but sent LD and SC in their place.

An interesting side bar concerning "no no's". How many times has the Village Administrator been seen in one of the district courts on village time practicing law??? A little birdie tells us that he was there just this past week, representing one of his clients of this "private law practice".... Remember people, the Village has legal counsel and it is not SC, so it must not be misconstrued that he was there on Village business representing the Village. Guess the Mayor either has blinders on or just turns her back on these little indiscretions. "shame shame"

So you see Fed1 and Bulldog, things are not as honest and rosy as you want people to believe they are with the current administration. It is time for a change and that change is known as "The Doran Team 2004".

How dare you "blame" God for all that goes wrong and all decisions, good or bad that people make. That's absurd.
God will have nothing to do w/ decisions and votes being right or wrong. We lead our own way, God only watches over us.
Are you saying that every candidate ever voted for was the right choice, no matter what it lead our country to or State, Cities, Towns and Villages, even schools. Not to mention other countries and decisions.
That is just plain ridiculous. People don't know who to vote for. Many may choose what they are comfortable with thinking that they will not have their senior dances, and services or other services for younger people even unless they do. People do not realize that most of these services have nothing to do w/ village candidates, or the village at all. People are just hoping they make the right decision, it doesn't mean they are.
And as for the porn shop and check cash place, it has not much to do w/ anything a Village Official can help. Sunrise Highway is the Town of Babylon. These places are not noticeable to normal people in our everyday population. Only chronic complainers, and nutcases notice these places. It's on the border because people form the town before us are using these places mostly. When you pull into Lindy, on Sunrise the 1st noticeable place is King Kullen Shopping Center and Island Recreational, thanks to their big bright sign.
People, people you have to know what to argue about. And this is not the thing. What about our empty movie theater?

""Why are you so upset about about a check cashing store and Porn Shop. They are serving your core Democrat Voters, Illegal aliens and perverts.""

As I had said earlier, once it gets down to the last few weeks before an election, when the opponents don't have anything substantial to hang their hats on, the mug slinging begins.

If you are going to make statements, back them up with facts... such as how Jody C could even consider running for office when she has NEVER voted in a Village election and more importantly was she the BEST candidate the Rep big wigs could come up with??? Now that is a sorry state of affairs. Seems to me that she may have gotten the nod because of who one of her best friends is married to (SC-Village Administrator) and who her other best friends brother is (DM-Ass't Village Administrator). Does anyone see anything a bit shaded here???

And in case you did not realize this, the sitting Village Justice is a Republican and he is NOT up for re-election this year. oh my, you must have not realied that.

I wonder if any of the candidates, or anyone at Village Hall reads this site. I'd love to know what they'd have to say about it or even think about it.
I definitely believe what your saying about Jodi. It's obvious and everyone knows that this whole village is run by friends and relatives. How nice for all Jodi's friends life will be once she's in, if she is.
Republicans win many times because they consist of mostly seniors or snobs who can pretty much make their own hours. Democrats work for a living, they are busy with their work, their lives and their children. Republicans have nothing to do but vote on March 16, they send their kids off w/ daycare and sitters and camp... So voting is on the tip of their mind, cause nothing else matters but issues, and making sure that they make their lives even easier then they already are.
People should take the Village to higher courts regarding issues, especially if there are candidates who should not be running. Their are many family and relative laws, I'm sure if they were looked upon alot of corruption would be found.

What do the democrats have to do w/ you getting the pink slip. That could have been whether the town was dem. or rep. at the time. When it comes to people getting layed off, it happens much more often when republicans are in office the democrats. Just that the republicans will get rid of the people doing all the hard work, while the democrats get rid of the workers who are making the money, and not doing much of anything worthwhile.
As for the rat comment, a little immature, don't you think?
I am not for either republicans or democrats, I'm independent and I vote according to who I think will do the best job and hope I'm right. I never go by what party they are from only, I go by what I think the party is offering to do for me and the place I live in.
Don't worry so much anyway. Driving around you can see by all the signs posted that Mike and Jodi have more buddies around to post their signs on their lawn then Ray does.

County Exec Steve Levy has made it clear that a priority for his administration will be the building of "affordable housing", and he stated he will be working hand in hand with Town leaders to accomplish that goal.

I for one, do not want in Lindenhurst what we all know the term "affordable housing" means. We can assume that the town leaders who will be at the forefront for high density housing will be democrats. That would mean Bellone, who has already shown his penchant for uncontrolled development in Bablon. Now... can you imagine a democrat in Lind. Village kissing Bellones ring to curry favor with Schaeffer and Levy? I can, and nothing good will come of it. The Schaeffer/Bellone duo has no regard for our neighborhoods, and I doubt any of their cronies would either. That's why I'll be voting Republican regardless of who's running or why.

Just curious, where in Lindenhurst Village did you think they could build? On our seaweed, dirty, beach Venetian Shores that was recently made public, instead of being cleaned up, by our republican party? I'm trying to picture where there would possibly be an area in Lindenhurst, which is overcrowded already to put even a small apartment building. Besides near the one that they are already allowing by Harding Avenue. Oh, are republicans allowing that, couldn't be. Or perhaps they could put one someplace on Hoffman Avenue and ruin the beauty of the factory's and taxi cabs companies. Have you seen some of the people working around that area. We don't need affordable housing built in Lindy anyway, we already have all the people you are worried about moving in. They are in the illegal apartments on every block of Lindenhurst. Nobody reports them and some are even being rented by people who work for our our very own Village Hall.

Venetian Shores and American Venice are not part of the Village! The beach that you talk about is run by the TOB DEMS!

I'm a Lindy Democrat and I'm voting Republican because although I think all of the candidates are good on both sides, I liked Mayor Distler and am supporting her endoresd team because I believed in her.

03-02-2004, 05:42 AM

Sorry, big error on my part this time. Yes, they are TOB beaches which happen to be in our village. I still do not see why our republican party doesn't fight to keep it clean and private. Since it does happen to be in Lindenhurst, even if it's run by TOB. Which means that if TOB decides to build in Lindenhurst it makes no difference who we have in office, really.
Also, just because you know and love Mayor Distler so much. You probally met her at some function and think she's your best bud. Guess what, that's what she's supposed to make you think, that she's great. That's what all politicians do. I've met Bellone, nice guy, doesn't mean he's the best for TOB though. He does some good, some bad, just like Distler.
And what does her recommending the republican party have to do w/ their experience. Of course she will recommend her own party, what do you expect.

If you knew anything you would know that the porn shop was opened in 1987 against the wishes of everyone including Democrat Mayor Thomas Kost. The issue was decided in Court on a First Amendment issue.

No one has blamed Kost or Kienle or anyone for that decision. To try to same that Mike had something to do with that is libelous at best, slanderous at least.

If I were you, I would apologize for that remark. Discussing legitimate issues are one thing but a lie like that will not go unchallenged by even this longtime Democrat.

Both sides have behaved like real gentlemen and ladies throughout this campaign so far. They all should be commended. It is truly a model that we have not seen before. All of the candidates should be proud. You should support whomever you like but don't start savage rumors!

It is truly sad when politics gets in the way of honoring community residents. At a recent PTA Council meeting I was appalled to hear a conversation that Jodi C was having with a small group of people, while standing in the isles of the auditorium. It seems that Jodi C tried to stop presentations being made to honor an over 50 year member of the community, for her 50 years of service to children and youth through her involvement in the PTA in Lindy for 50 years. One may ask why did she do this?? Well, perhaps it was because she did not do her job as the Awards Chairman and notify the elected officials, both Dem and Rep, the Superintendent of Schools and Board of Education that the PTA Council was recognizing someone. Perhaps she was embarrassed when she found out that others had taken the initiative to notify our Village, Town, County and State officials to make them aware of this special evening for this special woman.

Instead of acting graciously and allowing the presentations to be made, she had to make a scene and a spectacle of herself. Telling a current sitting Village trustee that he could not present a small plague to the woman, because and I quote.... ""there isn't anyone from the other side here to present anything."" and ""Why not present it to her at your fundraiser."" Jody seems to forget that the women spent 50 years involved in PTA not in politics. And, just for the record, the honoree is a registered Republican, and has been all her life.

To tell the emissary for our Legislator and Town Supervisor that she ..... "has no business her tonight, you aren't a member of the Council"" .... is absolute hog wash. Last I understood and read in the South Bay Newspaper, everyone was invited to attend the PTA Council Founders Day celebration. Or is that just "select" everyone's?? You see Jodi C. you committed a cardinal sin..... you brought politics into PTA in the most blatant way. You as a candidate for office should never have been the presenter of any awards that night, and then when Doug M's sister presented you with a birthday cake.... you all crossed the line. Politics has no business in PTA and you should be ashamed of yourself for bringing it there.

It would seem to me that if Jodi C is attempting to become an elected official, that she should start to understand that courtesy and respect of others plays an important part in being an elected. There are times that residents will "get in your face" but you as the elected have to sit there and smile. Just because something does not go your way, does not mean that you can have a hissy fit about it.

Jodi C, you need time to grow up and learn how to act like a leader before you can be one. Perhaps the first thing that a leader learns is how to "delegate", which is what you should have done with the awards committee. When you realized that your political involvement was not allowing you to do the proper job required of you, i.e., notifying the elected officials, you should have passed that task onto someone else on the committee. Seems to me you had the same problems when you were the president of Alleghany Avenue and are still experiencing them at the Middle School. But then I guess your running mate Tom B knows that also, and is the reason why he is telling being who are upset with you running and are telling him so ......"""well, you don't have to vote for her, but vote for me ..... she interviewed well .... I think we could have found someone better .... so please just vote for me""" Ask Tom B if he said those things, and if he denies it..... shame shame Such party loyalty!!

Sports school not good for New Berlin

In reference to your story, "Sports school eyes New Berlin site," I hope the good people of this beautiful little village unite and come out in great numbers to protest this use. I am currently a resident of Long Island, but am building a house in New Berlin. I don't want a school that houses students who vandalized their own dormitories in this sleepy little town.

When school isn't in session, where do the people of New Berlin think these students will go? They refer to them as guys who may have had a little trouble in high school. What kind of trouble are they referring to, legal or academic? I for one don't want the village swarming with people on the weekends. Yes, they may bring more business, but at what cost to the residents and taxpayers? Increased police presence, increased parking, increased services provided by municipalities, all at an increased cost to you, the taxpayer.

The U.V. school may be a burden right now, but we may be taking on an even bigger burden if this decision is rushed because they don't want to heat the school.

I bought in New Berlin because I wanted to get away from these problems. I am against this use and will attend the public meetings. I would hate to have to sell my home before it is finished to avoid a possible decrease in property values, just to save a few heating dollars.

Hey Fat Lou, you want us to think you are the judge and jury of character here in the Village. You place yourself in a position to attack Doran and his people - are you insane. Aren't you the Lou Dietz who got thrown out of the fire department for missing money?? Aren't you the Lou Dietz who has this deal...pay me cash, I deposit it in my North Fork Bank Acct...then you get a permit to build or construct...and then I get to put a Brennan sign on the construction site.

Amazing how many Brennan signs are located directly under the Approval Permit from Village Hall for outside of code construction...wonder how these same permit applications and approvals line up with the cash deposits in Fat Lou's bank accounts?

My sign off "LD" is not a name you idiot. As a lifelong Democrat in this Village it actually stands for Liberal Democrat because that's what I am!

I just don't appreciate my friends (Carol Tanner) being unfairly savaged. If you don't believe me, Tough Guy, go to the Rainbow Center and tell my friends there what Doran said. That would be a very dangerous thing to do.

We may be old and frail (I'm 71 years old and I'm pretty good with a computer for an old guy) but we'll not tolerate "Senior" bashing.

Remember Doran plans on doing away w/ selective code enforcement. Big thing we need here now. So unless you are buddy's w/ someone on the Rep party, think before you pull those levers!!!!

Sports school not good for New Berlin

In reference to your story, "Sports school eyes New Berlin site," I hope the good people of this beautiful little village unite and come out in great numbers to protest this use. I am currently a resident of Long Island, but am building a house in New Berlin. I don't want a school that houses students who vandalized their own dormitories in this sleepy little town.

When school isn't in session, where do the people of New Berlin think these students will go? They refer to them as guys who may have had a little trouble in high school. What kind of trouble are they referring to, legal or academic? I for one don't want the village swarming with people on the weekends. Yes, they may bring more business, but at what cost to the residents and taxpayers? Increased police presence, increased parking, increased services provided by municipalities, all at an increased cost to you, the taxpayer.

The U.V. school may be a burden right now, but we may be taking on an even bigger burden if this decision is rushed because they don't want to heat the school.

I bought in New Berlin because I wanted to get away from these problems. I am against this use and will attend the public meetings. I would hate to have to sell my home before it is finished to avoid a possible decrease in property values, just to save a few heating dollars.

Honestly people, I am sure that it's just a bunch of teenager kids taking the signs, switching them around. Anything to get their kicks and a laugh. I do not think either party has time or guts either to steal, move or change signs. Get Real
Also, people who are deciding to go democrat are not stupid. They are reading up on what is being said. The republican party says only that nothing will change, pretty much. The Doran's team is saying that they will do away w/ random code enforcement. Make it easier to file for permits too. Maybe the village would spruce up some if people were not so afraid of dealing w/ all the aggravation you get when you go to get permits to fix up your house. The Doran team is saying that they will make it easier for people to refurbish their homes. This can make Lindenhurst definitely more beautiful to live. What about the empty movie theater, Friendly's has been empty 2 years. Nobody's fixing up on Wellwood, they've had enough time. Stop being afraid of change, we need it. Don't worry your rainbow center fun will not be taken away.
Let's see, what else... did you know there is only one full time code enforcement officer? No wonder why there is selective code enforcement, that explains it all. Time for a change people. Let's give Lindenhurst a chance to pick up w/out raising our taxes and reassessing our homes.
What is so horrible about the TOB? Steve Bellone has done a pretty good job I feel. Look at Phelps Lane and the other parks. And also remember, Doran's team is not all Dem. there's a republican and conservative on his side too.

How do we believe the senders of the letters, when the candidates mailing does not support the statement made in the letters, "that the Republicans have run an election without personal attacks".

What you should be thinking before you pull those levers, is that Ray Doran will say anything to anyone in order to get elected.

His mailings and especially his "Seven Solutions" are laughable. Doran knew that the boarded-up house on South Bay that he so proudly made the subject of one of his glossy content-free mailings was in contract to be sold, yet he still ran the piece.

Doran also has found a way to force a property owner to sell and or utilize his commercial property, which he'll do with the theater and with Friendly's. However, he still hasn't told anyone what his method to divest a property owner of their rights are. Wow, Ray is going to set legal precedent in New York State, even though he couldn't win his court case against the Lindenhurst Republican Committee, or his appeal for that matter even with his battery of $500.00 an hour attorneys.

Oh, and yeah, when Ray is elected Mayor, the Village is going to be totally repaved, we're going to have a multitude of additional staffing throughout the village, we're going to get new sports fields, and get artificial turf on the old ones after they're all regraded, and best of all, Ray is going to "pass legislation to make tax credits and other benefits available for seniors". Maybe Ray should do some research. Under New York State Real Estate Tax Law, seniors are already entitled to an enhanced STAR Exemption, and if they are former military, they get a Veteran's Exemption. But Ray is going to get the seniors more tax credits. Oh and of course, there isn't going to be any tax increase to the Village Residents, for all of these new goodies, because Larry, Curly and Moe are running as the "No Tax Increase" Party.

Yeah, what I want as my Mayor is a guy who for years sold auto financing and after-market extras like undercoating. You know, the guy who tells you that due to your "poor credit rating", you can't qualify for the preferred credit advertised by the dealership, but he may be able to talk with his boss to get you into a loan program that isn't so bad, its just three times as expensive as the credit you're really qualified for because you have credit that is rated "Tier 1".

Did you know that when Ray looks in a mirror, the reflection he sees is Steve Bellone. Another fine gentleman who'll say anything to anyone to get a vote. Maybe this is why you think The Town of Babylon isn't so bad. Call Town Hall, and ask Steve Bellone when the 2002 Town Audit will be completed, and when the results will made public.

Maybe then you'll understand the concept of integrity and financial responsibility. Then again, maybe you won't.

To bad Ray that you and your team lost. But who is the real looser here, the men who were running for the seats with new and fresh ideas, or the Lindenhurst Village. Unfortunately, it will be back to business as normal. Within the next few weeks all the things that were said by the Brennan team will be forgotten by the Team and we the residents will be left holding the bag, once again.

Let's see how long it takes for the special rezoning of the bowling alley to take place so it can be sold and a nice new drug store can be in its place.

Let's see how soon after that rezoning that the Mayor-elect becomes the "new" owner of the funeral parlor where he is currently employed.

Did I fail to mention that the bowling alley and funeral home are owned by the same person who has not even lived here for years and years?

Let's see what an all Republican Village can do to help the residents here. Keep your eyes open people and watch your backs!

I guess you don't drive around Babylon Town too often. The roads are crumbling, litter is everywhere, and there aren't too many parcels of land left to build senior citizen housing, supermarkets or drug stores on anymore. Code enforcement is used as a weapon to punish those who don't contribute to the Democratic party, and anyone with the proper connections can do what they please in Babylon. Bellone and co. have jumped in bed with developers and are in it for personal gain, not for the hardworking taxpayers of Babylon. The legacy Schaeffer and Bellone are leaving Babylon is disgraceful. They are the reason most people hate politicians.

What wonderful has happened recently in Lindenhurst, that we can actually feast our eyes on. Lighting? More tax money used for something not really needed.
Well, let's just hope that our newly elected do good for our community and remember that they are working to help a whole community, not just their friends or themselves. I'm assuming that they must have things in mind that can use change and ideas or they wouldn't have been running. Hopefully good will come. At least most of us know one of those who were elected is a good person, despite news articles.

Both Ray and Tom are two decent men who ran against each other and the residents decided.

03-20-2004, 01:01 PM

I don't think who won or lost is the issue anymore. Its over, the reps. won and now they have total control of the board. We will see just how many of their promises they keep. But that really isn't the big problem here. Do any of you know how many people turned out to vote, about 3,700. In a village of over 27,000 people, only 3,700 showed up at the poles. I think it is an absolute disgrace that 23,300 didn't even bother to voice an opinion. Even though the majority of those 23,300 people will have some sort of complaints about the administration, regardless of who had won. It is amazing how many people in this village complain about things that they see, hear, and experience in the village but come the day to do something about it, they just sit home and do nothing. I think the new administration and any administration to follow should make it a point to try and get more residents involved in what is going on around here. The ages they really need to focus on is the younger generations, from late teens to late twenties. Maybe if this was successful then one day we'd have a real election where more than 13% of the registered voters would show up and vote. Out in the 5 boroughs this would never happen, people are much more involved in their local politics. You all need to stop playing childish games on this board and go educate your children and friends about the politics around here. Maybe then the village would be in better overall condition and the college students and young adults wouldn't be trying to get out of here as fast as they could.
Because of the state of this village we're loosing the most important part of it, the youth. Before you know it this village is gonna be full of fifty year olds and up. Do we really need all of these retirement homes? Do we really need a drug store every few blocks? This village needs to be revived, its become real boring to live here. I mean, we don't even have a movie theater anymore, and the bowling alley is about to be closed apparently. So what is there for the younger generations to do here? Whats keeping them here? There are no new bars or clubs for them to have a good time in. So they go elsewhere, spend their money in other places. The village might actually turn a profit on something if they would recognize the younger generations in this area. Imagine being a twenty one year old college student with no place to hang out in your own neighborhood. Having no movie theater to go and see the newest movies, not even a coffee shop to go and have a drink with your friends at. All the bars are old and dank, and there are no clubs in the area so you have to drive to another town to have a good time. Imagine driving down Wellwood Ave. (or "the runway" as its now know thanks to those wonderful lights) at 11 or 12 at night looking for something to do, and all the windows are dark, no place is open, and the village just looks dead. Imagine what a dull and boring night that must be, now you see why all the young generations are leaving. Now you see what its like to be someone my age.

Fed1 you are missing the point that was being made by the young resident. The point that was being made is that there is nothing to offer the younger generation in this Village, and that person is 100% correct. Lets offer something in our community to the young adults that will make them feel like they are part of the community. Let them be able to say, hey I'm from Lindenhurst and we have this wonderful coffee shop and concerts in the park etc. etc.

In the summer the Village has those cute little concerts, but have you ever seen anyone younger than 55-60 attending one of them? If there were, they were few and far between. Possibly a concert in the park for the younger people. There are enough bands in this community, where I am sure you could tap into their resources for an evening of entertainment.

Maybe someone with some foresight should be trying to locate a business that would entice the young people to stay in our Village. A coffee shop that would enable seating outside in the summer months, would be lovely, for all residents to enjoy.

As far as the docks go... code enforcement and the docks patrol is very quick in hustling away any groups of young residents. They have the misconceived notion that all youngsters are trouble makers. This community and the village officials need to become sensitive to the needs of "all" residents young and old alike.

I am hoping our new Village Board will read this and take some action on it. Let's try and make our Village truly resident friendly. If they want my help, they just need to ask. Leave me a post and I will contact them.

Here's a thought. How about the 19-25 yr. old group do this: Attend college from ages 18/19 through 22/23, Then get a job and some responsibility in life. Sounds better to me than creating places to hang out.

turnout

03-21-2004, 03:21 PM

There is a LARGE majority of college students in Lindenhurst. Most, almost all, of them have jobs. But work and school doesn't take up all of our time. Going to school and having a job sure sounds like some responsibility to me, its actually a lot of responsibility. Just be glad the whole younger population hasn't fallen into drugs like some that aren't going to college and don't have jobs. And what is so bad about wanting to have some place to hang out? The elderly people have the Rainbow Center don't they? So what, just because we like to have fun now and then we can't have some place to do that? We have to go some place else! You don't want your children/grandchildren staying close to home to have good time? You'd rather them drive somewhere else, stay out till whatever time in the morning and then drive home and run a greater risk of having an accident?
In regards to the little theater in town. Not everyone is into the arts. So why would you go there if you didn't like the arts? The movie theater in West Babylon, run down, dirty, and NOT IN LINDENHURST. Thats was the whole point of bringing this up, to bring life back into Lindenhurst. And finally the youth center. Do any of you know what goes on at the youth center? Yes, some of the younger teenagers are there to hang out, but not all. The youth center has become the place to go when you need to get drugs. The teenagers go there to get drugs from the dealers of this town. You can deny it all you want, but there is a drug problem in this town.
This is why I brought up this issue, because people like Class of 69 and others don't understand what it is like to be a young adult now. Yeah I know, you were all our age once. But you know what, times have changed, and this village has not changed with the times. College students want to be able to have fun on their time off. They want to be able to go into a bar with a few friends and have some drinks and listen to some current music, but the bars around here have been here for easily fifty years or so. Name one bar in Lindy that has a DJ in it. The closest clubs around here are in Babylon village and Farmingdale on 110. You really need to understand that the 19-25 year old group is decreasing in population. People are moving to other communities because this village doesn't offer them anything. We're looked at as immature trouble makers. Yet the majority of the trouble in this village is caused by teenagers. They're the ones walking the streets all night destroying public and private property and vandalizing buildings. What you need to see is, twenty years from now our age group will be the people in the administration. Who would you rather have as a mayor, someone who lived in Lindenhurst their whole life, or someone who moved here at the age of 30. There isn't going to be any smart responsible people from the 19-25 age group left if this village doesn't make it fun to live here.

Class of 69

03-22-2004, 06:34 AM

I might agree with you, except that I can't think of any current bar that doesn't abut a residential neighborhood. In fact, the zoning in Lindenhurst Village is so haphazard that most business and industry infringes on some of Lindy's citizens ability to live a peaceful existence. Unless such a nightclub/bar could be located AWAY from residentially zoned property, then I would be against it, as would anyone such an establishment would adversely affect.

03-22-2004, 07:07 AM

I wasn't suggesting to put a club in the middle of a residential block. There is more to the village than just wellwood avenue and residential blocks. The empty movie theater or friendly's would make great spots, but there is almost all of montauk highway that a club could be built on. I'm sure if someone wanted to buy one of the businesses on montauk out and open a club some people would be grateful. The only thing is, would the village allow a club to be built, doubtful.

As a lifelong resident here I have to say that I see myself leaving soon. I have a job and I went to college (that should satisfy you class of 69) and have plenty of responsibility at that job. I'm responsible for around 150 people daily on a 12hr shift. And yet I still find time to want to "hang out" and would like to have somewhere here in Lindenhurst to do so.........and there are NO places here. So I am forced to go other places to spend my money and time. The marina was mentioned in a previous post.....great its a good place to go and sit and watch old men fish cause that's about all you will see there old men and family's with little kids teaching them how too fish.......neither of these two groups want people in there 20's around. I think that the Friendlies location would make an excellent place for a "younger" bar with possibly a DJ........yea yea yea I know its on Wellwood Ave. and therefore too close to homes to have a DJ there right. Well i hate too say it people but this town is really becoming one giant senior housing development (now don't go bashing me about this there is NOTHING wrong with having a place in the community for seniors its actually a great thing i think to have them) But its also wrong to have them dictate the way the village evolves (or doesn't) But from what I'M seeing the village seems to actually WANT to drive the young away by not giving us anything to do.

I'm guessing you're not a homeowner and property taxpayer in Lindenhurst. I am. I have no problem with anyone opening a nightclub in Lindenhurst that caters to your age group. What I do have a problem with is the negative things an establishment like that brings to the residents whose homes and lives would be adversely affected. Lindenhurst has "been there, done that" with bars over the years. In fact, at one time Lindenhurst was listed in the Guiness Book of Records for having the most bars per square mile or something like that. The reason a lot of the bars were shut down was because of noise, fights, litter, etc., etc.

Also, the two sites you mention, the old movie theater and Friendly's BOTH abut residential areas. While YOU may be willing to live next to a bar with music blaring until 3AM and people urinating on your front lawn, most people are not. All along Montauk Highway, property zoned business abuts residential, so this would be the same case there. I blame the poor planning and zoning in Lindenhurst more than anything.

you are correct im not a homeowner here (and oddly enough i was aware of us at one time being in Guinness) and probably never will be on longisland as the prices of homes here are sky high but that is not the fault of the village but if i was i would like yourself be against people urinating on my lawn and music blasting till 3am.......this brings up another topic what kind of crowd in the 20something range do you want to attract not the loud using your lawn as a toilet crowd you would like to have people like myself. You would to be able to have a conversation while still enjoying some recent music(ie not blasting otherwise you couldnt hear yourself or anyone else) a bar that has a live person playing cd's and having a strict code of conduct(there are places like this ive been too them...such as no rowdy crowds or people).I think that it would be acceptable in a residential area there is just such a place in a college town i frequent in upstate NY they have a dress code(shirts with collars etc.)keep the music low and do quite well for themselves with the civilized students in town. Its a place they can go sit talk have a beer and just enjoy themselves. do i honestly ever believe such a place would ever be built here no all im saying is that it would be nice to have such a place somewhere in Lindenhurst.And it wouldn't even have to be in either friendly's or the old theater renovating an existing place would be ok as well i was just using them as an example because they are currently vacant. And on the topic of the theater in my honest opinion it would be nice to keep it as some form of a theater be it performing arts or movie..but i unfortunately know in my heart it will more than likely become yet another pharmacy/cvs type place something we already have plenty of.

Well I find it very interesting that the Republican Party has approached John about taking a trustees seat on the Board wo is going to be resigning. Interesting.

If that happens, I hope that John will not become a party to the "deals" that were, have been and are still to be made.

Did everyone get their invitations to the "Inauguration" set for this Monday evening. Inauguration... didn't know we were crowning a "king" and his court of jesters.

It is so nice to see that nothing has changed. The old mayor has gotten a part time job at the village, 16hrs a week for $30,000.00 plus full benefits... wonder if they will now be offering benefits to ALL part time employees. Just like the village attorney gets his benefits paid for, and he is hired as a consultant. Nice to see that GG gets his large annual fee and does not even have to show up at court. Seems as if the past 4 weeks, he has missed two court appearances... nice job GG.

Oh well, all the campaign promises have already been forgotten, and it is back to business as usually in good old Lindy Village Hall... and here I thought we had possibly had people elected who truly cared.

04-05-2004, 11:27 AM

The former Mayor is going to continue that which she does best...write grants. This is a part time gig 2 days a week but instead of all her other duties, she can concentrate on grant writing.

Tom Brennan was at my door several weeks ago and that's exactly what he told me (he would offer her) when I asked if Lynda was going away for good.

As a matter of fact, he also told me that she wrote over 7 million in grants over the last four years. That's about 1.75 million in revenue for the Village. Guess what, the taxpayers don't have to foot that bill!

It would then seem to me that any monies that she brings in over her salary and benefits, would be a plus to the Village.

I just don't get it. Most people wanted her to run for re-election so this seems like kind of a good thing for everyone!

This wonderful village we live in just needs to be flushed down the toilet so someone new can start all over. Nothing is going to change within the village government. Everything is going to remain being run the same, helping a few of the residents and ignoring the rest. Lynda has always spent most of her time writing grants, why do you think she didn't get anything else done around here. I'm a part-time village employee and I've working for the village longer than Lynda has, I do more work than Lynda, and frankly so do most of the other part time village employees, and none of us get any kind of benefits what so ever. No medical, no paid vacations, no sick leave, and no paid holidays. We don't have any kind of arbitration power when it come to how much we get for our raises (if we even get any). Its not even just the part-timers they treat unfairly, its also the non-union supervisors. And if your not part of the "in" crowd with the administration you'll get one hell of a pathetic raise, while everyone else, who is already making about two or three times your salary get huge raises. So thanks lindy residents for making four more years of my job suck...

Seems that all the lies that the former mayor spewed were just that. She felt that the job of mayor needed to be a full time job, and her $12,000 a year salary was not enough.

Well Village residents, did you know that she has a new job with the village, I believe it is that of a grant writer working 15 hours a week, 780 hours a year and is being paid, $37,500. per year.... more than 3 times her salary as mayor AND she is getting her medical benefit PAID IN FULL. Seems that originally she was going to get $30,000. a year but when the rest of the part time employees started asking questions, since hers is a part time job, they upped her salary to $37,500. to cover the yearly cost of her benefits.... so she can now say she is paying for them.

Also, the other part timers were told they could have benefits it they paid fro them. A nice gesture??? HEll NO! If a part time employee took advantage of that offer, they would OWE the Village money, they don't make enough to cover the cost for a single person, which is $6,000. and a family policy of $7,500. Interesting that amount is how much they raised Lynda's salary by.

Seems that the Village board pulled her appointment from this weeks meeting cause there were soooo many Village employees attending. Not only are they thieves, but they don't have the courage of their convictions to give away the farm when people are around.

Also, one should ask about Lynda and Doug's new mahogany desks and the one for Lynda's assistant. Since when does a part time employee need a assistant?

Also, why was there a liquor truck delivering cases of vodka and other liquors to village Hall 2 weeks ago?????

Things won't change here residents and anyone who voted the Republican ticket you are the ones to blame. You let this thieving Village and the Republican cronies get away with robbing the residents.

I hope that you are all proud of yourselves. Mayor Brennan and his new cronie trustees you all should be taken to the wood shed and whipped!

Lynda Distler has a new $

04-22-2004, 10:40 AM

If Distler recoups her salary in grant money, then she is worth it. If not, she should be gone by this time next year.

On a brighter note, how about a round of applause for the sanitation men in the village who work hard at their job. My guys are on time, courteous, neat and efficient. At least some people work for their check in this village! Thanks guys, some of us do appreciate your efforts.

What's the deal with parking in Lindenhurst? I have a neighbor who lives across the street, not directly across. They park both their car and truck in front of my house daily, the truck hasn't moved for weeks and it's a piece of junk. The big deal is that they have a double driveway that goes all the way back, w/ 2 cars and a van already in it and nobody ever parks in the front of their house, including them. Not only that, but they use my driveway as a turning point to go from their house to park in front of mine. Any time I have company, even our Uncle who was handicapped had to walk up the block. So, what can I do about this? :">

A little-known and rarely enforced statute is that there is NO overnight parking on the streets of Lindenhurst. Yes, if you call it in your neighbors will get very upset. But if you check, as I did, you will find the law still on the books. Amityville has the same law, but they are smart enough to enforce it. Lindenhurst need the money from illegal rentals, so they don't seem to care about the illegal parking.

3. when are the roads going to get repaired, the pot holes are terrible, and winter will be here soon again?

4. how much has the ex-mayor brought into the Village so far with the grants that she is writing?

5. what is happening with the new District Court that is coming by Waldbaums?

6. how is the soil that was contaminated by the former user of the property going to be cleaned up?

7. when is the Village going to stop taking monies from the fire department so they can do their jobs correctly?

If anyone has these answers, please share them. When the Village is contacted all you get is some "fancy footwork" by the mayor, trustees and administrator.

I don't know if you're serious about your contention that we're paying the mayor "big bucks", but the salary pays about 10K per year and therefore the position is only considered to be part time. As it is, the village is getting a pretty good return on its 10K with the effort being put in by our mayor.

RealConservative

08-18-2004, 02:51 PM

First of all, "unregistered", you can't even put two coherent and grammatically correct sentences together. You have no credibility when you don't even make sense.

As far as the Mayor is concerned, he does a damn good job. He is in Village Hall quite a lot. I know because I have spoken to him there several times. He is very accessible! When he is not, he is at his job at the funeral home across the street. Which is great because he can be called to a meeting or emergency at a moments notice!

Secondly, it is a part time job of $12,000 per year and he is doing it well. We residents were spoiled by having Mayor Distler there in Village Hall, full time at a part-time price. That was great but it didn't make economic sense for her nor anyone else in that position.

Also, let me remind you that if you attended any local functions or events, you would notice that there are Village Board members are at EVERY one of these functions. I always see at least two Trustees and the Mayor at an event. It is often that both the Village Administrator and the Deputy Administrator are also in attendance.

But again, these are part-time positions. I know for a fact that with the exception of Mrs. Tanner, (who is retired and still does a lot of work) each of the other Board Members has a full time job!

I think that it is amazing that they find time to do all that they do. It's not just attending Village Board meetings but being at the various clubs and events. There are also committee meetings on various projects (like the 9-11 Memorial, etc.) as well as Fire Department and Senior Citizens functions.

These folks are also out in the community speaking to residents like me! Once again I know that they are doing that because two of them have come to my house recently!

They are very nice, hardworking and polite people! We should be very proud of them because they are trying to do the right thing!

It is also obvious that you dislike the Fire Department and the School District. This is not the place to discuss either topic as there are other places on this message board to do so. But since you brought it up, let's talk about those issues.

The use of a vehicle by a Chief is common in all Volunteer FDs. It is a small price to pay for the hours of service that they give the community. How would you like to answer a call at 3 am and still have to go to work a few hours later! These people ask not for anything in return and I for one have no problem with them!

As far as the schools...go to a School Board Meeting and vent to the BOE. The Village Government has nothing to do with the school district.

I could not sit by and not address the idiotic comments made by unregistered. I have very silent on this message board (for nearly a year now) since I have been recovering from an illness! It is the folks in the Lindenhurst Rescue that saved my life...I owe them!!!!

Thank you,

The official website for Lindenhurst is apparently still under construction. I think a good idea for the website would be a complaint form for village residents to report code violations and other problems of concern to village residents. Complaints could be made anonymously or by leaving contact information. Violations could be reported directly to code enforcement and/or the mayor. I think this would be a big improvement over the present system where callers have to listen to an answering machine. I don't know if something like this is planned, but it would be an easy way for residents to communicate with village officials without tying up phone lines and village clerks time.

The mayor doing a good job? Are you kidding? You must be part of the inner circle. Lets talk about the good things he has done. He downzoned Werners parking lot from residential to commercial against the wishes of about 100 residents who went to the Village Board Meeting. Why would he do this? It can't be because he works for Werner and he's his buddy? He pacified everyone with the notion that A&W/Long John Silvers was going to be constructed there.( As if a fast food restaurant is going to enhance the village) Well, Guess what? It's not a done deal. Werner wants 1 million 2 and was not offered that so now that deal is off and anything can go on that property since it's now commercial. In addition, they now have to downzone the Theater or else face a lawsuit. I'm sure we'll get yet another Drug Store. OOH! That will certainly attract people to the Village. And finally, Doug Madlon recently stated that the Friendlys is soon to be a 7/11. His words were "Something has to go there" With the courthouse coming soon, we're really setting our expectations for this Village at an all time low. Its very sad, because this Village had a lot of potential. It would be nice to see it on a par with other south shore communities. The leaders we have now have no vision and I'm afraid its going down and is going to continue going down. One more thing, concerning slum lords, has anyone on this site taken a drive down South Bay street to see the Village property that we paid for with our tax dollars?

Santa Claus

08-21-2004, 11:36 AM

Hey "not-so-nice-lindy," people like you amaze me!

The house on South Bay Street was purchased at a low price (as an estate sale) and can be sold at an excellent profit or turned into a park,etc. should the Village Government deem reasonable.

How the hell can you compare a real slum lord to a Government who takes a depressed property off the tax roll with intentions of improving it! Is Mr. Parthay improving his property? We know the answer to that. But I'll bet that you are one of his inner circle. The type of village idiot who just might be making certain issues...dare I say it...political????

It's obvious that no matter what these folks in Village Hall do, you will always oppose them! At least be honest enough to say so. I'd have more respect for you knowing it's just politics!

One of the previous posts said that these people (I assume they mean the Mayor and the Trustees) are nice people. I have had the occasion to meet the Mayor in a business setting, as he is a Funeral Director.

A more decent and compassionate man, you will not meet. I do not personally know the Trustees, however, I believe that they are probably decent folks themselves.

WOW! I must have really hit the wrong button on you. In the future, could you please refrain from obscene language and name calling? I don't recall writing like that in my posting. Now, #! I don't feel that spending $200,000 of my tax money on house that has sat abandoned and "slumlike" for at least 2 years is reasonable. And generally at estate sales, a family of 6 who was willing to buy the house does not get evicted. We do not need another park adjacent to the Shore Rd. park, at least not for that amount of money. In addition, the Village really cannot sell it at an elevated price since they are not in the real estate business and there could be problems with ethics. So, I feel it was a huge waste of money and a waste that nobody in the Village is aware of. Also, I never stated that I approved of Ed Parthay having a rundown property. I do not. I would like him to remove the crane & fix up the property. But, that does not make what the Village did okay. The Village has to answer to the residents, Ed Parthay doesn't necessarily have to. Also, I never said that Tom was not a nice guy. I have met him hundreds of times. Being nice does not guarantee that you will do a good job. If you are so informed, how could you not know the trustees? Two of them of have had their positions for at least 10 years. And come on, of course Tom will be nice in a business setting, you're paying him.

Listen, nicelindy, I don't see where I used obscene language on my posts. It's not nice for Santa to curse, ho, ho, ho!

If making a statement that politics might be a play here was obscene, then I am confused.

I do apologize for hurting your feelings if that is what I did. That was not my intention. And furthermore, if you have confused me as well that too was not my intention.

I was merely frustrated at the attempts to attack a man who has not been in office very long. I also know that the land purchase on South Bay Street was before the current "mayor" took office. Yes, I know he was a trustee during that vote, but it is far different than making a mayoral decision. He, too, may not have had all the facts.

Anyway, let's call a truce. I don't want to offend anyone. Perhaps in a moment of angst, I stepped over the line.

Please accept my apology with the hope that we can exchange ideas in the future without using pejoratives.

Apology accepted. I was not offended by being called political. I truly did not understand that statement. I was merely speaking the truth as I saw it. I found your four letter word and being called an "idiot" offensive. But, I will wave the white flag also.
I know that the land deal was not Toms brainchild. Unfortunately, in politics you inherit previous administrations mistakes and are called to task to clean them up. I don't see that being done. In fact, nobody even wants to talk about it. Also, when he was a trustee, he voted yes for the deal.

In the spirit of the truce, I will honestly state that there are some things which the Village does well. I love the lights on Wellwood Ave. I think they're beautiful. In addition, I approve of the 9/11 memorial and the fundraiser set for this coming weekend.

I would like to see a new direction set on the vacant properties in the Village. How about a nice family restaurant at Werners? Applebees in No. Lindy does great! Or, how about a nice coffee shop at Friendlys? Something along the lines of the Babylon Bean? These are ideas which could really enhance the Village.

the only reason the mayor and trustees are at these events are for the free food and the free press. they should be at village hall doing there job. if they know what that is!!!! i don't need to see their pictures in the south bay i need to see them at village hall!!!!!!! i'm sure when people voted for them it was not to see them at all these functions but to see them at village hall!!!! have i made myself clear?

perhaps i work at night or perhaps i am just wealthy. the fact is it's none of your business. stop name calling and give me some positive reasons why you love this town.i have lived here a long time and have seen this town fall apart bit by bit. look around what do you see empty stores, boarded up buildings (Werner's, the theater) flower beds full of weeds. i moved here because i loved the quaintness of this town. now all we have to look forward to is a district court and 7-eleven. establishments i do not plan to visit.open your eyes and look around. it is true that the best man did not win this election but i had hopes that the mayor would see the light and listen to all the people of this town and make it the great town it once was. i hope you do't have children because there memories will only be of vagrants from the court hanging around the gazebo and 7-eleven. i am so glad i live far enough away that i won't be directly affected.oh and if your wondering, since you want to know my personal business, i plan to move in the near future.it's not about politics but about the quality of life. i am not sure how much you know but i think you need to be a little more informed.

To your greatness, you really shouldn't make assumptions about people and where and when they're writing, It's really quite childish. You do know what happens when you assume. Obviously graytown is frustrated with the condition of the village and the direction it is going in, as are many other residents. I didn't read any evidence that Lindys still great in your posting. Please enhance me. I fail to see how the downzoning of Werners for a good buddy is going to make Lindy great. Or, a 7/11 at Friendlys. Or, how about a new twist, those yucky signs hanging in the windows of the building on the corner of John St. and Wellwood Ave.? I feel like I'm in Queens every time I drive past it. I know this was discussed over a year ago at a Village Board meeting and they still haven't done anything about it. It goes right back to where they're setting the level of their standards. Quite low from my perspective.

You can spout your political rhetoric about who won and who lost all you want. It doesn't change the fact that we all have to suffer the outcome.

do we need a district court in this village? like a hole in the head this is just another attempt for the village to have a meeting place so that all the code enforcement tickets can be added up. too bad that they have nothing better to do then issue tickets to the people that are paying their salaries. but just like everywhere else in the world--- it's who you know ---if you are part of the "inner circle' of employees or friends you can do no wrong-- i wish i had the time and money to be able to socialize with these people.

I didn't know that degenerates brought their dry cleaning with them when going to court. I hope everyone likes the way the gazebo looks now because its not going to be like that much longer. Where do you think these "people" are going to hang out while waiting for the bus, train or taxi? Of course, they could always walk straight down through the village to the 7/11.

I know that Venetian Shores is Babylon Town, but I've heard a rumor that they plan on putting a Water Park, like Splish Splash there. I am assuming this is just a rumor, because I can not even picture it. Instead of cleaning the beach up, the would have to somehow block off the water, maybe like by Atlantis Marine World. Then we would have constant traffic, especially from June - September on Montauk Highway. Of course it would be the closest Water Park to anyone living in NY from Manhattan all the way onto Brentwood. I'm sure the groups of teens who go to the park would love the new Long John Silvers to stop and eat at.
We would lose our Shore Road Park. Just think of all the Soccer, Football and Baseball teams with nowhere to play anymore.
Lindenhurst used to be loved for many reasons. One was for it's closeness to the Ocean. Why don't taxpayers get to vote on big decisions like 7-11's being put up your block and District Courts. We may as well all move to Mineola or West Hempstead. Lindenhurst is quickly going to look just like West Hempstead if this District Court opens and 7-11.
And as for the idea of a Water Park. Even if they think it would bring in money to the town of Babylon, maybe they should think about how beautiful the area surrounding Atlantic City is. Luckily Trump originally said it was being put there to bring money and beautify the neighborhood.
I just don't get it anymore. Where is everyones' minds, what are their perogatives?
And as for code enforcement in the Village, I do agree with those of you who are saying that tickets are only given to certain people, while others can do whatever they please. In the past I had to get something off my property, while a neighbor down the block has the exact same thing. I even called and questioned it, but it never changed. Then I drove around and saw many people with the same thing as I had to sadly give up. I can not be specific, but I am sure everyone on this site knows that Lindenhurst Village Code Enforcement does not enforce the village code to all.
Yes, I know my grammar is horrible in this letter, so please no comments. I've been working all day and it's now after 10. Sorry, if I am in a rush to get my thoughts out.

To Mr. Know it All, You don't actually want a water park at Venetian Shores do you? It's hard to tell what you want from your posting. You seem upset that someone from that area has the political clout and friends in high places that would scuttle the idea. I for one, am happy. I do not want a water park ( even if it is probably just a rumor). Too bad we don't have someone in the Village that would be able to scuttle their asinine ideas. What I do see in your posting, is alot of anger management problems and homophobic tendencies. You need to take care of that. Perhaps some good psychiatric care? Then maybe you would be able to converse in an intelligent manner.

The problem here, not in Lindy, but on this site; is that there are too many nuts getting off the topic of Lindenhurst and arguing with each other. You don't even know each other. I am honestly assuming that at least DAG is no more the 23 years old, still a kid, no understanding of problems, taxes or community yet. In a few years when DAG has a family and kids and a house of his own his posts will change. This site is not for arguing back and forth about nothing. Just ignore the posts that are not worth your time.
I for one, would like to know if anybody knows about that Water Park or District Court. Or why code enforcement gets away with spot picking who they will summons or pick on.
And Dag, don't decide that cause somebody likes ice cream they are a big woman, or however you referred to them. If you took a poll, I would bet you that lots of people who are thin like ice cream and that a nice ice cream place is a great family place to stop by at night. Though I am figuring that 7-11 is more in your line. Not that my family doesn't use the convenience of the 7-11 on Greene Ave. when we are out of milk at night. Which also brings to thought, who needs 2 7-11's in Lindenhurst. Even if one isn't considered to be in the so called "Village".
Did anyone ever notice that our Village taxes pay for all the kids in Lindenhurst to go to camp at Kienle, not only the kids in the village?
Think about that.

Obviously you can read, too bad you can't write or spell correctly or for that matter converse intelligently. I thought Lynbrook schools were good?

Lindynuts, I agree with you 100%. I don't know anything about a water park. I do know that the district court is coming. Its being constructed next to Waldbaums in an old factory building. They're also using the space where JVP termite used to be. I say used to because the Village condemned the building and kicked out the owners that had been established there for many, many years. They spent $300,000 and took the building as eminent domain. You would have to check with the Village as to whether the taxpayers received that money back. As far as code enforcement goes, all I know is that if you know someone, you never get ticketed. If you don't know anyone, they'll nickle and dime you to death. I think there is alot of patronage and possibly corruption in old Village Hall.

this will be the last time i address you and your degrading remarks. as i told you before, you need to be on a website for lonely people, angry people and trashy people. this site has no place for you. if you are what this administration draws to this neighborhood we are in bigger trouble than i had recently thought.

to lindynuts, even though the administrations officials have told people about the 7-eleven and the court house the fact is when they are approached by THEIR voters they pull the "I NEVER HEARD ABOUT THAT"ROUTINE. as for the water park. that is the town of babylon and i guess they figure that lindenhurst is already going to hell and the residents and town officials don't care, so why not put a water park here to generate some money for the town. don't even try to protest it. i have seen first hand that when the village board has made up their mind, they do not care who comes or how many people come to a meeting, they will still do as they please. after all they say that we voted for them to speak for us. what a shame. look what happened to werners. everyone was told that it was going to be a long john silvers and an AW. well as soon as they received their zoning change , werner's wanted more money and the deal is now off. so we can only guess what will go there. perhaps a city jail. what we need to do is start spreading the word to the uninformed that lindenhurst needs a change as soon as possible. we need to get people in office that are a step up from the slugs we have in there now. we need all the luck we can get. i will ask around about the water park and try to get some real answers.

i understand your frustrations about this village, but if we continue to have this administration in office we are truly doomed. this last election proved that the people in lindenhurst are so busy and uninformed that they made the wrong decision about whom they put in office. the best thing to do is keep you home and block looking nice. before the next election we need to get people to some of these board meetings and see what a circus it is. hopefully this will make them realize that although they are busy, they also would want a great place for their children and others children to enjoy and experience. i also have a question for anyone who belongs to the lindenhurst beautification society, what are you guys allowed to do other than raising money?

I think most of you are missing the point. It's "Revenue" Ladies. "REVENUE". The water park not only brings families together, but it will bring people to our town. And it will bring people with money to spend. It should be open by Thanksgiving, if we could get a favorable vote soon, and Thanksgiving is when the college kids come back from school and spend time with there families, PEOPLES! Wake up! This will lower propety taxes for all of us.
As far as 7-11. We need another on have you tasted the fantastic coffee they serve. I don't always agree with DAG$$, but he's got it right. Lindenhurst has great coffee because of 7-11. Nice lady may be too good to stop at a 7--11 for anything other than late night milk, but who wants to "showy" like her.

Graytown, have you lost your mind? You have gotta be connected somehow to a village official or one yourself.
A Waterpark will for sure bring the kids from College, and H.S. and the trash and of course the families. It will bring them to the park and then they will go straight home to dry. If you go to Splish Splash do you stop on the way to shop in the stores in Riverhead, come on be for real. Even if you do, a bag of chips and a soda isn't going to make anyone rich, evey if everyone at the waterpark stopped to buy one. And as for bringing down our taxes. Name one Village, Town or State that has for any reason had their taxes lowered. Don't be ridiculous. Maybe stay the same, but not lowered. And if somewhere out there you can name one, this would never happen here. We have endless work to do and the money would be going to the Town. North Lindy will get it's roads and us suckers paying extra taxes for lazy garbage men who won't pick up heavy cans and code enforcement that shouldn't be.
A Waterpark will bring more garbage, flying around, coming from cars and more traffic on Montauk Highway.
I'm not saying if it was there we wouldn't go, yes it would be convenient. But I am saying that it is not going to help Lindenhurst, only make it worst.
And as for good coffee. The only place w/ good coffee in Lindenhurst, happens to be the Friendly Deli, which sits all by it's lonesome on Deleware. Been over there lately, Deleware Ave. looks like a total s##$.hole over there. Man, that area, by Hoffman looks more and more like Brooklyn every day.
We need another 7-11 like we need another drug store. Not at all. Why don't they just knock the building down and make a parking lot, there's never parking over there. They can charge $5 an hour. Then it will be just like being in Manhattan. May as well. Everything else has gone to sh@#.
Honestly, obviously no good worthwhile franchises or store owners are looking to find a spot in Lindenhurst Village. That alone should tell them something down at Villy Hall. They can't find somebody to take the theatre, Werners, Friendly's -for 2 years now. Nobody wants to be in Lindenhurst, why do they think? Notice that a new Friendly's opened down the road on Montauk Hwy, right in Copiague. 7-11's will open anywhere that they can and when it does all the little shops left around it will go out. Because they sell a bit of everything and it's convenience. Then we will have all of those stores to fill in. Just like the 2nd kids play place that opened up on Wellwood. Tiny Tots will either go, or they will, whats it kiddoodles? How could both possibly stay within 2 blocks of each other, when the first could barely survive.
That's all I gotta say.
And I hope you know that your full of it, cause your only fooling yourself. Taxes lowered, good for business. give it a break!!

Lindys still great

09-01-2004, 11:37 AM

It's is becoming more increasingly obvious that some of you people such as gray town and nice lindy are just against the folks in Village Hall!

From what I recall, the Mayor and the two new Trustees were only elected in March. It appears that there are some very unfair attacks made on these people. You have to give them some time to make changes. Are you even getting in touch with them to let them know how you feel about certain things? Maybe they would be willing to listen if they were brought to their attention in a manner that is not adversarial.

I have been at several Village Board meetings and while I may not agree with all of the decisions made (over my ten or so years of watching this government), to call it a circus is ridiculous. (Have you ever been to a Town of Babylon or Suffolk County Legislature Meeting...those meetings are circuses)!

Are you folks also trying to say that no progress has occurred in this Village for the last 6 or 7 years? Come on, there have been major improvements including the downtown area. Let's face it though, many of the landlords and businesses have got to do their part as well!

They must learn to keep their storefronts clean and try to beautify them with some paint, new signs, etc.

There is only so much that the Village can enforce upon them. I am a former law enforcement officer and I can tell you that sometimes you can keep summonsing someone over and over and over and it's still not enough. Sometimes when you get them to court, they pay a fine and go away until there next offense. And it's not like you can increase the fine or penalty since the law doesn't allow it.

It can be very frustrating to an official who tries to fight the system.

Instead of playing politics because the people you wanted to win didn't, maybe you should at least reach out to these new officials and try to speak to them. I'm sure that they would not be against that!

I have nothing against the newly elected officials, even though they've had 6 months and absolutely nothings changed. And they do happen to be from the same party as the old Village officials. And were endorsed by the old Mayor herself, who during her term had also not changed any of the forementioned problems on this site.
And you know that if anybody was to go to complain or voice and unhappy opinion of any type, that it would just be laughed at as they left the room. Because the clique in office would rather do anything but take advice from someone outside of their circle. Why can't they take ideas anonomously? Just for that reason. Come on now, be for real.

This forum is supposed to be to talk about what going on in Lindenhurst Village. At this point it's turning into one of those ridiculous, rambling, obnoxious, nonsense chatrooms.
So much to say about people you probably don't even know or relate to. And very few things to say about anything that matters. And if anything is put up against something that was said about the Village Reps, there are hardly any arguments. Obviously since they know that it's true. The problem is, if they are really in it to make the village better, then why not start now. Do something good for others, besides just for yourselves. Everyone is in it only for themselves these days. It doesn't matter if we are talking about a small village or the whole USA. There are no more President Lincoln's or Kennedy's - only men who appear big in a suit and made their way up through people they know. And that is what the world is coming to, so why would this little Village inside of a Town, inside of a County, inside of a State be any different. Just sit back all and watch this world go from what our grandparents called great to ...: shame on everyone who does only for themselves and those closest to them - but takes a position that should be doing for all.

Wrong,Wrong, and wrong again. I wouldn't be against the administrators of the Village if I had faith that they would do what is right. Unfortunately, that is not the case. You say you've been to board meetings, then you know what is happening here. When you voice an opinion in a non-adversarial manner, it basically gets laughed at and they proceed with the path that they were pre-determined to take. You say, give them time to make changes? What changes? They ran on a platform of doing nothing and that is exactly what they are doing. With the exception of Werners of course. I don't feel that there have been major changes in commerce. Please tell me where you shop? Is it in the village? Probably not. Except if your going to get your nails done, take a karate class or buy a pizza. They can do more and that is exactly what they should do and its what they were voted in to do. Again, I don't have faith in them. For many years I have watched how they do business. Tom, Carol, Kevin and Mike have all been involved in the Village political scene for many years and know very well how it works. Its a pity if they can't get the businesses to do their part. Why should they? Look at the rest of the Village. It looks dirty and depressing. Get some reputable business in and that will change. People will be able to take pride in their Village and frequent the stores. I'm sure more people would reach out more to the Village, unfortunately you get tired of getting your hand slapped.

I can take a hint gentlemen. I will leave the board now, forever. Merve (with the learning curve) was the last straw.
BYE_BYE,

to lindysstillgreat...i have gone to meetings to voice my opinion. they just don't care. they hear but they don't listen. and although the MAYOR has just taken over office, he has been the deputy mayor for years. he should know the ropes. and as for the two new trustees. they are just puppets like the two old trustees. get real and get some brains.

forget about banning the dag. the administration only bans people who say the truth about them. remember greytown? well he was banned by the administration. guess he hit a bad nerve in this town by telling the truth and questioning their goings on. :oops:

Hey Moron,

The Village Administration doesn't control this message board if that's what you mean (and judging by your demeanor, I'm sure that's what you mean).

If you've been on this Forum before, you'll notice that the layout and format have changed. Many other posts have been lost in all Forums.

Nice try genious. Maybe you should e-mail so that he can tell you that it was a technical problem. That is if you have the mental capacity to understand that.

PS Get a life!

Do you think it is possible to get past the name calling and back stapping, and get on to some of the serious issues that we have here in Lindy? My mother always told me, "if you can't say anything nice about someone, don't say aything at all".

This new administration has, in my opinion, done nothing to make any changes or improvements since they took over 10 months ago. Has anyone seen something change that I have not?

The only exceotion is the new garden/seating being done in the parking lot at Mr. G's, and I do believe that was stated as an Eagle Scout project.

First of all, Hopeful in Lindy, what is "back stapping?"

Serious issues that we have here in Lindy? There are serious issues in Southeast Asia but I hardly consider anything here "serious."

My mother used to spell correctly...what is "aything at all." Your serious issues is the inability to use spellcheck.

"This new administration has in my opinion, done nothing to make any changes or improvements since they took over 10 months ago. Has anyone seen something change that I have not?"

We finally agree on something.. YOU'RE RIGHT IT'S YOUR OPINION!
I suppose that the long awaited repair of Frank Street, N. Clinton Ave., Albert Street, N. Strongs Ave., NY Ave, etc. are nothing.

These roads were 20 years overdue. They have been repaired and the folks in Village Hall told me these is more to follow this spring.

The repair of Weckerle Park off N. 9th is also nothing. Those concrete things (that were for the kids) have been removed for a small jungle gym. Also, a gate that residents have asked for for 15 years was finally put in as well as a new stop sign at W. John and 8th St. A constant place for accidents.

There have been several other stop signs which were put in that previous administrations didn't feel were necessary. I know because I live near the one at Cedar/Liberty/Hickory Streets. It was put in only weeks after I spoke to the new Mayor in May! That's what I call responsive!

You said, "The only exceotion(sic) is the new garden/seating being done in the parking lot at Mr. G's, and I do believe that was stated as an Eagle Scout project." Wrong again. The Eagle Scout project was at the back of the parking lot. The new brick project was the result of a grant from the Suffolk County Legislator. It also languished for nearly a year and a half before something was finally done. The money was going to run out according to one of Village Trustees. He and another fellow Board Member went to the Beautification folks who had the grant and helped push the project along before the end of the year.

Again, I don't get it. I realize that these Board Members are not prefect but these folks are a part time board. They seem to put in a lot of hours anyway.

Since I'm a taxpayer, I felt it my duty to ask questions directly to them, not listen to people who hide behind a message board on a computer. These people are VERY ACCESSIBILE. Every time that I call, I get a response within a day or two.

I was even told that some of the archaic Village Codes are being re-written to take us to the 21st Century.

If you have a problem, try addressing these people directly. Youmight be surprised at their repsonses!

Oh, and just for the record...I had only know the Mayor before I knew anyone else on the board. He was the only person that I had any previous contact with in the past (he wasn't even a Trustee at that time).

Since he and his associates have been elected, I have gotten to meet all 5 members of the Board. They are actually nice people!

Well taxpayer Mom, thank you for pointing out my typos.... I am sorry that I am not "perfect" like you... you need an attitude adjustment.

All of those wonderful things you mentioned, for the most part, were started by the previous administration. Nice try though.

P.S. just where is the spell check on this new board?

wonder who that can be, MISS LD?

Unreal. Republican's eating their own.

Yeah it might be nice to see them take credit for something new or real. Amazing, you run saying you are going to do the job, and then when you do the bare mininum to get by....you want to be praised for it.

This ain't kindergarten boys - do the job, do it well, or leave.

Excuses are for @$$holes, everyones got one, and most stink.

"Yeah it might be nice to see them take credit for something new or real. Amazing, you run saying you are going to do the job, and then when you do the bare mininum to get by....you want to be praised for it." What in the hell does that gibberish mean (it's not even correct English)?

I don't think that even you understand what you that paragraph means. Nobody has asked for any praise for anything. I don't even know if the Village Officials even waste their time reading the nonsense on this website. Maybe you should follow the posts leading up to this one to see the kind of foolish things that have been said criticizing people who are trying to do some good.

And for the record, the statements that I made in a posting last week are correct. You can check the timelines regarding the projects described and when the funding was set up if you are willing to take the time to investigate the truth. Especially, check the roadwork projects. They were initiated only after Federal funds were secured to augment the other money budgeted for the roadwork in June.

So it's me that should say, "Nice try though." Don't get me wrong, the previous Mayor was fantastic. I am in no way demeaning her accomplishments. She had many. But these have been things done recently that she had nothing to do with, although she had did fix roads, create the parking lot on 35th Street and raise many homes south of Montauk Hwy.

There are obviously some people who are trying to pit the previous administation against the new one. I know almost of the parties and I can tell you that they are all close friends. They see themselves as all a part of a team which is looking to improve things for the residents.

Don't be critical unless you can point out a significant deficiency in the Administration's plans or accomplishments or are these comments purely political in nature?

I am not quite sure what you are trying to say in this sentence, except that the parties are friends. Were you trying to say that you "know almost all of them" :?: :?

Taxpayer Mom

My bad. I was torn between saying that I know "most" of them vs. "all" of them. In other words, I have made the acquaintance of each of the previous and new board members, but I am somewhat friendly with "most" of them.

I know, here I was criticizing someone's English and I myself was careless.

Hopefully, that should clear things up a bit!

Although I don't know the details, it's my understanding that he is in serious but stable condition in the hospital. The long term prognosis is still unknown.

Whatever his reasons, right now, he needs our prayers!

After I posted this morning, I called to see how he was doing. I'm so sorry!

Maybe it's time for me to go and say a few prayers for his family. Perhaps you're right, I must have looked like a know it all, but in this case I really didn't...did I?

taxpayer mom, i figured it out! your tom brennens wife. it must be! who else would defend this administration so. i can bet you that after you speak with him and you turn around to walk away that you might hear laughter comming from the mayor and his gang. they know that those fools who defend them are exactly what they are....fools. they have tricked you. beware :twisted: they tell you what you want to hear and they yes you to death and then they go on with there merry business like they never heard a thing you said. and as for a part time job!! no one forced them to run for these positions. what did they expect...all the perks for nothing. they chose to do this, so now they must do it right or leave.
