Seems that when I wrote about the United Way benefit the other evening called “Way Off Broadway,” I inadvertently overlooked a mention of the act just ahead of the Rockland Idles, of which I was part.

Actually, Jeff Keahon was getting us thinking we were out of our comfort zone, which wasn’t very comfortable to begin [...]

I’m going to be heading to Montebello soon and I’m dreading the trip because of my experience yesterday trying to get to Rockland Community College from West Nyack.

Having lived in Suffern until about a year ago, my car can find itself to the Airmont Road exit on the Thruway.

I left the parking lot at The [...]

Not a big fan of “Jeopardy”? Seen “Men in Black” so often you can recite Will Smith’s lines? “Survivor” taken on a different meaning in these economically trying times?

Try the alternative to TV this evening and come watch me humiliate myself – along with a troupe of others – to benefit United Way of Rockland [...]

I’ve always loved Suffern and would love to see it really thrive as a retail center for the western part of Ramapo and Rockland. That’s why I think the village administration is making a mistake scaling back a proposed urban renewal condominium project.

Actually, the original plan has been sliced and diced and the newest version [...]

It’s bad enough telemarketers drove me so nuts at home that I’ve gone cellular only.

Of course, that didn’t keep them from finding out my cell phone number and bothering me on that line.

But now they’ve invaded my last refuge—my line at work.

Sure, I’d get a call once in a while offering something or other, but [...]

Tomorrow afternoon at 1 p.m. it will be my pleasure to introduce the winners in this year’s Honor Our Heroes program, sponsored by The Journal News/LoHud.com, Group M marketing and the Palisades Center in West Nyack.

The ceremony will take place in the Palisades Center mall courtyard outside J.C. Penney at 1 p.m.

Ten honorees from Rockland [...]

No, not in terms of political bent.

I’m just looking at the races to the right of presidential slot on the ballot in Rockland and whether voters worked their way down the line.

Consider that there were 65,143 votes cast for the Obama-Biden ticket and 58,199 for the McCain-Palin ticket.  That’s 123,342 votes out of 124,166 cast [...]

Officials from the three entities studying the future of the Tappan Zee Bridge—the state Department of Transportation, the Thruway Authority and Metro-North Railroad—were impressed by yesterday’s turnout for information meetings at Rockland Community College.

It was far heavier, they said, than that the previous day in Westchester. In fact, more individuals spoke at the conclusion of [...]

We all know that on wet, rainy days we need to take it slow on the roads because rain lifts oils from the pavement creating a slippery surface. To make matters worse this time of year, we’ve got to factor in fallen leaves, which can be as treacherous as ice in winter.

That’s fine for [...]

Just got a bubbly call from my youngest daughter, Kelly, a journalism major at West Virginia University.

Kelly was exploding with enthusiasm because she had just been to the post office in Morgantown.

“I just voted. I’m so excited,” she blurted out. It’s her first presidential vote.

She’s a little disappointed to have to make it by absentee [...]
