Each Week People Write In And Complain About Many Things In Cheektowaga. It Is Time To Start Being Grateful That We Live In This Town. I Have Lived Many Other Places And If I Had To Move, I Would Move To Another Location Right Here In Cheektowaga. We Have Excellent Fire And Police Protection. The Location Is Convenient To Anything In Western New York. The Shopping Is Great. People Are Generally Very Friendly. We Have Good Community Services. Perhaps If We Concentrated More On The Positive, We Would Solve Some Of The Problems That Are So Often Listed In This Column. I Am Grateful For Good Neighbors. Sure There Can Be Problems, But Overall, Let's Let People Know That Cheektowaga Is A Really Good Place To Live.

A Doctors Point Of View On Healthcare Reform
- East Amherst
- Posted by:Stash
Many Years Ago I Left My Country,poland.as A Medical Doctor I Spent Half Of My Time Fighting The Government On Behalf Of My Patients. Care In Poland Was Rationed By The Government And Age Dependant. If You Were Young You Would Recieve The Most Care. If You Were Old Most Treatments Were Denied By The Government. I Saw Too Many Senior Citizens Suffer Needlessly And Many Families Hurt Watching A Beloved Granma Or Granpa Suffer Needlessly. You See Poland Has Socialized Medicine As Well As Germany. Germany Has Had Socialized Medicine For Nearly 145 Years. German Citizens Have Also Seen Higher Taxes And Services Cut. Finually Germany Is Going Bankruppt From Healthcare And The Government Now Realizes That They Must Return To A "free Market" System In Order To Avoid Total Collapse.unfortunately My Homeland Poland Still Has Socialized Medicine.senator Baucus Bill Will Add 10 Million People To Medicaid. The Federal Government Will Pass This Responsibility On To The States Forcing All To Have Taxes On Both Federal And State Level Increase. Drug Companies Will Not Be Allowed To Make A Profit And This Will Prevent Much Needed Developement Of New And Improved Medicine.all Citizens Will Face Mandated Carewhich Gives Doctors A So Called "budget"and If The Doctor Exceeds His "budget" He Will Face Fines.if A Doctor Gives A Patient Too Many Tests To Learn What Is Wrong And How To Treat The Patient He Will Also Be Fined Under The Baucus Bill.i Urge Strongly That Every Citizen Please Talk To Your Own Doctor. Ask Him Or Her What He Or She Thinks Of This So Called Healthcare Reform.a Recent Survey Shows That 54% Oppose The Bills And A Mere 35% Approve Of The Bills. It Is Merely The Government Seeking To Reform Or Transform A World Class Healthcare System. While It May Not Be Perfect It Is The Best In The World.congress Has No Idea How To Practice Medicine So Why Are They Making Healthcare Decisions That Will Effect The Lives Of All Americans? We Need To Stand Up And Ask "who Will Pay For This Bill?"440 Billion Dollars Will Be Taken Away From Medicare And Seniors Will Suffer The Most. In Poland And Germany Health Insurance Premiums Rose By 40% And Under The Baucus Bill You Will See That Type Of Increase In America Too.the Government Is Trying To "bribe" Doctors To 'go Along" With Reform By Offering To Pay Student Loans Off In Exchange For 10 Years Of Loyal Service To The Government Under The Baucus Bill.the Cbo Estimates The True Cost Of Reform Over 10 Years To Cost 3 Trillion Dollars. The Seiu Is Involved And Stands To Benefit Huge If The Bill Passes. Unfortunately Its The Doctors And Patients That Will Loose The Most Should This Pass. Did I Mention The Huge Tax Increases We All Will Face? For Example I Offer Full Healthcare To All 10 Of My Staff. This Costs Approximately $125,000.00 Per Year. Under The Baucus Bill I Will Have To Pay An Additional Tax On Those Benefits Of 40% Or $50,000.00. What Do I Do? Layoff Staff? Cut Benefits? All Business Owners Will Have Tough Decisions To Make And It Will Not Be Good.i Urge You To All Write And Call Charles Schumer, Kristine Gilabrand, And Brian Higgins And Tell Them To Vote "no" On Healthcare Reform Or You Will Not Be Voteing For Them Next Election.

Town Supervisor Giza Threatens Citizenry
- Town of Lancaster
- Posted by:Georgia schlager
At The November 2 Town Board Work Session, Supervisor Giza Stated, “if I Ever Find Out Anyone Ever Started A Rumor About Me, You Better Leave Town”. This Statement Was In Regards To The Anger He Felt About Alleged Rumors And Innuendos Being Spread On The Internet.
While I’ll Agree Most Items Written On The Internet Regarding Supervisor Giza May Be Considered Disparaging, A Preponderance Of That Which Is Written Is Fact.
While Looking For Cuts In The 2010 Budget, The Councilmen Agreed To Not Accept Their 2010 Raise, But Supervisor Giza Will Continue To Take His. Fact
On November 3, 2008, The Town Board Adopted A Resolution Indicating That The Councilmen Would No Longer Be Eligible For The Healthcare Buyout. Supervisor Giza Voted “yes” To This Resolution, But Mr Giza Has No Qualms About Receiving This Buyout Himself. Fact
Supervisor Giza Has Been Promoting New Athletic Fields Which In The End Will Cost Taxpayers More Money. But He Wants To “do It For The Kids”, As He Takes Away From The Kids By Receiving His Healthcare Insurance From The Lancaster/depew Boys And Girls Club. Fact
Why Doesn’t He Do It For The Kids?
The Following Questions Are Not Rumors Or Innuendos. They Are Just Thoughts To Ponder.
What If It Is Found That Elected Officials, As Non-town Employees Had No Legal Right To Receive The Healthcare Buyout As The Town Employees Are Afforded In Their Csea Contract? Would Current And Past Officials Who Received It Have To Pay Those Funds Back To The Taxpayers?
Will A Town Supervisor’s Threat To Its Citizenry Cause A Visit To His Residence From The Fbi? If The Situation Was Reversed, It Certainly Would.
No Innuendo, No Rumor, Just This One Undeniable Fact-
Supervisor Giza Can’t Keep His Hands Out Of The Taxpayer Cookie Jar, No Way, No How.

I Went To The Rath Building Yesterday To Get My Nys Benefits Card. I Was Unfortunately Laid Off Two Months Ago And Applied For Food Stamps So I Can Feed My Family, Which Includes Two Small Children. We Called Our Case Worked And Were Told To Come To The 4th Floor And Our Card Would Be Waiting. It Wasn't There So We Had To Go To Another Floor And Wait In Line For About 45 Minutes To Give Them Our Name; Nothing Else, Just Our Name. We Were Then Told To Go Back To The 4th Floor And Wait To Be Called. Then We Had To Wait Another Two Hours To Get Our Card. While Waiting, We Saw One Man Get Yelled At By A County Employee Because She Thought The 4 In His Social Security Number Was A 9. People Were Being Berated By Workers The Entire Time. When We Asked Why This Was Taking So Long, We Were Told To Sit Down Because "when You Come Here, You Have To Wait A Long Time." All This Because Someone Forgot To Mail Us Our Benefits Card A Month Ago! If This Was A Private Company, Every One Of The Employees I Spoke With Would Have Been Fired For Providing Terrible Customer Service And Being Rude To The Customers. I Didn't Ask To Be Laid Off And Need Food Stamps To Feed My Family. Please Treat Those Who Are A Little Down On Their Luck Like The Human Beings We Are!

As A Depew Resident, I Got A Fine For Trash Not Being Left At The Curb Properly. This Was After A Warning And Garbage Collectors Throwing Our Lids And The Wind Blowing Them Away.we Went Out And Spent $65. On A Large Can W/a Lid Attached.
Why Can't We Get Large Cans W/lids Through The Village At A Cheaper Rate(god Knows Our Taxes Are High Enough)? Also Why Are We Being Fined While The Collectors Abuse Our Belongings?

Could Someone Please Tell Me If The Cheektowaga Garbage Men Get To Go Home When Their Work Is Done Like In Buffalo Or Do They Work An Actual 8 Hours??? I Am Sick & Tired Of Picking Up My Garbage From All Over The Front Of My Property. They Hurry And Spill Garbage Everywhere, Everyweek. There Seems To Be A Problem Especially With Kitty Litter..... I See It Spilled All Over The Neighborhood. I Put The Used Litter In Closed Containers Or Tied Bags. Sure Enough, Every Week, There's The Kitty Litter All Over The Front Of My Driveway. People On The Next Street Said They Too Have The Same Problem, No Matter What Container The Litter Is In, It Gets Spilled All Over Her Driveway. On My Way Home From Work I Saw It Spilled At Another Home, All Over The Driveway!i Refuse To Call The Town Because Then I Will Have More Problems And More Broken & Smashed Garbage Cans.

Everytime You Turn Around You See Builders Building New Buildings In Our Area. Some Of Them Don't Even Have Renters. Benderson's Name Is On Garden Village Plaza For The Last Few Years And There Is Only One Store In That Plaza. When Are You Going To Do Something About This. It Looks Terrible For Cheektowaga To Have A Major Builder Purchase This Property And Not Even Take Care Of It. This Area Is Lacking Stores Like Michael's Craft Store, A Dollar Tree, Small Grocery Store For The People Whom Live At Garden Village, Etc. There Is So Much You Could Do By Knocking Down This Eye Soar And Rebuilding. I Bet There Are So Many Rodents Running Around In That Vacant Place. Time To Clean Up Cheektowaga!!!

Not Reading The Menu I Was Shocked When I Payed $1.89 For A 1/2 Pint Of Milk,what Is This World Coming To.if I Was Younger And Took Four Children It Would Cost Me More Then Two Gallons Of Milk.this Would Not Be Considered A Happy Meal.the Same Goes For Sit Down Restaurants Were The Coffee Costs More Then Toast And Butter.where Did This Kind Of Business Ethics Come From.

Are They Not Eligible To Be On The Bus,do They Have Addresses In Town Or Dont Qualify For Free Transportaion.i Think Some One Should Police This Action And See If This Is Abuse Of Our School Busing.in Addition They Are The Most Unruly Crowd Swearing Walking On Lawns And In The Middle Of The Street.we Are Concerned About There Safety On The Bus And When Let Off All Kind Of Lights Are Flashing.they Could Care Less After Exiting. Where Is The Town Going With Kids Acting Like No Rule Idiots And If They Do Live In The Town.is It Just A Address? We Have All Heard Of Students Useing Town Addresses Maybe Thats Why The Bus Dosent Know Were To Drop 14 Kids Off. Town Please Look Into This Matter And Save Our Hard Earned Money.

The News Media Spent (wasted) A Third Of Tonight's 6 O'clock Broadcast On A Horrible Accident Today In Amherst. Four Teenagers Were Killed. As Usual, The Story Was Filled With Moans And Tears But Completely Missed The Point.
The Boy Driver Reportedly Loved His Car And Loved To "drive Fast". Speed And Disobeying Traffic Signs Was The Cause Of The 4 Deaths. Toys, Flowers And Candles Adorn The Side Of The Road, But Nowhere Was It Mentioned That We Need To Have Sympathy For The Innocent People In The Other Car, Who Were Driving Sensibly And Following The Rules. A Golden Opportunity Presented Itself Here....the Media Could Preach About How Irresponsible The Teens Were, And Make Them An Example To Teach The Other Kids In The Neighborhood What Can Happen When You Disobey The Law. Instead, The Media Blew It. I May Sound Insensitive, But Like I Said What About The Innocent People?
Traffic Circle

I Really Enjoy The Traffic Circles That Were Placed On Harlem Rd. Last Spring. However, The Traffic Circle At The Intersection Of Harlem And Cleveland Is A Two Lane Traffic Circle. Heading Southbound On Harlem The Posted Sign Shows That The Outside (right Hand) Lane Is For Traffic Exiting At The 90(west On Cleveland) And 180 Degrees (continuing South On Harlem), And The Inside (left Hand) Lane Is For Traffic Exiting The Circle On The 180 Degrees (continuing Southbound On Harlem) And The 270 Degrees (east Bound On Cleveland). Multiple Times Have I Been In The Inside Lane And Had Traffic Treat The Circle As If They Can Drive In Both Lanes And Change Lanes From The Outside Lane To The Inside Lane And Come Inches From Hitting Me. Please Be Careful And Follow The Traffic Markings.

Why Would You

Why Would You Not Let Them In? Why Would You Let Them Suffer Outside Constantly? Why Would You Sit In The House As They Are Crying To Go In And Just Ignore Them? They Don"t Know Better. They Just Want Your Attention Or Just Someones Attention.they Are Not In A Junkyard But That Is How They Probably Feel. Why Did You Get Them If You Are Not Going To Show Them Some Kind Of Love And Affection? Why Don't You Leave Food And Water For Them? Why Do You Not Have A Shelter For Them If You Are Going To Leave Them Outside All Day Every Day. Why? Why? Take A Look At Yourself And Them. Do You Love Them? I Think Not. Take Responsibility For What You Have And Take Responsibility For What Other People Don't Want To Hear. Like Constant Crying For Attention.grow Up And Be Responsible.you Are A Homeowner!!!!! A Caring Person.
Leaves
- Cheektowaga
- Posted by:Mary
I Would Like To Comment On People That Are Putting Their Leaves In The Street. Your Leaves Are Supposed To Be Piled Up At The Edge Of Your Grass, At The Street, Not In It. Putting Your Leaves In The Street Causes The Already Narrow Streets To Be Narrower Not Allowing For Two Cars To Safely Pass Down The Street, Without Driving Over The Piles, Which Is Also Dangerous Considering That Small Children Like To Play In Leaf Piles. I Don't Understand Why The Town Does Not Enforce This. This Also Causes Parking Problems. I Would Like To See The Town Send Out Warnings, And Then Fine The People Who Continue To Do This.
Saterday Detention At South Buffalo Charter School
- south buffalo
- Posted by:Joell south buffalo
Last Week I Received A Phone Call From My Children School. They Wanted To Let Me Know That My 9 Year Old Daughter Who Has Severe Adhd Did Not Turn In Some Homework Assignments. While I Do Not Like To Use My Daughters Health Impairments As An Excuse, I At The Same Time Sometimes Do Not Have The Choice. They Informed Me That Due To The Missing Home Work And 4 Unexcused Absences She Would Have To In Turn Serve A Saterday Detention. I Calmly Tried To Explain That Saturday Detention Was Impossible For Us Due To The Fact I Would Have No Transportation For Her And I Also Have 3 Other Children. They Very Rudely Let Me Know It Was Not They're Problem And I Would Have To Find A Way. Now I Am Fully Aware Of The Metro And Other Forms Of Transportation, But I Also Have A Child With Autism Who Does Not Take Well To The Company Of Strangers,and Not To Mention My Very Tight Budget Does Not Include Bus Fair Or Taxi Rides. Unfortunitley My Daughter Did Not Make That Detention. I Tried Endlessly To Speak To Someone Pertaining To This And Got No Where! Now The End Result Is A 1 Day Out Of School Suspension! Are You Kidding Me South Buffalo Charter School? How Does This Solve Anything? You Mean To Tell Me That The Result Of A Punishment Handed Down For Missing Homework And School Days Is By Making These Kids Miss School? This Is A Joke Right? And There's No Solution? Please Except My Apologies For Being A Single Mother On A Budget With No Transportation. In Closing I Would Like To Know What The Lesson Learned In This? That By Not Doing Home Work And Missing School You Get A Free Day Off From School? And I Also Wanted To Extend My Gratitude For The Punishment You All Gave Me.
Mayor Of Depew Taints Halloween Tradition
- Depew
- Posted by:I will be heard
A Long Standing Tradition Of Generosity And Civic Affection Was Cut Short On Friday Night And May Be Cut Out Completely. Each Year, For Several Years, On Oct. 30th, The Depew Fire Dept. Has Sent A Truck And Several Firefighters To A Neighborhood In The West End Of The Village To Hand Out Cider, Candy And Doughnuts To All Of The Kids And Parents Trick Or Treating In The Area. They Have Always Been Well Received And Appreciated For Their Generosity Towards The Village Residents. This Year, However, One Person Did Not Agree With The Fire Departments Efforts. That Person Is Mayor Barbara A. Alberti. For Unknown Reasons Mayor Alberti Passed On An Order To The Firefighters To Pack Up The Cider, Candy And Doughnuts And Return To The Fire Hall. When Asked Why They Were Leaving Early One Firefighter Responded With "i'm Sorry, But We Were Told To Report Back To The Hall". It Has Now Become Painfully Obvious That Mayor Alberti Has A Personal Problem With Our Fire Department. From Large Budget Cuts To The Department. To The Cancellation Of The "night Out" Festival Along With This Latest Display Of Poor Judgment, It Appears As Though She Will Stop At Nothing To Get The Village Residents To Look Unfavorably Upon The Fire Department. And As Usual She Needs To Deprive The Village Resident In Order To Make This Happen. I Think She Needs To Decide If Its Healthy For Her Personal Issues To Continue To Come Before The Better Good Of The Village. Or Maybe She Has Already Made Her Decision. Election Time Seems Longer Away Than Ever.

Pardon Me If I Am Curt, But This Has To Be The Dumbest Steam I Ever Read. Pay Your Ticket, Admit Your Guilt, And Stop Whining. Who In Their Right Mind Would Unbuckle Their Seatbelt Until After They Were Off The Highway? Most Accidents Happen Close To Home. Besides, Anybody Driving Down A Busy Street At 15 Miles An Hour Is Asking To Be Rear-ended. And No, I'm Sure There Are Not A Lot Of People That Do That. But Yes, It Most Certainly Is A Bad Habit. And No Again, The Majority Is Not Against The State Police Being In Town. In Fact.....guess What?...i Live On The Same Street You Got Your Ticket On And I Have Numerous Times Lobbyed For Greater Sp Presence. Our Neighborhood Is A Speedway And People Run The Stop Signs All The Time. Don't You See The Children Walking The Street All The Time? Yeah Coppers.....y'all Come Back Soon, Ya Hear?

Dear Neighbors Of Sloan, It Has Abruptly Come To My Attention That There Are Several Low-life Thieves That Have Decided To Visit Our Village On A Regular Basis. They're Visiting At All Times Of The Day, But Mainly In The Middle Of The Night. They Are Going House-to-house, Sneaking Through Yards, Looking For Anything They Can Get Their Hands On. Please Be Sure That All Of Your Things Are Accounted For. Unfortunately, Many Of Us Don't Realize Something Is Missing Until We Need It. If You Notice That Something Is Missing, Report It To The Police. They Have Already Been Notified Of Several Incidences And We've Been Told They Are Also Keeping A Closer Eye On The Village. In The Meantime, Keep Everything Locked! Be Aware Of Any Unfamiliar Cars Or People. If Something Looks Suspicious, It Probably Is! Call The Police So We Can Help Nail These Scumbags. Maybe They Can Eventually Get A Job And Earn The Things They Own, Just Like The Rest Of Us!
Where Are The Parents?
- Cheektowaga
- Posted by:Charlene
I Live In Cheektowaga In The Ceil/trudy Area And Have Had It Up To My Eyeballs With The Kids In This Neighborhood That Think The Streets And Our Homes Are Their Playground. I've Politely Asked These Kids Over And Over To Move Their Games To Their Own Yards Or The Street In Front Of Their Own Houses Instead Of Mine. I've Had My Car Hit While Parked In My Driveway During Street Hockey Games, Had To Ask Them To Clean Up Bottles They Break In The Street, And Break Up Wrestling Matches On My Front Lawn. Incidentally The Wrestling Match Happened To Take Place Hours After My Lawn Had Been Chemically Treated. Call Me Crazy But Despite How Safe These Chemicals Are Supposed To Be, Rolling Around In Them Doesn't Seem Like A Good Idea. They Don't Yield For Cars And I've Seen People Have To Sit And Wait For Hockey Nets To Be Moved Before Drivers Can Pass Through. After Enough Was Enough And Repeated Requests, Yes, I Called The Cheektowaga Police. An Officer Came Out, Spoke To Me And Then The Kids. After Speaking To The Kids The Officer Came Back And Told Me The Kids Had Even Given Him A Hard Time! As Soon As The Officer Left One Responsible Father Emerged And Decided The Solution Was To Yell Out To The Whole Neighborhood That The Way To Fix Me Was To Have The All The Kids Start Playing Hockey On The Sidewalk In Front Of My House Instead Of The Street. Well That Threat Was Never Carried Out But Many Months Later Nothing Has Changed, Nor Have I Ever Seen Him Again. By The Way, I'm Curious As To Whether Any Of The "concerned Parents" In This Neighborhood Have A Clue As To The Language Coming Out Of The Mouths Of These Kids? Respect Obviously Starts At Home And Maybe You Don't Care, But There Are Those Of Us That Shouldn't Have To Listen To It. There Are Young Children In This Neighborhood Too And I Know Those Parents Don't Appreciate It Either. Tonight I Had The Pleasure Of Hearing Some Very Colorful Rhetoric Coming Out Of Their Mouths Because It Was After Dark And The Cars Coming Down The Street Were Interrupting Their Football Game. Kids Are Not Supposed To Play In The Street-it's Dangerous And Also Illegal. Sure, The Cheektowaga Police Have Better Things To Do With Their Time. Since You Have No Intention Of Obeying The Law, It Would Seem The Least You Could Do Would Be To Invest A Small Amount Of Yours Into Teaching These Kids To Have A Little Respect For The Rest Of Us That Live In This Neighborhood. I Get It That Parents Need A Break And Kids Should Get Out And Play, But Maybe It Should Be On Your Turf With The Privilege Of The Vocabulary Lessons Also Being Yours!

We Didn't Have Them Interuput The Game But They Do Know Who The Vehicle Owners Are.i Understand You Want To See Your Children Play But Who Will Pay To Fix The Ruts Left Behind By The Cars And Trucks That Strattle The Street And Lawns.

Reductions In Budget; Never Happen
- Town of Lancaster
- Posted by:Georgia l schlager
We, The Taxpayers Paid An Outside Attorney $233. An Hour To Negotiate A Contract With The Same Results That The Town Idiot Could Have Derived. Yes, Even Supervisor Giza/ Budget Director/ Lida Board Member/ Ec Sewer Commission District #4 Chairman Could Have Negotiated That Contract.
Yes, Longevity Pay Is Still Included. You Know They Give Town Employees A Bonus For Working At A Taxpayer Funded Job And Taxpayer Funded Benefit Package For Another Year. Last Year $143,000 Was Allocated For Longevity Pay. It’s Just Ridiculous In These Overtaxed Economic Times To Reward People For Being Employed With The Town.
It All Starts At The Top. Supervisor Giza Needed To “lead By Example”. If Before Contract Negotiations, The Supervisor Would Have Indicated That He Would Not Include A Raise For Himself And The Board Members In The 2010 Budget And Not Take The Healthcare Stipend, Maybe His Employees Would Have Given Something Back.
Who Would Be Willing To Give Back To A Boss Who Himself Just Takes, Takes And Takes?

I Thought Youth Sports Were For The Youth. I Have Come To Find That It's All About The Parents And Coaches,and Everyone Thinks They Are In Charge. I Had Involvement In The North Cheektowaga Youth League,and Found It Very Fustrating. The Children Are Not Treated As If They Count For Anything. They Are Told What To Do By Coaches.parents,teachers All Day Long. They Are Not Encouraged The Way They Are Supposed To Be In The Youth Program. I Thought This Was Supposed To Be "fun". Boy Was I Wrong,i See To Many Disagreements That Go On In Front Of The Children And They Are The Ones That Get Hurt. It's True You Get What You Pay For, Don't Expect A Lot If You Aren't Willing To Dish Out A Boat Load Of Money. They Are All Voulenter,and Most Of The Time It Shows. They May Take Pride In The Fact They Are Doing Something In The Community,and For The Kids. But They All Have A Lot To Learn About This Being For The Kids And Noit Their Egos. Working Together For The Good Of The Kids And Not To Make Them Look Like Big Shots When They Can't Get Along. I Would Never Want My Child To Participate In The North Cheektowaga Youth Program,and I Would Recommend That You Take Your Child Elsewhere,for Their Sakes.

So Let Me Get This Straight. The Governor Of New York, Because Of Admitted Fear, Is Not Going To Continue The Process Of Taxing Products Sold On The Reservations Throughout Ny State. Each And Every Time A Non-indian Purchases Tobacco Products And Fuel On A Reservation, They Are Engaging In Tax Evasion. I Know That Sounds Harsh, But That Is What Is Going On. Every Other Citizen Is Forced Into Paying More Than His Or Her Fair Share Because Of The Countless Friends And Neighbors Who Refuse To Pay Theirs. Enough Is Enough! I Have Read Most Of The Treaties In Regards To Taxing The Nation. Nowhere Does It State They Have A Free Ride And Can Do Whatever They Want. The Leaders Of This State Do Not Want To Tax The Native Americans Who Make Their Home Here, Our Elected Officials Only Want Those Non-indians To Pay Their Share. To Listen To The Governors’ Aides Saying That Governor Patterson Is Not Going To Continue With This Is Nothing More Than An Insult To All Of Us. He Is More Than Willing To Go After Soft And Easy Targets, But Is Not Confident Enough To Make Difficult Decisions Or Fight The Tough Fight. The Only Lesson That I Can Learn From This Is Simple, When We Do Not Like What The Governor Or The Legislative Calls For, We Only Need To Threaten Violence And They Will Back Down. What Ever Happen To The Days When Our Elected Officials Had Backbones? Thank You

On Glenn Beck He Reported A Cnn Poll That Showed Young Voters In America 2 To 1 Approve Of Obama Care While As Age Rises The Seniors Oppose Obama Care 2 To 1. The Young Are All For "free Health Care", But As We All Know Nothing Is Really Free. Also Reported On Glenn Beck, In The Hr#@)) Bill There Is An Incentive Not To Treat Those That Are The Sickest Among Us.those People By Statistics Tend To Be Our Senoir Citizens. So Basically Obama Lied Gramdma Dies!. Now On Sept 29th A Florida Representative Gave A Speach Saying Republicans Plan Is To "let You Die" If You Get Sick. That Is Farther From The Truth. Well, Robert Reich Who Is An Obama Advisor And Helped Write The Healthcare Reform Bill Said In A Speach " If You Are Very Old We Are Not Going To Give You All The Technology And Drugs For The Last Few Years Of Your Life So We're Gonna Have To Let You Die." After That And This Stunned Me I Heard The Audiance Appluad And Cheer. Who Was Reich Speaking To? Would You Believe A Group Of College Students. Sarah Palin Was Telling The Truth With "death Panels" And Obama Lied To Our Faces When He Gave His Speach About Healthcare Reform On National Tv. Wake Up America Before Its Too Late.
Saterday Detention At South Buffalo Charter School
- south buffalo
- Posted by:Joell south buffalo
Last Week I Received A Phone Call From My Children School. They Wanted To Let Me Know That My 9 Year Old Daughter Who Has Severe Adhd Did Not Turn In Some Homework Assignments. While I Do Not Like To Use My Daughters Health Impairments As An Excuse, I At The Same Time Sometimes Do Not Have The Choice. They Informed Me That Due To The Missing Home Work And 4 Unexcused Absences She Would Have To In Turn Serve A Saterday Detention. I Calmly Tried To Explain That Saturday Detention Was Impossible For Us Due To The Fact I Would Have No Transportation For Her And I Also Have 3 Other Children. They Very Rudely Let Me Know It Was Not They're Problem And I Would Have To Find A Way. Now I Am Fully Aware Of The Metro And Other Forms Of Transportation, But I Also Have A Child With Autism Who Does Not Take Well To The Company Of Strangers,and Not To Mention My Very Tight Budget Does Not Include Bus Fair Or Taxi Rides. Unfortunitley My Daughter Did Not Make That Detention. I Tried Endlessly To Speak To Someone Pertaining To This And Got No Where! Now The End Result Is A 1 Day Out Of School Suspension! Are You Kidding Me South Buffalo Charter School? How Does This Solve Anything? You Mean To Tell Me That The Result Of A Punishment Handed Down For Missing Homework And School Days Is By Making These Kids Miss School? This Is A Joke Right? And There's No Solution? Please Except My Apologies For Being A Single Mother On A Budget With No Transportation. In Closing I Would Like To Know What The Lesson Learned In This? That By Not Doing Home Work And Missing School You Get A Free Day Off From School? And I Also Wanted To Extend My Gratitude For The Punishment You All Gave Me.
Time To Resign!

To Joseph W.keefe And Village Of Depew Board. This Is Another Reason Why This Village Is In Such Disarray. We Have Board Members Like Joesph Keefe Who Beats The System Out Of $209,282 In Unpaid Taxes. Lets See If The Mayor And Board Will Step Up And Request The Resignation Of Mr. Keefe Or If He Has The Sense To Do It Himself.
Tax Cheat!

I Happened To Be Reading The Front Page Of The Major Local News Paper This Last Sunday And What A Surprise To See That One Of The Tax Cheats Mentioned In The Headline Story Was A Lawyer "and" Member Of The Depew Village Board. None Other Than Joesph W. Keefe. He Owed The Irs $247,782 But Only Had To Pay Them $38,500 In A Settlement Deal. Well, Isn't That Sweet? He Should Step Down From The Board, But Because He Is Without Honor, I'll Just Make A Point To Remember His Name When He Runs For Reelection. Hey Joe, You Owe The American People $209,282, You Tax Cheat!

Mandate Insurance Tier For " Employee Plus One Other" Be Offered, Rather Than "family"
- Tonawanda
- Posted by:Shirley
I Find It Very Unfair That If You Only Have A Two Person Houshold That You Are Required To Be Covered By Your Health Insurance Under The "family Coverage" Plan, Which Covers Families With An Unlimited Number Of Children. I Looked Into This, And Was Told By The Insurers That They Do Have A Tier For "employee Plus One Other", Which Would Cover A Spouse Or A Single Parent Plus One Minor Child, At A Premium Comparable To Two Singles, Which Is Considerably Less Than The Family Rate By One-third Or More. They Said That The Employer Would Have To Offer This Tier Option, But When The Employers Checked Into This Coverage, They Found That If They Offered That Tier, It Would Increase The Family Rate Drastically, So They Just Continued To Offer Only Single And Family.
Those Of Us In Our Little Two-person's Households, Which Includes Parents Whose Adult Children Are No Longer Covered By Their Insurance And Those Who Are Childless, Must Pay For Other People's Children's Coverage. This Seems Grossly Unfair To Me, And Discriminatory.
I Would Like To See It Mandated By The Senate And Congress That This Tier Be Offered By All Health Insurance Companies And Employers At A Premium Comparable To Two Singles, And That The Insurers Not Be Allowed To Inflate The Family Rate When Employers Include This Third Option. This Should Also Extend To Retirees To Cover "self Plus Spouse". I Urge Anyone Who Might Be Affected By This To Email Our Senators And Congressmen And The President Too--i Have!

Im Writing In Relation Of An Unjust Experience With Obtaining A Needed Lown For Some Homeimprovements Needed For Our House. I Contacted The Towns Building Dept. And Inqired. This Was Accepted And I Was To Pick The Contractors Listed For Estimates. I Did So And A Contract Was Written Up And All Set To Go.when They Started Working, The Contractor And Workers Did Everything In Horrible Condition, And Broke More Items Now Needing Repair, With No Guilt. Im Without A Doorbell For Over 2 Years For Ex., Still I Was Intimidated By Personnel In This Project Was Not Done Or Satisfactory. I Refused To Sign, Due To Unfinished Work, I Was Told That I Dont Sign, That The House Will "sit" As Is. I Signed Then After Picked Somone Else To Finish. The Contractors Failed To Show Up, All Were Very Confused And Our House Is Still "sitting As Is". Although They Were Paid Unjustly. So, My Warning Isw To All Homeowners That This Program Is Not Reputible, Will Not Follow Through, And They Will Rip You Off. We Are Stuck In A Worse Situation Than Desrved. I Feel I Was Highly Discriminated Against, Ive Then Heard Other Horror Stories, The Same Thing Has Happened To Another Job Through Them.so, Please Be Careful In Your House Repair Finacing And I Do Not Suggest These Crooks, Or To Use Thier Towns Service. You Shall Be Sorry!
Cheektowaga Police

First Let Me Start By Saying, I Have The Up Most Respect For The Cheektowaga Police. I ‘am Grateful For All They Do In Our Community. But, Can Someone, Anyone Please Tell Me Why It Is Necessary That Every Car Going To A Call Drives 80 To 100 Miles Per Hour Getting There, Most Of The Time With No Siren. It Is Only A Matter Of Time; One Of Them Will Hit A Vehicle I Can Only Pray There Are Not Children In It. Friday Night My Husband And I Were Sitting At The Light At Union And George Urban Going North. There Are Cars In Every Direction And The Light Was Green For Traffic Coming Out Of A Very Busy Coffee Shop. About 250 Yards Behind Me A Police Officer Decides It Would Be A Good Time To Put His Siren On While Passing Me On My Left Driving In The South Bound Lane But Going North. He Was Going At Least 75 To 80 Miles Per Hour Never Once Did He As Much As Tap His Breaks. No One Can Tell Me That Every Car Seen Him Coming, Because They Certainly Did Not Hear Him Until He Was On Top Of Them, He Came Out Of Nowhere. He Only Turned On The Siren At The Very Last Minute, Which Seems To Be The Norm For All Of Them. Where Was He Going? He Was Going To The Bingo Parking Lot Where There Was Already Three Other Police Cars, Emt's, And I Think The Fire Chief. I Am Sure Not One Of The Other Six Officers, Emt's, Or Fire Chief Had Any Control Over The Emergency At Hand. Only That Officer Doing 80 Getting There Was Going To Be Able To Get Things Under Control. Yes, I Do Want The Police To Get To Me Asap If I Am In Need Of Them. Just An Idea Maybe They Can Use The Sirens, And Slow Down If There Is Already Half Of The Police Force At The Call, For A Kitten In The Tree. If They Do Not, They Will Kill Someone, Let’s Hope It Is Not You Me Or One Of Our Family Members.

I'm Going On Round 3 Of Applying For Social Security Disability. I Would Like Everyone Out There; (and I'm Sure Some Of You Already Do.) What It Is Like To Apply For Ssdi. God, Forbid Anyone Reading This Has To Apply. I Wouldn't Wish This On My Worse Enemy!
Here Is What The Denial Letter Stated: You Are Disabled Because Of Lower Back Pain From A Degenerated Disc, Severe Depression, Hypertension, Anxiety, A Weakened Immune System From A Kidney Transplant, Sleep Apnea, And Diarrhea. The Reports Did Not Show Any Conditions Of A Nature That Would Prevent You From Working.
What?!?! My Work Was In Health Care And I Have Had The Kidney 10 Years Now And My Doctors Say It Might Be Going Into Rejection! What Does It Take To Get On Ssdi!?! This Is Why This Country Is Going To Pot!!
Rude Bingo Players
- Buffalo
- Posted by:Jalou
I Was At Bingo At The Leanord Post On Walden And Nagel In Cheektowaga Last Thursday And Let Me Tell You About A Table With A Man And Three Women. Thats All They Did Was Talk And Talk Loudly So That People 3,4,5 Tables Away Could Hear What They Were Saying. The Man Is A Professor At Canisus College And Loves His Muslem Students. I Mean I Could Tell You More About What They Talked About But It Was Silly And Rude. The Two Young Men Sitting Next To Them Kept Telling Them To Be Quite Throughout The Entire Bingo Session And They Kept Right On Going As Well As Others Asking Them To Shut Up. The Caller Named "ruthie" Even Said "good Night" To One Of The Rude People Named "cheryl". Someone Even Tried To Complain Afterwords But Was Told These 4 People Talk All The Time And If They Dont Like It To Sit Someplace Else. Well I Will Be Sitting Someplace Else Spending My Money Someplace Else At Another Bingo Hall Where People Are Considerate And The Workers Actually Do There Job And Ask Rude People To Shut Up Not Stick Up For Friends.

I Have To Say That We As A Community Have Shown Great Support To The Deck Family, Accept One Person. You Should Be Ashamed Of Yourself For Making A Formal Compliant Against The Sensational Halloween Extraganza The Decks Put Out Every Year. I For One Would Like To Know Your Reasoning. Something That Makes Thousands Of Children Happy, One Unhappy Person Should Have The Right To Stop. This Is A Community Tradition, Shame On You.

Reply To Margaret. If Your New Neighbor Put Up A Stockade Fence To The Front Of His House Its His Property To Do With As He Pleases. Do You Pay His Bills, Mortgage Or Property Taxes? You May Think It Serves No Purpose But Obviously Its To Send A Message To Nosy Neighbors Like You. Its A Free Country And You Have To Respect Others Rights. Maybe You Should Find Something Better To Do With Your Time Instead Of Worrying About Something Thats None Of Your Business. You May Have To Look At Your Neighbor Over The Fence But Nothing Says They Have To Speak To You.

So I Was Driving Down Losson Rd. In Cheektowaga This Morning And Adhering To The 35 Mph Speed Limit, When Suddenly I Look In My Rear View Mirror And There's A Woman Tailgating Me. As We Continued Down The Road We Come Across A Cheektowaga Police Officer Who Was Pulled Over Onto The Shoulder On The Opposite Side Of The Road. As We Pass Him, He Puts His Squad Car Into Gear, Makes A U-turn, And He Is Now Behind The Two Of Us. All The While This Woman Is Still Tailgating Me. Does He Pull Her Over? No. When We Get To Union Rd., She Makes A Left Turn And He Makes A Right Turn. Cheektowaga's Finest Right There, What Are We Paying These Officers For? He Probably Needed To Get To Tim Hortons For His Free Coffee.
Loudly Chewing And Cracking Gum Is Rude And Distracting.
- Tonawanda
- Posted by:Charlene
If People Need To Chew Gum To Freshen Their Breath Or Soothe A Dry Mouth, It Is Possible To Do So Quietly And Discreetly. Some People However Seem To Have No Manners When It Comes To Gum Chewing. I Recently Took My Kids To See A Children's Performance At A Local Library. A Few Rows Over From Us A Woman Was Loudly Cracking, Chomping And Smacking On A Piece Of Chewing Gum. She Was Apparently Oblivious To How Loudly She Was Smacking And She Continued Violently Crack Her Gum For The Entire Length Of The Program. I Found It To Very Rude And Distracting, Not To Mention Disrespectful To The Children's Perfomer.
Be A Good Neighbor
- Kenmore
- Posted by:Tom-kenmore
Fall Is Here. Winter Is Approaching. Strong Winds Are Already Blowing. Here's 3 Tips To Help Everyone Be A Good Neighbor. First- Secure Your Trash. Don't Allow Your Paper, Cardboard, And Plastic Items To Blow Throughtout The Neighborhood. Cover Your Trash. Weight It Down. Secure It. Second- Do Not Block Or Obstruct Curbside Leaf Pick-up. Your Neighbors Spend Considerable Time And Energy Raking Their Leaves To The Curb. If You Park Your Car In Front Of Their House ... You Are Obstructing Municipal Employees From Picking Up Those Leaves. Park You Car In Front Of Your Own Home. Third- Shovel Your Sidewalk. Many People Still Walk ... Even In Winter. Children Walk To School. Adults Walk For Exercise. And Of Course Our Letter Carriers Walk Everyday. Shovel Your Sidewalk. These Three Simple Suggestions Will Help Everyone. These Three Suggestions Are Nothing More Than Common Sense. Common Courtesy. Be A Good Neighbor. Use Common Sense. Show Common Courtesy. Secure Your Trash. Keep It From Blowing Throughout The Neighborhood. Don't Block Leaf Pickup. Shovel Your Sidewalks. It's Called Common Sense. It's Called Common Courtesy.

79 Million Dollar Rocket?
- town of tonawanda
- Posted by:Angela
This Country Is Completely Out Of Control!!! A 79 Million Dollar Rocket Is Insane. We Dont Need To Spend Our Money On The Moon When The Earth Is In Shambles. The Moon Has Been There Since The Begining Of Time, Its Fine Leave It Alone. The Plant Is Where We Need 79 Million Dollars. Do They Realize How Much Could Have Got Done With That Much Money? For Example: Feeding Homeless People In Our Country, Health Care, Hurt Or Disabled Vets (which By The Way Is The Most Important), Schools, Helping More People Keep Their Families Warm This Winter, I Mean The Lists Goes On And On. Who Cares If The Moon Has Water Or Whatever They Are Looking For As Long As Its Bright And Beautiful. The Wasted Money Is Just Plain Stupid. We Should Be In An Uproar Over This Wasted Money.stop Shooting Rockets Into Things That Dont Need It. Ridiculous!!!!!!
