If all goes according to plan, the Nyack Marina will re-open next spring with new bulkheads, renovated boat slips for seasonal—and perhaps transient—boat owners, a safer power-boat launch for day-trippers, and a new eco-dock for human-powered watercraft.]]></description>

The Village of South Nyack opposes the unnecessarily rushed scoping process for the Tappan Zee Bridge replacement project; giving the public less than two weeks notice of the hearing and a scoping packet bereft of sufficient detail for any informed comment to be provided by the village.]]></description>

In this sketch, The Tappan Zee Bridge seems to hang above the house as it does metaphorically over our village. With hearings beginning on <a title="TZB Redux: Could It Be 1955 All Over Again?" href="http://www.nyacknewsandviews.com/2011/10/tzbmtg20111025/" target="_blank">October 27 at 4p in the Adler Room of the Palisades Mall</a> for the Tappan Zee River Crossing Project, our fate is literally up in the air. The outcome of these hearings will greatly impact the quality of our lives, so as frustrating as it may be for those who went through this in 1955, it is very important that we all keep our eyes on the bouncing bridge.]]></description>

After nine years of meetings, hearings and research, Governor Cuomo’s request to have the reconstruction of the Tappan Zee Bridge fast tracked was approved last week.  The members of the public and the local officials who participated in years of meetings were shocked that the final plan dismissed the need for public transportation that they expressed.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's been a tough summer for Hudson River enthusiasts, with July and August sewage spills and a Riverkeeper/Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory report last week that says the river was untouchable 25 percent of the time between 2006 and 2010. But if you think it's tough living near the river, just be glad you don't live in it.]]></description>

Riverkeeper's five year collaborative study on water quality in the Hudson River concluded that eight of nine sites tested in Rockland did not meet state and federal standards for water quality for swimming.

On Friday, August 12, Westchester County issued a warning for boaters, swimmers and fisherman to stay away from the Hudson because of sewage spewing into the river in Ossining, NY.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pomona, August 12 -- For the second time in the past four weeks the Rockland County Health Department is warning residents to avoid contact with the Hudson due to sewage in the river. On July 22, the alert was as a result of a fire and sewage spill into the river from NYC's North River Wastewater Treatment Plant. Today's warning results from a sewer main break across the river in Ossining.]]></description>

Walking around Rockland Lake recently, I thought I’d taken a detour to the Galapagos.

Several mature and magnificent herons and egrets were escorting a huge flock of young birds across the southern end of the lake, a few short flaps at a time. It appeared to be a flying lesson. The young aviators took off and lifted themselves, just a foot or so, above the lake. Then, after being airborne for mere seconds, they’d skid across the lake’s surface, like shaky Cessnas trying to land in a storm.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nyack, July 28 -- The Rockland County Department of Health has lifted the Hudson River advisory regarding  swimming, fishing, kayaking and any direct contact with the Hudson River. The river ban, first announced on July 22, was put into effect after a fire damaged a treatment plant on the West side of Manhattan causing sewage to be discharged directly into the river.
