Who Will Oversee Sandy Relief?
by Arthur H. Gunther III
Billions are being sought for Hurricane Sandy reconstruction by the governors of New York and New Jersey and New York City’s mayor. The full dollars may not come given the federal budget deficit, the ‘€œfiscal cliff’€ stalemate and traditional congressional reluctance to assist the Northeast, but whatever funds do arrive, the worry is that the greedy already see cash in their big eyes.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo says New York State needs $42 million, Gotham’s mayor wants $15 billion and Jersey Gov. Chris Christie thinks $37 billion will do.

Sandy Leaves Rockland Powerless for 7-10 Days
by Dave Zornow
Nyack Mayor Jen White will meet with residents and businesses at 11a today on the steps of Village Hall to update citizens about the response to the effects of Hurricane Sandy. It’s likely that elected officials will suggest curtailing Halloween Trick Or Treating as there are too many power lines still down to make it safe for children to walk from house to house.
Nyack, Update 10/31 8:30a — Nyack and its two sister villages suffered significant damage during Hurricane Sandy as countless trees snapped and power lines were downed.
9W Residents To DOT: Lower Our Speed Limit
by Marilan Lund
Last week, the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) began to place new Share The Road signs along 9W between Nyack and Piermont in response to the June traffic fatality of Mount Ivy cyclist Janet Martinez. On Monday, a 27-year old Nyack resident, Eric Zayas, died in an early morning traffic accident with another vehicle not far from where the Martinez accident occurred. Although local residents and cycling advocates say the new signs are a good start, many have been asking the NYSDOT for years to look at lowering the 40 mph speed limit in a residential neighborhood where cars routinely drive 55. Almost 600 people have signed an online petition at change.org to lower the speed limit. Earlier this month, the Village of Nyack passed a resolution asking the DOT to lower the speed to 30 mph on 9W where it passes through Nyack.
As a Nyack resident here since 1978 and someone who drives 9W every day, I think the NYSDOT is being disingenuous in its stated reasons for not lowering the speed limit.

New City Native is a Standup Kinda Girl
by Peggy Boyce
If Harvey Fierstein and Brenda Vacarro had a child, she would probably sound a lot like Regina DeCicco. The New City resident hails from the family that owns a chain of Rockland County supermarkets, but says she was never destined for a life in groceries. Instead, DeCicco has turned her talents to comedy and performing standup. ‘€œAlthough my family gives me great material for my act,’€ she admits.
