HAVE YOU TAKEN DEFENSIVE DRIVING CLASS? - 09/29/08 03:49 PM
Looking for ways to save on your auto insurance? How much? About 10%.
So have you taken the defensive driving class lately?
I took one yesterday. The class was given at Oyster Bay Public Library by Empire Safety Council and we had an excellent teacher named Steve Donnelly. I did not want to take the course but my husband insisted I should and so I went with him. The class was worth it. Taking the defensive driving class or aptly renamed Accident Prevention Workshop will reduce your auto insurance premiums by about 10%. If you have points, you may be eligible … (2 comments)

THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER - 09/22/08 05:28 PM
Rosa Foetida Bicolor or Autumn Damask Rose
Now that the summer is gone but not forgotten, we are in for some nice show of color in the garden. The weather will be cooler and the roses will be bursting with blooms once again. Here is a poem that carries my sentiment for the season.
‘Tis the last rose of summer
Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone;
No flower of her kindred
No rosebud, is nigh,
To reflect back her blushes
To … (0 comments)

GOING GREEN WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OFF - 09/20/08 04:44 PM
When a big storm hit our area, we worry if we are going to lose power and when will it be restored? For days we might have power outages. In certain areas of Long Island, power outages can run for days. Homeowners are buying generators just to have them handy on such emergencies. But these generators run on fuel and create pollution and noise. They are also for short term duration only.
Steve Geiringer of Lattingtown and Harvey Bass of Sea Cliff have developed an alternative - a battery-powered inverter that does not run on fuel nor create pollution or … (12 comments)

IS CONDO RIGHT FOR YOU? - 09/17/08 10:07 AM
There are pros and cons of owning a condominium. Condominiums are the answer to finding a low-cost, low-maintenance homes. Condos can be an attractive option because they are generally kept in good repair by enforced rules. You'll need to become familiar with these rules and agree to follow them before buying a condominium. If you like the benefits of these enforced rules, but decide you want a single-family residence, you can look for a subdivision with a homeowner's association that enforces such rules. Condos are also good as a second home or vacation home because you can just lock it … (8 comments)

DO YOU KNOW THAT PLASTIC GROCERY BAGS ARE NOT GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT? - 09/10/08 05:39 PM
The plastic bags that carry your groceries home so conveniently are not good for the environment. There are bills proposed that will require stores to establish an in-store recycling program for plastic shopping bags. It is called Plastic Bag Reduction, Reuse and Recycling Act.
Plastic bags are not biodegrable and will end up using valuable space in landfills and last almost forever in the dump. They break down into smaller toxic bits that contaminate soil and waterways and suffocate marine life. An estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are used each year worldwide. It takes million barrels of … (4 comments)

HERE ARE REASONS WHY YOU WANT TO LIVE IN EAST NORWICH, NY.... - 09/09/08 01:57 PM
East Norwich is a small town on the way right before reaching Oyster Bay near the intersection of Route 106 and Route 25A where the famous landmark, Rothman's Restaurant is at the corner of Route 106 and Route 25A. It's been there long before I was here. East Norwich was originally established by the Rothman family of Oyster Bay. At some point, Burt Bacharach, the singer bought it. East Norwich Inn, the only hotel in town sits behind Rothman's. Now there are plans to open a small shopping mall behind Rothman's restaurant and close the East Norwich Inn.

WITH HURRICANE SEASON UPON US, ARE YOU PREPARED? - 09/03/08 05:22 PM
With the devastation caused by Katrina still in the back of our mind, and Gustav still causing destruction on the Gulf Coast with Hannah, Ike and Josephine in its wake, we ask ourselves are we prepared for these hurricanes. We who lived in a coastal region like Long Island should not be so complacent. A reminder that Hurricane of 1938 ran havoc on Long Island, then in 1944, another big hurricane hit us then Gloria struck in 1985, how certain are we that another big one is not heading our way?
When we bought our town house in South Carolina … (3 comments)
