Recently (I, dunno, about an hour ago) the Uncle blithely said: "Hey!I like name calling.I'm good at it. "
Ho ho, the Uncle is so funny.
Except to a certain family member, for whom the Uncle would do anything (and frequently has, may I point out), who pretty much took the Uncle to task for taking the Ralphlings latest attacks, particularly on Mindy and Iris, too lightly.
(Did any of you follow that last sentence?)
In any case, the Uncle now sees the light and, as an act of conrition has sent the following email to Sweet-As-Pie Swiller.
"Please feel free to use any and all materials on the Uncle's blog in any way you see fit, including fund raising for OCEAN or whatever you plan to call it next week.
Uncle Betty"

Ralphling Overdrive
Wow, the Ralphlings are going into overdrive.
Neat.
You can practically see the steam coming out of their...ears.
The Ralphlings are screaming that Mindy and Iris are evil terrible people who have sold their souls to the devil and so you should vote for forming a village.
Who can argue with that?
And, it diverts attention from the lie that Bart Bloom and the other Ralphlings keep trying to sell us: claiming that a village will prevent annexation (it won't).
Hey, let's try an honest campaign and see if it sells.
How's:

VOTE FOR A VILLAGE SO THAT RALPH CAN HAVE SOMETHING TO CONTROL
catchy huh?
As to the Ralphling's hyped up smear campaign -- I like what Swiller had to say (Yeah, I'm biased 'cause he's sweet as pie).--
Can the Ralphlings say the same?

Ralphlings, A Field Guide
A handy dandy hint for identufying a posting from one of the Ralphlings: look for the unsigned accusation of "selling out" "being bought" "taking bribes."
Here's a patial list of the folks they've accused:
Mindy
Swiller
Sheila
Gerri
Mike A
Mike Q
Lorraine
If I've missed anyone, so sorry!

To the editor:
One can only feel sympathy for John Baranowski, who, in a letter to the editor last week, appeared to be wracked by a paralyzing fear of the future. Let me reassure him that, as is the case with so many frightened people, his terror is created solely by his ignorance of the subject at hand and that by learning the facts he will be able to put his mind at ease.
For example, he believes that the five local laws recently re-enacted by the Woodbury Town Council “can be - and certainly will be - applied to every large vacant parcel of land.” Knowledge of those laws would show Mr. Baranowski that at most only nine other parcels of land could even be proposed to the Town Board for such development.
He goes to on speculate that the laws could be applied to the “thousands (of acres) of Arden House.” He is unaware that the codicil governing the bequest of Arden House would make this impossible.
He is fearful that the senior housing that will be created will be “high-cost, densely built (and) semi-attached,” and that there are “only weak provision for holding the developer’s feet to the fire to actually sell those units to senior citizens.”
In truth, the laws enable builders to erect housing for seniors at lower cost than would otherwise be possible. The density of the senior units will be four per acre - which is no change from the previous law - and there will no attached units at all. The provisions setting these units aside for seniors have been applied in many other localities with a history of holding up.
He believes that approximately one unit per acre (senior housing aside) constitutes “high density.” While this is a bizarre definition of high density, Mr. Baranowski’s confusion is understandable. Ralph Caruso has so often recited that phrase that many gullible people have been taken in.
I note that while he complains about the placement of the entrance to the senior housing section of the WP3 project, he fails to mention that his own home is just there. This omission leads me to suspect that “NIMBY” plays some role in Mr. Baranowski’s objections. That being the case, I would urge him to find the maturity to face his own selfishness, an emotion all humans experience. I would hope that the sooner that he comes to grips with his own humanity, the easier it will be for him to accept reality and conquer his fears.

The Rose Is Off The Bloom
Bart Bloom has told the people of Woodbury that they have to form a village.
He's told us that he's part of a committee to get us to do that.
He's told us -INCORRECTLY- that it will stop annexation.
What he hasn't told us is that while he is pushing us to permanently change our town HE'S GOT HIS OWN HOUSE ON THE MARKET!
Can anybody say CHUTZPAH!
How dare this guy tell us what's best for us but not mention that at the very same time he's packing to leave?
While he explains that to us, why doesn't he also tell us who the hell is on this secret committee of his?
Gee Bart, it seems that you really are in a position to talk about disinformation.

A Blooming Idiot
Bart Bloom, the legal whiz who knew absolutely nothing about annexation when Caruso trotted him out to confuse people at the meetings at the Senior Center two years ago, is back.
Guess what?
He still doesn’t know anything!
He has sent out an email that tells us:
"The primary purpose for creating a village is to prevent or make it more difficult for an adjoining village to annex property in the Town and change the zoning."
Neat!
Totally wrong, yet neat.
Be confused, be very confused.
Forming a village does NOTHING to prevent annexation.
NOTHING
NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING!

FORMING A VILLAGE DOES NOT PREVENT ANNEXATION.
Are we clear on that?
You idiot!
As to making annexation more difficult - the general consensus among lots and lots of experts is that it either makes annexation easier or has no effect.
NO ONE SAYS IT MAKES ANNEXATION MORE DIFFICULT!
Well, no one but Bart Bloom, legal scholar extraordinaire and part time sock puppet.
What else has this fine legal mind got to say?
"A few of us have formed an organization called Citizens for the Preservation of Woodbury, the sole purpose of which is to pass the resolution in favor of creating the Village of Woodbury. "
Who, pray tell, are these "few of us?" Caruso? Donnelly? Baranowski? Reveille? Paris Hilton?
Whoever they are they are too modest to put their names in print.
There can’t be all that many of them, because Bloom is advertising for minions "to pass out literature next week explaining all the issues and responding to the disinformation being spread around town."
And what disinformation is being spread around town?
Bloom somehow forgets to mention any.
(Except of course for the stuff that he’s spreading himself.)

Busy, Busy Beaver
Poor Supervisor Burke, what a workaholic. Two weeks ago meetings almost everyday with Bob Reveille and today, when he could be having a nice relaxing two hour lunch, instead he spends that time working away over at Ralph Caruso's house.
And never does he ask for any recognition for his diligence. In fact, if our phavorite phreelance photographer hadn't happened to snap this shot of the Burkemobile in Ralph's driveway, we would never have been able to give him the credit he deserves.

(by order of Village law 179.2)
Wasting away in Ralphcarusoville
Searching for my lost town government
Some people claim Baranowski’s to blame
But I know, it’s my own damn fault
I look back in disgust
At my yes vote last August
With nothing to show but a higher tax bill
It’s a real thriller
A back breaking killer
By this time next year
I’ll be paying it still.

YES or NOT AT THIS MOMENT
Maybe I should fix that transom. The Uncle just received an email from Sweet-As-Pie Swiller, all full of capital letters and bold print and like that there. So, here it is, for your consideration
Most discussions about the August 10th vote on forming a Village of Woodbury revolve around voting YES or voting NO. Those aren’t the real choices available.
The real choices are YES or NOT AT THIS MOMENT.
A yes vote will drastically, and most likely permanently, change our form of government and will raise our taxes. It could easily lead to drastic changes in our fire department, our police department and all other municipal services. It will have profound effects on the people who supply those services. The village will have the right to wipe the slate and bring in new workers under new contracts. IT WILL NOT PREVENT ANNEXATION.
A no vote does not prevent us from re-petitioning and creating a village at any time that we choose. There will be a one year period during which this EXACT SAME village can not be brought forward. But this proposed village was poorly drawn to begin with, incorporating parts of the state park. We could create a new petition, leaving out the parkland, and bring it to vote at any time that we wanted.
At tonight’s town board meeting it became clear that there are many unanswered questions on what forming a new village will mean. There are only three weeks until the vote.
This petition was on hold in the courts for years - that time might have been used to get answers to the public, it wasn’t. The village faded from our thoughts. Now it’s back and we have very little time to do much of anything.
To quote Don Siebold, Darlene Reveille, John Baranowski, John Burke, Bob Donnelly and all the others in Ralph Caruso’s group, when they were talking about the Brodsky project: "What’s the rush?"
If we vote yes we have made a final decision for good or ill.
If we vote no all that we are saying is NOT AT THIS MOMENT.
What it comes down to is this. You are being asked if you want to make a giant change in the way that you live. Your choices are either "yes" or "let me think about it."

Over The Transom
The following was tossed into the Uncle's office along with the morning paper and a number of bricks. An attached note said "Please read this for me at the next Town Board Meeting" I couldn't make out the signature, it just looked like foam.
First, I just want to say that I am not here to say anything negative about anyone on the Town Board or anywhere at all because I know that you and everyone else is working just as hard as you can to do what is right for all of us even if you are terribly terribly wrong and are destroying this town.
If anyone thinks that I have said any bad thing about anyone then I want to set that straight right now, and I know that that is what some of you are thinking and that you are always thinking that and that you think about me all the time doing bad, bad things and wearing strange clothes and you really have to stop thinking about me like that and you just do it because Sheila Conroy, who is in league with Satan, makes you do it, but I know that you are all very, very good people and so you must work to fight her evil powers.
She keeps calling me in the middle of the night on her special phone that no one else can hear and she tells me to do bad bad things and wear strange clothes and she can’t stop thinking about me.
So, I am asking the Town Board to outlaw Sheila Conroy and also those bad, bad newsletters that write bad, bad things about me and have drawings of me and pictures of me and stories about me and never find time to talk about anything but me and you really can’t allow that, not when our President is working so hard and our boys and girls are fighting so hard to keep us free and you just can’t let bad things like that happen.
Thank you.

Welcome To The Funhouse
Chapter 3,257
Mr. Bubbles Writes A Letter
Mr. Bubbles has written to the Photo News (well, at least he signed a letter that someone wrote to the Photo News).
It goes like this:
Resident asks: ‘Are you prepared to fight?’
To the editor:
When questioned as to why he changed his mind and subsequently his vote on an issue that he once opposed not so long ago, Councilman Michael Aronowitz of the Woodbury Town Board cited preserving the quality of life as one of the main reasons he voted in favor of the WP3 project, slated to be built along Nininger Road in Woodbury.
This project, when combined with the planned Legacy Ridge development, also in Woodbury, will add 738 homes and in my estimation will bring 1,200 to 1,500 more vehicles to a town already strangled by traffic and to an area that has one of the worst air quality ratings in the state.
That’s not what I would call preserving the quality of life. Not when you consider that the children of our community, while attending the nearby schools and who represent our very future, will be forced to breathe in additional amounts of extremely unhealthy air.
Over the next five to ten years the impact on the environment along with the associated increased health risks will be devastating. With the amount of children contracting asthma and other chronic illnesses due to increases in air pollution at an all time high in this country, it makes his decision to vote in the affirmative all the more disturbing.
With that in mind, I would like to know if his supposed concern extends to all of Woodbury or just a few select areas, The reason I ask is because it has come to my attention that the municipality of Kiryas Joel is already putting together a petition to annex property which they own in Woodbury into their village. This parcel of land lies along Bakertown Road extending west and is very close to where my family and I live. I have already spoken to Town Supervisor John Burke, the lone dissenting vote on the aforementioned projects, about his position in regard to this issue. He assured me that he is prepared to fight annexation in any part of Woodbury for as long as it takes.
So my question to Mr. Aronowitz and the other three Town Board members is: Do you share Mr. Burke’s values and are you prepared to fight to protect the interests of those of us who live in this area and are under the constant threat of properties in close proximity to our homes being annexed into K.J., thus affecting our quality of life? Are you prepared to fight now and in the future for all of the residents along County Road 105 including the Sisters who reside at Bethany Retreat? Are you prepared to fight for the residents of Bakertown Road, Blueberry Lane, Campbell Avenue, Seven Springs Road and anyone else who might be affected by this? Are you prepared to fight annexation no matter what or do you plan to tell us that we’re all expendable?
I would hope that as elected officials you are committed to protecting the sanctity of Woodbury and EVERY citizen who resides within its boundaries.
Bob Reveille
Highland Mills
Wow, air pollution.
That’s really, really important.
So very, very important that it is very, very interesting that neither Mr. Bubbles nor Mrs. Bubbles thought to mention it during the comment period on the laws or the WP3 project.
They didn’t mention it at the first meeting at the High School.
They didn’t mention it at the second meeting at the High School.
They didn’t mention it in any letters commenting on all of this.
Back then they were against the project for lots of other reasons, it seemed. But this is a new one.
Well, they had stuff to say at the first meeting. But, Mrs. Bubbles was busy during the second meeting. Perhaps she was at the Betty Rubble Clinic or something.
In any case, thank God that John Burke is there to protect us.
Not like those other politicians who don’t give a rat’s patoot. Remember that politician who said in Town Hall: "I don’t care about the rest of the town. I care about my home." Who the heck was that? Oh yeah, it was Mrs. Bubbles.
Oh well, nobody’s perfect.
Well, except for John Burke.
He’s the only one who will stand up to defend us from KJ the merciless.
And how will he do that?
By forcing the evil Brodsky to sell the Nininger Road property to, um, er, eh...KJ.

Swiller Not In Paper, Bias Cited
Jonathan Swiller is not in today's Times Herald Record. When UB reached veteran cub reporter Chris McKenna in his penthouse office atop the THR Orange South Tower in Gonzaga Park the rumpled 32 year-old responded with "But he didn't do anything yesterday."
How often are they going to trot out that lame excuse?
Robert Lawrence was contacted for comment by famed medium Jonathan Edward, and the bon vivant real estate agent and freelance wrestler let loose with a blast at the "Nazi rag" which "refuses to provide any coverage to any Jew anywhere, even part time residents!"
In reaction, Bob Quinn, editor of the Photo News has urged a countywide boycott of the Record ("except for my wife's column").

Ankle Biter Self-Revelation
Anonymous said...
Roses are red violets are blue
Hey Mike screw you!
Hope you enjoy your next year on the board
Now that you have cut the cord
You know this term will be your last
Because you have just lost all your support real fast
You may think you are now part of the fantastic four
But all you are is a sell out and rotten to the core
We know you took cash
So when will you dash?
10:39 AM
It is interesting to see that the ankle biter crowd believes that politics operates entirely on threats and bribes.
It does not occur to them that anyone's decisions are made for any but the basest reasons, because that is how their own world works.
As to Mike, they cut him off again and again, each time that he made up his own mind. To them, acting like anything but a robot is unacceptable.
The sooner we are done with them the better off we will be.

Did Caruso Actually Say It?
The Uncle has now heard from two sources a most remarkable thing. We are told that Caruso has said:
It wouldn't be so bad if KJ got Brodsky's land. Since only the men drive, there would be fewer cars.
Any other folks hear this? Or is this a Suburban Legend?

Pick Your Battle
The big vote of the summer of 2006, as far as Woodbury is concerned, happens on Thursday, July 6th at 7:30 at the Town Board Meeting.
The story so far: the judge actually upheld Caruso, Ungerer, Siebold and company's law suit which would pretty much force Brodsky to sell his land running from the M-W High School all the way to ACE Farms. Gee I wonder who would be interested in buying it? (yeah, he doesn't own it all - Cornell and others own some, but if Brodsky isn't buying their land, they'll be selling to you know who too.)
So, Brodsky's only chance (some people say Woodbury's only chance) is if 4 out of 5 members of the Town Board vote to reinstate the laws that Judge Slobod knocked down.
Let's see- Im guessing that Lorraine and Gerri still vote yes. There's a good chance that Queenan will too. John is with Caruso all the way on this.
Sooooooooooo, who was that fifth board member? Oh, yeah. Michael Aronowitz. Formerly a starry eyed admirer of the "Brilliant One" (retch, gag) Ralphie Caruso - is Mikey a yes vote or a no vote?
Tune in on Thursday and see if your town goes bye bye before your very eyes.
But, say that you have wider horizons, that you've already written Woodbury off as a lost cause and the bright lights of Goshen have pulled you in. The big vote there this summer may well be the one that decides if Eddie gets to give KJ the keys to Gonzaga Park.
The County Legislature will vote on whether or not to they're willing to put KJ's water towers into the park. The vote comes this Thursday, July 6th, at 7 PM.
Say, why does that date sound familiar?
One way or another, the real fireworks shows this summer are coming two days after the fourth.

Tune in on Thursday and see if your town goes bye bye before your very eyes.
But, say that you have wider horizons, that you've already written Woodbury off as a lost cause and the bright lights of Goshen have pulled you in. The big vote there this summer may well be the one that decides if Eddie gets to give KJ the keys to Gonzaga Park.
The County Legislature will vote on whether or not to they're willing to put KJ's water towers into the park. The vote comes this Thursday, July 6th, at 7 PM.
Say, why does that date sound familiar?
One way or another, the real fireworks shows this summer are coming two days after the fourth.
