Yes, indeed, the bank, as a matter of good business practice should have notified all of their…Read More customers. Maybe if they aren't so concerned about doing the right thing by their customers, then it may be worth considering giving your business to a credit union that is more customer friendly (and which doesn't charge fees for checks or for having a checking account). Just sayin'.

I was at the bank today and inquired as to what happen. I was told that nobody from the Kings Park…Read More branch had any money stolen. The guy was seen putting the devices on the ATM and the authorities waited for him to retrieve the equipment and arrested him. I think that the bank should have notified anyone who used the ATM during that time, and maybe they did.

Did anyone ask the bank if they did in fact contact any of their customers that used the ATM during…Read More that time (or not), and if not why not?

What century are we living in? I'm sorry it seems like we are all still in the dark ages! Why the…Read More hell is pot still illegal? I mean, it was made illegal originally to keep the paper industry using trees, instead of hemp.
Turns out, what they told our parents and grandparents was bold faced lies. They told them that mexicans and blacks use pot in their drug dens and jazz clubs and they push it on our kids. ALL OF WHICH IS NOT TRUE!
It's all designed to keep the average citizen down. In order to fund the prison industry. And the anti-drug industry. Both of which are pure for-profit businesses, who don't give a damn about their clientele.

Really? The MORONS drive into a river and its the towns fault?
Tens of thousands of people drive…Read More down thereevery year with no problem.

A beautiful, dry day with the sun high in the sky. Someone was distracted.

So sad this has happened. The laundromat belongs to my aunt and uncle who are very hard workers. I…Read More hope they recover. Their customers love them.

Nothing wrong with an apartment if its legal. You are such an oppositional jerk.

I just call it as I see it. I'm never one to beat around the bush & will always be the first…Read More one to blatantly speak my mind. It's really not my fault nor my problem if you take it the wrong way...

DITTO! It's all about the dollar not about safety with the canoe company and no regard to people's…Read More personal property such as their boats. When you want them to pay to have your boat repaired they look the other way and wave the waiver in our face. Obviously they surely don't teach their clients to stay away from people's boats that pay to be moored on the river.
Good riddance!

Bern, the kayaker was the only item that the rescue folks plucked from the frigid water and had in…Read More the boat when they came back to dock. This is more than a training issue. Unfortunately one cannot purchase or train for this thing called... common sense. You either have it or you don't. Was wondering what the outcome was. Hope he is OK.

Every year as the weather warms, a lot of people venture out with their small paddle craft. They are…Read More not wearing PFD's or cold water immersion protection gear. The air may be warm but the water is near winter cold. The immediate effects of cold water immersion could be cardiac failure and death. If that doesn't happen, disorientation occurs from the cold water shock. Your body then attempts to keep the core warm by diverting blood from your outer extremities like arms and legs. As this occurs, you will lose the use of your arms and legs and you will not be able to swim or tread water.
Hypothermia occurs when your body can no longer maintain core temperature and begins shutting down. That actually takes a while to occur depending on water temperature. A PFD will keep you above water and hopefully someone will come to your rescue before death from hypothermia occurs.
Use common sense. Before you put your small boat in the water, jump in the water with the attire you will be wearing when you get in your boat. If that notion seems crazy to you because the water is too cold, then don't get in the boat because if you dump it that's where you will be.
Seek out an organization like Long Island Paddlers. They can advise and educate you on what type of attire you will need for cold water immersion and just general safety procedures you should practice when venturing out on the water in small paddle craft.

For Congressman Tim Bishop's contact information, the link below has his address/numbers.
This is…Read More so very sad, and I am sorry for the families loss. His mother's love/dedication truly shows. When someone doesn't leave the scene of the accident, from what I underatand, they are free to go. But leaving the scene of accident, I am very shocked. This man could have either been afraid, or on some kind of narcotics/alcohol. Even if he was scared and came back 3 days later, it is still wrong and $5,000
00 is a joke. Because most likely, you're hiding something if you leave. And unfortunately, a crime is always less punishable if you leave and come back, rather than stay and be drunk or on drugs.
