On July 10, at 7:30, p.m., I was at the banquet room of The Beach Club. It is filled with about two hundred people and one torn, burnt page of the Koran. A few local politicos and reporters are mingled in the crowd. About forty to sixty of those present are eyewitness, and a few are professional persons of the aviation field. More ... As an eyewitness to the horrible disaster of November 12th, I attended the meeting that was held at The Beach Club. I sat with a young lady and her family that I have known for the last 12 years who lost her mother and 2 aunts on the plane. More ... I am writing this letter on behalf of Gary G. Toms, "The G-man", who has a beautiful personality and is very wise. I am thankful that he has a spot at The Wave because we, as Black people, need someone who lives among us whose opinion we can identify with. More ... This is in reference to your editorial in the July 13 edition of the Wave. I am a Roman Catholic and I take exception to your article about "one nation under God". Last time I looked YOUR God was the same one I worship. (There IS only ONE GOD, isn't there????? Isn't ALLAH GOD, too ?????) What the heck are you babbling about? More ... Thank you so much for the opportunity of such an important meeting held at The Beach Club on July 10, 2002. Thank you to The Beach Club too. Despite the disregard of eye-witnessed accounts on the day Flight #587 crashed, the meeting allowed a community to attempt healing by sorting out events together. More ... Thank you for your well-documented article regarding the court decision to eliminate the words "Under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance. To compare this to singing "God Bless America" or to leaving the words "In God We Trust" on our currency is ludicrous. More ... I'm a native Rockawayite and now live in St. Augustine, Florida, and it is so wonderful to be able to read the Wave each week and here about my hometown thanks. More ... Last Saturday, like any other Saturday, I packed my boys up and headed for the beach with the neighbors. Little did I know that my 18 month old, Timmy was coming down with Tonsillitis, when we left for the beach he was fine. More ... On behalf of the 100th Precinct Community Council, I would like to thank everyone who attended this year's Community Cruise. It was one of our most successful years, raising more than $3,000 for Night Out Against Crime / Fireworks 2002. More ... The recent decision by a three-judge panel of the 9th circuit (West Coast) on the Pledge of Allegiance has caused a wave of concern among politicians including the U.S. Congress. More ... As life long residents of Rockaway, one of whom is fortunate enough to work in Long Beach, we have the opportunity to drive along Old Rockaway Beach Blvd. More ... |
