Dear Editor, On Friday, June 27, at 8:55 A.M. I called into the John Gambling Radio Show on WOR. Every Friday Mayor Bloomberg answers questions from the public, between 8 A.M. - 9 A.M. To my surprise the screener put my call through and the Mayor responded to my question, which was "we have an on going problem with the lack of lifeguards in Rockaway. More ... Dear Editor, The recent warm, muggy weather here on the peninsula has most of us craving something refreshing. I found my refreshment for the week in an excellent letter published in The Wave. I would like to acknowledge and thank Maureen Ritter for her thoughtful letter, "What's Being Done for Rockaway. More ... Dear Editor, For the last weeks, the Yankees have drawn 51, 53 and even 55,000 fans to the stadium and this is not in a play-off or in a World Series competition, but against mediocre teams. In a very near future, the Yankees are going to move in to a new stadium with a capacity of only 45,000 seats. More ... Dear Editor, We have given up on Rockaway and on New York City. We have moved to Syracuse. We were both senior teachers with the Department of Education. The changes in the system made all of us (the kids too) miserable. It was time to get out of Dodge.

I am now a finalist out of about 720 people. The contest is from Idea Café. More ... Dear Editor: Just a few weeks ago The Wave took some photos at a Baseball Clinic that was held at Sorrentinos. The photo in the paper showed how happy the champions and runner-ups from last year 2007 PAL Little League were to receive their trophies. What happened? The PAL Little League was supposed to have their first game June 28, 2008. More ... Dear Editor, Recently Mayor Bloomberg announced plans to sharply reduce city spending in Fiscal Year 2009. This is due to the recession this country is currently experiencing, and by extension a drop in city revenues by $2 billion. More ... Dear Editor, Boo! It seems that the annual music concerts at Fort Tilden, which we and so many other Rockawayites, have enjoyed for so many years, has been sabotaged by our own National Park Service.
