Dear Editor, I can only imagine Maureen Walsh's disappointment upon learning that the Beach Club property on Beach 116-117 Streets may, in fact, not be developed for affordable housing. Ms. More ... Dear Editor, We are writing in response to a letter in the August 14 issue of The Wave regarding the Neponsit Property Owners' Association. Rockaway is a wonderful place to live. Our homeowners' associations help to ensure the quality of life we all enjoy here. More ... Dear Editor, I want to thank The Wave for keeping the ABTS, YMCA and Stop and Shop project in the news. The bottom line is, a community center and pool are long overdue for the Rockaways. More ... Dear Editor, To the person who left the pit bull, stuffed into a carrier with massive injuries, apparently from a dogfight, in front of the Animal Hospital on Beach Channel Drive around 3 a.m.—I thought you would like to know that although he had his ear amputated, as well as his toe, and that Dr. More ... Dear Editor, This letter is for Christine and Marina, who have been running the RAA summer camp. Since June 2001, my two children and nephew have been members of RAA. The summer camp in particular has been such a beautiful part of their childhood. More ... Dear Editor, Why has The Wave not been a better friend to the Rockaway Freeway Dog Park? The letters and stories featured in your newspaper have been largely negative in the past and have had a negative impact on how residents of Rockaway and the surrounding areas view the park. More ... Dear Editor, I am completely outraged by the August 21 article in The Wave entitled "Councilman Sanders Says Lifeguard Deployment is Racist." There have been seven drowning deaths so far this year on Rockaway's beaches; four on city beaches, two at Riis Park, and one at the Surf Club in Breezy Point. More ... Dear Editor, The Rockaways are concluding the worst summer in recent memory as riptides claimed the lives of seven unwary swimmers. Unfortunately, the recurring tragedies have made the Rockaways vulnerable to a relentless media assault spearheaded by The New York Post. More ... Dear Editor, Does the year 1920 mean anything to you? It succeeded the tragic influenza epidemic by three years. It began the decade of the Great Depression. But the year, the actual year, must be memorialized by all women as the year we got the vote. More ... Dear Editor, Let's face it, underage drinking is and has been part of the culture of Rockaway for half a century, as I know it. As 15 and 16 year olds, we used to travel to Rockaway because we knew we could be served at any of the bars even though the legal age was 18. It seems not much has changed, except for the legal age itself. More ... Dear Editor, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my neighbors. My dog, Sammy, was almost 15 years old when he died in my arms in my apartment on Wednesday, August 12th. All these years I thought I was taking care of him but I realize now that he was taking care of me. More ... Dear Editor, I will be resigning my per diem position at St. John's Episcopal Hospital as per my contractual agreement on June 30. I leave without malice but with a prayer that the climate of change and tolerance currently pervading the country will someday reach the departments at St. John's Episcopal Hospital Center. More ... Dear Editor, Regarding the letter by Lee Cordova last week, I offer some clarification, not to defend Councilman Sanders but to "attack" and dispel continued misrepresentations, myths and inaccuracies as implied by Cordova. More ... Dear Editor, I've been working at a major health care facility in Arverne for 14 years. On Monday, 8/31/09, I visited a newly opened bogeda/grocery on Rockaway Beach Boulevard between Beach 53 and 54 Street. More ... Dear Editor, I read an article by Dana Berliner in the August 24 issue of The Daily News. Berliner is an attorney for the Institute for Justice, the main force trying to reform eminent domain ever since the famous Supreme Court decision in 2005, that is now known as the Kelo case. More ... Dear Editor, I would like to express my gratitude to Lew Simon for his concern and intervention in getting "Meals on Wheels" for one of my family members. Without his help the process would have been much longer and more difficult. Thank you again for all your help, Lew. More ... |
