Week in Review: Google Street Car Visits West Islip, Look Back At Hurricane Irene

A look back at the top headlines from the past week.

Smile West Islip, you're on camera.

A Google Street View Car was out and about in West Islip and Bay Shore Monday, capturing panormaic photos of local streets and neighborhoods for Google Maps and Google Earth.

As Hurricane Isaac is poised to hit the Louisiana and Mississippi coasts, Patch looked back to a year ago when struck Long Island.

A reader thanked the Town of Islip for the much-needed repaving of Orinoco Road and West Islip Boulevard.

When made "One giant leap for mankind" on to the Moon's powdery surface, Dick Dunne, of West Islip, was back on Earth in Bethpage, awestruck, watching a technological marvel that had captivated the planet.

Unless your idea of a good time is spending a night (or more) in jail this Labor Day, Suffolk County officials warned Friday that enforcement of driving and boating while intoxicated laws will be ramped up this holiday weekend.

You can thank all these POS politicians for the new gun legislation designed to make law abidingRead More citizens give up their second amendment rights out of sheer frustration and incontinence of owning a gun legally for increases in savage on citizen violence. This is only the beginning and in short time many New Yorker's will be forced to remain in their homes fearing one of these animals will make them their pray. I for one believe in the old adage, it's better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

Has anyone been able to find out if we are losing money renting this building to this for profitRead More preschool? If I under stood correctly from previous post's, there may be some friendship with one or more BOE members which paved the way for their lease.

I think Proposition 2 is a great idea, in the current structure you have to "call out" anRead More individual basically saying "I think you are doing a particularly bad job". Politics get dirty enough as is and I think this will increase participation and ultimately give us a better Board of Education.

Why didn't the author run for the open seat this year? Bark of a wolf and courage of a lamb.
