Hats off to Long Beach boys laxers for showing their talent and heart against a nationally rankedRead More team. You should be proud of your achievements just as we are proud of you representing our city.

It could not have gone to a more deserving player. Congratulations Jake. Do us proud in WestRead More Point! Thank you Romano, Jeannette and Bryan for remembering Corey in this most special way.

This is a spectacular idea, I can see many other businesses following suit. How does this exactlyRead More work? Does he just open up a business on taxpayer property and collect fees? Do the taxpayers get a percentage? What happens if a person gets hurt, do the attorneys file a suit against the company or the city? Does his company have any liability insurance? Does the city need to be named on the policy as an additional insured? Can taxpayers just show up, stand real close to this group and participate without sending in the fee?

instead of worrying about exercising we should all be organizing and sueing our city and federalRead More government for the diaster they have inflicted on us worse than Sandy! NJ and the Rockaways bounced back faster... what about our town? the businesses? the fact that as a town we need tourist dollars for our retailers, why are we spendig that insane amount of money on the boardwalk? and why do we need an engineer to figure out a raised platform with a flat surface? Why not build huge sand dunes at the edge of the beach , raise up the boardwalk to 15 feet push the sand dunes underneath, create a wall behind and top it all off with concrete? we can use pretty benches and decorative lighting for beauty... at the same time help the small businesses in town stay afloat and help all the homeowners fix and raise their foundations the 10 feet necessary so this doesn't happen again? doesn't feel like rocket science .. where is our hospital? our services?? what happens to our property values? why aren't our taxes being lowered!

Great now you are going to make them spend the rest of the day googling SEO
Brendan March 15, 2013 at 02:11 pm
Paul, I'd imagine that changing that now would screw up their SEO, so that will just have to liveRead More for eternity.

Long Beach High School sophomore Max Willard broke the school record in the 500-yard freestyle, set by John Farrell in 1986. He then proceeded to brake his own record one week later.
JeffR February 15, 2013 at 10:01 am
Congratulations Max! Ditto what Mark posted.
mark reniets February 14, 2013 at 09:18 pm
Congrats to Max it was well deserved! He's a great kid and worked so hard to get here, keep onRead More working! On another note, everyone should keep up the school spirit and support the girls basketball team at their playoff game Friday February 15th at the middle school at 5. The Lady Marines are playing Freeport and the game will be a close one! Please come support them theyve worked so hard to get here and overcame so much, they deserve and NEED a home crowd. Hope to see you there!

Yes, a nice story. Let the money be spent wisely.

How awesome. Once again, I have tears in my eyes over the generosity of others.
long beaches original surfing school, no crowds and the lowest cost school/camp.
Elliot Zuckerman January 30, 2013 at 01:07 pm
Resident , both the Skudins and my surfing school both pay the city on LB a fee to use the beach, weRead More must have full insurance, liability and workmen's comp, we bid on our beaches four years ago and we are going into the last year of our contract, we pay taxes and also pay the city a sanitation fee as well and both of our schools clean the beach and try to maintain a safe area for new students, my school surf2live must share a beach with surfers and the skudins have a beach to themselves until 1 pm, we both are respectful to our city and encourage surfers of all ages the chance to learn to surf. I have been providing this service for over 20 years and love teaching, we both are certified by NSSIA and i am a certified professional surfing coach as well .
Just a Resident January 30, 2013 at 09:39 am
I always wondered about these surfing schools. Not that they're a bad thing, but how is the CityRead More remunerated for the use of a public beach? How is the issue of liability covered?
paul.d.spellman January 24, 2013 at 01:04 pm
Great company, I heard they made a rather sizable donation to the local relief funds from all theRead More profits they have made off our residents and oceanfront these past number of years.

Kudos for your great efforts. Any thought to extending it to our garbage strewn streets ?

I saw an ad for an upcoming monster truck show at the Coliseum. I hope they can bring in aRead More demolition derby too.
Nassau Taxpayer January 11, 2013 at 06:36 pm
Sure. Circle the money yet, Mr. Monti? "Monti says the high-tech offices would be linked to aRead More 92-acre residential, retail and commercial development by light rail or a special bus route. Monti says the plan would cost between $2 billion..." And be sure to fund any needed public service improvements.

So why are you only picking on hockey players it's the same all across the board for the other 3Read More major sports as well as NASCAR ( I think), tennis etc. Same in other parts of the world for soccer. aRod gets how much per season? not certain but I think it's 18 million . and he was 0 for 18 post season play. I don't like it either. It's prohibitively expensive to go to any major league event. Parking at Shea , now Citi , is $19. Beers almost $10 6.50 for ice cream. Lookinfg at it from the athletes point of view their average work life is only a few years so they have to make it while they can. Also it now has become apparent that hockey and football players in particular are suffering serious head injuries that cripple them Later in life. it's all driven by TV revenue so who cares? Instead of getting angry at stuff like this why don't you focus on something important like violence against women and children by real dortbags.
