Unusual Suspects: Unlicensed Home Contractor; Dog Dispute; Pizza Hut Closed Off

Recent weird and unusual crime in the Hudson Valley. Reports do not indicate a conviction.

Bedford police arrested Mark Cooper of Port Jervis, NY for soliciting home improvement jobs without a proper license and peddling without a license. Cooper was working for a Bedford client at the time of the arrest; his equipment was seized.  

Two Peekskill residents weren't very happy with each last Sunday. One neighbor's dog ran onto the other's lawn and when the former tried to retrieve her dog, she was allegedly met with foul language. The dispute ended there, with both returning to their respective homes.

A Hastings woman discovered all four of her Honda Accord's tires missing, replaced with milk crates. The tires were worth about $2,000.

The Pizza Hut on Central Park Ave. was closed off with no explanation. The Greenburgh Police Department and a tactical unit were on scene. Police from Greenburgh and Scarsdale would not comment.

Laundry detergent was apparently the cause of a car crash in Sleepy Hollow. A car skidded on the soap into a stone wall.

In Tarrytown, a woman heard her neighbor asking for help. Police arrived and discovered the woman's door had been painted shut. They were able to open the door with the superintendent's assistance.

The manager of Serafina in White Plains called police when a man said he had no money to pay his bartender. The man allegedly had done this in the past. After ordering two fancy drinks and running up a $23 tab, the man reportedly attempted to call his wife to pay the bill, but got no response. He was then placed under arrest.

This is a terrific addition to town! I know I struggle with mounting piles of things to donate andRead More finding places to give to. With the Community Center and now Goodwill, great to find a second home for goods.

Okay but let's focus on the charter of the BOE. The Board of Education believes its primaryRead More responsibility should focus on creating an educational environment that will help our students become knowledgeable individuals, problem-solvers, quality producers, effective communicators, wholesome individuals, collaborative workers, ethical individuals, life-long learners, and responsible, accepting and involved citizens. We remain committed to providing a high quality, well-balanced educational program that supports our faculty and staff and helps our students meet and exceed State standards as well as high district goals. It says nothing about protecting the investments of taxpayers by voting "no" on every expenditure. We need forward thinking, broad minded individuals to help guide educational direction of our schools. Keeping expenses reasonable and and in check should be a consideration by the educational focus should be primary. Although novices, Trustees Tobin and Schiff have helped true the course of the board back to the direction of education. Mr Stone who himself admitted he had never even been to a BOE meeting before deciding to run offers no sense of motivation other than Dr Treyz and his friends think he'll help shift the direction back toward finance. Mr Holbrook is no different a candidate than Mr Lipton himself was 6 years ago.
