How come no story to go with pics VT???
Ooooh,maybe it’s because 98% of attendees were supporters of doing the right thing and keeping Huntington El open?
I didn’t but a couple bashful cupcakers trying to blend in.
Shame on you.
What I noticed was there were hardly any people on the side lines watching.All the attendees at the festivle were walkers in the parade for the most part or politicians.You can thank using Dee Thompson and Rebecca Sanin as the organizers for the low turn out.Most people hear those two names now and want nothing to do with whatever they are involved in.
Looking through the pictures you can easily see hardly any people there to watch.When we first arrived we thought we were either in the wrong place or missed the whole thing.
I was at the fair and saw lots of people there. It was great.
Stop being part of the problem and consider becoming part of the solution. Fingerpointing at volunteers is such a sign of personal weakness. Since you obviously do not care about Huntington Station (or Huntington at all) you should have just stayed home. Better yet, why not just move?
some are real volunteers (with a personal agenda some where down the line in politics Ex: RS) and some actually make a real difference. You must be one of the lemmings.
If I would have stayed home the parade would have just been for those who were in it as those on the sidelines were scarce.
I saw the same thing. Seems almost no one standing on the sidelines cheering on the great bands etc. All the hard work but in by the bands, etc and people couldn’t be bothered to honor them by attending.
Not when they keep pushing their viewpoints on everyone else. Not when they resort to calling everyone racist when they don’t get their way. Maybe they are the ones who need to learn to work with others. And for that matter, you do too.
I was there with my 3 littles in tow….they loved the bouncy houses, ate some burgers, ice cream, mingled with neighbors etc etc…..
LOVE LOVE LOVE Marta Smith one of the 2 Grand Marshalls!!! She is a sweetie and a great person in our community!!!! I have the pleasure of being her neighbor and thank God for her and her husband Bill having a hand in being our adopted Grandparents!
Sad to admit, but many of the hard working tax payers of Huntington Station have lost their pride in this town. I grew up here and no longer have the same feeling about this town. When asked where I live I now say Huntington. I’m embarrased to admit I live here. I truly hope that this town can turn a corner one day, but it doesn’t look hopeful at this time.
Sorry, but it had nothing to do with the school issue. I didn’t feel like going to parade and cheering for organizations who attempted to push Avalon Bay on us. Don’t think we will forget who’s who.
This is what not understanding what unity means….you can’t just screech “unity! you must join me!” and think people will fall in. I have to agree with the posters above, some of the names attached to this project definitely turned off many people I know, because everyone recalls they budged not an inch earlier in the year. How have you or they come “half way” exactly?
I am willing to sit down with anyone on this site to talk about what is a half way position for both sides…As it stands you have your side (which is probably more in line with the BOE) and I have my side (which is probaly more in line with the TOH). Now we need to talk and find a half way point just like the BOE and TOH need to do the same…
Well I guess you dont subscribe to free markets then. You were happy to have government there to stop the free market/private sector from doing what they wanted.
Project Vote Smart Condemns Steve Israel for Lying to Senior Citizens About John Gomez
Condemns Steve Israel for Lying
So this is what it has come down to, Steve Israel has just jumped into the gutter with the lowest form of gutter trash! He is no longer a respectable member of society.
A very smart man once said
“Anyone who is willing to lie to get a job will lie while performing that job” ,
what else will this man do who is trying to win a Congressional Race and has nothing to run on? Anything!
This is just a very small part part of what Steve Israel has done over the past 2 years:
Steve Israel Voted for:
Voted YES on 1.3 Trillion for Socialized “Obamacare”
Voted YES on $192B additional anti-recession stimulus spending. (Jul 2009)
Voted YES on additional $825 billion for economic recovery package. (Jan 2009)
Voted YES on $15B bailout for GM and Chrysler. (Dec 2008)
Voted YES on $60B stimulus package for jobs, infrastructure, & energy. (Sep 2008)
Voted NO on protecting the Pledge of Allegiance.
Voted NO on constitutional amendment prohibiting flag desecration
98.7% voting record with Nancy Pelosi
This is why he has jumped into the gutter, He can’t run on his record!
Please pass this to everyone in you know in the 2nd CD
They need to know what kind of “man” Steve Israel is.
Who paid for the “Friends of Huntington Train Station” expensive giveaways & banner? This group is not a registered 503b. I hope it was not my tax dollars. I have FOILED today. As I suspect the Town of Huntington is giving this group money & the money they are giving them is my money. TOH has a hiring freeze and has cut back road budget that effects our safety.
Nope, dont worry it wasnt your tax dollars. The banner and the give aways were left over from the money we raised for the Centennial Celebration. Check the dates on the train magnets I gave to Jen’s kids and you will see they were made up in 2009…Seriously you should stop obsessing about the activities of a civic group whose only goal is to better the Huntington Train Station!

Shame on you.
who are you? male or female you are such a nasty person never have you posted a kind comment.
maybe because vt has never posted anything positive about people in this town who have a different pov.
What I noticed was there were hardly any people on the side lines watching.All the attendees at the festivle were walkers in the parade for the most part or politicians.You can thank using Dee Thompson and Rebecca Sanin as the organizers for the low turn out.Most people hear those two names now and want nothing to do with whatever they are involved in.

Totally agree- will never attend anything with Dee or Rebecca’s name on it.
I saw the same thing. Seems almost no one standing on the sidelines cheering on the great bands etc. All the hard work but in by the bands, etc and people couldn’t be bothered to honor them by attending.
That is sad. But that is not why people did not attend. We are honestly sick of DT and RS. They need to go away.
You need to stop telling people to go away and start learning how to work together with people who hold a different viewpoint from your own.
Not when they keep pushing their viewpoints on everyone else. Not when they resort to calling everyone racist when they don’t get their way. Maybe they are the ones who need to learn to work with others. And for that matter, you do too.
I am more than willing….just let me know when and where you want to get together for drinks or coffee…
I was there with my 3 littles in tow….they loved the bouncy houses, ate some burgers, ice cream, mingled with neighbors etc etc…..
LOVE LOVE LOVE Marta Smith one of the 2 Grand Marshalls!!! She is a sweetie and a great person in our community!!!! I have the pleasure of being her neighbor and thank God for her and her husband Bill having a hand in being our adopted Grandparents!

The theme for the day was “unity”! Can’t you get past the Avalon issue? It was also a day for the kids to enjoy which they did to the fullest!
Can’t get past you.
The anwser is to meet me half way….and think win/win.
This is what not understanding what unity means….you can’t just screech “unity! you must join me!” and think people will fall in.

Sit down and discuss what, exactly? As far as I’m concerned, you were a shill for AB. AB has been kioked to the curb.
I’m not interested in meeting half way to the curb.
Well I guess you dont subscribe to free markets then. You were happy to have government there to stop the free market/private sector from doing what they wanted.
There ya go AGAIN. Free Market? Are you kidding? Ahem – the Free Market does NOT GET TO CHANGE ZONING LAWS.
Nevermind the free market does not get involved in subsidized housing.
I’m sure that curb is cold, but it’s your choice to sit out there.
@Alia,
I didnt hear anything like that at this zoning event I recently attended that said that free markets dont get to change zoning laws….

People didn’t attend because they were afraid to. The organizers should have offered bullet proof vests prior to the start of the parade!

It was a nice thing for the community. Can’t we all just try to move forward?
Only in your opinion, Kim. But we would expect no different from you. He is probably your husband.
If Vivienne posted that the sky was blue, you would disagree with that too.
