Why Verizon is failing to install ANY services in West Copake

Bob,

I suggest you publish this information in the main part of the Chronicle, more than once;

To inquire as to why Verizon is failing to install and is not planning to install ANY services on the Martindale, Ancram and West Copake towers call:

Verizon

Executive Office 

140 West St in New York, NY 10007. 

(212) 395-1000

This is THE place to complain. At Verizon, the trickle down still works, just as it did 40 years ago with the old AT&T. Go to the top and by the time it reaches the bottom the problem has gained serious momentum. If enough local residents make work for the executives at Verizon head office, change happens because the people at the top have more on their plate than dealing with 500 customers wanting to know why Verizon is failing to keep pace with AT&T. 

 

Your call will be answered on the 2nd ring, by a human that expresses genuine concern. You will be transferred to the executive who oversees that group who will make a promise to call you back with an explanation and update. You will be re-contacted within 2 business days regarding your complaint. 

Many voices area able to accomplish much.

Thank You From John H. Wilkinson’s Family

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our friends, family, co-workers, Copake Fire Department, Veteran’s Group, Columbia-Greene Community Hospice, Copake Auxiliary, and everyone else for being there for our families during the time of our Father, John Wilkinson’s demise.  Growing up in Copake along with his sister, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, etc. dad has a big history in this town that will be cherished forever.  He will be missed by all. He was an inspirational father, brother, grandfather and husband. And he was a great Electrician for over 50 years. Thank you also to Bill his working partner.  May our father rest in peace with our mother, Anne Marie Wilkinson.  

Who exactly is Jeff Nayer kidding?

Who exactly is Jeff Nayer kidding? Not me I and I sure hope not you.  In his interview in the Register Star he says a couple of totally ridiculous things that show a lack of leadership and a total lack of understanding how it really works.  He says that he will “force partisanship out of the town board and revitalize downtown”.  Yes, Mr. Nayer, that is the way to end the bickering, by forcing it. Excuse me, but it sounds like you are bickering already.  And then you are going to revitalize downtown…. Please give us a plan on exactly how you single handily will do that?  What absolute bluster without any substance.  What is your magic idea that you have been hiding from us or is it just words in newspaper?  You sound just like Crowley. He said the same thing four years ago. Do you see a difference?

I was absolutely livid when I read about Luna!

Hi Bob:

 I was absolutely livid when I read about Luna!  This is likely some jerk from out of town getting his/her jollies out, but to murder a horse quietly grazing in her pasture?  I sure hope the "doer" is found.  If there is anything I can do to help Ms. White, let me know.  How sad, that some idiot must kill animals to feel like they are superior!  Humans are the only species to kill for "the fun of it".

A Few Rogue Republicans

To The Editor

It is distressing to learn that campaign signs of Linda Gabaccia, Democratic candidate for Supervisor of Copake, have been stolen from the lawns of a number of Copake residents exercising their free speech tight to endorse their candidate of choice. Other Democratic signs were knocked down and run over.

It is not appropriate to blame the Copake Republican Party for this reprehensible behavior. Jeff Nayer, Linda’s opponent, would neither do this nor sanction it. Republicans I have admired for their public service and contribution to town government would not. Since Linda and Jeff are working together to run campaigns that are respectful of each other and the voters they seek to serve, we feel assured that Republican candidates in Copake have moved beyond the misleading last minute flyers handed out four years ago when it was too late for response expressing the truth. The danger now is that the behavior of a few rogue Republicans will tarnish the campaigns of honorable candidates.

I urge any who may know who is responsible for taking or destroying signs, possibly the same ones who did this four years ago, to inform the Republican candidates and honorable Republican leaders, so they can stop the behavior by informing the perpetra-tors that they are hurting, not helping the campaign.
