The Blaze is Back and Better Than Ever
Caedra Scott-Flaherty — September 18, 2023
  
The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze: Hudson Valley is back in town! My family couldn’t wait to finally go, because the “town” in “back in town” happens to be our town, so we’d caught glimpses of the annual event’s set-up while getting groceries and picking up pizza at the ShopRite Center next door.

There are certain things we’ve come to expect from The Blaze (which my two kids lovingly call “The Pumpkin Thing”): an incredible amount of expertly carved and illuminated Jack O’Lanterns (about 7,000 to be almost-exact), an original atmospheric soundtrack, pumpkin-themed gifts, and autumnal treats. All these things were there, but there was more, too.

The “jack” smith was back this year, after making its debut last year to the delight of my horror-loving kid, wielding its ax over its poor bodiless victim. The Blazin’ River display was back, too (my personal favorite) with its lit-up water and luminescent underwater creatures. All the favorites from years past were there, but this year there were a few new additions: READ AND SEE MORE AT The Blaze is Back and Better Than Ever – River Journal Online – News for Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, Irvington, Ossining, Briarcliff Manor, Croton-on-Hudson, Cortlandt and Peekskill

BLM TRIES TO GET THE GRAVY TRAIN FLOWING AGAIN IN LOS ANGELES

Opinion by Christopher Tremoglie•5h

After a seemingly years-long hiatus of indulging in the mansions, luxuries, and millions of dollars in wealth they obtained by exploiting the "white guilt" of many liberals, Black Lives Matter resurfaced this week in Los Angeles in a desperate attempt to regain relevance and once again restart deposits to its bank accounts.

The financially exploitative group disrupted a meeting of the Los Angeles Police Department Board of Police Commissioners earlier this week to demand the removal of Michel Moore, chief of the Los Angeles Police Department.

The basis for the group’s latest phony fundraising scheme? BLM claimed that Moore didn’t protect black people in Los Angeles and failed to demonstrate leadership, the Washington Examiner reported.

“We are here because our community continues to be abused,” Stephen “Cue” Jn-Marie of the Row Church said. “We have family, after family, after family — we’ve been coming to this commission since 2015, and some of us even before that."

“We’re here today to call on Michel Moore’s removal,” said Melina Abdullah, a BLM organizer and current professor at California State University Los Angeles. “We’re here today because the stolen lives have to stop. The killing of black people and killing of Angelenos at the hands of police has to stop. We’re now saying we can’t let another day go by, another life be stolen, without rising up as a city and saying Moore must go. No more Moore.”

These are the same kind of hollow accusations the group used to promote deceitful lies such as “Hands up, don’t shoot.” BLM’s actions at this week’s LAPD meeting are nothing more than a money-making scheme. The group must need a new revenue stream because its bank accounts are probably drying up — a point made by the board of directors of the Los Angeles Police Protective League.

“With all the published financial and nepotism accusations swirling around the BLM leadership, we suggest they get their own house in order and focus on actually accomplishing something, anything, that will make LA safer,” a statement from the LAPPL read....
