Today's adults grew up in a climate of expanding women's rights. Now many of these rights are under fierce attack. To develop ways to combat this trend the Reconstructionist Synaogue of the North Shore (RSNS) is hosting a forum at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 18, to address urgent issues on the national and local agenda.The speakers will be two distinguished leaders in protecting women’s rights: Nassau Civil Liberties Union President Roy Klein who will speak on "Women's Reproductive Health Rights; A Brief Legal and Political Historyand Nassau Planned Parenthood President Joann Smith: "Women's Health Care: What's at Stake." 

Representatives of local government, community and religious organizations will join together at this forum, which is envisioned as the first of several leading to an action program. There will be a Q and A session following the speeches and will be moderated by Rabbi Lee Friedlander of RSNS. Refreshments will be served. Please RSVP to: rsns@optonline.net

The Reconstructionist Synagogue of the North Shore is located at1001 Plandome Road, Plandome (Manhasset), NY 11030.

I hope the closing is only temporary. I purchased milk and other items from Dairy Barn for manyRead More years. Always got good quality products. Never had a problem.

With the loss of "D-Barn", the lack of a drive-through convenience store creates a voidRead More worth filling.

There was very little publicity about the budget this year. I was disappointed that the increase wasRead More over 3.5 percent. We still haven't addressed the salary issues and maybe we never will. Until the salary and benefit package is decreased, there will never be a reduction in the cost of education in Port Washinton.

What does it matter? No matter what you do, the budget increase will pass. Just empty your pocketsRead More and move on.

Historically, that was a problem with "NO" voters...

if we are going to sell off our 40 spot lot why not advocate for the LIRR to chip in and helpRead More building the 2 or 3 story parking lot on Haven? with more trains and more population we need more parking. we are fooling ourselves that this is not a "Hicksville" type train station. we are a main hub and it needs a substantial parking lot that will help commuter parking and help retail parking in the main lots off of main street. anyone who does not want that parking lot built needs to really ask themselves why not. if we can build a new car wash on a main cut through street for no reason we can get this done with the same traffic nightmares!!! BTW during construction which im sure will take at least a year. where will those people park? in the other lots, so us who take the 808 train will get screwed bc we will not have a place to park now.

Good spot for a multi-story municipal/LIRR garage, given the height of terrain behind it.
Bob May 20, 2013 at 06:28 pm
I agree. This lot should be open all the time. Maybe there is a potential liability issue butRead More let's see if it can be worked out.

A 135 million dollar budget with another 5 million+ assured for next year, teachers have to buyRead More "school supplies" in Port Washington? Are you kidding?
