JACOBS LIVE REPORTS

JACOBS LIVE

WORKING FOR YOU

Jacobs Live always on the move reporting to the people. Giving you updated information and keeping you informed. I had the privilege to have as my guest last week on my show Mr. Anthony Watson, Recruitment Specialist for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Ulster County. Mr. Watson was a superior guest and a wealth of knowledge. He is making a difference each and every day in the lives of our youth. I strongly recommend that you become involved and research the possibility of becoming a Big Brother or Big sister. The commitment is well worth the time and the rewards will be life changing.

JACOBS LIVE is proud to announce that this week I had Mr. Justin Ihne, Associate Executive Director of the YMCA on my show. Justin has been working for the YMCA for many years and his dedication and commitment to building strong kids, strong families and strong communities is well recognized. Justin welcomes you to to come down to the YMCA and take a tour. They have state of the art equipment and trained specialists there to answer any questions you may have.

Remember the KIDS CLASSIC is coming up on April 17, 2010. This event is a FAMILY AFFAIR. The KIDS CLASSIC started in 1996 and today far exceeds the original expectations. Justin reports that they have over 250 kids pre-registered and more coming in every day. Also check out the Healthy Kids Expo that day. Numerous booths will be available with educational information and fun things for the entire family.

Moving on: the YMCA Camp Seewackamano was the highlight of my children's life. As Justin described last evening the camp builds and shapes our children's character and their future. I urge all parents to inquire regarding this wonderful summer adventure. Your children will share in a time of their lives that will last with them forever.

JACOBS LIVE: also attended the Ulster County Legislature meeting on Tuesday 3/16/10. STANDING ROOM ONLY filled the room. The attendance was superior and the public comment lasted for over two hours. Speakers were very passionate about their subject content and many in the room had the opportunity to hear different views and perspectives on many issues facing our county governmental officials. The Pride of Ulster County Award was presented to the League of Women Voters, by Jeanette Provenzano, Minority Leader and a long time member of the League of Women Voters.

SPEAKERS INCLUDED: Honorable Mr. Paul J. Hansut presented his Majority Address which was compassionate, and right on target as it pertained to the many issues facing our State and local government. He emphasized the importance of the Ulster County Legislature working together in a bi-partisan effort for the residents of Ulster County. Honorable Jeanette Provenzano, Minority Leader, presented her Minority Address outlining many of the accomplishments of the 2009 Ulster County Legislature and their efforts in making change outlining many of them in her speech and their willingness to go forward in working together with the new Chairman for the betterment of Ulster County and the people.

In closing, I would like to mention that we all have to live, raise our children, work and share bread with our fellow man in our community. I take great pride in serving my community and would hope that we can all recognize the importance of this.

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF MATURITY

TIME OUT FOR A LESSON IN LEADERSHIP

Building trust with your followers:

Our nation is maturing and with that maturity comes responsibility. It takes maturity to walk the fine line between avarice and ambition. Our pledge of allegiance says "with liberty and justice or all." If our nation is to remain great we must re-establish what our forefathers created for us:

E pluribus unum, one composed of many. That means working together for our common interests, hopes and values. Our differences are apart of our great strength. Out of this wonderfully diverse mixture has come our shared system of ethical values. We make a difference when we set an example of high ethics. We will continue to have a bright future if we encourage and produce leaders who put ethics at the top of the list of leadership qualities.

Behavior is what evoke a response in others. But behaviors come from attitudes. So as a leader it is important to work on your own ATTITUDE first.

We must all live and raise our families in our community. When we strike out and attack someone personally we should recognize that this affects not only the person but their entire family. I read something today on a BLOG that concerned me considerably, about someone I had the privilege of working with, for so many years when our children attended school together. This BLOGGER needs a lesson in Character Education.

WE HAVE SO MANY ISSUES FACING OUR FINE CITY, COUNTY AND STATE THAT WE SHOULD ALL BE WORKING TOGETHER TO CREATE SOLUTIONS AND STOP THE BASHING.

If you don't agree with the your present government officials, speak out about the issues and step up to the platform and become involved in the process. I recently attended a Common Council meeting at City Hall and there were 10 people there. Where are the people???????

Remember that people depend on a leader to make wise decisions, to be willing to face difficult issues, and to prepare for the future.

Ask yourself did you pass this test?????????????

ARE YOU A TRUE LEADER??????????

"JACOBS LIVE ON THE MOVE"

"Jacobs Live Reports to Her Community".

Last evening I attended the Kingston Common Council meeting at City Hall. I am most concerned with the attendance at these meetings and urge all of you to take a pledge and stand up and become apart of your community. We need residents to take an active role at these meetings and get to know your Alderman in your Ward.

I spoke regarding the most recent Healthy Ulster Summit I attended on 3/2/10. I referenced the importance of bringing everyone under one umbrella in a collaborative effort to make Safety a priority in the City of Kingston. We all realize that statistics are a factor in reporting the increase or decrease in crime but regardless we should continue to be proactive in our MISSION to stamp out violence. We cannot compromise the life of one individual and should always recognize the importance of working together to accomplish this.

Mr. Michael D'ARcy also spoke at the Common Council meeting. His message was empowering and dynamic filled with a passion and a plan for the safety of the citizens of Kingston. Michael and his wife Claudia are the founders of the Kingston New York Neighborhood Watch Group. For more information go to www.kings-ton-ny-neighborhood-watch.com

I was most impressed with the Freeman Front Page article yesterday CITY CRIME FOCUS OF SUMMIT. We as citizens should all be striving to encourage, motivate and promote becoming active in this SUMMIT. There has been a series of violent crimes that has occurred in the city since the beginning of the year. They include a gangland-style assassination of witness on Cedar Street, two cases of assault during which two people were seriously injured, and the mugging of a woman on Wall Street. In 2009 there were 759 serious crimes reported. One crime is to many and we need you to become involved in our Safety Mission for the future in the City of Kingston.

Moving on, I also attended the Ulster County Legislature meeting last night and once again I urge all residents of Ulster County to attend these meetings. Your tax dollars are at work each and every day and your voice can become a powerful component in the process.

Tune in tonight 3/3/10 "Jacobs Live People for People" 8:00 PM-8:30 PM. Tonight my guests will be Mr. Michael D'Arcy, Claudia D'Arcy and John Dowley founders of the Kingston NY Neighborhood Watch.

Stay Tuned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JACOBS LIVE UPDATE

"COMMITTED TO MAKING ULSTER COUNTY

THE HEALTHIEST COUNTY IN NEW YORK STATE"

DYNAMIC AND EMPOWERING SUMMIT

Today I was invited, as a key community partner, to the Healthy Ulster Summit, A Community Conversation sponsored by the Ulster County Department of Health at Ulster County Community College. Under the direction of the Ulster County Public Health Director, LaMar Hasbrouck, MD, MPH and his team of professionals, the summit focused on present health information for the county, including new data. The summit provided a unique opportunity to bring together a diverse group of community partners to help define the next steps for making Healthy Ulster a reality. The summit consisted of introducing a framework of organizing collaborative efforts, brainstorming sessions to identify health indicators, conditions and outcomes, and developing a prioritized agenda and action plan for a Healthy Ulster.

I have worked in the Medical Health care industry over twenty five years and I can assure you this event was a tremendous success. This is only the beginning of working together to improve the health of Ulster County residents.

Dr. LaMar Hasbrouck has a Passion to make Public Health a priority.
