NEIGHBORHOODS

NEIGHBORHOODS

In an effort to work together in the City of Kingston, I was energized and motivated when I attended a Ward 5 Neighborhood Meeting at City Hall, hosted by Alderman, Ms. Jennifer Fuentes, on Friday 2/12/10. Ladies and Gentleman I urge all of you to take ownership and recognize the importance of becoming an involved Citizen in Ward 5 and the City of Kingston. The Block by Block initiative pilot project in the City of Albany, is most impressive and deserves serious consideration. "There are times we must put politics aside and work together for the betterment of our fine city". This is a statement that our Mayor made reference to in his State of the City Speech last week.

Together we can restore HOPE and realize how powerful our voice can be in the process.

Block by Block
Block by Block is an initiative designed to enhance the quality of life in neighborhoods. City staff is moving block by block, building by building and lot by lot through the City of Albany to strategically address code compliance, public safety, abandoned buildings and community development. At the same time, the initiative is taking a hard look at the City's business model and information flow to create an updated and more efficient system for communication between City departments.

JACOBS LIVE REPORTS

Well I have been out and about working and partnering with my public so I can continue to be a voice for YOU the PEOPLE. Jacobs Live is always keeping her pulse on the media and ready to bring you the story. Starting the new Year I had the privilege to attend the New Years Day swearing in Ceremony of the Kingston Common Council Committee Members. A New Year a New beginning was the message throughout City Hall. I also had the privilege to attend the swearing in Ceremony for Mr. Donald Williams, and Mr. Fred Wadnola. The energy and the motivation in the audience was superior and heartwarming. This is a time for celebration and restoring hope to the people. I have had many extraordinary and distinguished guests on my Show "Jacobs Live People for People" over the last several months who include, Mr. Brian Shapiro Executive Director of the UCSPCA, Mr. Robert Conklin Executive Director of the YMCA, Dr. Ellis Lader, prominent Cardiologist, Mr. Art Richter, (Health Care That Matters Producer). Ms. Su Marcy, V.P. Ulster United Way, Mr. Edward Gaddy, Chairman, Conservative Party of Ulster County, Ms. Laura Petit, Ulster County Legislator, Ms. Jennifer Fuentes, Alderman Ward 5 City of Kingston and Mr. Leonard Walker, Former Alderman Ward 3, City of Kingston and Founder of the Guardian Angels Chapter in the City of Kingston. I also had the privilege to attend Mr. George Phillips Campaign Meet and Greet at the Holiday Inn. He is setting the platform for a very positive campaign as the Republican Candidate for Congress. His message to the audience was strong and filled with HOPE for the future. I also attended the State of the Union Address at City Hall by the Honorable James Sottile. I urge everyone to take ownership and realize the importance of attending these meetings. Your tax dollars are working each and every day and your voice is required in order for us to focus and move forward. We must put politics aside and work for the betterment of our community. I also attended the Kingston City School District Round Table at the George Washington School on 2/8/10. I commend the KCSD Administration and the Board of Education for realizing the importance of including the public and giving them a voice in the process. The highlight of my attendance at meetings recently was the Ulster County Public Health Monthly meeting on 2/8/10. Ladies and Gentleman having been a professional in the Medical Health Care Industry for many years, I announce to you, Ulster County is most fortunate to have hired Ulster County Public Health Director Dr. LeMar Hasbrouck. His presentation and Mission and Vision for the future was filled with a passion for success and a persistence to Make A Difference for the residents of Ulster County. Continuing Education and the willingness to partner with the Medical Health Community will be the key to attaining his goals. Everyone should welcome him and his family to Ulster County. We must all take a positive approach by preserving our heritage and working together to improve our community. LEAD BY EXAMPLE Please contact me with your comments, ideas, and suggestions for the future.

"COMMON GOAL WORKING TOGETHER"

I was most impressed today, while listening to the WGHQ Kingston Community Radio station. Mayor James Sottile during his guest appearance, made a most commendable statement, as it relates to the recently elected Republican Town of Ulster Supervisor, Mr. James Quigley. Mayor's comments reflected," How he is looking forward to a partnership in working with Mr. Quigley on behalf of Ulster County, the City of Kingston and the People. " This statement represents two Leaders of different political parties that are willing to come together and work on issues, and solutions that could save money, increase employment, and build the economic growth and development we need for our future.

I would also like to congratulate Walter Maxwell and the Feel Good Friday regulars for a superior performance in raising over $3,000 today on the KCR ra-dio-thon. Kingston Community Radio is an important part of the community, interviewing community leaders and taking calls from the listeners. Today there was a Common Goal in Working Together to raise funds so Kingston Community Radio remains on the air. KUDOS to a job well done and to all of the people that donated to this wonderful cause.

Happy Birthday Leonard Walker January 5th, 2010

I would like to take this opportunity to wish a very Happy Birthday today, to an exceptional friend of mine over the last 30 years, Mr. Leonard Walker. Leonard Walker has given back to his community for more years than you can imagine. He has been a true friend of the family and so respected by my father the late James Wells. Words cannot express the gratitude and appreciation that I felt in my heart, when Leonard spoke at my fathers funeral church service in September 2009. I will never forget his words of wisdom and the compassion he had for my father. Leonard worked for my father for many years and they developed a bond that was exceptional.

Happy Birthday today to my dear friend Leonard Walker.

Wishing you many more in the years ahead.

Love and Best Wishes from the Jacobs family.

JACOBS LIVE ON TOUR

I am extending a very Happy New Year to my viewers and suggest that everyone realize the importance of what the New Year 2010 will mean to them. Jacobs Live has been on tour over the last week attending many community festivities and hosting my Channel 23 Public Access Happy New Year show. I was privileged to have as my guest this past week, Mr. Edward Gaddy, Chairman of the Conservative Party in Ulster County. Ed is a wealth of knowledge and he does his homework, recognizing the importance of giving back to his community. Ed and Imre Beke also host a weekly radio show, RITE TIME RADIO on WKNY every Friday evening from

6:00 PM-7:00 PM. Tune in for a great show with Imre and Ed.

January 1st, 2010 I attended the Kingston New York Common Council Organizational Meeting hosted at City Hall. The meeting was well attended by many area dignitaries and community members. The room was filled with a flare of new beginnings and Voices of Praise from the Pointe of Praise Church gave an outstanding performance that left you spellbound. It was simply magnificent. The Honorable Judge Ball administered the oath of office and Mr. James Noble, Alderman At Large commented, "that he is optimistic that council members will be able to work with Mayor Sottile to address problems that are in the horizon for 2010".

Moving on to Saturday January 2, 2010 at 11:00 AM, I had the privilege to attend the administering of the Oath of Office to Mr. Donald Williams at the Ulster County Courthouse. Standing room only filled the courthouse and it was a day to remember in the City of Kingston. Many area judges and dignitaries filled the room in celebration of Mr. Donald Williams and his accomplishments. At the end of the ceremony, an invitation was extended to all in attendance to join in a celebration at the Skytop Restaurant. The Skytop Celebration was magnificent and the food and conversation was the perfect ending to an outstanding day.

Wishing all my family, my viewers and my community a very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year 2010.
