A Bit of a Twist

Events in town recently have been much like the past winter's snowfalls, 'few & far between', but like politics, less is often more. In the case of the Town of Ulster, less even better.
Supervisor Quigley seems to have managed the impossible. In playing by the rules and letting policy follow process Supervisor Quigley has managed to keep supporters content and detractors appeased, no small task in a small town. There will always be the odd extremest who claims to see the big picture but peers through at it through a microscope often extolling his or her own agenda as what's best for everyone. This elitist mentality, 'what's best for me is what's best for all', as if they have inside information from the great beyond, (they might, it is usually from where they hail), is what has destroyed many a community New York and around the country. The truth is the truth and only a balance between two extremes can benefit everyone in town. We need development, but.... we need smart development and when our elected officials let the process play out as in the case of Ulster Gardens, we can enjoy growth without sacrificing quality of life.
No one needs a history lesson to see the differences in the Town of Ulster today vs. the Town of Ulster just a few short years ago. No 'closed door' sessions, no questionable activities and no 'back room deals'. When you elect officials that lead and put process and policy before politics, the Town and it's residents benefit.

With the month of May just around the corner, the anticipation of summer is teasing parents and children alike, Ulster Little League will be holding Openning Cerimonies this Saturday, UISYTT would like to wish all little leaguers a fun filled and successful baseball season.
Whether or not you have a child participating, come down and watch a game or two this season, even more come down and lend a hand. We've seen the same faces year after year doing the grounds keeping, running the concession stand, coaching and keeping up appearences and we thank each and everyone for their contributions, a few more hands can only make things better.

Can't Take It Anymore!

I don't know if anyone is paying attention, afterall the UlsterReport is filled with such vitriol and inuendo that it is difficult to find any truth at all in it's 'reporting'! We know that the UlsterReport's
mission statement is to slander current TofU Supervisor Jim Quigley, it is troubling however that they will not post comments from anyone who thinks that the Town of Ulster is better off since Woerner was unseated and that Supervisor Quigley has done an admirable job in executing his responsibilities and keeping his promises.
With our current 2 party system of government the entire constiuency will never be fully satisfied with either party in control, it is unproductive however when lies and rhetoric take the place of truth and fact.
It is no differnet on a State or National level and if resident's, citizen's and voters are to get a fair and balanced portrail of their current and aspiring leaders.
