What's Open & Closed in Babylon Today: Nov. 1st

Three days after Sandy battered Long Island, some life returns to our area.

Babylon Village enters the third day after Superstorm Sandy slammed through Long Island, bringing destruction and devestation throughout the tri-state area. With power remaining out to most of the village and neighboring West Babylon, it is no surprise that most places are closed.

However, some life is returning as the power slowly creeps back on.

If you own a business or organization and would like to announce its closure OR opening, please do so by adding a comment below or email the editor.

As I explained, my post was made on behalf of another village resident. However, I did take theRead More time to read the statute and do have an independent viewpoint on this subject. While I do not feel that all dogs require a muzzle at all times, if you have a dog that you know to be a threat to other dogs or humans, you would have a duty to take measures to eliminate that threat before bring that dog into public. If that measure is a muzzle, then that's what must be done. As my post indicated, I believe strict enforcement would be exceedingly difficult and, perhaps, unnecessary (at least with respect to the muzzle requirement). However, a total lack of enforcement is dangerous and unacceptable. I think a little common sense goes a long way and I have confidence that those charged with enforcing the Village code could do so selectively. I understand that selective enforcement may be a concept that many feel uncomfortable with. However, just because the law requires a muzzle, that is hardly a reason to disregard it in its entirety and allow dogs with vicious propensities to roam around unleashed. I will leave it up to Village lawmakers to remove the muzzle requirement (and suggest that they do so) if that is what it would take to make people comfortable with the leash requirement.
