  1. Mr. Breig - I watched those divers for a while and it looked very low tech as I saw four guys in water up to their necks pulling weeds but I must say the initial results are encouraging. The lake looks much better already and it's good to know they will be back. But still it seems that in the year 2012 there must be a more effective way to do this. I think the town board said there was another option but it was radically more expensive so this was the way they chose. I hope it works because the lake is important to the morale of the people in Hampton Manor, many of whom are hurting in the current economic climate.

  2. Mr. Breig did not post this, thus it is unlkely he will reply.

    Supposedly, this is the most effective way to deal with the milfoil as the plants are removed with thier root system.

  3. Hand pulling with later treatment of the bottom is considered effective only for mild milfoil infestations.

    Hand pulling is effective only if the divers remove the entire root crown and do not leave fragments.

    Once all pulling is complete it is recommended that the pond bottom be covered with a barrier type of product.

    Where the infestation is greater herbicides are the only proven and effective form of treatment.

    Langley's lack of an open government policy make it difficult to impossible to understand how much research into the most effective form of removal was investigated but let's hope for the best.

    1. you people are weird; your pissed if nothing is done; then when something is done; you have all kids of negative feedback --- why didn't a group of you offer to do it yourself and save the town alot of money@

      All talkers - BS ers; guess that what politics is all about; you got those that really and those that back stab and delegate; guess you're a delegator; lets see you down there on Saturday pulling those weeds and shoveling the sludge. yeah right. Talk talk talk.

    2. Hand harvesting allows for selective weeding of milfoil without pulling up beneficial plant life. Furthermore, the barrier type of product you mention will likely prevent the growth of all water plant life, not the dessired outcome.

  6. While I agree that people have a right to FOIL information from Town Hall, Dwight Jenkins has taken the right to FOIL to new levels of ridiculous. If Mr. Jenkins continues to harass the employees with his ridiculous request after request, I feel the town attorney should get involved. I can't believe it is alright for an out of control person to try and tie up Town Hall and the Town Clerk Department.

    Dwight already has an agenda of harassment towards the town leadership and employees. Dwight, I truly feel sorry for you - please get some help.

    1. Still Sane....why do you feel sorry for Dwight? If you read his ramblings, you'll find he is nothing but a bully. He tries to intimidate people, talk down to people and exert his will and beliefs on others. Disagree with Dwight and he'll piss on your grave as he pisses on signs left in his neighborhood. I do agree with you Still Sane, that he needs to see someone for help....and soon.

  7. It has been well documented over the past few years of exactly what Dwights agenda is: to disrupt and continually harass the Town Board, mostly because he doesn't get his way and he doesn't like any of them! Sound familiar?
    Dwight brings up issue after issue that mean virtually NOTHING to 99% of anyone else, but Dwight, Johnson, Mooney, CRISTO and TAYLOR all think its a matter of life and death !
    Dwight ; while I refuse to repeat what others have written in the past, I really wish you peace, a better Doctor , and some time away from it all to sit and read poetry .
    You need some serious down time mister !

  8. As we approach the Holiday of Christmas and a time of giving, I'd like to take up a collection for Dwight Jenkins: to buy him a new JACKET-that's the STRAIGHT scoop!

  9. kinda funny that NO ONE is responding to DJ@ and his ridiculous rants on his new trash page. He's too arrogant or ignorant to realize no one gives a sh*t about his opinion. STBU Dwight !

    At what point does anyone call bullsh*t on some of Dwights rants?? I agree wholeheartedly with 1029...let him vent , but when you go from the ridiculous to the sublime.....at what point does someone stop the madness??

    Dwight - your village called again.....

  12. ALL OF THESE sights including Dwights and the gadfly's are just a "gossip column" for those who are angry and bitter - and want to vent.

    If something of value comes from these sights, so be it;
    thats a good thing. Their like a "Dear Abby".

    I feel its a waste of time for all of you to sit and write about complaints - go talk to the person themself that you're bitching about; you can't do that - it would mean getting off your butt and face facts head on or really trying to be honest and open with that individual. Yadda Yadda Yadda. Won't be too soon for me that these nasty words STOP. Who's man enough to say lets stop writing OR start a positive EG talks and Gadflies; only open to positive feedback; betcha nobody does that!

  13. well, it appears dj2 was at the last board meeting

    did he say anything of value, share his wisdom witht the board and the public?

    just sayin'

  14. I have to believe that this blog is run by a bunch of town employees since you all seem to know a lot of inside information. Am I right?

  15. Dear BEE NICE:

    It should interest you to know that Mr. Jenkins, and others, have repeatedely invited the unknown administrators and writers on this blog to meet and discuss various town matters. Mr. Jenkins went so far as to suggest basic ground rules.

    Each and every such suggestion has been either ignored or mocked.

    Mr. Johnson has repeatedely asked one of the unknown bloggers on this site to FOIL for, and post, the letter signed by some 50 + town taxpayers that was sent to the OSC. That suggestion also was ignored and mocked.

    For myself I have gone from being a mere "gadfly" to a "carpetbagger". I think that suggests that I have not lived in our town long enough to be involved in how our town is governed.

    So, there you go. If this gets posted pay attention to the responses it elicitis.

    1. Well Ray - for starters : you are a complete HYPOCRITE! You dared to write over on the Johnson turd page that only people here write nasty and offensive things. WRONG! You lying pr*ck! You called Phil Malone every name in the book. Deny that ! You cry baby- go write over to the few minions that actually fall for your line of garbage. You want nothing to do with bettering this Town. Neither does Dwight nor Johnson. Your one and only goal in whats left of your miserable existence is to throw as much mud agsinst the wall to see what sticks. You have no real goal nor any real point to all your foolish banter.
      As far as Dons request - 50+ signatures is BOGUS or he'd have posted it already. The onus is on HIM to post it- he has a copy of it ! Dwight could care less what ANYONE else thinks. Why would anyone of any real substance remotely contemplate speaking or trying to have any productive dialog with those two? What would it produce anyway? and BTW: stop blaming innocent people for things you clearly CAN'T PROVE! Johnson has a knack for labeling folks because he doesn't like them !
      And lest YOU forget - all this bullsh*t blogging started with MIKE CRISTO. Then - finally - the TIMES UNION threw him off their page because of his continual lying. He started his own blog, which shut down and led to Johnson starting his own. Dwight started, stopped, started again, stopped and has again started.
      EGTALKS has sustained the storm and is still here for folks who refuse to allow YOU, Johnson, Jenkins and Airaido to carry on without dispute. Democracy in action! Get over yourself !

  16. Game on:

    I post under my name and you post under a fake name and I am the hypocrit?

    Don runs his blog openly using his own name and the people who run this blog do not and Don is another hypocrit?

    Oh well, thanks for your thoughtful comments.

    Kind of ironic isn't it?

  17. I couldn't care less what name you post under. Once again, your little game of bait and switch isn't fooling anyone. Your a damn fool to think no one is onto your foolish banter.
    Your sitting on your highchair, labeling people for saying your a gadfly or carpet bagger. Well that is EXACTLY what I was speaking to, not who goes by what moniker or anything else. You made the statement then you conveniently forgot ALL the trashy names YOU labeled Phil Malone. Once again - YOU ARE THE HYPOCRIT! Get over yourself !
    The freak show you and Johnson call his little turd blog simply looks to defame and label people for your political gamesmanship and no other reason. No one in their right mind would sign their legitimate name for you lunatics !

  18. Game on ~ why bother ? Mooney or Johnson , doesn't matter. They have no comprehension or honor. They've done exactly nothing for the Town , only complain and throw stones. They are not worth anyone's efforts.

  19. Here's my question for the day? What was that resolution about putting in a sewer system up on Thompson Hill to help out some employer up there who had a busted septic tank? I hear the guy has more money than G-d and wanted the town to pay for it? Why couldn't the rich B-----d put in a new septic tank anyway? Do you guys know anything about that?
    And by the way, I am not one of the gang of 5 or 7 you knock all day long.

    Game On and GW II : you brought up a very good point and one thats been mentioned previously. Exactly what have Johnson,Jenkins,Mooney,Taylor,Cristo,Airaido,Mulvey or any of the other minions done on behalf of any organization in East Greenbush? They sit and throw stones and cast aspersions-( a damaging or derogatory remark or criticism; slander: casting aspersions on a campaign rival. 2. the act of slandering; vilification; defamation;)
    yet in all the b-s that they write or speak, not one of them has ever contributed to the betterment of our Town. Can someone prove me wrong??

  25. Cristo has caused more hard feelings in this town than anyone you could possibly think of. He and his gf have been a thorn in everyone's side. That family had it made when Angelini was alive - he was even getting tired of "I want I want!" Now he barely shows his face in this town - he made his bed and he can lie in it for the rest of his life with the wicked witch! Johnson, Jenkins and Mooney - are all bored with life and are trying to make a difference; in their own la la world in which they live. Mulvey - he'll live off the fruits of his wife for the rest of his life! Unless he changes his "big bully-sarcastic" way of thinking; he's a know it all and knows very little!

  28. too bad the Town can't foil all his FOILs

  29. Why is he so interested in Town stuff? The Town has been fine for years and years; now all of a sudden these last two or three years - these jackasses like DJ, RM, The Grants; they're all bored to tears with life - and now VOILA; they're going to make a difference - and do what?

    NOTHING! What a bunch of jackasses.

    1. He's an insufferable jack-ass ! He is exactly a duplicate of Don Johnson. They think they know whats right and correct for East Greenbush. They think they know more than our elected officials.
      Funny , they are fading away like their mentor Cristo. Word on the street is the little has been has been told by County republicans that they are NOT supporting his re-election bid. Go figure. Even morons like Rich Crist have enough common sense to walk away from a hot turd like Cristo.

    2. Dwight writes that Matters recent political contribution to my toilet paper collection is a reasonable approach to the ethics issue. Since when has the absent councilman made any sense let alone a reasonable contribution to the Town. Most every thing the guy touches turns to garbage. He's ridiculously and pathetically the biggest procrastinator this Town has ever seen!
