Georgine Hyde, Holocaust survivor, ex-E. Ramapo president dies

August 31, 2015 by Michael Castelluccio

The Journal News  August 31, 2015 “Georgine Hyde, an Auschwitz concentration camp survivor who became an educator on the Holocaust, advocate for children and 36-year member of the East Ramapo Board of Education, has died. She was 90. Educating children and adults became Hyde’s passion after she survived the Holocaust and the Auschwitz death camp during World War II and came to the United States in 1952, settling in Pomona in 1957.  She also served as president of the New York State School Boards Association and Rockland Board of Cooperative Services.

Robert Rhodes Remembers Georgine Hyde

August 31, 2015 by Michael Castelluccio

August 26, 2015 by Michael Castelluccio

The Journal News August 26, 2015  “When a video clip of Spring Valley Mayor Demeza Delhomme calling himself “king” surfaced online this week, it joined a lengthy list of high-profile personality conflicts and blow-ups at Village Hall.

Bernard and Brendel Charles still Attracting Lightning

August 20, 2015 by Michael Castelluccio

August 18, 2015  Last week, there was the rally in Spring Valley’s Memorial Park with parents calling for the removal of Bernard Charles from the East Ramapo School Board. Then a video showing wife Brendel hurling profanities at some of the good citizens of the Town, another video of Bernard threatening some of the locals, and a clip of his aggressive response when he was served with the lawsuit papers naming him with the other school board members for the profligate legal fees. And now, with a press release today from Town Councilman Daniel Friedman, there’s a call for Bernard’s removal as Ramapo’s Recreation Activities Coordinator. Friedman’s reasons are a virtual grab-bag of what’s wrong with Ramapo politics—they include nepotism, incompetence, lousy test scores, improper behavior, malfeasance, and not showing up for work. Daniel wants an up-or-down vote at this Thursday’s Town Board meeting. [Read more…]
