EXTREME MAKEOVER LONG ISLAND EDITION: Help Nominate Nassau Coliseum
So, I got this note today, as the show is looking to do a home on Long Island. I can think of no better family more deserving of a new home as NY Islander fans. Do you know someone whose home deserves an Extreme Makeover? If so, the producers of ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition [...]
IS IT THE END OF DAYS FOR THE LIGHTHOUSE PROJECT?
It is a volatile time for NY Islanders fans. We as fans have been asked a lot, and then left for dead by both the Town of Hempstead and the Lighthouse Project. The Town of Hempstead has a lot to answer for in the poor communication and handling of this large project and to working [...]
RUMOR: Charles Wang Looking to Sell?
Funny thing happened on last night’s HNIC telecast…they had a quick blurb on that Charles Wang was fed-up with the Lighthouse situation and was looking to sell the team.

Charles Wang confirmed this to me at Thursday’s hearing when I spoke [...]
NY ISLES LIGHTHOUSE PROJECT GETS LEASE FROM COUNTY: Video From the Press Conference
Today, I went over to Mineola to be there for when Tom Suozzi announced that he and the Lighthouse Project’s Charles Wang and Scott Rechler came to a lease agreement. I expected the usual fare, with them putting the pressure onto the Town of Hempstead as the “certainty” deadline quickly approaches a mere few days [...]
Wang & Kate Plus Fate
by Brenna Solop You know that show on cable where the chick with the short, choppy blond hair and the Asian-American dude are always locking horns, and the fates of lots of children hang in the balance? No, not the one on The Learning Channel. I mean the one on News 12, the one determining [...]
