GEM CRAFT BOUTIQUE- A SOHO-STYLE SHOP WITH A CIVIC CONSCIENCE

Gem Craft Boutique, open since June 2012, was inspired by similar shops in Soho and represents the fruition of owner Deborah Orgel-Gordon's life's work experiences, from helping out her mother as a young girl in a Ridgewood jewelry shop to her 16 years as a travel consultant that gave her the opportunity to "discover fabulous finds to share with customers and friends."  It is that enjoyment of sharing new discoveries that has given rise to the boutique's eclectic mix of offerings.  READ MORE

November 20, 2014 -- A Glenwood Landing resident has petitioned New York State Commissioner of Education John King to invalidate this past May’s North Shore Board of Education election - a vote in which more than 2,400 residents participated.  The petition, obtained by Northwordnews  through a  Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request to the New York State Department of Education, was filed by Christine McDonough and received by State Ed on June 20.  Alleging that “unfair” conduct kept candidate Robert Mazzella from winning one of the two open seats on the School Board, Ms. McDonough requests a re-vote, or that Trustee Joanna Commander, who finished first in the balloting, be removed from the Board and Mr. Mazzella awarded the position. . .  
According to the three School Board election voter poll lists FOILed by Northwordnews, Ms. McDonough was not among the more than 2400 residents who cast ballots in the election that she is challenging. . . .  READ MORE
