Old Dispatch System Better
To the Editor:
In regards to "Speedier or a Boondoggle? Union City Reps Clash Over Calltaker System" (Feb. 11 atricle): too bad I was not aware of that hearing, because as a retired civilian employee of the Communications Section (Principal Police Communications Technician), I have no gripes to settle and nothing to fear speaking the truth.
The public is being misled. The way the system was set up before the Unified Call Taking process actually was faster and more efficient with the Police calltaker immediately connecting the caller to a Fire Alarm Dispatcher with both operators on the line and the Fire Alarm Dispatcher asking fire-related questions, or an EMS dispatcher asking medical questions, leaving the NYPD employee to handle police-related matters.
And as for the issue of "cell towers", it is a much bigger problem that private -wireless services could work with the city to solve. If your car GPS can pinpoint your exact loction, why can't we pinpoint the exact location of the caller? Why should this matter to me as a retired Police emergency operator, radio dispatcher, and supervisor? Well, I am also a resident of this great city, and it should concern all New Yorkers. But first we have to stop playing with the numbers to cut job when real lives are on the line, including my own.

A book review posted on Barnes & Noble for:
One People, Two Worlds: A Reform Rabbi and an Orthodox Rabbi Explore the Issues That Divide Them
"Way back in Aug or Sept 02 near the High Holy days I came accross this book One People, Two Worlds: A Reform Rabbi and an Orthodox Rabbi Explore the issues That Divide Them. Normally I would have no interest in such a topic, but maybe because it was close to Rosh Hashanah I felt a little more Jewish than usual so I bought this book after reading the first few pages. In recent years I have wanted to get a little closer to my Jewish roots even though I have never been into the religion in general and have even questioned my belief that there is a Higher Power, plus I think the bible conflicts with what we know from science. Anyway, I decided to attend High Holy day services for the first time in years . 
I purchased tickets at a Reform temple but only attended some of the services. I did, however, Fast, for Yom Kippur. A few years ago I visted an Orthodox Shul with a friend who is trying to stay kosher and it is quite interesting how different the lifestyles are, part of which includes the seperation of men and women even to the extent of forbidding holding hands. Now, having said all that, I like reading newpaper editorials, letters to the editor, especially in Time Magazine, and watching the cable news channel programs that match two different views and they debate the issues. Well, this book is like that. These two rabbis go head to head in the form of letters to each other defending their point of view and giving reasons why the other side is either out of date or has gone too far from the orriginal intent of what the religion is supposed to be all about. As I continued reading it I was very turned on by the very intelligent ideas and logic both rabbis used. It didn't make me switch sides but I have a better perspective on the differences between the Reform and Orthodox lifestyles. It really got me to think more about Jewish values and how they relate to living in a modern society. If you liked the fictional book and movie The Chosen you will love this interesting book."
