With the Special Election for the 89th State Assembly seat coming up tomorrow, February 9, New Castle has been much more than a mere whistle stop on the New York State Assembly main line.  Not only did it host the League of Women Voter’s Candidates’ Night last Thursday, but the two candidates, Bob Castelli and Peter Harckham, and sitting Assemblymen like George Latimer have been visiting town with pleasing regularity.

Just as a batch of ten Cablevision channels, including C-Span’s Book TV, shifted last spring from analog to digital-only, so too, the “PEG” channels – “public, educational and government,” 75, 77 and 78 – will follow suit and move to digital-only on September 16, 2008. That means they will only be available on televisions that have a digital cable box, at $6.50 per box, per month.

Last summer, before we first published our online community newspaper, we grabbed as many of you as we could and said, “You know all those meetings you don’t have time to attend, and, when you DO attend them, you don’t know what anyone’s talking about? Well, that’s where we think NewCastleNOW.org will help.”
