It’s December, and that means we’re gearing up for the annual Year in Review, a look at the 10 biggest news stories in Rockland in 2007.
The main criteria we look at is that the news has to be Rockland-specific, so the war in Iraq would not qualify, but news regarding the criminal military case stemming from the fragging death of U.S. Army Capt. Phillip Esposito would.
We’d love your thoughts and suggestions. Some stories we’re looking at so far, in no particular order:
• Election defeats of District Attorney Michael Bongiorno and Haverstraw Mayor Francis “Bud” Wassmer.
• Wyeth Pharmaceuticals celebrates 100 years in Pearl River.
• The rabbi banned from baking matzos on a converted bus in his backyard.
• Rats, roaches in Clarkstown North.
• Scientists at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades share in the Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore.

Clarkstown North High School’s Young Democrats of America will show “An Inconvenient Truth” at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday to teach the students about politics and the role they play in public life. The global warming-themed movie was former Vice President Al Gore’s project. It won an Academy Award earlier this year. The Young Democrats also have invited a board member from the American Constitutional Society to be the keynote speaker.
The event is open to the public.
