Union Contract Dispute Hits Woodbury Streets
Members of a local grocery-workers union say Kowalski’s has offered a “substandard” contract to the group.
Dozens of members of a local grocery-workers union held a rally outside Kowalski’s in Woodbury on Wednesday. The United Food and Commercial Workers 1189 is embroiled in a contract dispute with several grocers, including Kowalski’s, which union officials say has backed out of negotiations and offered only a “substandard” and “illegal” proposal. Officials at the Woodbury Kowalski’s would not comment on camera, but did provide Patch with a statement. “On August 1st Kowalski’s Company implemented a new contract that provides a secure and stable retirement savings choice for our union employees. Kowalski’s has met with the UFCW 1189 Union Leadership and employees that are on the bargaining committee since January 13th to negotiate a new …

It's Slow Growing in Woodbury Gardens
Thanks to a cold and wet spring, this gardening season is definitely a late bloomer
If you are a gardener who is itching to get your hands into the dirt, you've probably felt like substituting a pair of mittens for the traditional gardening gloves. Despite the nice weather earlier this week, it is "same old, same cold" for those who are eager to start planting. "We have had a slow start," said Sue Ngo of Lilli's Nursery, located at 6895 Bailey Road. "The weather has been kind of cold." Compared to last year's early spring, when the lilacs had already bloomed and were almost gone by this time, this late spring has been a disappointment. "Is this the latest spring we've had? I don't think so," said Al Kiel, manager at Frattallone's Ace Hardware in Valley Creek Mall. "But it's definitely been unusual." The Frattallone's in …

Red Velvet Cake: Make Something Special for Mom
A step-by-step guide to making Mom happy this Sunday.
I think mothers are amazing. My friends and relatives who are mothers are amazing. My mother is amazing. In fact, I never knew how amazing I could be until I became a mother. If you have a mother or know a mother, you should tell her on Mother’s Day that she’s amazing. Until I became a mother I had no idea the amount of selflessness it takes to always let someone else have the last piece of cake, to stay up all night with your sick child and go to work the next day, to virtually give up any hope of ever watching prime-time television again—and to settle in to a life that will be more giving than taking. I always put “ability to multitask” on my résumé but until I joined The Motherhood, I had no idea the skill set required, not to mention …

(New) Clothing Optional
I haven't purchased new clothes since July—not getting preachy, just creative.
I once read about a woman who didn't buy new clothes for an entire year. I marveled at this, wondered how it was possible. Then I stopped to think about how often I purchased new clothing for myself. I couldn't answer my own question. If ever I felt a need to replenish or update my wardrobe, I did. If I saw a bargain at a "buy anything and everything" retailer, I'd slip it in the cart alongside my laundry soap and cold medicine. Later, a conversation with a friend focused on the latest trend in jeans—narrower legs, darker wash, etc. She was deciding which of the newest styles to try. I did a mental count of the jeans in my closet. Five. That may sound like a little or a lot, depending on your perspective. But it's one for every weekday. …

What Kowalski's notably leaves out of their statement is that 1. They have frozen wages for their employees for two years, and 2. Have cut out the 50 cent per hour extra that workers receive for Sunday. Workers for all the other grocery retailers still receive this. more ›
