The Hoboken Host Committee announces:
The Hoboken Host Committee, an independent initiative spearheaded by members of the community in an effort to optimizeCommittee Chairman Scott Katz says, “The motivation of this committee is to get people actively engaged in events and activities that
emphasize the spirit of cooperation and support found in Hoboken’s business community. With a wide range of terrific shopping
options, the city’s boutiques seem like a great place to start.”
The nation celebrates its birthday and if one looks back 236 years ago, the circumstances of its birth are worth more than a minute of reflection.
The signers of the Declaration of Independence did so under duress. It was considered an act of treason against King George and the penalty was death. Representatives however from 12 of the 13 colonies voted on this day to go ahead and approve a document declaring a tyranny of dependence on England null and void.
They choose to void security and many of the signers were very highly educated and secure in their standing. In the face of certain death at the hands of the British crown Benjamin Franklin quipped, “Yes, we must indeed all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
 Shakespeare got a lot right when it comes to human nature and of course that’s an understatement. It’s July and the ides are not March but just as fitting. In July 2009, Peter Cammarano thought he was on top of the world. A compliant local media crowned him the kingmaker of Hoboken, Governor Jon Corzine feted him in a celebratory 4th of July party at his million dollar digs on the river and eyes cockily looked beyond Hoboken to Trenton, and Washington. Unlike Shakespeare’s meticulous labor, Hoboken barely took pause. Out with the old Old Guard failure and in with the new Old Guard. The hubris cranked up and the line formed quickly with the fourth ward quickly taking the place of City Hall’s mayor seat like dominoes.  Submitted for your approval, the occupant of the 4th ward council seat seeking to repair the damage for reversing his vote for a Southwest Park. Timmy Occhipinti who has kept silent about his “no” vote for the ramped up negotiations with the possible use of eminent domain to purchase a surface parking lot went on video with Hudson County TV to explain his no vote. In the video Occhipinti speaks about negotiations being needed without any use of eminent domain. The City took up the challenge of ramping up negotiations for a Southwest Park with reluctant land owners in the fourth ward after Occhipinti voted for the use of eminent domain in the City Council last year.  This afternoon Euro Cup defending champions Spain will face off against Italy in a final for all the marbles in Kiev, Ukraine’s Olympic Stadium. As if the prize of the championship is not sufficient, history weighs in the balance as well. Spain is the 2008 Euro Cup and 2010 World Cup defending champion. A “triple” is unprecedented and now a rising Italy is the last foe standing in their way. In their opening match in the tournament, the two sides squared off to a 1-1 draw. Italy demonstrated a willingness to match Spain all over the field. Today they face an opponent well rested as the tournament schedule has favored Spain.
