'I'm Just Not Buying It!'

The Douglas Kennedy trial, the death of a man during a 10K, and a brutal beating in Ossining are just some of the topics that got Patch users talking on our comments board last week.

ER Doc Felt Taking Kennedy Baby Outside Was 'Fine'

"I can't see how anyone could say that Douglas Kennedy would do anything to hurt or cause harm to his new born baby Bo. I'm just not buying it! ~ The Westchester News" -- The Westchester News

... and ...

"As a pediatric nurse working many years myself in infant/maternity area, I can tell you that NO hospital allows a baby to be carried through the halls by a parent or staff. Furthermore, what kind of parent would carry their newborn outside in JANUARY dressed only in a diaper, T-shirt and a blanket ?" -- rene

Students Brutally Beaten in Ossining

"This is a very unfortunate occurrence. Not only did the Sleepy Hollow kids get black eyes, this will leave an enduring black eye on the reputation of Ossining and Ossining High School. Hopefully, OHS can use this incident, to give guidance to the students, about respect and tolerance." -- Jim

Peekskill Holds First Public Hearing on Budget

"One way or the other the budget has to be balanced. Cut expenses and or raise taxes. Either way people will be hurt. Taxes are raised, rents go up so its not just the homeowners that will pay the increase. The buy out is a good option as it at least gives some employees close to retirement a change to go out with dignity and a little extra cash." -- john basic

Orangetown Prepares For Storm

"It's amazing how we all survived years ago." -- Sick-n-Tired

Man Dies Shortly After Sleepy Hollow 10K

"I hope we can learn something from all of this. First, I am no doctor, nor am I an EMT. I am a runner. I have learned about cardiac arrest from a good friend who teaches CPR for a living. First, those who are EMT's who volunteer for the ambulance corps in our communities are heroes. They give up time to try to serve the community by saving lives. In August of 2011, my life was saved by the Congers Valley Cottage ambulance crew so i have the utmost respect for these individuals. I was involved in a bicycle accident and suffered severe head and facial injuries. Now, back to my point. More facts will come out in the coming days, and many of them may take focus off what we as citizens can control and what we cannot. If this runner went into sudden cardiac arrest, which is what i believe happened here, whether an ambulance got there in 8 minutes or 12 minutes or whatever amount of minutes, it may not have been the most critical factor in this story. This story is about a man who died to young, and education of sudden cardiac arrest and CPR. When someone goes into sudden cardiac arrest, the most important thing is getting the victim CPR immediately.... In those minutes we wait for the ambulance. We should not be looking to blame for things we can't control and we should all focus on what we can control, and we can all learn CPR in less than a half day by becoming certified. Thank you" -- Seidey

VIDEO: Undefeated Bears Talk Tonight's Playoff Game

"Last night's win over Panas was by far the best game. McNeill's call for what would turn out to be the winning touchdown was artwork. Coach Mulvihill is not only an outstanding Middle School math teacher, but will go on the record books as one of the best H.S. Football coaches. It will be interesting to see what he looks like with bleached hair!" -- Karl

Tappan Zee Bridge Deck Replacement Continues

"What a waste of money when they are replacing the bridge soon." -- John Doe

This is a terrific addition to town! I know I struggle with mounting piles of things to donate andRead More finding places to give to. With the Community Center and now Goodwill, great to find a second home for goods.

Okay but let's focus on the charter of the BOE. The Board of Education believes its primaryRead More responsibility should focus on creating an educational environment that will help our students become knowledgeable individuals, problem-solvers, quality producers, effective communicators, wholesome individuals, collaborative workers, ethical individuals, life-long learners, and responsible, accepting and involved citizens. We remain committed to providing a high quality, well-balanced educational program that supports our faculty and staff and helps our students meet and exceed State standards as well as high district goals. It says nothing about protecting the investments of taxpayers by voting "no" on every expenditure. We need forward thinking, broad minded individuals to help guide educational direction of our schools. Keeping expenses reasonable and and in check should be a consideration by the educational focus should be primary. Although novices, Trustees Tobin and Schiff have helped true the course of the board back to the direction of education. Mr Stone who himself admitted he had never even been to a BOE meeting before deciding to run offers no sense of motivation other than Dr Treyz and his friends think he'll help shift the direction back toward finance. Mr Holbrook is no different a candidate than Mr Lipton himself was 6 years ago.
