Were You Helped During the Storm? Say Thank You on Patch

Recognize that friend, family or stranger that helped you during or after the Oct. 29 storm.

We heard a lot of stories this week about neighbors helping neighbors this week.

Did someone let you crash on their couch? Cook you a warm meal? Take care of your dog? Shovel you out? Let you watch your favorite TV show while your cable was out? Give you a ride?

We know you've probably thanked them in person, but here's your chance to thank them again, for the community to see.

I heard stories of town employees sleeping for just a few scant hours over the weekend in order to keep warming shelters open for stranded train passengers and seniors.

I've heard stories of neighbors lending extra parts to others so they could run their generators, friends welcoming others into their homes and families cooking for relatives who needed a hot meal.

Local businesses, municiplities and politicans did what they could to help as well. Fire departments lit dark streets with engine lights. Volunteers helped to run warming centers. Daisy Hill Farm and the Bedford Hills Neighborhood Association donated food and funds.

Who helped you during the storm?

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.
