Bedford Daredevil Takes on Long Island Sound Surf

Windsurfers descended upon Crab Meadow Beach in Northport Sunday to tackle wind and waves whipped up by Hurricane Sandy.

The wind howled off the Long Island Sound Sunday as blustery conditions turned the boaters' paradise into a playland for adventure seekers.

There were no yachts or sailboats visible, but an armada of windsurfers, kiteboarders and even paddleboarders took to the choppy waves, using Crab Meadow Beach in Northport as a launching point.

Hurricane Sandy may not make landfall in New York, but the effects of the Atlantic storm were already being felt along the Sound, from extreme high tides to rough seas. In other words, perfect conditions to catch some air.

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.
