Thousands remain without power Wednesday morning

Town still reeling from Irene’s aftermath

Man dies rafting

in storm’s wakeby Matt Spillane and Ken Mastro

Ledger Staff

A Cross River man has died as a result of the aftermath of Hurricane Irene, while trying to raft down “extreme rap-ids” along the Croton River only hours after the eye of the storm passed over the area.

Dr. Peter Engel, 53, of Howland Drive, a psychia-trist who has a practice in Cross River, died in a boating accident on Sunday, Aug. 28. Lewisboro police were noti-fied of his death that evening by medical officials from the emergency room at Phelps Hospital in Sleepy Hollow, where he was pronounced dead.

High school offers online coursesby Matt Spillane

Ledger Reporter

American classrooms are steadily becoming more technology-driven, and those in the Katonah-Lewisboro School District are taking a big step this year to keep pace.

In collaboration with the Putnam/Northern Westchester Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES), John Jay High School is offering its students four online courses this school year in an effort to develop its use of technology and share resources with neighboring districts.

“I think the obvious advantage is that kids at John Jay will have access to teachers at other districts in the same way that students in other districts have access to our teachers,” John Jay Principal Ellen Doherty told The Ledger recently. “The teachers participating are of the highest quality, which was our concern all along. Over time the

Sports seasons stay on schedule

Jim Panzer, Sarah Martabano, David Gewanter and Diane Cunningham work at the Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) campus in Yorktown to develop online courses for John Jay High School and BOCES. Mr. Panzer and Mr. Gewanter are teachers at John Jay High School. Ms. Martabano is regional coordinator of Southern Westchester BOCES and Ms. Cunningham is a curriculum consultant.

Despite Sundayʼs strong storm and ongoing loss of power in Lewisboro, the start of the fall sports season next week wonʼt be affected.

John Jay teams had practices can-

celed on Monday, but were back to practice on Tuesday. Because only two Katonah-Lewisboro schools had power, teams were forced to change practice locations, said boys soccer head coach Peter Neidell.

“We just missed Monday, but we had to shift around,” he said. “It will only affect some scrim-

mages.”The first regular-season varsi-

ty game will be next Wednesday, when the girls soccer team travels to John Jay East Fishkill for a 4:30 game.

On Thursday, the field hockey team opens up at Lakeland and the volleyball team travels to Carmel,

both 4:30 starts.On Friday, Sept. 9, the boys

soccer team host John Jay East Fishkill and the girls tennis team hosts Carmel, both at 4:15.

The John Jay football teamʼs season opener is Friday, Sept. 9, at

The aftermath of Hurricane Irene continued to plague Lewisboro, as nearly everyone in town was without power for days and most continue to have no electricity on Wednesday morning — three days after the storm hit town Sunday morning.

After many complaints of a slow response to the mas-sive power outages, New York State Electric & Gas (NYSEG) was beginning to make prog-ress on actually getting the lights back on in a number of homes Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. They also began providing estimat-ed times for power restoration

for many streets in Lewisboro late Tuesday afternoon, leav-ing residents unsure of when to expect their power back for about 60 hours.

Furthering residents ̓ frus-tration was that town officials reported that Tuesday morning there were no NYSEG crews working in town on restoring power, although there were some performing “assess-ments.” But after calls and criticism from local and state leaders, that began to change Tuesday night, as 3,339 of the 5,454 NYSEG customers in town — 61% — were with-out power Wednesday morn-ing, down from about 5,200, 95%, without it Tuesday after-noon. For about 24 hours after the storm hit, 99% of resi-dents were without electricity. Check out The Ledgerʼs ongo-ing coverage of the stormʼs aftermath at lewisboroledger.com for the latest updates on power outages.

Town officials continue to have daily telephone con-ferences with NYSEG and said they will keep the pub-lic continually informed as they obtain more information. NYSEG has been updating the power outages list on its Web site every 30 minutes or so, but it may not be entirely accurate as one resident said his power had been restored but the list did not reflect that.

Power had been restored to parts of Cross River late Tuesday night, as the shop-ping center, gas station and John Jay campus all had lights on.

“Weʼre in a communica-tions and electrical power black hole at this time,” Town Board member Frank Kelly said on Monday. But he asked residents to “be patient and go about your normal business … weʼre going to be inconve-nienced a little while longer.”

Also, on Monday, town officials said that NYSEG had “refused” to supply dry ice to Lewisboro, despite supplies to North Salem and Bedford, and has elected to stop all future dry ice deliveries. Dry ice usu-ally keeps food cold for about 24 hours.

One resident is reporting that late Tuesday night, though, dry ice, self-heating food from Westchester County and water were being handed out at the South Salem firehouse. The Vista firehouse has charging stations for electrical devices,

non-portable water and drink-ing water, Wi-Fi access and dry ice (call ahead for avail-ability).

Despite the recent move-ment in restoring power, a number of officials have complained that NYSEGʼs response time has been slow overall.

“Two more weeks of this hardship is simply ridiculous,” State Senator Greg Ball, 40th District, said. “One more week of this would be a horror to the families affected. Even one more day of inaction is an indicator and an indictment on New Yorkʼs underlying pre-paredness for a major natural or man-made disaster. NYSEG must begin to more immedi-ately respond to abandoned customers, struggling for basic answers and information. A suggestion of two weeks with-out service is unacceptable and begs for an independent hearing and investigation into New Yorkʼs apparent inabil-ity to recover and respond ... At a minimum, NYSEG must begin to respond immediate-ly to abandoned customers, struggling for basic answers and information.”

Assemblyman Robert Castelli, 89th District, was also critical of NYSEG, noting that, as of Tuesday afternoon, Con Edison was able to restore power to 73% of its customers in his district while NYSEG had only restored it to 16%.

“Thus far, the response by NYSEG has left much to be desired,” Mr. Castelli said. “While we all understand that this is an unprecedent-ed situation, in the months ahead, a task force should look into why NYSEG was not adequately prepared for this situation, their protocols and procedures, and measure their response and efforts to restore their transmission and distribution lines following the storm.”

With the beginning of school on Wednesday, Sept. 7, school officials met Tuesday to assess the situation and their preparation for the first day of classes. Increase Miller Elementary School and Katonah Elementary School both have power back on yes-terday morning, although the schools still lacked Internet and e-mail access as of yes-terday. The John Jay cam-pus appeared to have power restored late last night.

In a statement released yesterday, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Paul Kreutzer said school is still scheduled to begin Sept. 7. He said the dis-trict staff is using the two ele-mentary schools with electric-

ity to prepare for the opening day of school. Because of the power outages, Dr. Kreutzer said a number of activities and programs had to be can-celed for the remainder of the week, including kindergarten orientation, new student orien-tation, teacher meetings, meet-ings with guidance counselors, student appointments, teacher training and social events. Coaches will provide infor-mation regarding locations and times of games/practices for all athletic activities. The beginning of the sports sea-sons will not be affected. (See story on front page.)

Students and/or parents that have not yet received a transportation pick-up loca-tion should use the same bus stop location as last year, Dr. Kreutzer said.

And the superintendentʼs conference day for all faculty and staff will take place as planned on Tuesday, Sept. 6, but with an abbreviated sched-ule.

Town offices are open today.

Lewisboroʼs seniors have been receiving help from the townʼs Parks & Recreation Department, which brought many of them dry ice, food and water, since the power went out on Sunday, said Town Board member Peter DeLucia, who is the boardʼs liaison with the department.

“I am happy to say that [Parks & Recreation Superintendent] Dana [Mayclim] and her staff have done an awesome job attending to this responsibil-ity,” said Mr. DeLucia. “They will continue to assist our seniors throughout this emer-gency.”

The lack of power is the main concern of most resi-dents now, but the stormʼs power was also deadly. A Cross River man, Dr. Peter Engel, died Sunday when he went rafting on a river in Westchester Sunday afternoon in the stormʼs aftermath. (See story on front page.)

Mr. Kelly said all the major roadways in town are now clear of trees and open to vehi-cles. At 6:30 Sunday morning, police had closed 28 sections of roads due to downed trees and wires. But Mr. Kelly said even the now open roadways remain dangerous at intersec-tions, because of a lack of functioning traffic lights, and urged drivers to use caution.

“The roads are open and clear; however, intersections remain dangerous due to traf-fic control devices being off-line without power,” Mr. Kelly said. “Lewisboro has contacted the county police departments and New York state troopers to request assistance with traffic

control. That request remains unanswered at this time. So, all residents are advised to use caution while driving and to engage an out traffic light as if it were a four-way stop sign — yield the right of way to the vehicle arriving at the intersection first and yield to the right if you arrive at the same time.”

Those needing water or food can go to restaurants or gro-cery stores in North Salem and Pound Ridge, as most areas in both towns have power. Power was largely restored to Main Street in Ridgefield, Conn., Tuesday afternoon, so most of the shops and restaurants in the town center are open.

“The roads are open,” Mr. Kelly said. “People can get out and get what they need.”

Town officials are also working with communica-tions service providers to re-establish communications. They have implemented the townʼs recently-enacted cell on wheels (COW) legislation that allows temporary mobile cellular structures to be erect-ed in town during emergency situations when authorized by the town. The Vista Fire Department remains without phone service as do the resi-dents of the southern hamlet because of a lack of power. Although there is a new cell tower on the fire departmentʼs property, Verizon has not yet been added to it, leaving those in Vista with Verizon as their cellular provider without the use of their cell phones either. The town is working with Verizon to get a COW at that site, but that had not happened as of Tuesday afternoon.

Officials are reporting that the townʼs water districts cur-rently have sufficient fuel sup-ply for the near future. Water district managers are “advised to assure follow-on fuel deliv-eries will be timely.

For houses without power that are on well water, the town is obtaining potable water via tanker truck. Town officials said Monday that more infor-mation will be given soon about where to get this water, although that information had yet to be released by the time The Ledger went to press. In the interim, local businesses and those in adjacent towns have potable water for sale. Officials said residents may use pool water or other non-potable but clean water for toilets. They do not anticipate that shower stations will be provided.

Heather Flournoy of Lewisboro reported that the coffeehouse Perks in Katonah is open, and residents with Optimum/Cablevision can access free Wi-Fi in downtown

Katonah. Perks does not have access to Wi-Fi for the public. Panera Bread in Bedford Hills, Salsa Fresca in Bedford Hills, Noka Joeʼs in Katonah and the Katonah Village Library all have free Wi-Fi and outlets for charging phones and com-puters.

Ms. Flournoy questioned why Perks is not allowing the public to use more of its resources during this emer-gency situation.

“Why for Godʼs sake is Perks not stepping up to sup-port the community that sup-ports them?,” she said “How about some love here? Would it kill them to open up their Wi-Fi for us, provide some charging stations, and put a little table in the bathroom so people could maybe set down a little bag and brush teeth? And how about refilling water bottles? Not only would it show their support, it would make economic sense in terms of reputation, no?”

Ms. Flournoy, who owns Really Social Strategies, is also reporting that Natureʼs Temptations is open and roast-ing rotisserie chickens. People can call to hold one for them: 203-438-6335. Also, Natureʼs Temptations is welcoming people to come to their cafe and charge cell phones, com-puters and use the bathroom. Theyʼre open as usual today from 9 to 7, with hot coffee, Wi-Fi, clean bathrooms and food. Ms. Flournoy said the cafe has a good space to sit and work. They are also offer-ing people to come refill their water bottles.

Ross Bread over in Coppʼs Hill in Ridgefield is also back up and running with a full menu. They also have Wi-Fi access and bathrooms.

Another resident reported on Tuesday that the cell ser-vice in the Goldens Bridge shopping center was “great.” There is also access to Wi-Fi in the center parking lot, but only for those with an Optimum account.

One resident told The Ledger that the Shell gas sta-tion at the corner of Route 35 and Route 121 North had been charging $0.30 more a gallon when they were running on a generator.

Lewisboroʼs annual Labor Day soccer tournament is still scheduled for this Saturday at Onatru Farm. Tournament officials said they may need some generators to run the concessions should the power remain out, but that the tourna-ment, which normally attracts about 70 to 80 soccer teams, will go on.

Chief Secret said that the highway department did a good job clearing the roads,

although a Vista resident told The Ledger Monday morn-ing that trees remained down “everywhere.” Lewisboro police had officers on duty for the extent of the peak of the storm.

Emergency responders have been working around the clock in the aftermath of the storm — all local fire and ambulance volunteers were on duty from Friday night start-ing at 6 through Monday eve-ning. A number of ambulance corps members were on duty for 72 to 84 hours, or more in some cases.

The local volunteer fire departments are looking for volunteers to man the phones while they continue to respond to town emergencies. Contact the local departments if inter-ested.

The storm did more than just close roads and down power lines.

A tree landed on the garage of Roland Breiteneckerʼs Hunts Farm Road home in Waccabuc at 3 a.m. on Sunday. No one was hurt. The tree was removed Monday morning.

“It was a very loud bang and then silence,” Mr. Breitenecker said. “Thankfully, everybodyʼs fine.” He thanked James Herzog of the South Salem Fire Department for helping them out.

Joanna Walshʼs house on Route 124 was flooded Sunday, although the waters have receded. She said itʼs the third time it has flooded in the last three years, and that is because the state doesnʼt clean out the tunnel under Route 124 by her home. Ms. Walsh said she has to uses towels to remove the dirt that the water deposits on her floors.

Although the water is gone, the stream next to her house was still flowing hard on Monday.

“You could hear the rocks tumbling above the waterfall,” she said.

Despite the stormʼs power, not every place was forced to close

Cameronʼs Deli was packed on Monday, and the owner said it was just as busy on Sunday.

“People came in all day yesterday,” he said. “I canʼt tell you how many compli-ments we had. We never close. Itʼs good to help the commu-nity out.”

The Route 35 business sold out of ice on Sunday but they had stocked up on supplies on Thursday. They lost power Sunday morning at 8 and have been running on a generator since then.

She was the owner, oper-ator, and director of Creative Childrenʼs Korner (C.C. K. - Seek a Foundation). “Ethelynʼs legacy will live on in the thousands of chil-

drenʼs lives she influenced in Ridgefield for 35 years,” her family said.

Republican Lisa Douglas, who is running for the county legislature District 2 seat, has gathered enough signatures on petitions to force a Republican primary on Sept. 13 against the Republican endorsed can-didate, Peter Michaelis.

This will be the only pri-mary in Lewisboro.

“Iʼm proud to have had the hundreds of registered Republicans sign our petition to put me on the ballot for a pri-mary election in September,” said Ms. Douglas of North Salem. “Iʼve dedicated the last two years of my life on a vol-unteer basis to publicly fight the Democratic agenda of out of control spending and big

government. My public posi-tions are clear on the issues. We have not seen nor heard from Mr. Michaelis for the last four years since he ran for this seat unsuccessfully. He has been silent the last two years. That is a failure of leadership on his part, and now only when it behooves him person-ally to run for office, has he come forward.”

Most recently, Ms. Douglas served on the school board for North Salem. Prior to that, she was president of the North Salem Middle/High School Parent Teacher Organization.

“I welcome Ms. Douglas to the race,” said Mr. Michaelis. “This is democracy at its best. “I had hoped to have a pri-mary on the Independence line as well, but [incumbent

Democrat] Pete Harckham was afraid to face voters at the ballot box so he silenced the peopleʼs voice with a law-suit. Families in District 2 are tired of [Mr.] Harckham representing down county interests instead of their own. And fortunately, out of the primary election process, they will have a good candidate in either Ms. Douglas or me to hold Mr. Harckhamʼs feet to the fire in November.”

Mr. Michaelisʼs efforts to have an Independence Party primary were ended in August when a judge ruled that a number of signatures obtained from party voters that would have qualified him were not properly validated by a notary. Mr. Harckham was endorsed by the Independence Party.

Hydrofracking hearingWitnesses Craig and Julie Sautner, and Victoria Switzer from Dimock, Pa. testify about contaminants found in their drinking water after hydraulic fracturing began in their community, at a hearing on hydrofracking hosted by State Senator Greg Ball, 89th District, at the Katonah Village Library on Tuesday, Aug. 23. Ms. Switzer is hold-ing up a bottle of water she pulled from her tap.

The grand opening of the John Jay Homestead History Quest will be on Saturday, Sept. 3, from 10 to noon at John Jay Homestead at 400 Jay Street in Katonah.

Completion of the John Jay Homestead History Quest

takes 45 minutes. The Quest is hosted by

Westchester Land Trust and John Jay Homestead and is free to the public. Reservations are not required.

The Quest was created by the land trust in cooperation with the Friends of John Jay Homestead and installed by parents and children from the FAVORS volunteer group. The Quest was funded by a grant from the Land Trust Allianceʼs Conservation Partnership

Program.The land trust has five quests

on its preserves to engage visi-tors in using their creativity and skills in navigation, listen-ing and observation. The other quests are at the Frederick P. Rose Preserve in Cross River, Westchester Wilderness Walk in Pound Ridge, Hunter Brook Preserve in Yorktown and Bedford Audubonʼs Bylane Farm in Goldens Bridge.

Letters..

Even with the slower than usual pace of summer, it once again seems to have flown by at record speed. But there’s one part of the lazy, mellow

days of summer that all Lewisboroans should try to carry over into the autumn months and the upcoming school year: when it comes to hitting the road, keep it slow.

Next week, kids will don their new sneaks and back-to-school outfits, backpacks will be filled with new binders, textbooks, and pencil cases, and students will flock to street corners and the ends of driveways to wait for the bus. Many will instead pile into parents’ cars to catch a ride to school.

For those who find themselves behind a wheel of a car next week, take a deep breath and repeat this man-tra: The children’s safety is paramount.

Drivers need to respect the sanctity of school buses — even though it’s really annoying to be “stuck” behind one when you are late for work. In fact, remember to treat buses with reverence and a slight bit of healthy fear especially when you are stuck behind one when you are late for work. That’s when it’s most tempting to speed up a little or to swerve around the bus when it makes one of its frequent stops. One word: Don’t.

Don’t ever pass a bus when its lights — yellow or red — are flashing. If a bus coming toward you is stopped or slowing down, stop immediately; don’t ever speed up to avoid the 30-second wait. The probability of a child being nearby is about 100%. The possibility of one of those children darting into the road must be on each driver’s mind every time a bus comes into view.

Arriving at your destination a few minutes later is always something you can live with if you realize the possible alternative involves someone not living at all.

The pace of everyday life is about to pick up — make sure as a driver yours stays summertime slow.

—K.D.

Keep it slow Editorials..

September is the month of summer’s last fling and winter’s first beckoning, a time when the ther-mometers might hit 90, yet when you could find

the first frost on your lawn.September’s average high temperature is 74, and low,

50, a range that many would consider just about ideal. But records for the past 20 years show September’s pos-sibilities for extremes: 100 and 23 degrees. The average first frost here is around Sept. 22.

September has also been a dry month, averaging only 3.8 inches of rain over the past two decades, one inch less than August or July, or even November. It also has averaged fewer rainy days than any other month — just six.

While that dryness may desiccate lawns and strain wells — despite the seemingly endless rain this August — September’s weather is about the best that our part of the world has to offer. Many sunny days that are crisp, yet mild, make for great times outdoors. No wonder the Mohawks called September’s full moon Seskhoko-wa – “time of much freshness.”

Time of freshness

Ken Mastro

Hole in the wallThis stone wall on Melody Lane in South Salem is far from impenetrable with a sizable opening between some of the rocks.

This is a copy of a letter sent to New York State Electric & Gas (NYSEG).To the Editors:

We are now 41 hours into this outage. The fact that this far in, you are unable to give us an estimated time for the repair is very disturbing. We were hit with a category 1 hurricane that was quickly downgraded to a tropical storm. The idea that you have to “rebuild” your system is laughable. What would you do

if a real catastrophe hit? It is a sad reflection on you that you cannot even assess the number of homes without power. First it was 975 homes in our area. After approximately 30 hours you stated that our power had returned.

It took my having to jump through hoops to get someone on the phone to tell them that, in fact, we did not have power. Your Web site would not take the report since, according to you, our power was restored.

For the next two hours fol-lowing my telephone call, it was two homes in my area without power. Next, it was 458 homes in my area without power. So, which is it? Do you even know?

The upside to all of this is that we are not using any power provided by you at this time, so you will not earn a dime off of us. Long before this, NYSEG should have been on top of the problem. You should have been fully

aware of the fact that your system was unable to survive a tropical storm. There is no excuse for this other than poor management and oversight. I request a response from your corporate office as to why this abysmal situation continues to persist and why you are con-tinuously unable to give us any hope of a restoration of power at any time in the near future.

ELLEN R. TILLEMKatonah, Aug. 29

There is no excuse for NYSEG’s prolonged power outage

To the Editors:This is not the first time the

South Salem Fire Department comes to the rescue for my family. The first time was in 2008, our vehicle had caught fire in our garage. The second time was on the evening of Sunday, Aug., 29, in the after-math of Hurricane Irene. Like countless other community members, our basement flood-ed. Thanks to the tireless dedi-cation of our well-respected

community member, Wayne Coluccini, and the South Salem Fire Department, our basement was pumped out.

Our volunteer fire depart-ment makes the ultimate sac-rifice; they leave their own homes and families during times of crisis and tirelessly aid neighbors, friends and strang-ers in the community. The South Salem Fire Department has been busily answering calls since the hurricane dev-

astated our area. When the firemen left our house, they were rushing off to aid another family in need. These men are the epitome of professional-ism and unselfishness.

The next time a volunteer member of the South Salem Fire Department politely asks you to take a detour because of a road incident, please thank him for his volunteer efforts on behalf of our community. Do not “snarl” because you

will arrive at your destina-tion a few minutes later than you anticipated, be grateful that our community has such a dedicated and compassionate volunteer fire department.

My family is appreciative of the combined efforts of the South Salem Fire Department and its commitment to our community.

O PI N I O N

If youʼre a Lewisboro parent with a teenage driver in your house, the sound of jingling car keys and the phrase “Iʼll text you — bye!” can probably be heard in your home, too, on weekends. And as a parent watching the kid you raised head out the door for the evening, you too prob-

ably have two immedi-ate thoughts.

Your first thought — a hope, really — is that your young driver is smart enough to heed your admonition not to drink and drive. Your second thought — more a prayer, actually — is that your child doesnʼt meet up with anyone who has. But you too probably never entertained this thought — “I hope the town supervisor isnʼt on the

road tonight.”Voters in Lewisboro donʼt ask for much.

They want good schools, plowed streets, clean parks, and responsive police and fire departments. Thatʼs pretty much it.

Oh, yeah, one more thing — they donʼt want the guy they elected town supervisor to get arrested for drunk driving on one of the most treacherous roads in town.

The arrest of Town Supervisor Charles Duffy for drunk driving at 10:30 p.m. on a mid-August Friday evening was quickly followed by the collapse of Mr. Duffyʼs re-election campaign and, with it, the Republican Partyʼs electoral hopes. Most crisis management experts will tell you that there are only two politically palat-able responses in this situation: either “the charges are false and Iʼm fighting them” or “Iʼm sorry and Iʼm seeking help.” Politics has a short menu.

Mr. Duffy decided to go with this approach: “I will speak to this directly and openly as soon as my attorneys advise me that it is the appropriate time.” Poor choice.

Of course, Mr. Duffy wasnʼt alone in making poor choices. His Republican running mates, Rhea Mallet and John Pappalardo, werenʼt exactly carving pro-files in courage as they ducked every opportunity to comment on the situation. That wonʼt last long, once they start facing questions about their support of Mr. Duffy from the mini-van moms driving the kids to the bus stop. Odds are the GOP ticket wonʼt be making any campaign appear-ances at the local chapter of “Mothers Against Drunk Driving.”

Even Republican Town Board mem-

bers Peter DeLucia and Frank Kelly couldnʼt get their stories straight. The lat-ter endorsed Mr. Duffy for a second term, while the former only endorsed his con-tinuing in office long enough to complete the 2012 budget.

Mr. Duffyʼs supporters have offered two inherently contradictory defenses of the silent supervisor: first, it is unfair to judge Mr. Duffyʼs actions prior to a judi-cial determination; and, second, regardless of that determination, the entire matter is none of his constituents ̓business. Well.

Mr. Duffy has not denied: that he was stopped by a state trooper for swerving across a double-yellow line at night on a dangerous two-lane highway; that he refused a Breathalyzer test; and that he failed a field sobriety test. If what trans-pired Aug. 12 is not sufficiently egregious to warrant electoral condemnation, what is the standard that we should apply in judg-ing whether Mr. Duffy remains fit to hold public office? What if Mr. Duffy had also wrapped his car around a tree? What if he had damaged private property? Or, God forbid, killed someone? Must we wait for the Supreme Court to deny Mr. Duffyʼs appeal before opining?

What the Republicans refuse to acknowledge is that itʼs legitimate for vot-ers to ask how they can trust Mr. Duffy in the Town House if they canʼt trust him to get there safely. Here at Briefing Book, we sympathize with Mr. Duffyʼs personal dilemma, but sympathy doesnʼt mean shielding him from the political con-sequences of his public behavior. Thatʼs not how it works.

Mr. Duffy lost his most precious politi-cal asset last month — he got people mad at him. People were not mad at Mr. Duffy before this. In fact, he didnʼt inspire much of a reaction either way. Not anymore. Now people are angry. And in politics, itʼs not good to get people angry at you. And although anger wanes and people are for-giving, forgiveness has to be earned.

Mr. Duffy hasnʼt earned it. You have to ask for forgiveness, not demand it. Mr. Duffy didnʼt ask. He didnʼt even apolo-gize. Instead, he lawyered up. Heʼs doing his job, the desperate Republicans cried, what more do you want? We want public officials who are stable and responsible, and who demonstrate maturity and good judgment in public. Is that too much to ask?

Every political campaign is eventually tested in a defining moment. The supervi-sor also took that test last month. What the Republicans canʼt accept is that he failed that one, too.

A campaign collapsesBy the time you read this, it will be

September, and we will have either survived a really bad hurricane, muddled through a run-of-the-mill storm, or possibly all been blown and washed away never to be heard from again. Maybe even a combination of all three. Iʼll leave it up to whoever is still around to decide which.

With a high probability that the power will go out and take a while to come back on, Iʼm writing before any of that happens in order to ensure that those who survive have the oppor-tunity to read this and, of course, learn from it. But what will they learn from it? These days, I frequently find myself wondering if weʼre even capable of learning anything.

Fortunately, in at least in this one instance, we seem to have learned a lot. I canʼt recall ever seeing such thorough and timely emer-gency preparations ahead of an expected severe weather event. Granted, we donʼt usually have an opportunity for such clear advance warnings of a potential disaster. In this case, the signs were hard to ignore, and officials all over the area didnʼt hesitate to take action.

My gut feeling is that this is all a direct result of Katrina. Now, nobody wants to be caught with their pants... er, plans down. Nobody wants to be the one on the receiv-ing end when all the finger pointing starts. But letʼs be honest: It was the overwhelming evidence and unanimity of forecasts which made it less likely, even if the storm took a sudden turn or abruptly lost its punch, that anyone could charge the preparations were an overreaction.

Thatʼs what usually happens. How many times have weather forecasters told us there was a huge snowstorm on the way, only to have it peter out and amount to some drizzle? We are, at least when it comes to disasters, a profoundly doubtful and cynical bunch. (Note: I will now assume the role of some hypothetical “you,” or “them.”) Is there really a big storm coming? Show me. Is continued burning of carbon-based fuels really having a detrimental effect on the climate? Prove it, and then prove it again, and then explain why some people still claim itʼs not — and then prove it once again. Is having a nuclear power plant in your backyard a bad idea? Explain why, and convince me I should believe you and not all the people who work for Entergy or have their property taxes sub-sidized by the plant, and then prove to me that what happened in Japan has any chance of happening here, and then tell me exactly how youʼre going to replace the electricity pro-duced by the plant (because Iʼm much more

likely to believe doubts expressed by any and all plant apologists than doubts expressed by nay-saying environmentalists).

Okay, thatʼs enough of that. Youʼve just survived the wrath of Irene, and you donʼt need more of my political diatribes. So hereʼs an idea: Why canʼt we put everybody back to work, and simultaneous-ly solve a huge recurring problem, by launching a national initiative to sim-ply bury all of our power lines?

Come on, it has to have occurred to you, too. Every time thereʼs any kind of storm, the first thing that happens is hundreds or thousands of people lose electricity. Heck, there doesnʼt even have to be a storm; all you need is somebody hitting a utility pole, or some squirrel get-ting fried in a transformer. And why does this constantly happen? Because, with the excep-tion of a few major urban and some isolated suburban areas, all of the power for our high-tech world is transported on wires attached to poles, vulnerable to every wind or ice storm, falling tree, wayward car or suicidal squirrel. How insane is that?

Iʼm sure that the idea of burying all power lines is considered prohibitively expensive, and thus impossible. Not enough of an eco-nomic return. Really? Consider how much is spent to repair downed wires. Consider how much all the spoiled food costs. Consider what is spent repairing burst water pipes. Think how much insurance premiums must rise to cover claims for damage due to lack of power alone. Half of the preparations we took in advance of Irene were in anticipation of the power going out. How much do power companies spend trimming and cutting down trees every year in an attempt to limit the inevitable? What is the cost in lost productiv-ity when computers donʼt work?

Wish I knew the answers. All I know is John Fogertyʼs lyrics:

I hear hurricanes ablowing.I know the end is coming soon.I fear rivers over flowing.I hear the voice of rage and ruin.And Harold Arlen and Ted Koehlerʼs:Don t̓ know why there s̓ no sun up in the

sky, storm ... Whoa! The sunʼs back? Never mind.

LEWISBOROLIBRARY NOTES

LIZ GABRIELE

by Ramona PfauSeniors Columnist

Every two years, the Lewisboro Senior Adults elect a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer and three members at large. On Aug. 24, this election took place and the following officials were elected: Ramona Pfau, president, David Hirsch, vice-president, Joan Zurell, secretary, Laurie Wiegand, treasurer, and Muriel DeLorio, Joyce Nicolleti and Terry Vnuczenski, members-at-large.

For me being president of anything puts me in both a surprising and unusual state. For years my husband, who served in the Army would tell me, “I learned never to volunteer for anything, for if I did, I would find myself cleaning out the latrines.” So how did my presidency come about?

When the nominating committee asked if Iʼd like to run, I explained that I was writing about the seniors ̓doings, and that was taking up my time. However, I thought that perhaps someone else should give writ-ing these articles a try — a new, different and fresh viewpoint type of voice. Muriel DeLorio said she would try, so there went my excuse.

The nominating committee would have liked another candidate for president, to give the membership a choice, but no one

else volunteered, so my fate was sealed. Truthfully, I felt very honored to even be selected. Exactly what are the duties and responsibilities of the Lewisboro Senior Adults ̓president?

The president leads the monthly mem-bership business meeting and joins the other elected officials, together with Pam Veith, our director, in the monthly execu-tive board meeting. What is discussed at this meeting I will now find out. (I always wondered what went on at these meetings. It will probably be something dull like fis-cal matters — or not.)

Currently, the Lewisboro Senior Adults go on monthly trips, have luncheons at the firehouse where we meet, and have book discussions, led by the Lewisboro Library director, Cindy Rubino. We have a timely visit by Flo Brodley who discusses that confusing topic Medicare and we have visits by Gossett Brothers Nursery to help us with our plantings. We have put on plays and sing-a-longs and once in a while we play bingo.

Weʼd like to share all this with more Lewisboro seniors, and also get new input from them as to what more we seniors can do. As you can see, becoming president has made me gung-ho for the seniors. But the best part about being president is I can say, “Hail to the chief!” Thatʼs me.

D r . E n g e l w e n t r a f t i n g with four o t h e r

people in the Croton River at Croton-on-Hudson, when their raft flipped over, sending them into the raging waters, according to police.

At 6:24 p.m., Croton police said they saw Mr. Engelʼs body floating down river, apparently unresponsive. He then was pulled aboard the Croton police zodiac boat and transported to the Echo landing point, while being given CPR, police said. He was transferred to an ambulance and taken to the hospital.

He was the fourth of the five occupants of the raft discovered by Croton police. All of the other boaters were rescued, including three firefighters who were also tossed into the water while trying to save the boaters. Mr. Engel died of asphyxia due to drowning and hypothermia.

Police began searching for the men after receiving numerous calls from residents reporting an overturned blue raft. The first person located was Joseph Ceglia, 33, of White Plains, who was found clinging to tree branches in the rapids near a section of the river known as Mayoʼs landing, according to police.

At the same time, the Croton police boat and the Croton Fire Department rescue boat were being deployed into the Croton River at Echo landing, approxi-mately a half-mile down river. As this was taking place, the fire departmentʼs boat capsized in the rapid current and three firefighters had to be rescued from the Hudson River, after floating under the

train trestle at the end of the rapidly flow-ing Croton River, police said.

One of the boaters, Kenneth Giaquinto, 37, of Valhalla, was able to get himself to the shoreline on the Ossining side of the Croton River and flag down a passing motorist at around 6, according to police.

Another occupant of the overturned raft, Michael Wolfert, 37, of Croton-on-Hudson, was able to climb ashore, police said.

After discovering Dr. Engelʼs body, an extensive ground, water and aerial search was underway for the fifth occupant, Brian Dooley, 33, of Yorktown Heights, who was still missing.

At approximately 7:30 p.m., Mr. Dooley was observed clinging to a tree in extreme rapids by two Croton residents in an area just south of Silver Lake Park. Police said this location was extremely dangerous due to the extensive rapids and steep slopes of the shoreline, making it very hazardous to deploy a rescue opera-tion. At 8:45, Mr. Dooley broke free from the tree he was clinging to and floated in the rapids downstream where he was rescued by the Croton police and pulled aboard the police boat in an area of the river know as Dickeyʼs Cliffs, police said. Mr. Dooley was then transported to an ambulance and taken to the Westchester County Medical Center where he was admitted for extreme exposure and hypo-thermia, police said.

Police said the boaters entered the Croton River in Cortland, at the foot of the Croton Dam in Croton Gorge Park.

The five negotiated the “extreme rap-ids” downstream and overturned just south of the Silver Lake Park, according to police.

advantage of our teachers will be that they get to develop online courses. Kids will have broadened horizons.”

The other districts par-ticipating in the initiative are Bedford, Chappaqua, Lakeland, Mamaroneck, Ossining, Peekskill and Yorktown.

“I think a secondary gain is that students will have an opportunity to interact with students beyond our district,” Ms. Doherty said. “Theyʼll have exposure to students who they wouldnʼt typically be exposed to. I suspect that as kids move on, the expecta-tions to how weʼre all profi-cient online is growing. This is good practice for kids for how to navigate those worlds.”

The four courses being offered are “Environmental Physics: a Citizens ̓Guide to the Planet,” “Take Action! Support a Sustainable Community,” “Making a Lasting Impression: Architecture Across the Centuries and Today,” and “Wanted: Solutions to Problems of the 21st Century — Needed: More than Just Good Ideas.”

Getting startedMs. Doherty said the idea

for the online program began taking shape at the beginning of the last school year and was put together through BOCES.

About 15 to 20 course pro-posals were submitted from teachers in the eight districts, Ms. Doherty said, and the four classes were chosen from that group. She said that only four courses were chosen so that the first year would be “man-ageable,” with room for more courses in the future.

Those four classes were included in the course cata-log at the end of the 2010-11 school year so that students could choose them for this school year.

Christopher Griffin, John Jayʼs director of school coun-seling, told The Ledger recent-ly that six John Jay students were signed up for the online

environmental physics course and one John Jay student was enrolled in the 21st Century solutions course. The remain-ing slots in those classes are filled up by students from the seven other districts.

“Fortunately, we didnʼt have to go to a lottery sys-tem because we didnʼt exceed the number of seats in any course,” Ms. Doherty said. “In the future, I guess districts will have to come together and make decisions [if too many students sign up for the courses].”

Environmental physics is the only one out of the four online courses that is being taught by a John Jay teacher this year; the other three are being taught by teachers from the other seven districts, all of whom received training to teach online. Environmental physics, which is being taught by David Gewanter and Jim Panzer, is also being offered as a traditional, brick-and-mortar class with 24 students enrolled.

“Students at JJHS can now choose either the brick-and-mortar version in my class-room or the online version, with its time-shifted advan-tages,” Mr. Gewanter told The Ledger recently in an e-mail.

The online courses will have students collaborate in online discussions and activi-ties, using webinars, chats, forums and social networking tools, according to a BOCES press release. Students will also meet in person at two day-long gatherings at the BOCES campus in Yorktown.

Managing timeStudents who are enrolled

in an online course will have it built into their daily schedules just like traditional classes; the difference will be that stu-dents will not have a specific classroom or location to report to during that time. They can choose to work on those courses in the library during that period, for example, or they could simply have a “free period” and opt to do the work at another time, such as in the evening or on the weekend.

“Part of the challenge for a student [taking an online course] is how do you manage

time,” Ms. Doherty said. “It will be interesting to see how students who chose this will manage this.”

The John Jay students who signed up for the online cours-es are upperclassmen, though, and have already gotten used to having free periods and completing course work on their own time.

“Most of them specifically took a free period because they knew they would have to complete this [online] work,” Mr. Griffin said. “I think they have tremendous flexibility for when and where they work on this material.”

Some of the challenges pre-sented by the online courses will be pragmatic and prob-ably sort themselves out with time, Ms. Doherty said.

“How do kids access things [for the courses]?” she said. “Is our technology working the way we hoped it would? Are experiential lab assign-ments working for kids online? Are kids able to communi-cate with their classmates in other districts effectively? A lot of logistical and techni-cal things I expect will chal-lenge us in the first year. The rest will be fascinating. More than online, these are hybrid courses. I think itʼs going to be very exciting. I think for teachers itʼs a different way of teaching. The way that teach-ers teach when theyʼre in the room with kids, they sort of have to figure out a whole new of communicating with them.”

Mr. Gewanter stressed that teaching remains the basis of education regardless of the classroom setting, and that online learning merely enhances the opportunities for learning.

“Whether in a classroom or online, good teaching has always involved forming meaningful learning relation-ships,” he said. “The challenge now is to interact effectively and frequently using a host of online tools. The web provides many opportunities unheard of a short time ago. This is a marvelous opportunity for our students and our faculty [to] help chart the future of online education.”

PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN(never known to fail)

Oh, most beautiful flower of Mt. Car-mel, fruitful vine splendor of Heaven. Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Im-maculate Virgin, assist me in my neces-sity. O, Star Of the Sea, help me and show me, herein you are my Mother. Oh, Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to suc-cor me in my necessity. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein that you are my mother. Oh, Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (say three times). Holy Mary, I place this cause for your hands (say three times). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so that I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me. I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy toward me and mine. Say this prayer for three days and the request will be granted. This prayer must be published after the favor is granted. Thank You Blessed Mother. J.M.H. & D. H.
