I can't believe that as I was watching the Parade in New City this morning, I was thinking to myselfRead More the same thing. It felt more like July 4th or New Years day (minus the heat) then Memorial Day. I also could not help notice that at the service outside the courthouse, how many people sat on the lawn , and kept talking during the playing of taps and during the speeches from some of the local officials. I thought Memorial day was suppose to be a sad day and a day of reflection. However, it seems to have become a day of pub crawls and parties. I'm not that old but I do remember as a kid that memorial day used to be a bit more serious.

When I was a child in the 70s my aunts called today Decoration Day and always placed a wreath on myRead More uncle's grave. He lost his life at the age of 19 fighting during World War II in Europe.

I am now 65 years old. When I was a child Memorial Day was like a Holy Day.....stores were closedRead More and people and children went to parades and ceremonies and prayer services with their parents and grandparents who served either in WWI and WWII. As children we were not sure what they did but we knew they did something great and good for America and they needed to be honored. All that has been lost....... Memorial Day due to our secular and liberal society has become just another day off. Especialy, for what reason I do not know it was made part of a 3 day holiday? We must go back to our old American values and traditions and honor this heros for all they did in the past. Good bless America.

I'd like to Thank everyone that came out to support the scholarship fund. We were able to raise overRead More $500. for the day.I also want to thank the students that came out to help. Bob Galinski,club advisor,Hastings schools

The letter does not seem to mention if they have personal experience as an educator or as a parentRead More with kids now, kids past years or kids future years in the Irvington School District. Sometimes the perspective is different if you have lived the experience with kids in the Irvington School District. I have three kids -- one graduate last year and is at Cornell University, one is grade nine and one is grade three. All three got great teachers, small class size and extra help or enrichment as needed. I think the arts programs can be expanded -- music, drama, fine arts (both in classes and electives plus stipends to pay teachers for clubs and after school activities). However, this is a school district that values having small class size and keeping strong all the academics core subjects required for graduation and college plus making a priority sports opportunities middle school through high schools at all levels and types of sports. If you are high achiever it works grades k-12; if you are a child with special education needs or learning issues needs or extra help needs it works too. The average student is the one who is often forgotten in Irvington School District since they just do their thing in school, after school activities and move from grade to grade uneventful but nothing that will be memorable at least in my experience.

The problem has always been skyrocketing costs- bamacare does absolutely nothing to address costs.Read More It is a complete scam that will only add to the uninsured because it makes employers accelerate dropping employer sponsored healthcare- dumping even more people into the arms of the government disaster.

When employers are offering less and less health insurance, more people are self insured orRead More uninsured and are restricted to buying policies as individuals. With the cost at over $ 1,500 per month for standard, full coverage for a family of 4, it is no wonder there are so many uninsured or partially insured ( emergency/hospital care only).
