Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts donate flag.

Posted by William Demarest (Editor), November 11, 2012 at 12:32 pm

Port Chester Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts donated a flag for the Port Chester Knights of Columbus Hall, with the flag being raised as part of a "Thank You" luncheon for veterans.

Scouts saluted the flag and that National Anthem was sung as the flag was raised in front of the K-of-C for Veterans Day 2012.

Thank you, Mr. Cole. I have no need of convincing. Mrs. Brakewood has distinguished herself as a…Read More private citizen, a tireless school volunteer, and as an effective board member. Other communities wish for such a generous soul. Mr. Carriere may, in fact, be a very pleasant and admired friend to many, but his performance at the debate was cringingly embarrassing. I actually felt for the poor man because he was clearly at a complete loss ... and tried to rely on the power of his personality instead of concrete knowledge of the PC schools. It failed miserably. Those who goaded Mr. Carriere into this race can't possibly be his friends. Friends would never be so cruel as to expose someone to such total embarrassment.

Linda T., I would guess Mrs. Brakewood lives in Port Chester if she is running for the Port Chester…Read More Board of Ed. Even if the schools had to impose an austerity budget, your taxes would still go up. The state has more control in these matters than you think.

Linda, the per pupil expenditure in PC schools is the lowest in Westchester and Rockland counties…Read More ... by about $2,000 per student. The issue is two fold. First, our property values are not as strong as our neighbors, so our homes have a higher levy in order to fund the schools. Second, and more important, is that the reliance on property taxes slams moderate income communities like PC. We need for the state to move to an income tax to fund schools. Scream at your legislators ... not the BoE.
