Croton-Harmon Education Grants; Winter Rain on the Way

1) Good news: The Croton-Harmon Education Foundation recently announced a total of over $120,000 in grants were awarded during the 2012-2013 School Year. See where the money goes in this post.

2) In response to a trio of letters in the Gazette attacking the current Croton board and the recent election outcomes, John McBride writes on Patch: "The voters in the village have again given the Democratic mayor and trustees an overwhelming vote of confidence... I do believe that Democrats have better ideas. We believe that government can be a positive force to move the community forward. I also believe we could benefit from other rational, fact based and respectful voices. There is room within the Democratic party for those voices..." What do you think? You can share your voice and your politics on our Speak Out boards here.

3) Here comes Winter Storm Boreas. Rain will start getting heavy tonight, with possible flooding.

4) Internet rumors are, alas, untrue: Brangelina didn't buy an island in Putnam County.

5) Police say a drunk Hastings teen driving the wrong way on the Thruway hit a truck in Ramapo.
