Somers Monday Update: Dry Ice, Power Restoration

Somers Supervisor Mary Beth Murphy sends a Monday morning update on the storm's aftermath.

Editor's Note: The following information was provided by the Somers Supervisor Mary Beth Murphy. 

Dry ice will be available at the Somers Police Station in Van Tassel Park at 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. today.

We continue to pressure NYSEG to get the power on ASAP. Utility poles are owned and replaced by the utility. NYSEG assures us that there is no truth to the rumor that poles are not available. 

The shelter at the Heritage Hills Activity Center remains open for all residents. St. Luke’s Church is serving soup and community dinner 5 to 7 p.m. and is available to store refrigerated medications and is an optimum wifi hot spot. The Somers library has power.

Work crews in town are from all over the country working with little food and sleep. Please offer them a warm drink, a bite to eat and a kind word if you can.

Election Day is tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov. 6. Power has been restored to all polling places. Everyone should report to their usual local polling place.

First of all, I don't understand why teachers are paying for anything out of pocket when the supplyRead More lists that parents receive at the end of the summer are as long as their arms. Secondly, SOCIETY lets the kids down?!?!? I think the school taxes in Yorktown should be sufficient so that the teachers don't have to pay any out-of-pocket expenses. SOCIETY does not let the kids down, it is those who are in control of the school tax monies who let the kids down. Perhaps the administrators should take salary cuts, or maybe we should even eliminate some of those administrative positions. No teacher should have to pay for supplies out of pocket.
