From Con Edison:

Con Edison will distribute dry ice starting at noon today to customers who are without power due to Hurricane Sandy. Distribution will continue until 5 p.m. or until supplies run out. The company will also have personnel at the locations to answer customers’ questions.

These are the locations:

Westchester County

198 Central Avenue West Lot (Westchester County Center)

810 Yonkers Avenue (Yonkers Raceway)

Instructions for safe handling and disposal of dry ice are printed on the bag for residents who pick up dry ice. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide and should be used only in well-ventilated areas. Keep children and pets safely away.

You can put dry ice into water and it'll smoke. Awesome.

They are not telling you this when you pick up the dry ice - but be warned:
OPEN YOUR WINDOWS in your car - particularly if you're not going straight home. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide and will fill your car if you leave it in there for a while (particularly in SUV's, where there is no trunk). My wife nearly passed out after getting back into our SUV after 3.5 hours with the bags in the car.

I have never read any issue you have taken with Mr. Venditti signing his writings as the "former Village Trustee or Deputy Mayor." So please stop making ridiculous statements. And yes, as Robin pointed out, the PTA was interested in knowing if the PTA was included in Mr. Wasserman's 11 page letter. Robin was the person who actually FOILed it. No mystery here since Mr. Wasserman, under another set of emails, threatened the PTA in connection with their support of the original budget. Would you like me to list the bullying that went on with that? Bad behavior is bad behavior, no matter how much you want to spin it.

Mr. O'Reilly is asking good questions in his post. I respect him for his approach. These are…Read More difficult questions and as school districts continue to be squeezed at both ends (spiraling cost of benefit and pension costs at one end and tax-cap compliance choking the revenue side at other end) they will all continue be faced with these difficult questions. If school districts wait too long to develop reasonable decision trees to solve these issues, then our meddling friends in Albany will feel compelled to swoop in and screw it up royally. It is in our collective best interests to begin work now to develop and apply a thought process and resolution matrix to this issue before Albany does it for us. That requires two things. First, communities must put aside their differences and work together in a "non-partisan" manner toward local solutions that work for their district. Next, districts must collaborate and share ideas in an effort to share their ideas and help each other. At the moment, no one has the answers to Mr. O'Reilly's questions. I respect him for asking these questions and not offering solutions or opinions in his post. I also respect him for not calling out any particular district as we all all know these are issues that all districts faced this year universally. This issue will begin to compound annually if we all don't find a way to pull together and work towards solutions.

As a retired school teacher who is collecting a pension (to which I contributed for many years) and…Read More is still using benefits (to which I contribute), let's remember that it is not only the teachers' pension and benefits that are squeezing the school budgets, but also, as the Briarcliff BOE pointed out, all those unfunded mandates. All of the BOEs have their hands tied regarding so many of their expenditures, that they will have to cut programs. Excellent questions, Mr. O'Reilly.

Mickey Rivers June 11, 2013 at 03:30 pm
Unfunded mandates are also a big issue for school districts. However, the teachers pensions and…Read More benefits are a huge issue that must be addressed and recalibrated. It is time for teacher's pensions and benefits to be remodeled to look like those in the private sector. In the private sector, pensions are all but extinct - replaced largely by 401(k) plans (and in the case of teachers 403(b) plans where contributions are made by the employee. In terms of health benefits, in the private sector most companies pay a maximum of 60% of an employee's health care (and other benefits) premiums - not the 80% that is paid by school districts for teachers. This is financially unsustainable and needs to be addressed before it bankrupts school districts.

On a totally different topic, I have to laugh, Robin, at you looking in the directory for Mr. Borrel. The directory is my first resource for all people Briarcliff, forgetting they might not have children in the schools.
