Under the chairmanship of Led Klosky, the Comprehensive Plan Committee includes Mary Aspin, Dominic Cordisco, Bill Grisoli and Lorraine McGuinness. They met mor...e than 30 times over the course of three years, meeting with village department supervisors and others. In its final phase, the committee benefitted from the expertise of Kristen O’Donnell, a planner with Lanc & Tully; Mayor Brendan Coyne secured a grant to pay half of the planner’s fee. As with many events in 2020, COVID-19 prevented the committee from finalizing its draft earlier this year. The committee held a public meeting Nov. 12.

On their final day on the river, Brendan Davis and Kirk Muir Horton paddled their inflatable canoe alongside Manhattan Island. As they looked south, they could see the Statue of Liberty, which grew larger with every stroke.

A group of parents and students gathered in the parking lot and walked into the September school board meeting together. When it was time for public comment, they urged the board to reinstate the high school drama club. The support for the program was encouraging.
