Editorial: Bravo!

Thu, Oct 27, 2011

So many good things happening in the Greater Hamilton Metroplex! Where to begin?

Bravo to:

1. The Rotary Club for a well executed and informative candidates night for those running for the Nov. 8 town election. It was well run and well attended. Most of the candidates were well prepared and most answered the questions they were asked. Only once did a candidate open an answer with, "My opponent says ..."

2. The HCS girls soccer and field hockey teams. Both teams finished strongly and represented Hamilton well. Special nod to first years girls soccer Coach Brian Rose for solid season and getting his squad two games deep into the sectionals. And, one to Coach Karrie King and her field hockey squad for raising funds for breast cancer research.

3. The village board, and especially Trustee Anne Klauss, for taking quick action to make the intersection of Maple and Lebanon streets a four-way stop. This was part of the bundle that is the five-way intersection project, but the board broke it off and made it happen; quickly and efficiently and with due diligence. Look for the new stop signs in the spring.

4. HCS for being named among the top schools in Upstate New York by a Buffalo business magazine. The ranking was based on the success of students on Regents exams and state standardized tests. More proof that small rural schools can be academic stars.

5. Coach Don Vaughan and the Colgate men's hockey team for a great start to the season. So nice to see the Raiders do so well on ice.
