Any results yet?

Only 320 households - $1,875 each. 

What was the reason it was taken out of service? If it was still in a condition it could be used elsewhere why couldn't it still be in service in Mamaroneck? 

That's why the VA and IBM responded.

So they can run an ambulance Corp that does 2,000 call a year in $30 to $40,000 a year?

Does anyone have info on the route from the church to the cemetery?

"From Tooth To Tail".  Are the supporting personnel in an army still called "Soldiers"?

Or only the ones firing the bullets?

Anyone can go on  charitiesnys.com and look up financials. 

When Empress takes over and Harrison gives them money will the town ask to see their books?

There are inspirational people in this world who devote themselves to the service of others.

Brett and Dawn Roberts are two of these people.

Brett, a longtime EMT for the Tarrytown Ambulance Corps, has dedicated himself to Emergency Medical Service and has built a wonderful reputation as a fantastic EMT and Tarrytown Tactical EMT Team Member. More importantly, Brett continues to be a wonderful friend, co-worker, husband and father. While his professionalism has allowed him to develop an impressive career, his personality has allowed him to touch so many people.

Dawn, a Veterinary Technician, has dedicated her career to helping and providing for our fury friends and pets. She delivers extreme care to any animal that she works with and is the definition of a hard worker. Dawn is a devoted mother and, as those who know her personally would say, a complete “sweetheart.”

Now, they need OUR help.

Their son, fifteen month old Trevor Roberts, was recently diagnosed with Retinoblastoma. Retinoblastoma is a cancerous tumor in the eye. In Trevor’s case the tumor was located in the left eye.

Last week, Trevor underwent surgery and his left eye was surgically removed along with the tumor. The surgery was a success as follow-up MRI’s have been very positive.

Trevor is now undergoing testing so the doctors can decide the next course of treatment which may include chemotherapy and aggressive monitoring to limit the spread of cancer.

Trevor will have a prosthetic eye and will have to take extreme measures to protect his eye for the rest of his life. He will continue to be threatened by cancer and unfortunately his battle is just beginning.

The operations, current and future treatment for Trevor have caused a large financial burden on the family. Both Brett and Dawn have been forced to take unpaid leave from work and medical insurance is not able to cover all of the costs.

Let us come together as a community of friends, family and supporters to help Trevor, Brett and Dawn.

Please make a donation to help this family in need!

Let’s all show our LOVE FOR TREVOR.

Anyone with some insight as to what's been going on?

So....................Back to the gear shift lever.

Channel 2 reported she recently bought the car.

after looking on line at Mercedes gear shift levers, I see that when you push up the car goes backwards. When you push down, the car goes forward.

It seems, to me, to be opposite of what you would do.

Maybe, and we'll never know, she pushed the lever down thinking she would go backwards?????

So, about this woman driving forward on to the tracks. The guy behind backed up to give her space. Let's for one minute believe she intended on backing up.

I believe the Mercedes has a shift lever that, I think, when you push up goes one way and push down goes the other way. Not a normal shift lever.

What if she pushed it in the wrong direction?

Wishing him a speedy recovery!

1) How experienced are most depts./municipalities at this vs. the manufacturers?

TRUE, So TRUE!

2) The big problem is how much time is needed for a minor change vs. a major one? What if what the customer wants is a minor change (i.e. will take the factory 5 minutes to change out a switch), but it will take 2 weeks for them to order it and receive it? Should they have to pay $14,000 in fines (based on $100 a day)?

Agreed that wouldn't be reasonable. Try being a general contractor on public works project sometime.

Sounds like the contracts should be written differently. I would think the contract would be written by the customer and the proposals would address time associated with change orders.

And then if the customer accepts the reason for delay as reasonable, then who are we to object?
