Stop Sign Complaint

On Jan. 25 at 4:43 p.m., a Chestnut Street resident came to police headquarters to report a person known to her went through a stop sign and almost struck her car about a week and a half ago. The complainant was unsure if it was deliberate but wanted to report it because her mother had testified against this person in civil court. No further police action was taken at this time.

On Jan. 28 at 3:12 a.m., a 911 came through Tarrytown PD to Sleepy Hollow, with a caller reporting she was being threatened by her son in their Cedar Street home. She reported having no weapons in the home. Officers sent and said the son was in the bathroom and refused to come out, threatening harm to himself and possibly officers if they entered.

Tarrytown PD was contacted for assistance, along with a medic and an ambulance. Police reported the man was handcuffed for his safety and transported to the hospital by Tarrytown Volunteer Ambulance Corps for evaluation.

A big part of the problem is that the teachers' expectations about what supplies are necessary haveRead More become so extreme. When my kids were in school in Tarrytown, we would get a list at the beginning of every school year of the supplies we needed to buy. The parents were asked to buy a separate looseleaf binder for every single class our kids were taking and, for some classes, they asked for a looseleaf AND a spiral notebook. When I was in school, each kid had ONE looseleaf and we separated classes with dividers. Having SIX or seven loose leafs adds to backpack weight and costs a lot of money. My kids supply bills were often close to $100 apiece. The teachers have bought into this idea that all of these supplies are necessary and they are not. I'm not surprised that Staples is offering "rewards programs." Their advertising and marketing efforts have convinced the teachers that you must have a package of 12 red correcting pens, per child.
