Congratulations to Dan & Jon Schnur. You reversed the brothers in the photos. Dan is the Republican and Jon is the Democrat. Yoy need to reverse the captions. Uncle Cary & Aunt Susan Silverstein

You also have the wrong name on Sonja Ivanovich's photo (History/Political Science Teacher, 1967 – 1999). Marcia Spector was the School Board president, not Sonja.

Again, Sonja was not the school board president. The caption still says she was.

Obviously not many animals but there are squirrels and rabbits and other native mammals. Not to mention the kids at the play area. Most adult humans can handle an occasional wiff of a pesticide but not children or animals. I have held several pesticide licenses in my day so I have had much course work on this. I am surprised the village has done this but I know restoration is about to begin - again - on the bluff and perhaps they are trying to rid the bluff of all the weeds. It is a shame that the 15+ kids they hire every year can't be up there weeding instead. I don't know what else they could be doing as the village has reduced the amount of annual flower beds that need to be maintained.
