COMMENT:
Antisemitism at Ridgefield High School
You always remember exactly where you are at the important times. You
might blink your eyes, or shake your head. You might say “what?” or
“no” or “why?” or “how?” You might say nothing.
I didn’t say anything the first time. Or the second. Or the third.
And I kept not saying anything until it become more habitual than a
conscious choice, and so each time something happened, it would no
longer be important to me, it would just be.

FAMILY MEDICINE
: Beware of hungry ticks
Without snow covering the ground, here come the ticks. Deer ticks
(Ixodes scapularis) truly prefer to feed on deer blood but when there
aren’t any handy, any mammal or bird will do just fine. And spring is
the prime time for them to be hungry.
This is particularly bad for us since their bite might transmit nasty
infections such as Lyme, and sometimes even Babesia, or Erlichia. As
always, prevention is the best course with several avenues to consider.
Next, be aware of possible symptoms to act quickly in case of suspected
infections. Thirdly, think environmentally and help work towards
correcting the underlying problems driving this seasonally accelerating
epidemic of tick borne infections.

TALKING TRANSPORTATION:
Bicycles and trains
Much has been written in recent weeks about allowing bicyclists to
bring their vehicles on board Metro North commuter trains, and I wanted
to add my two cents just as a commuter and not as chairman of the
Commuter Council. (Never be confused when I write here as I am always
and only speaking for myself and not the many groups on which I serve.)
What is it about “bikers” that they feel their rights trump those of
other commuters? How can such a well organized and vocal lobby be so
blind to the sad realities of commuting on Metro-North that they would
have standee commuters have to straddle their two-wheelers in
standee-filled vestibules in the name of personal liberties and “being
green”?
