2010 - 2011 Byram Hills Board of Education
The Byram Hills School District will celebrate its 50th anniversary this year. On June 11, 1961 the Armonk, Middle Patent and Bear Ridge School Districts were consolidated into the Byram Hills Central School District. Charles Pound was its Board of Education's first president.
Today, Brett Summers is serving his sixth year as a member of the Byram Hills Board of Education (BOE), but it is his first year as the board's president. To learn more about the BOE and the role it plays in the Byram Hills School District, we asked Brett several questions. Read More
The Oscars There were some presenters that exuded actual charm. Cate Blanchett, for one, not only looked gorgeous with her delicate pale skin and non-traditional dress, but had an ease and an elegance that reminds you again why we like movie stars. Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law presented together the Best Visual Effects award where Law got in the jibe that (after Downey, Jr. complained about tech nerds), "If it weren't for them your closest moment with superheroes would have been in 2001, when you got busted in a cheap hotel with a woman dressed as Bat Girl." Given that we all know presenter banter is scripted, Downey, Jr. wins the Good Sport award for the night for the reference to his spotty past. He retorted, "First of all, that cheap hotel room cost $1250, a night with corporate discount, secondly it was 2000 and not 2011 and most importantly she was dressed as Wonder Woman not Bat Girl."
The best appearance of the night was, unsurprisingly, Billy Crystal. A repeat host himself, and one of the best in modern memory (perhaps one of the best ever), Crystal received a standing ovation and then continued with his usual wit and likability. Read More
Living with Food Allergies and Sensitivities Over the past decade there has been a significant increase in both childhood and adult food allergies and sensitivities. Fortunately, living with these conditions has become less challenging, thanks to the availability of a greater selection of foods that meet the needs of people with dietary restrictions.
Food allergies, such as those to peanuts, can often present themselves as emergencies and usually occur in childhood. Other common childhood and adult food allergies include dairy, eggs, soy, gluten, shellfish and nuts. Read More

ICE
Ice has skidded into our language in a number of words and expressions.
It was (and maybe still is) criminal slang for diamonds, because both
sparkle. Criminals also ice a person when they kill him (or her). To
delay something is to “put it on ice.” We all know that speaking icily
to a person is very unfriendly, but breaking the ice is putting
strangers at ease with each other. Read More
Keep Cool While Staying Warm During our cold east coast
winters, we often find ourselves admiring the idea of hibernation. A

snow, but this is not the way human bodies function and besides, we
have work, errands and for kids, there's geometry class and basketball
practice to go to! Read More
