The real test of civilization and community is how people behave under stress. Toward that end, I want to thank my colleagues in the Northern Wayne Property Owners Alliance for their selfless actions during Hurricane Irene. Without being asked, they banded together to keep roads clear for emergency vehicles, looked after the homebound and worked to mitigate damages and speed recovery. Once again, the town as a whole banded together to demonstrate the real value of “community.” Thank you.
