Zachary Couzens’ parents were among the first COVID-19 cases in Putnam County in the harrowing weeks of March 2020. Zachary was only 16, and his brother 15, when his parents were admitted to Northern Westchester Hospital (NWH) with COVID-19 complications. After a frightening week, his mother returned home, but his father was put on a ventilator. It would be three more weeks of recovery before his father came home to continue his healing. The experience left Zack grateful…and wanting to give back.
“Fortunately, everyone recovered, in large part due to the extraordinary care my family received,” Zack said. “I wanted to dedicate my Eagle Scout project to the heroes at Northern Westchester Hospital.”

I thank my colleagues on the Maui County Council for having the vision to create the Climate Action and Resilience Committee just about a year ago and, just as important, helping the committee pass several landmark initiatives throughout 2020.
On July 15, the committee received a presentation on the ‘Aina Aloha Economic Futures Declaration by University of Hawaii Professor Kamanamaikalani Beamer. He said the declaration embodies the principles of a circular economy.
According to Professor Beamer, the key aspects of a circular economy are:
⢠A regenerative and equitable economic system.
⢠The decoupling of economic growth from environmental degradation.
⢠Meaningful work while rejuvenating the environment.
Holyrood to be recalled as concerns grow over rapid spread of Covid-19 variant HOLYROOD will be recalled tomorrow in the face of a continuing steep rise in the spread of the new Covid-19 strain as Boris Johnson signalled that another effective UKwide lockdown could be on the cards, warning of “tougher” measures ahead for England. From Monday, doses of up to one million a week of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine will begin to be distributed in hospitals and GP surgeries across the UK, due to increase to two million by the middle of January. The Prime Minister pointed to “tens of millions” of inoculations over the next few months, believing that some form of normality would resume around Easter.
