Post 206, Westwood scouts

To the editor:

OURAMERICAN LEGION Post #206 in Westwood recently ran an event with the Westwood Boy Scouts to honor veterans for Memorial Day and place flags on their graves in the Westwood wood a place people want to shop, dine, and visit.

Moreover, we stand for making sure that whoever you are, you know you can come to a meeting or send us an email, and be involved in the governance of your home town. I want to stand with the team that has consistently proven it will stand for you.

I am proud to be running on a ticket that believes strongly in that message. I believe strongly in cemetery. We started off the day at the Westwood legion, where the post made breakfast for about 35 scouts. After that we headed out to the Westwood cemetery to replace old flags on gravesites and add new ones for our local veterans.

Great teamwork between the Westwood Legion and the Westwood Boy Scouts for a very worthy event!

Hats off to Hillsdale fire veterans

To the editor:

OVER 50 YEARSAGO, in 1973, Chief Mark Durst, ex-Chief Wiliam “Bill” Becker and exChief Keith Durie joined the Hillsdale Fire Department. They were the first group to join under the age of 21.

Thank you for your many years of service to a grateful Hillsdale and surrounding community! Volunteers are the heart and soul of any great community.

Zoltá n Horvá th Hillsdale Councilman and fire commissioner the troop honored five exceptional young men for achieving the distinguished Eagle Scout rank: Paul Belasic, Brian Friedlander, Thomas Hopper, Donald Keating and Dean Rehak.

Becoming an Eagle Scout is a significant accomplishment that requires years of hard work, demonstrated leadership, and the completion of a service project which typically involves hundreds of hours of commitment. These g entlemen have proven themselves to be admirable role models for their peers and for future generations of scouts.

As a Troop 80 Eagle myself (c. 2008), I am delighted to see how scouting continues to thrive in Park Ridge. These gentlemen, along with the other boys in the troop, are continually improving our town, whether it be a community cleanup at Mill Pond or helping the Park Ridge Recreation and Cultural Committee with the events we put on every year, to name just a few of their contributions.

Special recognition is also due to the troop leaders and families for their perpetual encouragement and support. I look forward to celebrating Troop 80ʼs one hundredth anniversary later this year. My heartfelt congratulations go out to Troop 80ʼs newest Eagles.
