DAILY DOSE:
Any Moment
In every point of time, all of time is there.
After all, at every moment, as the previous moment and all its history is cancelled into naught,
 He must regenerates the entire cosmos anew out of the void.
And so He must renew along with this moment all of its past and all of time from its beginning to its end.
If so, He has rendered us masters of all of time in a single moment, of the present,
of the future, and of the past as well. Wherever we steer this moment now, there rushes all of time.
A Daily Dose of Wisdom from the Rebbe
-words and condensation by Tzvi Freeman

Wesley Hill Message from the Mayor - Road Safety

The following is from the November letter from Wesley Hills.  The following are excerpts
Concerned with ROAD SAFETY.
For full newsletter:
http://www.wesleyhills.org/News/Newsletters/newsletter%20Nov08.pdf

Road Safety
 Recently, there were two unfortunate hit-and-run accidents in the Village.  
 In the first instance, a 55 year old man was crossing Route 306 at 12:30 in the morning.
 He was wearing dark clothing and no reflectors of any kind.
Prior to the accident, the man was often seen wandering around and across Route 306.  It
was reported that the man was walking home after the Sukkot Holiday, and that there was
more traffic due to the Holiday.  Neither of those statements is valid  During the Holiday,
traffic is much lighter than normal in the Village, and the Holiday ended at 7:00 pm, more than
5 hours before the accident occurred.  In fact, the victim was returning from the Mobil station
where he had just made a purchase, something that would not occur during the Holiday.  The
accident occurred within feet of a sidewalk that currently exists on the West side of Route
306, beginning at Willow Tree Road, going North for several hundred feet.  Therefore,
sidewalks were not the issue here, especially since the victim was crossing the road at the
time.  
 In the second instance, three young boys were walking on Lime Kiln Road, when one of them
was hit and knocked into one of the other boys.  Fortunately, in this case, the injuries were
not very serious.  Once again, the boys were wearing dark clothing and no reflectors.  The
accident occurred within feet of an existing sidewalk, but the boys were walking three abreast,
on the other side of the road, in the direction of traffic.   
 
Both accidents are very upsetting.  One of the largest concerns, is the fact that the drivers of
the vehicles did not stop.  

Pedestrians need to keep in mind that cars and trucks use the roads, and therefore
need to take appropriate precautions:
  Always use sidewalks where they exist.
 Always walk on the side of the road facing traffic.
 Do not walk two or three abreast.
Move over and/or walk single file when vehicles are present.
 Always wear reflectors when walking at dusk or night.
