While we had fewer submissions the past week to our Local Voices section, we had a good variety of posts.

Angela Storch with the American Red Cross shared information about another area person helping with the cleanup efforts of Hurricane Sandy; Ariel Butler wrote about Northfield's connection to the largest mass hanging in the United States; and school board member-elect Rob Hardy shared his thoughts about the proposed "balanced" calendar that could have school start in mid-August next year.
