My very rst column for e Somers Record, “What have they

done to my city?,” was published September 13, 2012. Because it cap-

heroes, family, friends and strangers who perished that day and who

are still sacri cing their lives years later from 9/11-related illnesses.

FUNERAL HOME
“On that bright, clear September 11, 2001 morning, I was in our

o ce cafeteria getting co ee when the cafeteria manager came out

and said that a plane had hit one of the Towers at the World Trade

Center.

By the time I returned to my desk, my co-workers told me it was

the North Tower that was hit and that the South Tower had also

been struck. I then knew that these strikes were not accidents, some-

thing terrible and horri c was happening.

“Who could hate us so much?”

Little did I know the horror and devastation wasn’t over, that the

Pentagon was targeted by these terrorists and that another plane

would go down in a quiet eld in Shanksville, PA. I did the only

thing I could: pray.

Later, our vice president called me into his o ce and asked that I

go to each member of the sta and quietly tell them to pack up and

made it 28-0 when he jetted 62 yards with 11.7 seconds left in the

“My line did everything for me,” Balancia said. “All I had to do

in the rst quarter to get the Tuskers out to the big lead.
Jack Kaiser had two touchdown runs of 4 and 6 yards in the sec-

“ e team is absolutely amped up for Yorktown,” Balancia said.
“ ey are no doubt our biggest rival in every sport, so this is a very
important game for us. Also, playing in front of the crowd at a
Somers-Yorktown football game is like nothing else.”
