Heidi Bond Named
Citizen Of The Year
CLICK HERE FOR MEMO TO SCHOOLS Sports Can Resume, Superintendents Told COOPERSTOWN – In a memo released Friday evening, county Public Health Director Heidi Bond advised local school superintendents that sports can resume as early as Monday. “Effective Feb. 1, participants in higher-risk sports may participate in individual or distanced group training and organized no/low-contact group training,” Bond wrote, “…including competitions and tournaments, if permitted by local health authorities.”…
At a time when guidance and leadership in the fight against COVID-19 has been weak and appalling at the national level, Heidi Bond has been a shining star in Otsego County. Her leadership has been steady and even, seemingly unflappable in the face of an ever changing pandemic. She richly deserves this honor and county residents are lucky to have her guiding the county response. Thank you so much!
Congratulations to Heidi. Well deserved!
Congratulations, Heidi!!
That’s great that she did what was expected of her, but a person of real merit would do some actual research on health/ public health and stand up against the recommendations, which any honest doctor or scientist would tell you, negatively impact health. If businesses had no restrictions, there would be more money flowing into the county than she is making by covid kickbacks and fining individuals who host a fraction of people outdoors than Walmart, Lowes, or Bassett host in any given hour. She demonstrated she can follow and enforce rules, and I’m sure she is a nice woman, but I’d rather see someone who stands up for what is right get that award.
