Announcing New Column: 'Your Most Wild or Most Heartwarming Moment'; Schatze Thorp, Editor |
 |
 |
 |
|
By Marcia Lee, Managing Editor, MyhometownBronxville
May 18, 2016: Is there a wild moment in your life or a very heartwarming one that you might want to share with the rest of us?
Bronxville resident Schatze Thorp will be editing a new column in MyhometownBronxville that invites you to submit a story about one of these two topics: most wild or most heartwarming moment.
The story may be a full article of not over 800 words or just a few sentences. It must be true, of course, and it must be something that you, not someone else, actually experienced, not just heard about.
Here’s my quick stab at it: When I was snorkeling off a beach in Bali, looking for rare shells, the tide suddenly started going out on me—not a gradual shift but a rush like nothing I had ever experienced. Suddenly the water below me became quite shallow and, as I looked through my snorkel mask, a large bed of sea urchins appeared directly below me. There was no way to get to the beach without stepping on the spiky critters. Are sea urchins poisonous, I asked myself, as my body drew closer to their level at the bottom of the ocean. Panic set in. Never mind the pricks to my feet if I had to walk on them. If those spines contained venom, I was done for. Just when my face was almost flush against them forcing me to stand upright, the bed of sea urchins disappeared. In its place was wonderful, fine, beautifully tan sand. It took me more than an hour after I waded to shore to lose the feeling of terror that pervaded my nervous system.
There you have it. A short story of a wild moment in my life. I’m sure you can do better. Give it a try.
Email your articles to Schatze Thorp at
CLOAKING
and to me at
CLOAKING
. She’ll get back to you in reasonably good time, and, of course, we reserve the right to edit the submission, and we cannot guarantee that each story will be published. When your story is published, your name will appear as author of the story. Do discipline yourself to 800 words and please do not include profanity.

Bronxville Public Library
The Bronxville Public Library traces its origins back to 1875, when it was a small lending library housed in a room attached to the “Bronxville Model School.” The Library was officially chartered in 1906 and moved into the Village Hall Building. The needs of the library grew with the town and, in 1942, a new standalone building was erected, which is where the Library is today. Over the years, the Library was renovated and expanded to meet the needs of the community.
The Library has wonderful resources for adults and children and offers a comfortable and relaxing environment. The Library also houses a fine art collection, consisting principally of Bronxville painters and sculptors.
The Library offers special events, art exhibitions, and programs for adults, young adults and children. All events are open to the public, unless otherwise indicated.
