On Monday afternoon, HS student Grant Smith received a certificate from Broome County Legislator Matt Hilderbrant for fixing up the Dorchester Overlook sign/roof. Grant is a carpentry student at BOCES. The Whitney Point Rotary Club approached the school to see if any students would be interested in taking on this project. Grant was the first student that came to his teachers' minds and he immediately said yes. He knew the sign was falling apart and he couldn't stand looking at it. Grant had a family friend, Allan Warpus, who had the correct tools to fix up the roof. Grant worked on the roof right in the parking lot of the Dorchester Overlook.
