Irene dominates 2011 Star nominations

12/27/2011

As expected, Hurricane Irene dominates nominations for this year's Times-Journal Star.
No, the storm herself isn't in the running for the 2011 honor, but nearly every name we received is somehow connected with Irene recovery.
A handful of people were nominated on their own and then again as part of organizations like Schoharie Recovery.
Here they all are.
