Biomass, greenhouse project promises 300 jobsBy Lucia Suarez
Staff Writer | February 26,2013FAIR HAVEN – An agreement between the developer of a proposed biomass and pellet manufacturing facility and a local hydroponic vegetable producer promises to bring more than 300 jobs to Rutland County.
Beaver Wood Energy and Vermont Hydroponics announced today they will be adding a 10-acre greenhouse complex and wholesale Grower's Hub warehouse adjacent to the proposed Fair Haven Biomass Energy Center.
Tom Emero, a principal with Beaver Wood, said the agreement has been in discussion on and off for more than a year before coming into fruition several weeks ago.
"We've got a whole other component (now)," he said. "The power plant has tremendous efficiency. With the greenhouses we gain additional efficiency."
Emero said the greenhouses and the warehouse will use recycled water and heat from the biomass plant. This will allow them to have year-round growing.
The food grown in the greenhouses along with food from local farmers will be sold and distributed throughout New England from the Grower's Hub.
"It is a way to utilize the made in Vermont moniker," Emero said. "It will be a distribution point."
According to Emero, the 300 permanent jobs created by the project include 25 jobs at the biomass plant, 25 jobs at the pellet manufacturing facility, 100 jobs at the greenhouses and another 150 jobs in the forest industry.
He said they are working on obtaining the permits before refiling with the Vermont Public Service Board in the Section 248 process for the biomass facility. The entire project is expected to cost more than $260 million.MORE IN This Just InSPRINGFIELD Springfield residents will be asked next month during Market Madness for their...

Voters approve $75M school budget By ASHLEY HELMS STAFF REPORTER email@example.com
It's A Winner!
Two trustees who are no strangers to the Eastchester Board of Education, along with one fresh face, will be sworn in this summer to continue their work on the board following Tuesday's contested election. Voters also passed a roughly $75 million school budget with a tax levy increase of 3.7 percent. First-time candidate Judah Holstein and incumbents Mary Messner Martin and Paul Doyle were elected to three-year terms on the board. Doyle was elected to his third term with 1,241 votes and Martin to her second term with 1,214 votes. Holstein secured 941 votes while the fourth candidate, Anita Ezertic, totaled only 805 votes.
Voters were vastly supportive of the 2013-2014 budget, with 1,115 residents voting in favor of the budget and 630 residents voting against it. According to Doyle, the differential between those who were in support of the budget and those who were against it is the largest since at least 1996. The district has yet to release the anticipated tax rate increase, with officials stating they have to wait on the town to come up with the number, which likely won't be available until the summer. Prior to her tenure on the Board of Education, Martin served as the co-president of the Parent-Teacher Association at Anne Hutchinson School and did extensive volunteer work for PTA councils. She said that she'd like to see a continued BUDGET continued on page 10

Eastchester firefighters settle new contract By ASHLEY HELMS STAFF REPORTER email@example.com
The Eastchester professional firefighter's union has ratified a new contract, which will be in effect until the end of December 2014. Any firefighter hired on or after Jan. 1, 2013 will contribute 10 percent to their medical coverage; as opposed to the fire district footing the entire bill after each employee's fourth year on the job as outlined in the expired contract. The union's 75 paid firefighters have been without a contract since the end of 2009. The change in medical coverage will, in turn, reduce cost to the
district over time based on each firefighter's salary. The contract was retroactive dating back to Jan. 1, 2010 and will expire on Dec. 31, 2014. In previous contracts, firefighters paid 20 percent of their medical coverage for the first four years of employment and starting the fifth year, the district would pay 100 percent of each firefighter's medical coverage. With each new hire pitching in 10 percent, Shawn Stewart, president of the Eastchester Professional Fire Fighters Local 916, says it takes some financial burden off of the district which covers Eastchester,
Bronxville and Tuckahoe while providing emergency medical services as well. He said that, compared to other police and fire unions in the area, the Eastchester firefighters are one of the lowest paid unions in the county. "We didn't want to just 'keep up with the Jones';' we wanted to do what was fair," Stewart said. "It keeps some sting off of the district." Stewart said that a contract compromise was established in just three hours of deliberation. The somewhat lengthy delay in crafting firefighters continued on page 6

Tuckahoe school board incumbent, newcomer elected, $30M budget passed By ASHLEY HELMS STAFF REPORTER firstname.lastname@example.com
First-time candidate Catherine CanalReichelt and Tuckahoe Board of Education President Julio Urbina scored victories to three-year terms following Tuesday's election. Simultaneously, voters overwhelmingly passed a $30 million 2013-2014 school budget with a tax levy increase of 3.8 percent. The district has yet to release the anticipated tax rate increase, with officials stating they have to wait on the town to come up with the number, which likely won't be available until the summer. Total votes in favor of the school budget more than doubled the votes against it, similar to the results in Eastchester and many other Westchester municipalities. Reichelt and Urbina gained 361 and 351 votes, respectively. Anthony Buonocore, a 15year veteran of the Board of Education, gained 296 votes while Stacey Alexander totaled 252 votes and Eboni Alexander totaled 225 votes. The budget passed by a landslide; with 459 voters supporting it and 202 voting against it. Reichelt, who has lived in Tuckahoe for 18 years and has three children in the district, said she'd like to see the creation of a more positive learning environment. Reichelt is a registered nurse and a PTA member in Tuckahoe. Urbina has been in the district for over 16 years and has two children in the Tuckahoe
school system. The board president, who will be sworn in to his second term in July, said that while the district's work is far from over, his opinion is that it has been steered in the right direction and he is glad to see that the budget passed with such a wide margin. Though he lamented Buonocore's departure, Urbina said he is confident Reichelt will succeed him well. Nearly half of Buonocore's years living in the district were spent as a member of the Board of Education, and Urbina said he considered Buonocore a friend and mentor. "We are losing someone of great value, but gaining someone who will have the same commitment," Urbina said. In a previous interview, Reichelt said she wants to improve learning at lower grades and would like to see children involved in more outside activities and volunteering. "If you can't read in Cottle, it doesn't matter what you do in high school," Reichelt said. The approved school budget for 20132014 will see the elimination of the Boards of Cooperative Educational Services Occupational Education Program and required transportation to the classes. But after the proposed BOCES cut drew the ire of some residents, Board of Education members said that they will try to work with families who would be affected by the cut to find a suitable solution. Other reductions include reducing the district's computer equipment and the

elimination of a full-time health teacher. Classroom sizes and technology were also a concern for at least one voter outside of the Community Center on Tuesday. Rev. Michael Gerald said that, because of large class sizes, teachers don't have the support to conduct specialized education for each student depending on their individual needs.
"There is a lack of technology to develop students in a post-modern world," Gerald said. Though he would not reveal exactly how he voted, Gerald said that he hopes the budget is reworked. "We need more money, but we need to do the right thing," Gerald said. "The district is out of alignment with the administration."

Voters approve $45.3M Bronxville school budget By DANIEL OFFNER STAFF REPORTER email@example.com
Voters in Bronxville passed a $45.3 million school budget by more than 75 percent of all votes cast on Tuesday. As a result, tax bills will increase by .93 percent next year. The 2013-2014 budget comes with no reductions to class size, no cuts to programming and no layoffs as a result of teacher retirement incentives and a voluntary wage freeze from school administers. According to unofficial tallies, 160 residents voted "yes" and 30 voted against the budget. "We're really grateful for the support," said Bronxville Schools Superintendent David Quattrone. "Over the past year, the [school] board has tried to reconcile the demands of high quality education while faced with state mandates." According to Quattrone, while members of the Board of Education considered a series of reductions in music, high school electives and other enrichment elements, they ultimately decided against those cuts as well as reductions to any school programming. The approved spending plan for 2013-2014 comes in approximately .8 percent under the calculated cap, which equates to a 2.44 percent increase in the overall tax levy. This year's budget-to-budget increase is 2.53 percent, or $1.2 million, from the current budget.
Unlike other municipalities in the county, the village regularly conducts a revaluation of all its commercial and residential properties within three year-intervals to ensure more equitable assessed property values. Because of this, taxpayers can expect to see their school tax bill increase by an estimated $14.26 per $1,000 of assessed property value. School board elections were a quiet event this year, with three unopposed races that saw the re-election of two incumbents–Board President David Brashear and Trustee Denise Tormey– and one newcomer who will take the seat currently held by Trustee Dr. Charles Cain. Facing no opposition, Bronxville Board of Education President David Brashear won reelection for a second three-year term on the board. Brashear was first elected in 2010 and is parent of four students in the school district. He has a background in economics. But, for Brashear, despite the approval of the 2013-2014 budget and respective school board elections, the overall turnout was deeply disappointing for the board. "We work hard all year long to ensure that we construct a budget that is responsive to community needs and supportive of the educational mission that village residents expect from the Bronxville School...and we devote a considerable amount of personal time to the effort," Brashear said. "Many, many voters were on campus yesterday for various events, including
the opening of the annual student art show, the Middle School orchestra concert, preparations for the school's Memorial Day celebrations, regular school drop-offs and pick-ups and a variety of school and non-school athletic events.

a new contract may be due in part to rifts between commissioners along with a staggering economy. For many years, the Eastchester Fire Board of Commissioners was embroiled in controversy regarding the board's operations and financial oversight. Meetings were often heated, and personal disagreements between commissioners may have contributed to the three-year delay of a new contract. In December 2012, Commissioner Dennis Winter was elected as chairman over incumbent Ray Albanese. A new commissioner, Steven Baker, was also elected to the open seat on the board left by Winter. Two years after the last three-year contract ended at the end of 2008, the Eastchester Fire Board of Commissioners voted to ratify a one-year contract that went into effect on Jan. 1, 2009 and expired at the end of that year. The 2009 contract provided for a retroactive 2 percent salary increase for all members of the union from their 2008 salary levels. According to Eastchester Fire District Commissioner Jerry Napolitano, negotiations for the new contract took only two sittings.
Napolitano said that the fire district wanted to look at how other municipalities in the county were establishing contracts with union members while taking the country's economy into consideration. "We try to keep costs down as much as possible and make it fair for everyone," Napolitano said. Effective the first of this year through the end of 2014, the new contract calls for an annual 2.5 percent increase in salary; up from an annual 1.5 percent increase in salary from 2010 and 2012. Eastchester Town Comptroller Dawn Donovan said that, while she can't comment on specific details, the Eastchester Police Department's contract has been expired since the end of December and they are currently in the process of negotiating a new contract. Though some residents wonder why the Eastchester Fire District boasts a $16 million 2013 budget, Stewart said that it's a reasonable amount considering its cross-municipal coverage. "The taxpayer does get a bang for their buck," Stewart said.

'Guys and Dolls' takes over the Westchester Broadway Theatre By Michelle Jacoby CONTRIBUTOR
Westchester Broadway Theatre lights up the stage with the classic masterpiece "Guys and Dolls," which is set in the colorful world of New York City during the prohibition era. The show, subtitled "A Musical Fable Broadway," originally opened in New York City in 1950 and ran for 1,200 performances. The show has had many revivals on Broadway and won 10 Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Director. The zany cast of characters ranges from missionaries to news sellers to chorus girls and gamblers. Each character stands strong in their beliefs, hoping for a better future. The contrast between the personalities provides a lot of fun and humor on stage. Gary Lynch as Sky Masterson and Courtney Glass as Sarah Brown are the perfect example of how opposites attract. The suave, coolest gambler of all time, Lynch is in total control on stage and shares beautiful songs with Brown in "I'll Know" and "I've Never Been In Love Before". Brown's high operatic voice fits her role perfectly. She hits her mark in "If I Were I Bell" as she finally lets loose on stage. Another strong couple on stage is Michael Brian Dunn as Nathan Detroit and Allie Schauer as Adelaide. These two light up the
stage with their quirky relationship. Detroit is a gambler looking for the next big dice game and Adeliade is his high-pitched squeaky voiced girlfriend. Their 14-year engagement provides a lot of humor throughout the show. Schauer remarkably sings all of her songs with her high squeaky voice including, "Adelaide's Lament" and "Sue Me." The women have completely different lives, but with one thing in common, men. Glass and Schauer share a wonderful moment in, "Marry The Man Today".

focus on technology and how it can add to the curriculum across all grade levels. Like Martin, Doyle also said that he's supportive of technology-heavy classes already in place at the middle school. Martin said that she wasn't surprised that the budget passed, but is pleased it passed by such a majority. Martin also thanked the community for their support of the budget and her re-election. "I am very happy to be serving with Paul, Judah and the rest of the board," Martin said. Doyle said that the fact that the budget passed with the mandate it did was important. He said he knew Erzetic and Holstein from their involvement at school board meetings, and thinks he'll work effectively with Holstein. "To get that kind of support from the community puts us in a constructive place with the community and nothing going on is adversarial," Doyle said. Holstein, a 24-year resident of Eastchester, said in a previous interview that he thinks the district needs to continue to move forward with maintaining education for teachers and staying up-to-date with current curriculum. "I think there are a lot of different pieces to the puzzle," Holstein said. The approved budget calls for the elimination
of three elementary school classes in September and two middle and high school afternoon busses. Following a decrease in enrollment, a first grade class will be canceled at Waverly Elementary School. Two second grade classes at Waverly will have an increase in student enrollment of as many as 25 students, up from 20 this year. The increase in class sizes is something that bothered at least one voter at Eastchester High School. Laura Lee said that she voted against the budget and feels that keeping class sizes down is important. She said that, even if the budget wasn't a good fit, some administrators are still able to obtain salary increases and other benefits. Lee said that she doesn't want to see taxes go up either, an issue that was of main concern for many voters. "Taxes are a big increase; they're a big increase every year," Lee said. "Salaries aren't increasing and the economy is still doing poorly." Voter Norma Ferrara said that, while she wasn't comfortable revealing who she voted for, she said that the ballot presented strong candidates. Ferrara said taxes were her biggest concern when deciding which way she would vote. "They have to go up, but within reason," Ferrara said.

Surviving your (child's) wedding NOTES FROM A THERAPIST'S DIARY Hillary Volper LCSW
I prayed to my mother one Sunday morning, something I never do. I'm a psychoanalyst, and I believe I can handle whatever is put on my plate. But these were desperate times. My daughter needed outfits for her bridal shower in Maryland, in five days. Do you believe the superficiality of my prayers? I wasn't praying for someone's health, or a cure for a disease or relief for a homeless family. Boston had been recently decimated by two young men. Wars, famine and abuse continue all over the world, and I'm worried about clothing for my daughter. I consoled myself that, even in war-torn nations, life goes on; people marry, babies are born and celebrations occur. In this "full catastrophe of life" I justified my prayers and hoped my colleagues wouldn't find out. I prayed. "Mom you were a fashion model, you have the fashion gene, help us find some outfits because I'm stumped." Silence from the other end. Not even a tweet from a bird outside my window giving me the "ah hah" moment that she heard me. Besides preparing for a wedding, those of you who are mothers of brides-to-be know how emotional this period is. Each bride responds in her own characteristic way as each mother and family does. My daughter worries how she will accomplish everything. She defended her dissertation, applied for a fellowship and was transferred to a different unit in the hospital in which she works all within one year, and she is marrying. Meeting my daughter in the city that Sunday, we trekked to an upscale department store. My daughter has a lovely figure, but looked horrid in every outfit. We left and went directly to a chain store that is found in every major city in the U.S., Europe and Asia. The clothing is cute and colorful and they can outfit you from head to toe. As I was standing in the middle of the store drinking in the array of outfits, and not having a clue where to begin, as if out of a dream, like two lovers meeting, Ryan appeared between the shoes and the arm candy. Hip and stylish, he wore leopard print slip-on shoes, brown silk flowered pants and a billowing shirt. I knew he was our guy. In our oversized fitting room, Ryan deftly and swiftly brought in outfit after outfit. And not once did he flinch at our rejection of any of his offerings. We settled on an orange sherbet-colored sheath with a navy blue cardigan sweater. Ryan wanted us to go with leopard pumps with tree trunk heels. We instead chose navy blue spectator pumps: more practical. We left the store thrilled, and then I told my daughter the truth I had prayed to Nana that morning asking for her help, and she had sent us Ryan. Thank you, Mom.
Here's the myth that is perpetrated on brides, and grooms-to-be and their families. "Getting married is the happiest time of your life." I have spoken to numerous mothers of both young women and men and to colleagues. They all agreed that, while there are many moments of happiness, they also agreed that there can be many moments of discomfort and disappointments. It's just like life. When your child marries, it is a life-altering experience for everyone, even though no one may realize it. There is a new cast of characters that are now entering your world because of your child's selection of a mate. The melding of families brings different challenges for both sides. Each family's values, financial resources and personality quirks come to the fore. You are also sharing your child with another family, and we parents are changing roles. We are no longer just a parent but inlaws and we have grown older. Without our knowing it, our unconscious memories are suddenly jiggled like a bowl of jell-o. Suddenly, we may think about relatives not here to celebrate with us, or reflect on our own weddings, whether wonderful or difficult, and that we are losing our child symbolically. In those families where divorce has taken place, children can often find themselves refereeing a soccer match with each problem being kicked from one side of the field to the other. Some suggestions: Keep in mind that you have only one goal for the wedding, that it be a smooth transition for your child and a happy day. Do not challenge anyone, including your child, at the height of your frustration. Problems arise, but let yourself cool down first. Compromise wherever you can to avoid ongoing power struggles. Find a "win win" situation at all times, always going back to your original wish that it is to be a wonderful day where your child is joining her or his life with someone she or he loves. Remember, you will be seeing these people at family gatherings for many years, so it's much more comforting to be on good terms with them. Make a decision how much you can afford for the wedding. If the in-law family is suggesting more than you can contribute, be honest, making sure to discuss your position with your adult child, instead of making unilateral decisions. Lastly, don't put the kids in the middle of your disagreements. You are grown-ups and you need to draw on all the grown up reserves you have developed over the years. And when all else fails, pray to my mother Helen, she might help. Hillary Volper, LCSW is a psychotherapist in private practice in Westchester and New York City.

For Uncle Henry By Douglas Carey CONTRIBUTOR
On behalf of the American Legion Post No. 128, I urge all residents, their guests and visitors to arrive early on Monday May 27, to attend this year's observance of Memorial Day on the Village Green and within "The Square House." In addition to the program, which will begin at 9:45 a.m., and the reading of the roll call of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice during World Wars I and II, the Korea War and the Vietnam War, an exhibit honoring over 40 Rye veterans who died in service to their country during the Second World War will be open to the public. The exhibit is based on the research spearheaded by Rye resident Chris Maloney, whose great grandmother, Margaret Kirby, tragically lost two grandsons from Rye during WWII, Sgt. John E. Bassett and Lt. James K. Taylor. The creation and updating of the website, www.Ryeww2.org, has served as the tool to educate residents about the sacrifices of the men and women who served our nation during the tumultuous years of the war. Maloney, whose father Sgt. Thomas Maloney served in the 8th Infantry, has organized volunteer researchers to locate information about each of the men and women who served in WWII and are listed on the Roll of Honor located on the east side of City Hall. We can honor these men and women and especially the Gold Star Mothers who
lost their loved ones, by going to "The Square House" exhibit to pay our respects. May 30, the original Decoration Day and each Memorial Day, are very solemn days of remembrance. The town, village and city of Rye have a long history of paying quiet, yet forceful, tribute to those who did not return from the battlefield. There is the official accounting of the first national Decoration Day after the Civil War, yet the townspeople of Rye did not wait for a national "holiday" to make sure that present and future generations would not forget the contributions of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Decades and decades of Decoration Days have been respectfully observed by bringing the entire community together, each year alternating locations for the community religious services between various houses of worship and then, with somber reflection, spending the entire day decorating the graves of those who were no longer with us whose bones rest peacefully and eternally within Greenwood Cemetery, the African Cemetery, St. Mary's Cemetery, the Milton Burial Ground, the old King Street Baptist Cemetery, and within several private burial plots in Rye including the Jay Family plot. The year that Rye was incorporated as a village, 1904, within the Town of Rye, there was a military hop the Saturday before Memorial Day, sponsored by the Flora A. Lewis Auxiliary of the Newell Rising Command
Pet Rescue Hailey is a beautiful and very sweet girl. She is about four years old and weighs 45 pounds. Hailey is completely housebroken and loves to walk and explore, play tug-of-
war and fetch, and will chill on the couch at the end of the day, too. She knows her basic commands: sit, stay, shake, down, etc. Hailey sleeps through the night, preferably in her foster parent's bed, and follows her foster family around the house hoping for a scratch behind the ears or a belly rub. Hailey does pull some on the leash if she sees an animal or another person, but she is learning quickly to correct herself. Hailey would do best in a home with older children, and she would like to be your one and only furry friend enjoying your undivided attention. Hailey is spayed, vaccinated, heartworm tested and microchipped. The adoption donation for Hailey is $250.

No.11 of the Spanish American War Veterans (This post was formed two years earlier in remembrance of the man from Port Chester who was killed when the U.S.S. Maine "blew-up" near Havana, Cuba in 1898. He was the son of Civil War Veteran, Elihu Rising and his wife Jemima). The Charles Lawrence Post No. 378 of the Grand Army of the Republic sponsored other events that year; including the memorial service at the Presbyterian Church at 10 a.m. the next day, May 29, and later that evening, the traditional address, which was delivered at Fehr's Opera House and finally, on Memorial Day, the gravestones of our veterans in the cemeteries within the Town of Rye were decorated with cut flowers. School children from the Rye Union Free School District were instrumental with this voluminous task. A special trolley car was reserved to take residents from Liberty Square to Rye Station and then to Greenwood Cemetery to make the annual stop near North Street. There, a special ceremony took place at the Soldiers' Monument at the GAR plot. On this Memorial Day, even though so many Americans will spend time shopping for bargains or going away for a long weekend, for many of us, it is a weekend to visit the graves of those who did not have the opportunity to become a father, a mother, an uncle, an aunt, to be a grandparent, to have a long career or to serve our community for many decades. It is a
day to reflect on how lucky we are, why we can never take our freedom for granted. Moreover, it is important to carry the dreams and aspirations of those who did not return with us every day in the community service activities and projects in which we participate. Personally, I reflect especially on the life of our Uncle Henry, who died of wounds in November of 1944, after taking machine gun fire in the thigh and midsection near the Vosges Mountains and the Alsatian plateau in eastern France. He was only 22, and served in the 86th Mountain Infantry, having trained at Camp Hale in Colorado, the Army Specialized Training Program for German language and finally with the 114th Infantry of the 44th Division. Uncle Henry died of his wounds but, lived for seven days with five pieces of metal from a German "beep gun" in his body refusing to give up and we, in the Carey Family, will never let his memory nor his curious personality and love of life, be forgotten. We remember my father's mother, grandma Peg, who lost her husband, a WWI veteran of four years of serving in the trenches while a teenager, and her oldest son in less than one year. I hope that we can make the time to stop our busy lives and come down to the Village Green this Monday morning to pay our respects, share the bond that common sacrifice brings and to honor so many that served so unselfishly with purpose and commitment to finish the job.

Walter's Hot Dog Stand has been a fixture in Mamaroneck for almost a century, and the historic roadside stand's claim to fame— its world famous "split" hot dogs—were recently listed as the 15th best in America by culinary blog, The Daily Meal. Walter's competed with 34 other establishments, all specializing in their own unique kind of hot dog. Walter's won out over popular establishments like Gray's Papaya in New York City and Boston Superdog in Roxbury, Mass. Walter's hot dogs are grilled in an open-face style in a secret sauce created by Walter Warrington when the first stand opened in 1919. The hot dogs are served on a toasted bun with homemade mustard. Originally, Warrington operated a stand on Boston Post Road, where he sold cider and apples before moving his business south on Post Road, and then eventually to 937 Palmer Avenue where the stand is today. The stand itself is a copperroofed Chinese pagoda-shaped building with dragon lanterns flanking both sides, and is situated in front of an outdoor dining area where patrons can enjoy milkshakes and french fries along with their hot dogs. The stand, declared a historical landmark in 1991, is listed on the County Inventory of Historic Places Hungry patrons line up outside Walter's Hot Dog stand on and was described in Roadside Palmer Avenue in Mamaroneck.

Playoff-bound teams to watch Tuckahoe Baseball At 18-2, the Tigers are arguably the best team in Class C and their top seed in the playoffs exemplifies that fact. The Tigers boast a few holdovers from 2011's state championship team, including Nick Reisman and Brian O'Toole, and they excel at every facet of the game, be it pitching, hitting or defense. The Tigers might be too deep and too fundamentally sound for any Class C team to match up with. If everything breaks well, players like Reisman and O'Toole might have another state title under their belts. Tuckahoe Softball Like their counterparts on the baseball field, Tuckahoe's girls have also had quite the regular season, posting an undefeated record. The team's turnaround, which started last year, has been a complete one, led by eighth-grader
Cassie McGrath, who has dominated both on the mound and at the plate. With McGrath, as well as talented veterans like Casey Stevko in the fold, the Tigers may just take home a Class C crown. New Rochelle baseball The Huguenots didn't steamroll through the regular season as their 11 seed might indicate, but where the Huguenots have excelled this year is in their ability to play up to their competition. The Huguenots have beaten two top Class A teams in Mamaroneck and Fox Lane, and should have the confidence to beat anyone, including first-round draw Clarkstown North. If ace John Valente is going well, the Huguenots are certainly one of the toughest outs in the Class A bracket. Eastchester Softball Led by Danielle Cacciola, the Eagles have

Tigers take top seed in Class C By MIKE SMITH SPORTS EDITOR email@example.com
Tuckahoe baseball coach John D'Arco, Sr. knew coming into the 2013 season that his squad was a good one. However, even he didn't know just how good his ball club would be. At 18-2 on the season, the Tigers now find themselves as the top-seeded team in Class C when they kick off postseason play on May 22, after press time. The lynchpin for the Tigers this year has been its talented and deep pitching staff. Led by Brian O'Toole, who was D'Arco's third starter during the team's state championship run in 2011, the Tigers have a number of hurlers‑including Nick Reisman and reliever Justin Sachinelli‑who have kept opposing hitters off balance all year. "Our pitching has been really good," said D'Arco. "We've had guys like Reisman, who didn't pitch much last year really step up and play well for us this year." Of course, the Tigers don't rely solely on their arms, and their offensive production has spiked dramatically from last year. Catcher Justin Cucino, whom D'Arco credits with handling the Tigers staff, and John McGrath have both raised their averages over .200 points from last year and are hitting .426 and .483, respectively. But the Tigers also feature one of the most feared bats in Class C, junior Mike Arborn, who is hitting .593 and has drawn more than 20 walks to boast an on base percentage of .831
on the season. "Mike has really done a great job," said D'Arco. "And along with Reisman, these guys are really the nucleus of the team, offensively." The Tigers drew Yonkers-Montessori as a firstround opponent and should fare well in the opener. Early in the season, Tuckahoe beat Yonkers 15-0. So, it will come as no surprise if the Tigers are able to handle their foes this time around, as well. A win on Wednesday would secure a spot in the Class C title game next Tuesday at Provident Park in Ramapo against the winner of Haldane and Schechter. Coming into the season, D'Arco predicted that it would be his Tigers and the Blue Devils vying for a section title. "Haldane is the barometer, we knew that coming in," said the head coach. "We had a slightly better record, but they might have played a little tougher schedule, so we will see what happens." The nearly week layoff will allow Tuckahoe to realign their pitching staff as O'Toole will be available to pitch both games, but that isn't necessarily a plus, said the Tigers coach. "To be honest, it would have been better to play that game on Friday," he said. "I think our pitching staff is definitely deeper, so if we had to play then, it would mean that they would be throwing their second or third starters, and I think we're definitely better in that area. "Still, these are short series," he added. "Anything can happen."

Sports Broncos fall in quarterfinals
By MIKE SMITH SPORTS EDITOR email@example.com
On May 18, Bronxville's lacrosse season came to an end as the girls were downed 14-8 by Albertus Magnus in the sectional quarterfinals. Despite the loss, however, the young Broncos should be poised for success next year as a rising senior class will look to lead the team back to a section title game. Despite having a slight seeding advantage over the Falcons, Bronxville coach Sharon Robinson knew her team would face a tough challenge. Although the 12-seeded Broncos fared better against the only common opponent shared with the 13-seeded Falcons, Robinson said that Magnus' strength of schedule–and its athleticism–were going to cause some problems. "We fully expected it to be a tough game," said Robinson. "We knew they had some nice players up front and they were very fast." Magnus used that speed–and some goals from Meredith Kandot‑to jump out to an early lead. While Robinson admitted her team is comfortable playing from behind, Magnus did a nice job protecting the lead from repeated Broncos rallies. Gretchen Richter had four goals for Bronxville, but it wouldn't be enough as the Broncos fell 14-8. "What they did well was handle the ball," Robinson said. "We were able to chip away, make it closer, but we just couldn't come back."
Helen Wood plays defense against Edgemont during a first-round playoff game on May 16. The Broncos topped the Panthers, but fell to the Falcons in the quarterfinals.
Briana Alberghine looks to shoot against Edgemont on May 16. On May 18, the Broncos fell in an early hole and couldn't climb out.
Despite playing an extremely challenging schedule, Bronxville's relative youth may have played a role in the playoff loss, but Robinson is quick to point out that this game should be a building block as the team looks ahead to next season. "I hoped that our schedule would give us an edge come playoffs, but we're going to come back stronger," Robinson said. "We do have a lot of young people coming back, and I think they are going to learn from this experience." Bronxville's team will feature a large senior class next year as there were 11 juniors on this year's squad, but it will also get key contributions from underclassmen who played meaningful minutes during the Broncos' playoff push in 2013. With so many Broncos players playing other sports during the year, Robinson said, the push for 2014 will begin in earnest around the start of the next calendar year. "We'll start doing some physical fitness, play in a winter league together," said the head coach. "But I'm a big supporter of girls not specializing, and we've got a Lilly Grass tries to control the ball on May 16. The Broncos will look to lot of girls playing soccer and field retool as they gear up for another run in 2014. Photos/Bobby Begun hockey in the fall."

Report: Iraq Study Group Will Rule Out Victory In Iraq, Propose Redeployment
A 10-member bipartisan commission that is charged with assessing Bush's Iraq strategy has reportedly "ruled out the prospect for victory." The New York Sun reports:
A commission formed to assess the Iraq war and recommend a new course has ruled out the prospect of victory for America, according to draft policy options shared with The New York Sun by commission officials.
Currently, the 10-member commission — headed by former secretary of state for President George H.W. Bush, James Baker — is considering two option papers, "Stability First" and "Redeploy and Contain," both of which rule out any prospect of making Iraq a stable democracy in the near term.
The commission was established at the instigation of Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA), and was intended to "devise a fresh set of policies to help the president chart a new course." Bush noted at his press conference this week that he "supported the idea" of the so-called Iraq Study Group and that he "looks forward to listening" to the commission's recommendations. Among the leading options being considered by the task force is a redeployment plan:
The "Redeploy and Contain" option calls for the phased withdrawal of American soldiers from Iraq, though the working groups have yet to say when and where those troops will go.
Redeployment offers the last best chance for Iraq. The longer Bush refuses to accept that, the weaker the U.S.'s position unnecessarily becomes.
The Center for American Progress released its Iraq strategy — Strategic Redeployment — in September 2005. It called for the drawdown of troops over 2006 and 2007 to refocus their mission on the war against terrorist networks in the surrounding region. At the time the plan was first proposed, just over 1,900 members of the U.S. military had died in the war. Today, the count stands over 2,750.

Rick Santorum criticized President Obama on Tuesday for allowing his teenage daughter to visit Mexico despite State Department travel warnings.
"When the government is saying this is not safe, you don't set the example by sending your kids down there," Santorum, a father of seven, said on The Glenn Beck Program. "I'm not being critical of what his daughter wanted to do, she obviously had friends going there, I'm sure she wanted to go along. But I think you have a higher duty when you're president ... you're not above the law."

(born 1947). U.S. football player O.J. Simpson was one of the game's premier running backs. He first gained national attention as the speedy and elusive star of the University of Southern California (USC) Trojans and the Buffalo Bills. Following his retirement from football, he maintained a high profile as a sports commentator and movie actor. In the mid-1990s, however, Simpson's popularity was eclipsed by notoriety resulting from his connection to a sensational murder case involving the death of his ex-wife.

This is one of my favorite banana breads. I love bananas, but the ones available in the US are not as tasty as the Brazilians, so banana bread is my way of enjoying this fruit. I am not criticizing, it is just that bananas grow all over Brazil, from North to South, so it is just obvious we have better ones there! ;-)

ORANGE, Calif. (AP) -- A hospital emergency room in Southern California has been shut down after a patient reported feeling ill and dropped a substance on the floor.
Capt. Ian MacDonald of the Orange Fire Department says a police officer who responded to the scene Friday quickly felt ill, too.
Both the patient and the officer were isolated at St. Joseph's Hospital and decontaminated. The substance contained both solids and liquids and was placed in a third room.
Patients were allowed to stay in the emergency room, but the Fire Department shut off ventilation systems. Walk-in patients are still being accepted. Ambulances are being diverted to other facilities.
A hazardous materials crew is preparing to examine the substance.

It was a gorgeous day on Sunday, for the most part. The sun was shining, the air was nice and warm and the wind was howling like mad.
For most of the day on Sunday, hats were flying off heads, dirt was pelting people in the face and garbage was getting tossed up into the wind.
Sounds rough, but that didn't stop most Colorado Springs residents from going outside and enjoying themselves.
The wind began to pick up during the early afternoon hours. Colorado Springs resident David Town decided to throw some hoops at a park near his home and he said at times his basketball seemed to have a mind of its own. "The ball just takes off like a golf ball, flying through the air", said Town.
Local fire fighters also had to deal with their fair share of grass fire outbreaks. They say Sunday was a good opportunity for them to warn people and remind them to be fire conscious. Colorado Springs worked on two grass fires that scorched about two acres. One of those fires came dangerously close to one home.

Beyond Charity: Microlending As Good Business
The year's Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Muhammad Yunus and his Grameen Bank, for their pioneering work in the field of microfinance, lending money to the poorest of the world's poor.
For the most part, the bulk of the money used in microlending has come from philanthropic groups.
But that is beginning to change. High-tech millionaires are providing venture capital. And mainstream investors and institutions are looking at microlending as a way to make money while doing good.

Pet-door pertains to all aspects of doors exclusively for pets, especially dogs and cats. This even applies to pet gates which are intended to contain a pet.
A pet door is a sub-subject of doors
There are many unique characteristics of pet doors which do not typically apply to general doors. One attribute is restricting use to a particular individual animal or maybe an entire species merely by their presence at the door, and without requiring an entry combination, key, or intelligence of the critter.
Residences might use a pet door to allow movement between indoors and outdoor at will but at the same time preventing burglars, wildlife, etc. from getting in.
Often pet doors are installed in a people door. But they can be installed in a wall, too. A smart pet door could prevent this.
Interesting fact:
Modern cat flaps are popular in the United Kingdom where it is estimated about 74% of cats have access to the outdoors.

Dragon Quest X Wii U is the same as the Wii version, no extras
Dragon Quest X is heading to Wii U, but the MMO will not be receiving any new features over the Wii build, Square-Enix has confirmed.
Nintendo World Report has stated that Dragon Quest X on Wii U can be played entirely using the console's GamePad controller, and while some 'moderate' improvements will be made to the game's visuals, as well as HD support, the actual game content will remain unchanged.
The report also confirmed that servers will be shared across both the Wii and Wii U versions of the game, and save data can be transferred between both formats.
No release date has been given for Dragon Quest X in any region, but we'll have more on the game as it happens.

Parks P-1
|Sport biplane
|National origin
|United States
|Parks Aircraft Division, Parks Air Lines, Parks Air College
|Number built
The Parks P-1 was a Curtiss OX-5-powered sport biplane that was built in the late 1920s.[1]
Design and development[edit]
Based in St.Louis, pilot, salesman and entrepreneur Oliver Parks founded an air school, airline and aircraft manufacturing business shortly after Lindbergh's 1927 transatlantic flight. Parks bought the rights to the Kreider-Reisner Challenger and modified it for production. The P-1 was built in a new facility in Cahokia, Illinois.[2]
The P-1 was a tandem seat, open cockpit biplane with conventional landing gear. The fuselage was constructed of welded steel tubing with aircraft fabric covering.
Operational history[edit]
The P-1 was both sold as a commercial aircraft and placed into service as a trainer at Parks Air College. Although the OX-5 engine was out of production since 1917, there were still enough war surplus engines available at low enough cost to justify installing them on the 1929 design. This made the P-1 the last new aircraft produced using the outdated engine.[3] Parks located his engines by sending out his associate, Joeseph Wecker, to buy OX-5 engines from flight schools in the region. Production ended at number 45, before the onset of the Great Depression and the temporary takeover of the company by the Detroit Aircraft Corporation.[4]
While part of the Detroit Aircraft Corporation, one experimental P-1 (X289W) was modified with a faired in, tail mounted, all-plane parachute. It was filmed in a live deployment for Paramount Sound News. The 60 ft diameter Russell parachute was designed to hold 2600 to 3000 lbs. A secondary 24 ft diameter parachute was installed for the pilot.
One P-1 has been restored and displayed at the EAA airshow at Oshkosh, Wisconsin winning the award for outstanding open cockpit aircraft in 1992.[5]

An excess of zinc metal is added to 50.0 mL of a 0.100 M AgNO3 solution in a constant-pressure calorimeter like the one pictured in Figure 5.8. As a result of the reaction
Zn(s) + 2Ag+(aq) → Zn2+(aq) + 2Ag(s)
the temperature rises from 19.25°C to 22.17°C. If the heat capacity of the calorimeter is 98.6 J/°C, calculate the enthalpy change for the given reaction on a molar basis. Assume that the density and specific heat of the solution are the same as those for water, and ignore the specific heats of the metals.
Figure 5.8 A constant-pressure coffee-cup calorimeter made of two Styrofoam cups. The nested cups help to insulate the reaction mixture from the surroundings. Two solutions of known volume containing the reactants at the same temperature are carefully mixed in the calorimeter. The heat produced or absorbed by the reaction can be determined by measuring the temperature change.
