Lori Sachare4 <strong>Inside</strong> <strong>Chappaqua</strong> <strong>November</strong> <strong>2009</strong>J U S T B E T W E E N U SGet SmartHey, I got smart and created afirst edition of <strong>Inside</strong> <strong>Chappaqua</strong>Light! And what a concept! It won’ttake up too much room whe<strong>the</strong>r inyour briefcase en route to <strong>the</strong> city orcollecting coffee stains on <strong>the</strong>kitchen island—yet, <strong>the</strong>re’s stillplenty to read! Miracle of miracles.With a blood bath taking down avariety of pubs, big and small, I dowake up every morning feelingblessed to still be publishing.L E T T E R T O T H E E D I T O RGaining PerspectiveI am a college student who suffers from bipolar disorder,and I am very grateful that you published and postedan article about Janine Crowley Haynes’ book My Kindof Crazy. I bought it and found it to be very moving; i<strong>the</strong>lped me gain a new perspective on <strong>the</strong> disorder. Ithank you for bringing this beautiful book to my attention,and I urge anybody who has a mental illness orany interest in mental illness to buy <strong>the</strong> book. AnonymousEditor's Note: IC's pleased to report too that Janine’s MyKind of Crazy just received an Honorable Mention in <strong>the</strong>inspirational Category of <strong>the</strong> Writer's Digest 17thAnnual International Book Awards.Rotary Club Wine TastingBenefits Food Bank for WestchesterAttending <strong>the</strong> Rotary's 5th annual wine tasting event, at Crabtree'sKittle House, were (L-R): Eric Nicolaysen, Martin Manton and PeterCostello, owner of Hilltop Wines and Spirits, which donated 20% of <strong>the</strong>proceeds to <strong>the</strong> Food Bank for Westchester. Over $3000 was raised.If you think you’d miss IC, tell you what: let area merchantsknow, and frequent <strong>the</strong>m more too. When downtownssuffer, merchant support dwindles and publicationslike mine suddenly find <strong>the</strong>y have an expirationdate—though sometimes a new publisher with greatresources, fresh ideas and new energy can brea<strong>the</strong> manymore years into a magazine like this one.While I’m not officially for sale, anyone interested inpotentially purchasing and publishing IC may contact mein confidence at editor@insidechappaqua.com. In <strong>the</strong> meantime,I do expect to come back strong with <strong>the</strong> all important“Winter/Holiday” edition (arriving in your homes by<strong>the</strong> beginning of December). So enough about that.Let’s talk about this <strong>issue</strong>...pegged it “Get Smart” afterga<strong>the</strong>ring some pretty bright voices, including that of<strong>the</strong> erudite Ron Soodalter who takes on <strong>the</strong> hush hushtopic of modern day slavery in our midst. Our cover gal,U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, is playing it smart andslowly making her mark in <strong>the</strong> state. She realized <strong>the</strong>value of “talking to” her constituents in our area and I’mpleased to provide a forum for that. In a”Vote Smart,”story, <strong>the</strong>re are interviews with local leaders—incumbentsand candidates—and a spotlight on <strong>the</strong> League ofWomen Voters... a group that never ceases to impressme with its ga<strong>the</strong>ring of exceptionally intelligent volunteersfrom our community.The quiet brilliance, sweet demeanor and keen sense ofhumor of one of <strong>the</strong> League’s past presidents and a formertown supervisor, Marion Sinek, always resonated.Marion passed away recently; at Crabtree’s Kittle House,family, friends, virtually all of town hall, <strong>the</strong> Clintons, andso many o<strong>the</strong>rs, fondly remembered one very sharp lady.After I launched my first <strong>issue</strong>, <strong>Inside</strong> <strong>Chappaqua</strong> receivedits very first fan letter...and it was from Marion...warm,encouraging, complimentary and so much more. Shedidn’t know it but it provided me with a surge of confidenceto keep at it. This <strong>issue</strong>, light though it may be, isin honor of her memory.THE MAGAZINE FOR NEW CASTLE AND BEYONDwww.insidechappaqua.com<strong>November</strong> <strong>2009</strong>Volume 7, Number 3Editor and PublisherGrace BennettAssistant to <strong>the</strong> PublisherCarine FeistContributing EditorMichael KohnDesignLisa SalernoContributorsSarah Ellen Berman, Bill Bramswig, Pamela Brown,Vicki DeVries, Alan Gerstein, Evan Glassman, Jackie GlassmanMichall Jeffers, Rick Reynolds, Jean SheffWeb ConsultantGeneral CounselBill BramswigBrian M.
