Celebrate ‘Halloween at the YMCA’ Safely 

with these Costume Tips 

Bring the whole family to the 

White Plains Family YMCA on Saturday, 

October 24, from 2 to 4 p.m. to 

celebrate “Halloween at the YMCA.” 

There will be fun for kids and teens of 

all ages. For the sixth year in a row, 

the White Plains Family YMCA will 

be hosting a variety of free organized 

activities, including costume parades, 

games, snacks and a kid-friendly 

haunted house. Neighborhood youngsters 

can have fun in a safe, supervised 

environment. 

Halloween is a day of fun, sweets, 

pumpkins and pranks. It’s also a day 

for kids to use their imaginations 

by creating and wearing costumes. 

Nancy Cito, child care director at 

he White Plains Family YMCA, adises 

parents to take advantage of the 

oliday and use the costume-selection 

process to get to know your children 

a little better. 

“Take time to ask them why they 

think Spiderman is cooler than Batman, 

or what makes an angel more 

interesting than a princess,” Cito said. 

“Helping them choose their Halloween 

costumes offers a unique window 

of opportunity for parents to learn 

more about the way their kids think 

and who their heroes are.” 

But whether your Halloween 

plans include a costume parade at 

the White Plains Family YMCA or 

trick-or-treating in the neighborhood, 

YMCA experts suggest considering 

these precautions when creating costumes: 

• Costumes should be short 

enough to walk freely without tripping. 

• Small children should avoid 

masks, as they can easily slip and obstruct 

breathing. Use traditional cosmetics 

instead. 

• If older children wear masks, 

they should have generous nose and 

mouth openings and large eye holes. 

• If you’re buying or renting a 

costume, it should be made of fl ame 

resistant materials like polyester, 

treated cotton or a nylon blend. 

• When choosing your Halloween 

make-up, check for packages 

containing ingredients that are labeled 

“Made with U.S. Approved Color Additives,” 

“Laboratory Tested,” “Meets 

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2009 - SOUNDVIEW RISING - PAGE 3 

Halloween in Westchester 

Federal Standards for Cosmetics” or 

“Non-Toxic.” Follow manufacturer’s 

instruction for application. 

• When celebrating Halloween 

with very young children (toddlers 

and young pre-schoolers) who may 

have fearful reactions to masks and 

make-up, gradually build awareness 

by showing masks and playing with 

face-painting in the weeks leading up 

to Halloween. 

“Halloween at the YMCA delivers 

the same spirited and traditional 

activities families look forward to 

every year, but in a safe, family-oriented 

setting,” said Helene Mogridge, 

branch director at the White Plains 

Family YMCA. “YMCAs collectively 

are the nation’s largest provider 

of child care, and we’re committed to 

strengthening and celebrating families 

on Halloween and every day.” 

Contact Michael Garcia at the 

White Plains Family YMCA for more 

information about Halloween at the 

YMCA festivities. Call 914-949-8030 

or e-mail mgarcia@ymca-cnw.org.

grounds. 

Visitors, who are encouraged to

Graceland.”

Winkle” puppet show. For an additional 

$1 per person charge, Sunnyside 

on all four days offers spooky 

woodland walks complete with ghost 

stories. Visitors need online advance

These exceptionally beautiful 

paintings offer a timeless and eloquent 

perspective on one of New York 

State’s most precious and unspoiled 

natural resources. While accessed by 

tens of thousands of visitors annually, 

the Adirondacks still offer the vastness 

and quiet solitude of a much earlier

Central 7 Students 

Get 50 Percent Scholarships 

I recently attended a 

ribbon-cutting ceremony at 

RJ Bailey School. There, the 

school district and Dr. Molly 

Easo Smith, president of Manhattanville 

College, announced 

the Manhattanville College/RJ 

Bailey School partnership. 

Any student who graduates 

from the Central 7 School 

District with a B average will 

receive a 50 percent scholarship 

during their four years at 

Manhattanville. This could be 

a big boost to Greenburgh residents 

who reside in the Central 

7 School District, since college 

tuition at Manhattanville is currently 

around $35,000 a year. 

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was 

very exciting. The school district announced 

a professional development 

agreement. Manhattanville College will 

send instructors and student teachers 

to the school to help the school district 

improve instructional practice and enhance 

student learning. In effect, Bailey 

School is becoming the equivalent of a 

teaching hospital — the school is being 

used as a training center to help future 

teachers learn the profession. Other 

faculty from Manhattanville will work 

with the school district to improve instructional 

practice and enhance student 

learning. 

The students who attended the 

ribbon-cutting ceremony all wore “I’m

Yonkers Loses 

‘An Irish Prince’ 

Yonkers Fire Commissioner Anthony Pagano addressed Patrick 

Joyce’s family (at right) and friends, gathered at the Court House 

to honor his memory. 

A Joyce Family photo at the Yonkers Fire House 

y Dan Murphy 

Remembered as a loving husband, 

ather and brother, the Yonkers commuity 

mourns the death of fi refi ghter Patick 

Joyce, who lost his life battling a 

re at 149 Waverly St. last week. Joyce, 

16-year member of the Yonkers Fire 

epartment (YFD), entered the burning 

partment building to search for people 

rapped inside. An explosion from the 

re threw Joyce and two other fi refi ghtrs 

out of the third-fl oor window. 

Since his passing, the people of 

onkers have taken an emotional ride, 

rst learning of his death, and then hearng 

the news that Rafael Roldon was 

rrested for setting the fi re that killed 

oyce and seriously injured Yonkers 

remen William Kaynch and Joseph 

urray, and then holding a worthy celbration 

of Joyce’s life, ended far too 

arly at the age of 39. 

Joyce is survived by his wife, 

ara, 40, and their two children, Charotte, 

6, and Isabella, 7. Our thoughts 

nd prayers go out to his family. 

“He was the best at everything he 

id,” said Tara Joyce. “I ask all of you 

o take the beauty and love of what he 

id and continue what he started. This 

ill make his very short life a little loner.” 

Yonkers Fire Commissioner Anhony 

Pagano said, “God takes away a 

refi ghter and gives us an angel.” 

Joyce’s passing gives the Yonkers 

ommunity cause to refl ect on what he, 

nd all the members of the Yonkers Fire 

nd Police departments do each and evry 

day — risk their lives for the safety 

* 

* 

of us all. There are hundreds of heroes 

among us, working daily on the streets 

in Yonkers. They are undeniably Yonkers’ 

bravest and Yonkers’ fi nest. 

As Joyce’s widow Tara said, the 

best way to remember her husband and 

keep his spirit alive is to build on the 

work and care with which Joyce performed 

his duties — not only as a Yonkers 

fi reman, but as a father, husband 

and brother. 

Joyce’s sendoff was worthy of his 

courageous life, with Yonkers resident 

laying fl owers at Fire Headquarters and 

at 149 Waverly St., and thousands attending 

his wake, funeral mass at St. 

Margaret’s Church in Riverdale and 

burial at the Gate of Heaven Cemetery 

in Hawthorne. 

There was also a commitment 

from Mayor Phil Amicone, Pagano and 

every member of the YFD that Roldan 

will be punished for his senseless crime. 

Roldan set his former home at 149 Waverly 

St. on fi re after being evicted. He 

is charged with second degree murder. 

This fi re shows us the good and the 

bad that exists not only in Yonkers, but 

in every community. We lost one of the 

good guys, but his memory lives on. 

Donations can be made in Joyce’s 

honor, care of the Yonkers Fire Department,

The family is also suggesting that 

memorial donations be made to the

question: 

We have a small utility room in our basement that houses our panel for all the computer stuff and a 

stereo rack that powers the whole house. ...What is the best way to cool the system without having to run 

another condenser in the room? 

– anonymous, West Harrison 

answer: 

from Westchester Audio Visual Design Center 

It is very important to ensure that all of the stereo 

components don’t overheat. The components should be 

separated to allow proper air fl ow. Oftentimes, products 

can heat up the whole cabinet if there isn’t enough room 

for the hot air to escape, especially cable and satellite 

boxes. 

In your case, the best solution would be to either 

fi nd another location for the equipment or to modify 

the rack to include cooling fans and/or exhaust chan- 

nels so some of the air can escape. It really depends on 

your specifi c product layout in the rack and how hot the 

room actually gets.

My son (almost 10 years old) is very afraid of dogs and it is creating a lot of stress in his life. What can 

we do to help him get over this fear? 

– anonymous, Armonk 

answer: 

from Hudson Healing Wisdom School 

Dear Parent, 

First, you might want to explore with your son 

why he is afraid of dogs — is it related to a specifi c 

encounter he had with a dog; something he saw, read, 

or heard about; or just coming up for reasons neither he 

nor you can fi gure out? It is important to validate your 

son’s fears as being reasonable to a certain extent (dogs 

can be dangerous, and if not, certainly scary), while 

also fi nding ways to empower him so that the fear is 

not so extreme that it creates stress or a feeling of being 

stuck. 

Next, depending on your son’s particular temperament 

and style, you might want to read some books 

and/or watch some videos that provide some positive 

information/pleasurable experiences regarding dogs. 

...If and when your son might like it, you might want 

to have him pick out a stuffed animal dog and use it 

to help him make a positive attachment to a dog. You 

might want to take him to a dog show if and when it 

is appropriate, since dogs are generally well-behaved 

at these events, to a pet store with puppies, or a preplanned/coordinated 

with staff visit to a local shelter 

— perhaps even bringing some supplies they could use 

to help make the connection. Or if you had any friends 

whose dog you are sure is gentle and affectionate, perhaps 

coordinating a visit with them. I would caution 

you to be very careful about any “live dog” meetings, 

preparing your son and giving him complete control 

over whether or not, and when, and also working out 

with him that the visit could be ended at any time, either 

if he let you know, or if you felt it might be getting 

to be too much for him. The most important thing is 

that he feels safe, respected and supported as he works 

his way through this challenge, which must feel painful 

Robert Stith Williams, Jr. died on October 6, of natural causes. 

He was 86 years old. Williams was born September 13, 1923 in New 

York City. He attended The Hotchkiss School and Princeton University. 

He later went on to serve in the U.S. Navy during World War 

II where he earned the rank of lieutenant. After that, he joined his 

father and was named president of the R.S. Williams Ink company, 

a lithographic ink business in NYC. He later worked at Fraunces 

Tavern, where he survived the bombing attack in the mid 1970’s by 

seeking shelter under a desk. 

Years later, he and his wife, Nancy Edgar Williams, founded a 

touring company, taking young people to Europe. Williams was a 

member of the Sons of the Revolution, the Metropolitan Club and 

the Princeton Club. He was an avid tennis player and spent many 

wonderful years playing sports with his friends at the Pelham Country 

Club. 

Williams loved to make oil paintings, swim in the Long Island 

Sound and watch the Yankees. He is survived by his wife, Nancy, formerly 

of Pelham; his two children, Christine Lore of Delray Beach, 

Fla. and Robert S. Williams III, of Austin Texas; two granddaughters, 

Lisa Rinaldi of Watertown, Conn. and Pat Lore of Guilford, 

Conn.; and two great grandchildren, P.J. and Ryan.

which I introduced this week, will enable

efforts.” 

Schumer also applauded DiFiore’s 

leadership in achieving one of the highest 

violent felony conviction rates in 

the state. “Violent criminals do not belong 

on our streets. They belong behind 

bars,” he said. 

“I am pleased and proud to have 

Senator Schumer’s endorsement. He has 

been a strong partner on so many levels, 

all designed to make Westchester County 

and New York State safer,” DiFiore 

said. “In the fi ght against guns and gang 

violence, Senator Schumer has worked 

toward providing reimbursement for 

witness relocation. Also, his foresight 

to provide local law enforcement with 

additional resources to pursue specialized 

investigations involving mortgage 

fraud greatly enhances our ability to go 

after unscrupulous people who are preying 

on unsuspecting homeowners.” 

and frustrating for both him and you. 

You might want to work with a therapist, as it can 

be helpful to have additional support for both parents 

and children as they work through an issue that can be 

emotionally and mentally challenging. Children especially 

often benefi t from non-verbal therapeutic approaches, 

such as sandplay, expressive arts and play 

therapy, which allows them to process feelings they 

fi nd diffi cult to express in words. They can also benefi t 

from having a time and place away from their usual 

environment as a special venue for doing their healing 

work. 

As a licensed master of social work psychotherapist, 

I use both verbal and non-verbal therapy (including 

sandplay, expressive arts and play therapy) to help children 

and adults get in touch with their inner strengths 

to help them make the changes they want in their lives. 

Adults and children feel safe in my offi ce, and enjoy 

using the sandplay and expressive arts materials there 

at their disposal, with my support. My goal is to help 

people learn how to help themselves on a daily basis, 

so that they can have the most positive and rewarding 

life possible. 

I know you will have a positive outcome to your 

situation, because you are aware of your son’s challenge 

and actively seeking to help him with it. ...Good 

luck, and please let me know if I can be of any further 

assistance.

America Has a New Leading Lady 

By Susan Sobel, Social Security 

District Manager in Yonkers 

There’s a new leading lady topping 

the A-list. Her name is Emma. 

Among all girls born in the United 

States last year, Emma was the most 

popular name. Isabella was second. 

Emily, which had been the most popular 

girl’s name for 12 years, was third. 

The top boy’s name is Jacob for 

the 10th year in a row. He is followed 

by Michael and Ethan. 

America’s most popular baby 

names are based on Social Security 

card applications for newborn babies. 

Each year, Social Security publishes 

the top 1,000 baby names. Lists of

the three events that make up the triathlon, 

which involved more than 900

Should You Get the H1N1 Flu Shot? 

While You Decide — Wash Your Hands! 

As Westchester County and the 

rest of the country prepares for another 

fl u season and the reappearance of 

the H1N1 Swine Flu this winter, families 

are doing their best to educate and 

protect themselves, with the biggest 

question being whether or not they 

should take the H1N1 vaccine. Medical 

experts have differing opinions as 

to whether those most prone to getting 

the fl u — the young and the old — 

should be vaccinated with the H1N1 

vaccine, which has only recently been 

rushed to market. 

The Westchester County Health 

Department’s Web site, Westchester. 

gov/health, has a variety of up-to-date 

information and recommendations 

on combating the H1N1 virus, as 

well as the seasonal fl u. In addition, 

Westchester Health Department Commissioner 

Dr. Joshua Lipsman has 

been traveling throughout the county 

speaking about the H1N1 virus and 

the seasonal fl u, and the ways to combat 

them. 

“Westchester County had 130 

documented cases of novel H1N1 fl u 

last spring and this summer, most of 

these cases very mild,” said Lipsman. 

“The fi rst wave of vaccine for this fl u 

should begin to arrive in Westchester 

in mid-October and will be initially 

available to people considered most at 

risk. In the meantime, I urge residents, 

particularly those who are pregnant 

or age 50 and over, to schedule their 

regular fl u shots now. Parents with 

children ages six months to 18 years 

old who have not already had their 

children vaccinated should do so, too. 

Getting the novel H1N1 fl u shot will 

not protect you from regular fl u, and 

more people become ill or die from 

regular fl u each year than have so far 

from novel H1N1 fl u.” 

Each year, 36,000 Americans 

die from regular fl u and more than 

200,000 people are hospitalized. By 

comparison, at the end of August, 

556 died in the U.S. and 8,843 people 

not enjoy meeting your family pet. 

“Homeowners need to realize 

they can be held liable should a 

trick-or-treater be injured on their 

property,” said Allstate N.Y. spokesperson 

Krista Conte. “Each October, 

we invite all of the neighborhood 

children onto our property and drive 

on crowded neighborhood streets. We 

need to be extra vigilant about safety 

during this time and we also need to 

make sure we have the right amount 

of insurance protection.” 

Allstate also recommends that all 

homeowners contact their insurance 

agent before Halloween and make 

sure they are adequately covered in 

the event that someone is injured on 

their property. While a homeowner’s 

policy provides a level of liability

were hospitalized with novel H1N1 

fl u. Lipsman noted that people who 

think they have either mild cases 

of seasonal or H1N1 fl u should stay 

home and rest and call their doctors 

with concerns rather than overwhelming 

hospitals and medical practices. 

Lipsman said, “We also are recommending 

people ask their doctors 

about whether the regular fl u shot or 

H1N1 fl u shot is right for them. People 

who get the fl u, whether novel H1N1 

fl u or regular fl u, usually don’t need 

medical attention, but should stay at 

home and rest. Unless you are so sick 

that you must be hospitalized, there is 

no need to be tested for novel H1N1 

fl u. Residents who have already had 

novel H1N1 fl u also have developed 

natural immunity to it.” 

“I can’t stress enough how important 

hand washing is in preventing 

the spread of illness,” Lipsman continued. 

“Frequent hand washing with 

soap and warm water is the single, 

best thing we can all do to keep germs 

from spreading. In addition, if you 

have fl u symptoms, it’s important that 

you stay home from school or work 

so as not to spread illness to others. If 

you do get severely ill, seek medical 

attention.’’ 

Persons under the age of fi ve and 

over the age of 65 are in the highrisk 

categories of the regular fl u and 

H1N1. Pregnant women and people 

with health conditions, including 

asthma, diabetes or other conditions 

affecting the heart, lungs, blood, liver 

or kidneys, are also at risk, as are 

medical and health care workers. The 

H1N1 fl u vaccine will be given fi rst to 

people who are believed to be most at 

risk of complications, people who live 

with or take care of infants younger 

than six months and who cannot get 

the vaccine, and health care workers, 

including emergency medical workers. 

The symptoms of the novel H1N1 

fl u virus are similar to the symptoms 

protection, it may not be suffi cient 

protection if injuries are severe. A 

personal umbrella policy works with 

the homeowner’s liability coverage 

and provides additional protection. 

Additional benefi ts include: 

• You will not have to face court 

alone. If you are sued over an incident 

covered under your personal umbrella 

policy, Allstate will retain and pay for 

an attorney to represent you in court 

• Your coverage goes everywhere. 

So, you are covered no matter 

where you are, including outside the 

U.S. 

• Help with gaps in your coverage. 

Homeowners and auto policies 

do not cover certain types of incidents, 

like those alleging slander. But a personal 

umbrella policy helps provide 

230,000 square feet, in April 2007. The new 

facilities offer environmentally-friendly design features, 

including a white roof to refl ect heat, a high effi 

ciency HVAC system, building layouts for laboratories 

and offi ces to maximize day lighting, a courtyard 

located between buildings that maximizes permeable 

surfaces to reduce water runoff and extensive use of 

sustainable materials, such as bamboo fl ooring and 

low volatility organic compounds. 

In addition, as part of The Landmark at Eastview 

campus, employees are provided complimentary 

shuttle service to the North White Plains and 

Tarrytown Metro North stations and convenient access 

to other public transportation. The Landmark at 

Eastview is one of the largest privately owned, multitenant 

science parks in New York State. The 116-acre 

campus consists of eight main buildings and over 1.1 

million rentable square feet of research and development 

facilities and high-tech offi ce space. Construction 

of a third lab-ready building was initiated and 

completed concurrently with the core and shell construction 

for Regeneron’s two new buildings. 

In my remarks at the dedication ceremony, I 

mentioned that Regeneron is not only good for economic 

development, jobs and Greenburgh, the company 

is good for the world. Regeneron has given 

hope to families who have been distressed over the 

medical conditions of their loved ones. And, they 

of regular fl u and include a fever of 

100.4 or higher and a cough, sore 

throat, runny or stuffy nose, body 

aches, headache, chills and fatigue. A 

signifi cant number of people who have 

been infected with the novel H1N1 fl u 

virus also have reported diarrhea and 

vomiting. According to the Center for 

Disease Control and Prevention, most 

people with the 2009 H1N1 fl u virus 

who were not hospitalized had a fever 

that lasted two to four days, which 

kept them home for three to fi ve days. 

If you are sick, you may be ill for a 

week or longer. You should stay home 

and keep away from others as much 

as possible, including avoiding travel 

and not going to work or school, 

for at least 24 hours after your fever 

is gone except to get medical care or 

for other necessities. Remember that 

in most cases, fever and illness goes 

away without medicine. 

To get better, rest and drink plenty 

of fl uids. You can also take feverreducing 

medications, such as medicines 

containing acetaminophen (like 

Tylenol) or ibuprofen (like Motrin 

or Advil). However, aspirin (acetylsalicylic 

acid) should not be given to 

children or teenagers who have infl uenza; 

this can cause a rare but serious 

illness called Reye’s syndrome. Children 

younger than four should not be 

given medication without parents having 

fi rst spoken to their physicians. 

Tamilfu is an anti-viral medication, 

available by prescription only, 

and is recommended for use only after 

getting the fl u. If you are at high 

risk of fl u, your doctor may prescribe 

Tamifl u for preventing fl u and H1N1.

A parent training program — Parenting Strategies 

& Crisis Management of People with Developmental

to provide a safer community in which children and

training parents, caregivers and fi rst responders to 

successfully intervene and handle challenging situations, 

Project Beep is supported by the New York

• Reimbursement for lost wages. 

You will be reimbursed for the wages 

lost for your absence from work for 

a court appearance, up to the limits

Loans to Those Who Make 

Homes Energy Effi cient 

Greenburgh has always been a leader when it 

comes to energy conservation. On October 7, I spoke 

at a conference and discussed some of the exciting 

initiatives Greenburgh has taken over the years, 

including mandating energy STAR in residential 

construction; requiring LEEDS in new commercial 

buildings, solar panels at Town Hall, geothermal 

energy use at the library, having the region’s fi rst 

energy conservation coordinator, using all electric 

vehicles, our energy task force, incorporating green 

initiatives in our planning processes/comprehensive 

plans and much more. 

At the conference, there was also a discussion 

regarding two initiatives that can be successful in 

Greenburgh. Bedford recently obtained approval 

from the State Legislature to create a sustainable energy 

loan program. Babylon has a similar program. I 

think the Town Board should request similar homerule 

approval so that we can offer residents these 

loans. 

Since the loans would be repaid, and since the 

town could add on an administrative fee, no additional 

taxpayer dollars would be needed to fund the 

program. I have spoken with Allegra Dengler, our 

energy conservation coordinator, and have asked her 

to give this top priority attention.

Children’s Advocacy Center 

at WIHD Offi cially Opens 

Redesigned Center 

L to r: Jennifer Canter, M.D., M.P.H., FAAP, medical director 

of the Children’s Advocacy Center at WIHD; Georgene Mongarella, 

volunteer design team member, of Scarsdale; Ralph Martinelli, 

publisher of Westchester Magazine; Linda Blair, volunteer design 

team leader; and Wendy Breitner, Ph.D., director of Child Welfare 

Services at WIHD 

The Children’s Advocacy Center 

CAC) held an exclusive event to ofcially 

mark the opening of its redeigned 

space at the Westchester Instiute 

for Human Development (WIHD) 

n September 15. The CAC ensures 

hat children can safely tell their stories 

nd receive the care they need after dislosing 

abuse. Public offi cials including 

ormer New York State Senator Nick 

pano and New York State Assemblyoman 

Amy Paulin made offi cial rearks 

about their years of involvement 

n helping the CAC at the event. 

Prior to the development of the 

AC, abused children had to tell their 

tories again and again. They were 

bounced around from police stations to 

emergency rooms, and on to a variety 

of social welfare agencies. These children 

had to repeatedly relive the horror 

of their experience and abuse. Then 

in 1998, the Westchester County Task 

Force on Child Abuse and Neglect rec- 

ommended streamlining the process to 

better serve abused children and to fi nd 

a more compassionate and effective 

way to bring services to those children. 

The CAC model was adapted in 

Westchester County in 2002 with the 

opening of two CACs in Westchester 

— one at WIHD and the other at St. 

Joseph’s Medical Center in Yonkers. In 

2006, the two programs were combined 

as Westchester County’s central CAC 

at WIHD. 

On September 15, a redesigned 

CAC opened featuring childhood comforts 

and a “safe” place for children who 

have been abused. This CAC offers all 

of the services integral to the investigative 

process including: case coordination 

with a multi-disciplinary team; 

forensic interviews for children who 

have been abused; medical evaluations 

for children who have been abused; and 

advocacy and support for the child and 

non-offending family members.

WBT’s Production of ‘42nd Street:’ 

In One Word … Wow! 

By Sue Ann Witt 

and Millie Gutierrez 

“42nd Street” tells the story of 

the trials and tribulations of producing 

a successful Broadway show during 

the Great Depression. The aging, 

big name star breaks her ankle just 

before opening night, which threatens 

to close the show. Cast members 

urge Julian Marsh, the director, to replace 

the star, Dorothy Brock, with 

a young unknown talent from the 

chorus. While reluctant to take this 

chance, Marsh relents and convinces 

the young Peggy Sawyer to step in. 

Although uncertain of whether or not 

she can do it, Peggy steps up to the 

challenge, saves the show, and not 

only is a smash success, but goes on 

to become a star. All’s well that ends 

well. 

What is the wow factor of this 

production? Where does one begin? 

First, of course, are the wonderful 

melodies that have been around for 

On September 15, the annual Westchester Invitational 

Golf Tournament was held at Leewood Country Club, located 

at 1 Leewood Dr. in Eastchester, honoring the late 

Brother Anthony E. D’Adamo and benefi tting the Boys’ 

Towns of Italy, an organization dedicated to helping to 

fund charitable institutions and programs that are concerned 

with the development of children and youth in the 

United States and Italy. Through generous contributions 

and support from corporations and individuals, the Boys’ 

and Girls’ Towns of Italy are thriving communities through 

which young residents develop the tools needed to grow 

into responsible, well-adjusted citizens in an environment 

that teaches dignity and self worth. 

For more than six decades, Boys’ Towns of Italy 

decades, among which are “You’re 

Getting to Be a Habit With Me,” “I 

Only Have Eyes for You,” “We’re 

In the Money,” “Lullaby of Broadway,” 

“Shuffl e Off to Buffalo,” and of 

course, the theme song, “42nd Street.” 

The brilliant colors and glitter of the 

magnifi cent costumes in the dance 

numbers are absolutely dazzling. The 

acting, singing and mannerisms truly 

represent that era. 

The dancing, however, is truly 

what makes this production one of 

the best in Westchester Broadway 

Theatre (WBT)’s history. These performers, 

ensemble and leads, brought 

cheers from the audience after each 

magnifi cent tap dance routine. The 

stamina, enthusiasm and perfect synchronization, 

routine by routine, had 

the audience in a frenzy. We couldn’t 

get enough of these exceptional performers. 

There is no way to single out 

any one performer. This is a cast of

outstanding talent and great enthusiasm, 

to which the audience responded 

in the most positive and excited way. 

Kudos to Dorothy Stanley, Tom Galantich, 

Shannon M. O’Bryan, Todd 

Lattimore, Derek Roland, Ann-Ngaire 

Martin, Michael Scott, David Titus, 

Jonathan Tomaselli, Jenna Edison, 

Andrew Black and the wonderful ensemble 

of men and women, orchestra 

and crew, who made this evening one 

of pure delight and theater as it should 

be. 

“42nd Street” will be at WBT, 

located at 1 Broadway Plaza in Elmsford, 

now through November 29, and 

following the holiday show in December, 

will return for an additional 

run December 30, through February 

8, 2010. 

For tickets and information, call 

WBT at 914-592-2222. 

See it once, see it twice. It will 

wow you, through and through. 

Annual Westchester Invitational Golf 

Tournament Held at Leewood Country Club 

L to r: George Dunkel, Vincent Grippo, Anthony Oliva and John 

DeGiorgio tee off at the invitational. 

The golf invitational honored 

the late Brother Anthony D'Adamo 

founder Monsignor John Patrick Carroll-Abbing, along 

with Brother Anthony E. D’Adamo and the Boys’ Towns 

of Italy have profoundly affected the lives of tens of thousands 

of youth. Throughout this time, the self-governing 

residential communities that the monsignor established at 

the Boys’ and Girls’ Towns have provided at-risk youth 

from around the globe with “a chance in life.” Their mission, 

of caring for disadvantaged and homeless children, 

has been sustained over the years by Boys’ Towns of Italy 

and its friends. 

It is because of fundraisers like the Westchester Invitational 

Golf Tournament that the Boys’ and Girls’ Towns 

of Italy have been able to continue the valuable work that 

they do — caring for youth in need.

It’s that time again for scary ghosts 

nd lots of candy. And it’s time again 

or Westchester County to issue its Haloween 

tips to ensure the safety of all 

he trick-or-treaters out there. 

Costumes 

• Costumes, masks, beards and 

igs should be of fl ame resistant fabrics 

uch as nylon or polyester.” To miniize 

the risk of contact with candles 

nd other fi re sources, avoid costumes 

ade with fl imsy materials and big, 

baggy sleeves or billowing skirts. 

• Costumes should be light, bright 

and clearly visible to motorists. 

• For greater visibility during dusk

and darkness, decorate or trim costumes 

with refl ective tape that will glow in the 

beam of a car’s headlights. 

• If your child wears a mask, make 

sure it fi ts securely, provides adequate 

ventilation and has eye holes large 

enough to allow full vision. 

• Children should carry fl ashlights 

to see and be seen. 

• Costumes should be well-fi tted 

and not drag on the ground to guard 

against trips and falls. 

• Children should wear well-fi tting, 

sturdy shoes. Oversized high heels are 

not a good idea. 

• Tie hats and scarves securely to

prevent them from slipping over eyes 

and obstructing vision. 

• Think twice before using simulated 

knives, guns or swords. If such props 

must be used, be certain they do not appear 

authentic and that they are made of 

soft, fl exible material. 

• Avoid inexpensive toy jewelry as 

it may contain lead, particularly if it is 

imported from China. 

Trick or Treating 

• Trick-or-treaters should stay 

within their own neighborhoods. 

• Younger children should be accompanied 

by an adult. 

• Openly discuss with children ap- 

propriate and inappropriate behavior at 

Halloween time. 

• Children should carry change or 

cell phones to call home. Instruct them 

in the proper use of 911. 

• Review the principle of “Stop- 

Drop-Roll,” should their clothes catch 

fi re. 

• Children should trick-or-treat 

only to houses with the outside lights 

on and to apartment buildings that are 

brightly lit. 

• Parents should set a time for older 

children to return home. 

• Children should never go inside 

the homes or apartments of strangers.

Treats 

• Warn children not to eat treats 

before an adult has examined them for 

evidence of tampering. 

• Carefully examine any toys or 

novelty items received by trick-or-treaters 

under three years of age. 

• Do not allow young children to 

have any items that are small enough to 

present a choking hazard. 

• The only candy or snacks that 

should be kept are those which have 

been commercially packaged and not 

opened in any way. 

• Encourage your child to eat dinner 

before going out.
