OLD SALEM FARM SPRING HORSE SHOWS
McLain Ward, the triple-crown winner of the shows
BY FAITH ANN BUTCHER
EDITOR
McLain Ward’s performance at
the Old Salem Farm Spring Shows
illustrated why he is considered to
be on the short list of athletes that
will be on the U.S. Olympic Jumping Team during the 2016 Summer
Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Ward,
who resides in neighboring Brewster, won all three adult Grand Prix
competitions that were held during the two-week show. With each
competition, he placed first with a
different horse.
On May 15, Ward won the
$50,000 Old Salem Farm Grand
Prix on the back of HH Carlos Z.
On May 20, Ward and Rothchild celebrated a homecoming on
the Grand Prix Field at Old Salem Farm. It was at the Old Salem
Farm Spring Horse Shows in 2008
that Ward jumped his first class
aboard the then-7-year-old Belgian
Sport Horse gelding. In honor of
the anniversary, Rothchild - now a
seasoned 15 years old - carried him
to win the $35,000 Grand Prix of
North Salem that Friday afternoon.
“Everybody knows I didn’t want
him; I thought he was crazy,” said
Ward. “He was hot, a little bit special, but careful!” said Ward with a
smile. “He does his job. He is who
he is, and I always say he’s a little
like my dad. I love him to death and

he’s amazing in every way, but some
days…”
Ward and Rothchild topped the
45 horses that contested in a course
designed by Alan Wade. Of the 10
horses that advanced the jump-off,
only four were double clear and
Rothchild topped the list with a
time of 43.81 seconds over the
short course.
“Alan Wade is my favorite course
designer in the world,” Ward said. “I

seconds. Leslie Howard produced
the first double-clear effort with
Gentille van Spieveld in 48.34
seconds. Ward returned on Tina la
Boheme, a 9-year-old Selle Français mare owned by Ward in partnership with Artie Hawkins, and
stopped the clock clear in 44.62
seconds. The time was enough to
take the win, bumping Howard to
second.
Ward finished third with Rothchild, and Marilyn Little took
fourth aboard Clearwater, with the
final rail of the jump-off down in
42.28 seconds. Filip de Wandel of
Belgium capped the top five with
his own Gentley after also pulling
the final rail of the short course and
crossing the timers in 43.87 seconds.
While the crowd that gathered on the banks of the Grand
Prix Field at Old Salem Farm on
Sunday afternoon was expecting
another win from veteran Rothchild, what they got was a headturning performance from one of
the younger horses in Ward’s string.
Ward and Hawkins, who is an accomplished hunter rider and trainer in his own right, purchased the
mare in November before developing her throughout the 2016
season in Florida.

FROM PAGE 1
“Artie is a very dear friend of my
dad’s and a great horseman,” Ward
said. “Last year, he said he’d like
to invest in a horse, so we bought
her when she had just turned 8
years old. It’s a really exciting day
to do this and a little bit special for
me for it to work out. Sometimes
you buy a young horse for a family friend and a great horseman and
you have the best intentions, but it
doesn’t always go the way you want.
She looks like a really nice horse.”
After proving that she has what
it takes to jump against international-caliber horses and riders,
Tina la Boheme is facing a promising future with Ward.
“I hope to have another really
nice grand prix horse next year,” he
said. “This is how we make them.
You have to put in some work, but
you have to start with talent like
she has.”
Ward won the blue ribbon with
Tina la Boheme, but was pleased
with how Rothchild jumped in
both rounds of competition. He
added that Old Salem Farm is the
ideal venue for seasoned horses like
Rothchild, as well as developing
ones like Tina la Boheme.
“This is an important event; it’s
FEI [Federation Equestre Internationale- sanctioned], good prize
money, and a great venue,” he said.

the first round of the $130,000 Empire State Grand Prix at Old Salem
Farm in North Salem.
“Rothchild is a great old friend of
mine and a winner. I thought he
was a little bit unlucky today not
to win. It was a cheap rail, and he
jumped phenomenal. But, that’s
sport.”
The upcoming Olympic Games
in Rio de Janeiro are dictating
Ward’s current schedule and consuming his early-season plans,
but his hope is to save Rothchild
for future events. Most immediately, he will compete at the Devon
Horse Show before joining Ward’s
other mounts HH Azur and HH
Carlos Z to show in Europe.
“He’s obviously the back-up for
the Olympic Games. It’s no secret
that HH Azur is the horse that
we’re thinking for the Olympics,
but it’s still a few months [away],”
Ward said. “We’re making his
schedule so that if he were needed,
he would be ready to go. It’s a lot
to ask of a horse his age, and we
would probably prefer not to, but I
do think he can handle it. I try to
go up and down with him a little
bit. I don’t give him a steady diet
of five-star events. I do a three-
star like this, up to a five-star, then
back.”
When asked about Rothchild’s
consistency over the past eight
years with Ward in the tack, he
responded, “He is a very careful
horse, and I think that’s made his
career long.”
With an obvious knack for winning at Old Salem Farm, Ward
admits that his horses strive at the
venue, which is just a few miles up
the road from Ward’s home base in
Brewster.
“[Rothchild] has done very well
on the field,” he said. “I find that
a really massive field like Spruce
Meadows eats him up a little bit.
He’s an ‘adder’. I have to take time
in front of the jumps and in those
giant rings it’s hard to always be
adding and make the time allowed.”
Ward is next competing with
HH Azur at the CSIO show
known as Piazza di Siena in Rome
on May 26-29.
As for determining who will be
part of Team U.S.A. in Rio, the
U.S. Equestrian Federation will
compile a short list of 10 athletes
based upon rankings, 2016 World
Cup Final performances and other
criteria, from which four athletes
and horses, plus one traveling reserve athlete and/or horse will be
elected to the U.S. Olympic Show
Jumping Team.

Local students awarded for Holocaust remembrance art
BY GABRIELLE BILIK
STAFF WRITER
Artworks featuring vivid depictions of the human race’s
most horrific human rights violations lined the halls leading up
to the Somers High School auditorium Wednesday, May 4, for
the Somers Holocaust Memorial Commission’s “An Evening
of Remembrance.” Among these
pieces were works created by students from North Salem High
School for the Fred Bachner Student Project Awards.
The annual event, dedicated to
honoring the memories of those
who lost their lives during the
Holocaust, included performances by the Ridgefield Conservatory
of Dance and the Somers High
School band, choir and orchestra
in addition to an address and performance by the keynote speaker
and cantor Deborah KatchkoGray of the congregation Shir
Shalom in Ridgefield, Conn.
Awards were given to students
from North Salem High School
and Somers High School.
Winners from North Salem
High School were as follows:
first prize: Kelly O’Toole, second
prize: Julianna Cervoni and third
place was a tie between Daniella
Jacobsen and Zachary Prisciandaro.
First prize winner Kelly O’Toole
Danielle Jacobsen said her project was inspired by the thousands
of people who defied the Nazis to help save lives during the
Holocaust.
Third prize winner Daniella
Jacobsen’s project.
Second Prize winner Julianna Cervoni chose to portray Jewish people wiht tattoos covering their face in
her project, to convey the attempts by the Nazis to take away their identities.
Zachary Prisciandaro, one of the third place winners of the Fred
Bachner Student Project Awards, said he made his painting “dark
and haunting” to portray the atrocities committed by the Nazi Party
during the Holocaust. “I painted this to remind people to never forget
the innocent people that lost their lives to the Holocaust.”

It’s Memorial Day,
it’s summertime!
n the words of Country
crooner Kenny Chesney, “It’s
a smile, it’s a kiss, it’s a sip
of wine ... it’s summertime!” Ok,
we know Summer doesn’t officially begin until the Summer
Solstice-but we favor the school
of thought that says Memorial
Day Weekend is the unofficial
start of the summer season.
So as you head into your holiday weekend, join us in celebrating summer’s start with these
celebratory diversions:
North Salem Memorial Day
Parade (North Salem): It’s a
North Salem tradition and a
Memorial Day must! This is
our favorite way to kick off the
season as we pay homage to our
hometown heroes, who gave the
ultimate sacrifice. The Parade
starts at 10:00 a.m. on Monday
May 30th, at Oak Ridge Road
and Rte 116 and ends at the

Boys State, the
path to politics
am the Post Commander of
the North Salem American
Legion Post 1866. Our post
is always busy during the month
of May when we get ready to
celebrate Memorial Day, this
year on May 30 and plan the
annual parade. The American
Legion also recently selected
candidates to attend Boys State
at SUNY College in Morrisville,
N.Y.
Boys State is a special program initiated by the American
Legion in most of the United
States. It is not a military program even though the Legion’s
function is assisting former
military veterans. Instead it really is designed as an incentive
to get veterans to participate in
government.
During the past 40 years
since the North Salem Post was
founded, we have sent at least
one boy from the North Salem
school district to Boys State
every year. There is a Girls State
and we sent one girl to this program a few years ago. We would
send more girls if we get more
applicants.
The program involves an
election for a make believe legislature and other officials including a governor. The boys stay at
the college during the five days
that the program is held. Our
American Legion Post pays all
the expenses including transportation.
SEASONED
WORDS
HERBERT F.
GELLER
We have appointed two boys
to attend the program this year.
They are North Salem High
School junior students Matt
Brown and Jake Leicht.
There is a military aspect
to the program. Two former
Marines supervise the rooms at
the college where the boys will
stay during the program. “They
are not bad guys,” one boy said
who attended the program “but
they make you get up in the
morning and march to breakfast
and classes.”
Sports are also an essential
part of the program. They play
baseball and other sports and
get a lot of physical exercise
along with the mental exercise
involved in learning about
government.
One important benefit of the
program is that it provides a
chance for North Salem boys to
meet other boys from all over
the State. Some lasting friendships have occurred. Many
successful politicians, including
former President Bill Clinton,
have attended Boys State and it
helped them in their careers.

OPINION
O
ne morning as I went
to make the bed, I
peeled down the covers
to smooth out the sheets and
saw something very disconcerting.
There, on my side of the
bed, about halfway down, was
a large dark spot. Upon closer
examination, the dark spot
revealed itself to have legs. And
upon even closer examination,
the dark spot revealed itself
to be legs attached to a large,
smushed spider.
“OH! MY! GOD!!!” I
howled.
I recalled a spider lurking in
the corner of the ceiling the
night before, but seeing as it

Happily Ever After
But today there was no one in
the house except the dog to
come rescue me from a monster
spider, albeit a dead one, so I
was basically alone to ponder
how I felt about having a spider
in my bed while I slept. Bruce
Springsteen, I would have been
OK with. A giant spider? Not
so much.
Of course, the big issue at
this point was not dwelling
on what happened during the
night, but what to do now with
the ginormous, hairy, smushed
spider in my bed? Should
I remove it from the sheets
before I washed them? I don’t
think I had the guts to pick it
up, even if I used enough paper
towel to bury a Yak. Should I
just take the sheets, spider and
all and throw them directly in
the washing machine? What if
it fell off the sheet while I was
stripping the bed and landed
in my hair? I’d probably freak
out and shave my head. Then I
would be known everywhere as
the Bald Spider Lady.
See, now this is why people
drink.
I finally decided to get a
magazine and use it to flick the
spider off the sheet and onto
the floor, and then vacuum it
up.
Summoning up all the courage I could muster, I shimmied
across the bed, got the magazine right up against the spider,
and then flipped it to the floor.
But before I could grab the
vacuum, the dog bounded over
to the dead spider…
And ate it.
Problem solved.

The benefits of cursive writing

DR. LINDA

Dear Dr. Linda,
Our fifth-grade son’s handwriting is horrible.
We can’t read a word he
writes, not even on homework
assignments. He can’t read
them either once he’s home.
He only prints, and when he
does, it looks like a chicken
walked across the page. The
school psychologist told us
that he has dysgraphia, a
writing disorder. She recommended that he be classified
with a learning disability and
be allowed to take notes on his
laptop and use the computer to
write all his papers. This means
he’s never going to learn cursive, even though I think our

Aren’t we doing him a great
injustice not having him learn
to write so people can read
it? How’s he going to sign his
name? Do you have any suggestions?
-Caroline
Dear Caroline,
I happen to agree with you.
Many teachers also agree with
you. In fact, research has shown
that students who write notes
in cursive vs. printing and
typing do better on tests and
remember the material longer.
Also, students like your son
who have dysgraphia, seem to
write neater and spell better
when they write in cursive.
Recently, in my tutoring
practice, I introduced cursive
writing to a third-grader and a
seventh-grader, both of whom
had severe dysgraphia. Not
only did their handwriting
improve and become more
readable, they were able to
create stories and complete
homework with greater ease.
In both cases, their teachers
picked up on it and encouraged
them to write in cursive. Once
it became second nature to
them, their handwriting issues
were no longer that much of a
problem.
What happened to these two
children shouldn’t be a surprise.
What researchers have found is
that, “Both tracking and movement control require much
more engagement of neural resources in producing cursive or
related handwriting methods
than in hand printing, because
the movements are more complex and nuanced. Thus, learning cursive is a much greater
neural activator, which in turn
must engage much more neural
circuitry than the less demanding printing” (Psychology
Today, February 2015).
In other words, writing in
cursive engages more parts of
the brain. It’s also easier for the
dysgraphic child because each
word is a unit unto itself—no
picking up and putting down
the writing instrument for
each letter. This way the child
doesn’t have to remember

separate strokes, which means
fewer reversals. By learning
cursive, our children will also
be able to read cursive, too.
Think of how many of our old
documents are in cursive—for
example, The Declaration of
Independence.
But, the most important
finding is that cursive writing,
even printing, engages more
neural paths than keyboarding.
Because of that, children with
dyslexia, a reading disability,
also seem to do better when
they learn to write in cursive.
In fact, years and years ago,
Anna Gillingham, one of the
founders of the Orton-Gillingham methodology widely used
to help dyslexic readers, advocated teaching cursive from the
beginning of first grade.
With that said, many argue
that children with dysgraphia
and dyslexia are better off not
having to write at all and only
use computers. Many teachers agree with this view. “Most
teachers would agree that, aside
from extended time, having
access to a computer and all of
its possibilities is probably the
most significant accommodation a dyslexic student can
leverage to improve academic
performance” (Yale Center for
Dyslexia and Creativity, 2016).
There is no getting around
the fact that the keyboard has
opened up the world for dysgraphic and dyslexic children
and adults. However, writing
stimulates more parts of the
brain than keyboarding does,
and the benefits are far greater
in my opinion. As the International Dyslexia Association
states, “Never forget: Writing
exercises the brain, keyboarding the fingers” (International
Dyslexia Assoc., April-May
2015).
In short, I recommend that
you teach your son both cursive
writing and eventually keyboarding. This way he’ll have
the best of both worlds.

End of endorsements?
s this the end of endorsements, or at least presidential endorsements, as
a credible, influential form of
journalism?
There’s been a buzz building
lately about how the endorsements of even prominent
politicians for their candidate
of choice are landing not with
a bang but a whimper.
Ironically, in this fraught
presidential election year, it’s
the absence of endorsements
by party leaders that seem to
be more newsworthy than the
announcements of same.
What about newspapers? In
this digital day and age, should
those bulwarks of freedom
of speech continue the timehonored practice of publishing
endorsements of presidential
candidates? Let me count the
ways why I vote no.
Several years ago in the
digital newspaper Huffington
Post, John T. Woolley, professor of political science at the
University of California Santa
Barbara, argued against what
he facetiously called “the ‘smart’

2) Why is it a good or noble

3) With advertising revenue

never have issued endorsements, at least explicitly.

S
Exciting advances in body contouring
ure, you know about
liposuction, tummy tucks
and arm lifts.
But did you know that
advances in body-contouring
techniques have greatly improved your experience as a patient? Here, I explain the many
ways you benefit from progress
in this specialty.
Recent advances in body
contouring have been driven
by patient-centered concerns.
Think dramatically faster recovery, less discomfort post-surgery, significantly less scarring
and minimized surgical risk.
Probably the benefit most appreciated by patients? The huge
decrease in downtime following
surgery. Improved techniques
have sped up recovery times
from weeks to days and months
to weeks.
One improvement is in the
type of anesthesia used. While
formerly, you would have
received general anesthesia, today’s body-contouring surgeons
use a local anesthetic called
tumescent anesthesia. Added
to fluid, it is injected into the
area to be treated. You benefit
from tumescent anesthesia in
many ways: its effects last for
matic to tissue, quickening your
recovery. When liposuction is
used to remove fat from an area
that needs skin-tightening, you
decrease the amount of skin to
be removed, so scars are smaller
and less tight.
Liposuction has traditionally
involved the suctioned removal
of fat from an area. During
healing, the skin tightens up
to assume the new contour.
Now, lasers are used to tighten
the skin’s undersurface during
surgery so that post-op, the
skin becomes taut faster, with
less trauma. This means better results with less downtime.

liposuction and lasers. Because minimizing the amount of skin
a laser uses heat energy and is
removed. That results in less
highly focused, it is less traupain, smaller scars and faster
recovery. This body-contouring
procedure usually involves an
overnight hospital stay, and
you’ll be back to work in one to
two weeks.
The standard arm reduction
or lift involves removing excess
skin from the armpit area toward the elbow and tightening
the skin, creating a scar down
the back of the arm. Today, liposuction is used to remove fat,
reducing the amount of loose
skin. The skin is then pulled
up to the armpit so scarring
is hidden. The latest thigh lift
also incorporates liposuction
for greater safety, less scarring
and faster recovery. After an
arm and thigh lift, you can
be back to work in one week.
While there is an immediate
visible difference after all three
procedures, you’ll enjoy the full
results in about three weeks.
Today, body-contouring
surgeons are maximizing the
patient’s own contribution to
safety and results. So surgeons
are making sure patients quit
smoking before a procedure,
as both anesthesia and healing
require good blood flow everywhere in the body. Surgeons are
also advising patients to wait
until they’re at a weight they
can maintain before having a
body-contouring procedure, to
avoid subsequent weight gain
and more loose skin.
While it can’t solve personal problems, body cosmetic
surgery can be the answer to: “I
feel young and I’m active, but I
don’t look the way I feel.” If you
go in with that attitude, body
contouring can be a fantastic
boost to self-esteem.

What women need to know about breast density...
Ask the doctor
Q: At what age should I begin getting
mammograms?
Bonnie Litvack, MD, FACR
Director, Women’s Imaging
Northern Westchester Hospital
A: Once a woman turns 40, the American Cancer Society
and most recognized medical authorities recommend
she start getting yearly mammograms. But mammograms
aren’t uniformly sensitive in all women. Between 40 and
50 percent of women have dense breasts – fibrous tissue
as opposed to mostly fatty tissue – and that density can
obscure potential problems.
nwhbreastinstitute.org/DrLitvack
Learn more about breast density
and mammograms at
www.nwhbreastinstitute.org
Many women aren’t aware that breast density is an
issue. New York State requires doctors to notify women,
in a letter, when their mammogram reveals this is the
case. Do not become alarmed if you get this letter. It
simply means that you should have a conversation with
your doctor about your overall breast cancer risk.
Q: Why is it important to know
if I have dense breasts?
A: Dense breasts can make mammograms less sensitive,
and they may also contribute to cancer risk. You’ll need to
speak with your doctor about your individual lifetime risk
and thoroughly evaluate your risk factors. To determine
your risk, your doctor will ask you about your family history
of breast and ovarian cancer, your age when you had
400 East Main Street | Mount Kisco, NY 10549
914.666.1200 | www.nwhc.net
your first period, whether you have children, when you
had your first child, and any history of chest irradiation,
among other potential risk factors. The good news is that
for many women with dense breasts, their risk won’t be
elevated enough to warrant any changes in screening.
Q: What if I’m high risk?
A: Women who are at high risk (greater than a 20-25%
lifetime risk) and who have dense breast tissue should
have annual screening breast magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) in addition to a mammogram. MRIs are
very sensitive and can pick up some cancer missed on
a mammogram.
Q: Shouldn’t all women, regardless of their
breast density, get a Breast MRI?
A: There are many false positives with Breast MRI, which
is why it is only recommended for women who are at
high risk as they will derive the most benefit. Regardless
of your breast density, make sure you get your yearly
mammogram and discuss your risk factors for breast
cancer with your physician.
Did you know?
Having dense breast tissue may increase
your risk of getting breast cancer.

North Salem feasts on Irvington in quarters
Tigers’ season ends in semifinals with loss to defending champ Bronxville
BY DOMINICK DEPOLE
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
After a mediocre first half of
the season, North Salem surged
in the second half and found its
groove heading into sectionals.
The Tigers rolled past fifthseeded Irvington with with a
convincing 17-2 thumping in the
Section 1 Class C quarterfinals
on May 20.
“Sometimes it takes a little
while for the girls to jell throughout the season,” North Salem
coach Christine Werlau said.
“We had some difficult games
in the beginning of the year. It
taught them something. We
have been working on the simple
things, and we kept it simple today. Everybody has a role and we
are communicating much better.”
The fourth-seeded Tigers
picked up right where they left
off after knocking off Pleasantville in the first round, not
missing a beat from the opening
whistle. Their new and improved
high-octane offense proved too
much for Irvington, zooming
past the defense for a score almost every time.
“Starting off the season we
would just stand there and watch
some players,” freshman Grace
Curran said. “But as the games
went on we started working together by moving off ball and
cutting.”
Curran cut her way to netting five goals for the game.
Lydia Werlau racked up six goals
and assisted one. Paige Werlau
played a balanced game, tallying four goals and three assists.
Katie Wagner and Amy Fetterolf each scored a goal too. Julia
D’Innocenzo passed for two as-

sists and Haley Vermette pitched
in with one assist.
“Some of the younger girls
have stepped up and gotten more
comfortable with what their role
is on the team,” coach Werlau
said. “Next they will have an even
bigger role. This is getting kids
like Lydia, Katie, Amira Flayhan,
Amy and Grace to the next level.
A lot of the younger players play
multiple positions too, which is
awesome.”
Paige Werlau fights through a double team.
North Salem’s revised defense
also continues to bring them success. The energetic bunch chased
down several loose balls and created havoc for the Bulldogs during the entire game. The Tigers
gathered 12 groundballs and intercepted five passes.
“We changed our defense midway through the season,” coach
Werlau said. “We found that we
were not having even matchups
in man-to-man, so we addressed
that by going to a zone and giving everybody an area that they
are responsible for.”
Defensive play is something
that has been focused on more as
the season has progressed.
“We have been working on defense more now than we usually
have,” defenseman Muiread Heffernan said. “We also have new
plays on offense that focus on
what each girl can do well. Say a
girl is really good at feeding the

doing that.”
For defenseman Olivia Marino, it’s all about getting down
pat the right strategy.
“We definitely now know more
about each other now,” Marino
said. “We compensate for each
others’ faults and we have been
communicating in our zone. Our
goalie clears have also gotten a
lot better. Everyone is getting out
and creating space for the midfielders and attack to come in.”

Tigers pounce on Hamilton in semis
BY DOMINICK DEPOLE
Pennacchio tosses two-hitter in complete game shutout
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
A monstrous first inning set the tone for secondseeded North Salem in it’s 11-0 drubbing of visiting
No. 3-seeded Alexander Hamilton in the the Section
1 Class C semifinals on May 23.
“It was our intention to make the first the most
important inning,” North Salem coach Bob Mittelstadt said. “We’ve been flat and slow getting out of
the gate on Monday’s. We made sure today that we
stayed focused. We threw the kitchen sink at them.
We bunted, we hit the long ball and we stole.”
The Tigers walloped the ball around for five runs
in the bottom of the first. A pair of errors off balls hit
by Haley Donovan and Kayla Harris combined with
a walk by Anastasia Pennacchio got one run across to
set up catcher Casey Harmon’s two-run triple.
“We’re all about doing as many things as possible
to get runs on the board,” Mittelstadt said. “We just
wanted to come out with all we had and just go right
at them. We knew that they could be dangerous if
they stayed close.”
Harmon drove in five runs on the day and crushed
a two-run homer to left-center field. She roped a
single too.
Third baseman Alina DiMella tripled to start the
game and was plated by right-fielder Claire Bonzani’s RBI groundout. Bonzani also looped two basehits and scored two runs. She dashed home after a

wild pitch to tally one of the runs.
Harris drilled an RBI single up
the middle in the fifth and lined
a double. First baseman Dom
DeAngelis shredded two singles.
North Salem made great contact on offense, only striking out
one time as a team for the entire
game.
“Everyone is doing their part
and we are working together really well,” senior star starting
pitcher Pennacchio said. “As well
as I can pitch everyone can play
the field positions. It feels great
having everything come together
at the end of the season.”
Pennacchio cleared the way
for the Tigers, allowing no runs
over seven innings pitched. The
right-hander fanned nine batters
and only let up two hits on the
big stage.
“Anastasia pitched her best
game of the year,” Mittelstadt
said. “She threw harder than she
has in a while and had command
of all her pitches. She is very confident in her ability and the defense playing behind her.”
The senior even bashed a solo
home-run to dead centerfield
in the third inning. Pennacchio
reached base in all four of her
plate appearances. It will be her
first time playing in the section
finals after making the semifinals
for the past two years.
“It feels incredible especially
for senior year,” Pennacchio said.
The Tigers have now clawed
their way to nine wins in their
last 11 contests after starting the
season winning two of eight.
“We played some really tough
teams early on which hardened
our resolve,” Mittelstadt said.
“We got our act together and we
have been able to play better defense.”
Hamilton’s porous defense
committed six errors. The young
Tigers have been buckling down
on their fundamentals as the season has developed.
“It’s all about not beating yourselves,” Mittelstadt said. “We’ve
been better at that lately. We start
five sophomores and a freshman,
so we are still evolving.”
This season is North Salem’s
first in Class C in over 10 years.
Only four teams made the playoffs, as the Tigers (12-8) will
square off with fourth-seeded
Haldane for the Championship
on Friday, May 27 at 4 p.m. at
North Rockland High School.
The Tigers beat Haldane in
both meetings this season, including a 12-3 hammering on
the road. Though the Blue Devils
have already pulled off one upset
in their 5-1 victory in the semifinal over top-seeded Tuckahoe.
“We need to have all 21 girls
working together as a team unit
to win the game,” Pennacchio
said. “We’re solid now and we’re
just gonna go for it all.”

Think outside the backyard barbecue box
While backyard barbecue menus are often dominated by hot dogs and hamburgers, hosts can expand
that menu however they see fit. For example, fried chicken is a natural complement to popular backyard
barbecue fare,ß such as potato salad and fresh watermelon.
Store-bought fried chicken can suffice in a pinch, but hosts who want to go the extra mile and offer
a delicious homemade meal can prepare the following recipe for “Kansas City Fried Chicken” courtesy
of Neal Corman’s “Virgil’s Barbecue Road Trip Cookbook” (St. Martin’s Press).

Here’s How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into
nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must
fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once
in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which
the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided
in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve
the puzzle!

Business & Real Estate
What the
unemployment
report tell us about
the economy
Markets slumped for the third
week as global concerns pressured investors again, and domestic data painted a modest picture. For the week, the S&P 500
lost 0.40%, the Dow fell 0.19%,
the NASDAQ dropped 0.82%,
and the MSCI EAFE (Emerging Markets) fell 3.19%.
April’s job report showed investors that the labor market
continues to improve, adding
160,000 jobs last month. However, the gains were far below the
consensus estimate of 200,000
new jobs. However, the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 5.0%, one estimate
of the underemployment rate—
measuring discouraged workers
and part-timers who want fulltime work—fell to 9.7% from
9.8% in March. That’s good news,
because it means that workers
who have struggled in the recovery may finally be catching up.
However, it’s not all good
news. A separate private industry
report found that job cuts surged
35.0% between March and April
as firms let go of workers. Over
250,000 pink slips were handed
out between January and April,
the largest number since early
2009. Though the beleaguered
energy sector is driving layoffs,
shifting consumer preferences are
also causing retail and computer
companies to cut jobs.
Further analysis of the job
gains also showed that much of
the fastest growth in hiring is
coming from low-paying indus-
tries like retail and hospitality.
The lack of high-paying job opportunities is reflected in wage
growth numbers. Since 2005, the
median weekly wage across all
jobs has increased by just $176.
Wage gains are even slower in
low-paying industries and for
workers with less education.
Economists suspect that slow
wage growth is contributing to
sluggish consumer spending and
slower economic growth. When
foreign demand drops, economic
growth depends more on domestic spending. However, there are
signs that growth may be picking
up; in April, wages grew 2.5%
from the previous year.
Will wages pick up enough
this year to drive more purchases
of big-ticket items? We’ll have to
see.
Looking ahead, it’s unclear
whether domestic economic data
will drive away global woes. Realistically, we’re likely to see both
soft and strong data in the weeks
to come that will hopefully push
stocks higher again once earnings
season is over.

Be a team player
The ability to communicate,
interact and work collectively
with others is both a professional and personal asset. But
in certain ways, the reliance on
technology has made working
as a team more complicated.
People have grown accustomed
to spending large quantities of
time alone working at computers or on phones and tablets,
potentially compromising their
ability to work directly with others when the need arises.
According to Monster.com,
when it comes to choosing a
candidate for a new job or promotion, employers consistently
say they want a team player.
That means it’s advantageous for
professionals looking to further
their careers to brush up on their
team-building and social skills.
So what does it mean to be
a team player exactly? The following are some traits of team
players.
• Meets deadlines: People
working together on a project
have their own unique responsibilities regarding such projects.
It’s important that the end result
is produced on time; otherwise,
the entire group pays the price.
Employees who care about their
teams consistently meet their
deadlines, making things easier
for their fellow team members
as a result.
• Adapts easily: Team players
are willing to adapt to change
and take others’ suggestions.
Professional flexibility and
openness to ideas are important traits, as you just may learn
something from team members
when you try things their way.
• Listens attentively: In order
for a team to function, every
member has to listen to what
his or her coworkers are saying.
This also includes being recep-
“
tive to criticism without lashing
out. Listening can sometimes be
more important than speaking.
• Communicates clearly:
Team players effectively communicate their thoughts and
ideas. This includes using language that is constructive, honest and respectful.
• Participates frequently: Even
when his or her own work is
done, a team player does not shy
away from taking on the tasks
of others to ensure a project is
completed on time. This also can
include offering tips or pointers.
• Happily shares the spotlight:
Never the glory hog, a team
player is content to stand in the
spotlight alongside coworkers.
Team players make sure everyone is involved and recognized
equally, and even take their
share of the blame when things
go awry.

Historically, producing a
signed bank signature card
containing the requisite statutory
language of §675 of the Banking
Law has been sufficient to create
the presumption (although rebuttable) that the survivor is entitled to the remaining account
proceeds upon the death of the
joint tenant. However, in recent
years when the bank signature
card cannot be obtained, the
courts, in determining whether
the account has survivorship
rights, look at other extrinsic
evidence in making said determination. For example, the bank
representative’s recollection of
advising the account holder that
the balance in the account would
be paid to the survivor upon
the death of the other account
holder and/or that the bank has
a policy that all joint accounts
are survivorship accounts, may
serve as extrinsic evidence that
the account was a joint account
with rights of survivorship.
The courts have also relied on
electronic signature cards having
the designation “J” as in “joint
account” as evidence in support
of the presumption under §675
of the Banking Law.
Additional factors the courts
have relied upon in support of
the presumption of survivorship
rights are:
(a) a joint holder making
withdrawals from the account
for his or her sole benefit;
(b) the decedent receiving
statements and cancelled checks
for the account; and
(c) absence of evidence that
the account holder was incapacitated or the victim of undue
influence and/or fraud at the
time the account was opened.
Obviously, having extrinsic
factual evidence that establishes the intent to create a
joint account with rights of
survivorship is of great value.
However, in my opinion, the
best assurance one can have is a
copy of the bank signature card,
from the time the account was
opened, containing the statutory
language. This is, in my opinion,
the best evidence for warding off
any challenges to the survivorship nature of the account upon
the death of a joint tenant.

Did You Know?
The home improvement market, which includes both improvements and maintenance,
has rebounded considerably from
its most recent low point in 2011.
The Joint Center for Housing
Studies ( JCHS) of Harvard University indicated in early 2015
that the upcoming year would
surpass the $324 billion spent on
improvements during the peak of
the housing boom a decade ago.
Even though homebuilding and
the home industry in general is
still not at complete recovery,
trends within the home improve-
ment industry do suggest that
homeowners have once again
become comfortable investing in
their homes.
