I am proud of this Budget, this is what honest and fair governing is, that is who we are as an administration.”

Open Door’s Give a Toy and Share the Joy ushers in 35th year

Open Door Family Medical Center celebrates its 35th Give a Toy and Share the Joy annual holiday toy drive this season.

The health care center today distributes over 3,500 new toys, valued at $20 per toy, during the holiday season to young patients at its six medical centers. The drive is sustained entirely by donations from the community.

“We encourage local companies, individuals, families, and schools to support the campaign by sponsoring toy drives or making donations through mid-December,” said Jane Levy, senior manager of volunteer programs at Open Door. “In addition to new toys, we provide our families with holiday gift bundles that include books, pajamas and stocking stuffers. It truly brightens the holiday season for these youngsters and their families.”

The annual tradition began in 1987 with a local family collecting 100 toys at their holiday party to distribute to Open Door patients in Ossining. Today, Open Door patients register for a time to pick up their holiday bags on a designated day in December at its sites in Ossining, Port Chester, Sleepy Hollow, Mount Kisco, Mamaroneck and Brewster.

For this year’s drive, volunteers are needed to sort and distribute toys. For additional information on supporting the drive, contact jlevy@odfmc.org or call 502-1468.

Simple Steps for a happy, heart-healthy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is about enjoying time with family and celebrating with traditional foods we know and love. While many classic holiday dishes are high in fat and calories, making a few simple swaps in your Thanksgiving dinner and dessert recipes can make the meal much healthier for your heart.

“Using smart substitutions in your holiday baking and cooking can have a positive impact on keeping your health in check over Thanksgiving,” said Dr. Gary Gabelman, a cardiologist at White Plains Hospital.

These simple tricks make your favorite holiday recipes better for heart health.

Baking:

• Use cinnamon-flavored, no-sugar added applesauce instead of butter.

• Use a lower-calorie sugar substitute.

• Choose low-fat or skim milk instead of whole milk.

• Swap out half of your white flour for whole-wheat flour.

• Swap chocolate chips or candies for dried fruit, like cranberries or cherries.

• Add flavor with extracts like va-

nilla, almond and peppermint instead of sugar or butter.

Cooking:

• Instead of butter, try vegetable oils, such as olive oil – even in your mashed potatoes!

• Flavor dishes with herbs and spices, like rosemary and cloves, instead of butter or salt.

• Use whole-grain breads and pastas.

• Bake, grill or steam your vegetables instead of frying.

• Use low-fat or skim milk instead of whole milk or heavy cream.

“Now that you’ve prepared some of your Thanksgiving meal with healthy substitutes, prepare yourself a balanced plate – starting with a salad and vegetables,” said Gabelman. “Eating vegetables will ensure you get the nutrients you need and will help fill you up so you don’t overload on other, less healthy foods, such as rolls, stuffing and pie.”

The American Heart Association advises increasing physical activity over Thanksgiving and throughout the holiday season to combat the extra calories and stress. Play catch with your kids, walk your dog, or carve out 40 minutes in your sched-

Waterfront Rye property sells for $5.7M

After only four days on the market and multiple offers, a home situated on 2.64 acres adjacent to scenic Kirby Mill Pond in Rye has sold for $5.7 million—approximately $1.37 million over asking price. The seller was represented by Peter Topping, a premier agent with Coldwell Banker Global Luxury.

Topping said that the desirability of the location and competitive pricing were important factors in the sale. This large parcel sits on a sheltered inlet on Kirby Mill Pond, which connects to Long Island Sound. Every offer was cash and above $5 million. The property had been listed at $4.3 million.

“A feeling of tranquility captivates you upon entering this beautiful property,” Topping said. “The privacy in its wooded, natural landscape reflects the ambiance of an island experience with water on two sides, with nearly 2.7 acres of nature providing a place for retreat, reflection, play and home.”

Kirby Mill Pond is a 26-acre salt water tidal pond ideal for small boats, kayaks and paddle boards. It is rare to find a home there with this much property, including 1.3 acres of water

rights, said Topping.

Topping went the extra mile for his seller, Margaret Smith, who for the past 36 years had enjoyed many fond memories at the home with her late husband, Ian. When he first arrived to view the property, Topping—a great lover of classic sports cars—immediately noticed the pair of Porsche 911s in the garage, models produced in 1991 and 2005, and both with low mileage. Upon learning that Smith wished to sell the cars, Topping, as a complimentary service, facilitated the sale for her via a third-party automobile broker. Additionally, Topping assisted Smith in closing some open work permits on the property so the transaction could proceed without a hitch.

Topping also utilized his vast referral network in this sale, connecting with Smith via Bonnie Chajet of Coldwell Banker Warburg in New York City. Topping is affiliated with the Coldwell Banker Realty office in Rye which, being the company’s most southeast office in Westchester County, enjoys an excellent working relationship with its Manhattan counterparts.

The property listed at 281 Kirby Lane in Rye recently sold for $5.7 million – more than $1 million over asking price.

A time of transition

outdoor component of the coverage; the feeling is more narrative-based in nature.

Holiday music may have been pumping through store speakers for the last three weeks, car commercials have been hyping up “Seasonal Savings Blowouts” since mid-Oc tober, and there’s a noticeable chill in the air.

But nothing tells me that it’s winter time quite like a noticeable lack of fall sports teams left on my coverage schedule.

This week, I’ve got just one more fall sports athletic team left in the hunt for a New York State title, as the Tuckahoe football team heads up to Arlington to take on Section 9 Moriah on Friday night. And it’s always a weird few weeks as I do my best to balance my remaining football coverage with the start of winter sports.

It almost feels as though I’m stuck between two worlds, and that’s not because of the indoor/

For winter teams, these next few weeks are times of hope, of renewal and, for many, uncertainty. High school sports teams head into every new season with enthusiasm, sure, but also with a certain amount of anxiety. There are so many questions to answer in the preseason, none of which can be answered until games start to count.

How will a team replace its graduated seniors? Who will step up as a game-time leader? Will this team meet, exceed, or fall short of the expectations placed on it by coaches, players and fans a like?

It’s a lot to grapple with, for sure.

But while those teams still alive in pursuit of a state title might have answered the majority of questions they had about themselves in the beginning of the year, one big new one emerges; do we have what it takes to go all the way?

And that palpable energy, that tease of the unknown, that’s what

makes sports so fascinating. It’s not just about what team is the biggest, fastest or strongest—although that does help. It’s about how teams answer these questions, both on the field and in the preparation leading up to those games. So I’m looking forward to this

next stretch, as long as it may last. The first games of the winter season begin in late November, and while Tuckahoe’s football team has designs on a trip to Syracuse, they’re only guaranteed one more game on Friday. Will one story continue to be

written as the others begin to find a thread of plot? We’ll see over the next few weeks, and it will be an interesting ride, for sure.

Garnets fall to Tuskers in finals

•

• Rye scored on its first play

•

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor

In the end, Rye wasn’t ready; at least not this year.

On Friday, Nov. 11, the Garnets took on undefeated Somers for the Class A title at Mahopac High School, hoping for some measure of revenge against a Tusk ers team that topped them twice in the postseason last season—once in the Section 1 championship game, and once again in the New York State semifinals. But despite keeping things close against the explosive Tuskers early on, topping Somers would eventually prove to be tootall a task as Rye fell 45-13.

Things started out promisingly enough for the Garnets who connected for a touchdown on their first play from scrimmage, as AJ Miller threw a tipped pass that ended up in the arms of Rafferty McSweeney, who went for an 80-yard score.

But the Tuskers’ methodi

cal ground game—and ability to stretch the field—ended up proving the difference maker, as Luke Savino rushed for 227 yards and four touch downs en route to a one-sid ed win.

Miller, who helped guide the Garnets to a 9-2 record this year, said that Rye sim ply wasn’t up to snuff against a Tuskers team that has its eye on a state title this fall.

Last year, Somers came within one play of winning in Syracuse and Miller said the team has played with an uncanny intensity all year.

“Somers is a really good football team and they’re looking at this season like a revenge tour,” he said. “In order to beat them, you have to bring your best and we just didn’t have it today.”

That the Garnets were

even in a position to vie for a Section I crown was an accomplishment in itself, however. Rye came into the season after graduating the bulk of its starters from last year’s Section 1 finalist team, and had to rebuild on the fly in order to compete in a stacked Class A land scape. Prior to Friday’s loss to Somers, Rye’s only other blemish came against Harri

son—who Somers beat 39-7 in the sectional semifinals last week.

“We’re a really young team, but we’re still Rye High School and every year we’re one of the best teams in the section,” said Miller. “We knew that we were going to be here, we wanted a chance to beat them; hats off to Somers, but we’ll be back.”

Somers will advance to the Class A regional finals next week when they take on former Section 1 school Our Lady of Lourdes. Lourdes— who moved to Section 9 this year—topped Cornwall for their section crown in a defensive 8-7 struggle on Friday morning.
