Cub Scouts
send handmade
valentines to vets
BY BOB DUMAS
EDITOR
Mahopac’s littlest Cub Scouts gathered at Mahopac Library on
Saturday (Feb, 1) for a project they hope will brighten Valentine’s
Day for military veterans and active soldiers.
As part of a program overseen by Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, the
young Scouts crafted their own Valentine cards and letters, which
they will send to the congressman, who, in turn, will send them to
the vets and the soldiers.
“ is is a good opportunity to help teach the Scouts how a kind
gesture can go a long way,” said Andrew MeKeel, Cub Scout Pack Members of Cub Scout Pack 371 work on their Valentines for Vets project at the Mahopac Library.
371 leader. “We are trying to show that what
they write here can impact someone else and
make them feel good. Sean Patrick Malo-
ney will receive these letters and distribute
them to various places like veterans’ homes
and hospitals like at Montrose and Castle
Point and even where they may be stationed
as well.
“ ey (Maloney’s sta ) have the means to
distribute them, which is great because we
are kind of doing it blindly,” Mekeel contin-
ued. “It gives [the Scouts] a good connection
and helps them grasp the concept of what
a veteran is because that can sometimes be
lost.”
e Scouts are mostly kindergarteners
(called the Lions Den), but others were in-
vited to join them.
“We brought in older brothers and sisters
to make it more inclusive,” MeKeel said.
It was the rst time Mahopac Scouts have
taken on the project, but this marks the sixth Six-year-old Kai Harrison works on his valentine. Samuel MeKeel, 6, comtemplates his creation. PHOTOS: BOB DUMAS

Becker among the decade’s best
Mahopac High School softball pitcher
Shannon Becker was honored Monday at
Mahopac for being the only active player
to be named to LoHud’s All-Decade soft-
ball team.
Becker, a junior, still has two seasons to
pitch for the Indians, and could make the
next decade team as well. Becker is already
a three-time All-Section selection, and a
two-time League 1A Pitcher of the Year,
with a 19-4 record last season to go with a
0.39 ERA. She received national attention
when she threw a perfect game and struck
out all 21 batters, a rst in New York State.
Shannon Becker (center) is surrounded by
