sonally know many professionals
living in Shenorock——nurses,
teachers, police o cers and jour-
nalists (including myself ). Many
families with young children
have also found in Shenorock an
a ordable place to make a home.

e newspaper’s inaccuracy is
point number one. Point num-
ber two, but no less important, is
that the description is elitist, as
if blue-collar workers aren’t the
“same” as people in more a u-
ent areas of Somers. e use of
the word “enclave” further gives
the impression that Shenorock
and Lincolndale are basically the
ghettos of Somers.

To make such class distinc-
tions in your newspaper does
your readers a disservice. And by
the way, even people who don’t
make a lot of money would like
to see the sewer project approved.
Some of us on septics are tired of
living in the dark ages.

In year’s past, Somers/
North Salem and York-
town/Brewster have competed as separate teams. Last
year, however, Somers/North Salem canceled its sea-
son due to low participation.
e Yorktown/Brewster team nished 8-13-1, in-
cluding a 4-1 victory as the No. 9 seed, in the opening
round of the Section 1 Division 1 Tournament. The Somers/North Salem team, coached by John Veteri, last competed in the 2017-18 season.

e roster is made up of seven players from North
Salem, three from Somers, 10 from Yorktown, and
eight from Brewster.
e Somers players are Jaden Rothschild, Carson
Brunco, and Brien Suchanek.
“We have a lot of variety, given all the schools com-

tending, and our team is very young, leaving a lot of
room to grow.”
Despite being a new experience, the coaches aren’t
tempering expectations.
“ e expectation among the coaches is to win a sec-

Ebersole Hockey Rink in White Plains, then play
Mahopac the following day at 9 a.m.
eir Dec. 1 matchup will depend on the results of
the rst two games.
A big key in getting o to a good start will be how
the players come together as a team, Bonitatibus said.
“It will just be a matter of time until they can gure
