Somers spent $847,000 in state

funds for Lake Shenorock’s storm-

get grants for a similar project in

Lake Lincolndale.

In 1998, the city’s Department

of Environmental Protection set

aside $70 million to protect the

watershed. at pot has been whit-

tled down to $30 million.

Of that, $10 million is set aside

for Somers, but only for sewers.

e town, seeking an additional $3

million in grants for Phase 1 of the

project, is fearful that if it doesn’t

show signi cant progress on ad-

dressing the water quality situation,

Just a few minutes into their game against rival Yorktown, the
Somers Tuskers found themselves in a hole.

But Somers went on a scoring spree, erupting for ve unanswered
goals to pull o a 5-1 win over the visiting Huskers on Oct. 3.

Sophomore Bennett Leitner, who had a team-high 2 goals and 2
assists, used his blazing speed to run down a pass and tie the game up
in the 25th minute. Derek Marques gave Somers the lead just a few
minutes later.

“We went down 1-0 early but we never thought it was over for a
second,” Leitner said. “We knew that we just had to be patient and
our chances were going to come. We just kept pushing and kept
working and they came just like we expected. We’re really happy with
the result of that game.”

Diego Giron and Daniel D’Ippolito added a goal each for Somers.
