selected by the IAC for 2019 was Putnam Recreation
Programs and Habilitation (PRPH), a not-for-pro t
organization dedicated to providing high-quality
recreational opportunities for children and adults
with special needs who reside in Putnam County.

Dr. Michael Nesheiwat, Putnam County
commissioner of health, and Kevin Heinzinger,
a member of PRPH, were recognized as special
honorees. James Sullivan, director of PRPH,
accepted a $3,000 check from the Italian American
Club and an anonymous donor represented by an
IAC member, Nicole Cristoforo, donated another
$5,000 to the charity. A spontaneous donation
bucket, started by member Anthony Scannapieco,
additionally yielded $414. ese donations will be
used to subsidize and o set costs of recreational
activities and create additional activities for the
“uniquely abled” participants.

Miss Columbus, Gina Cambareri, and Little
Miss Columbus, Marina Magriz, were crowned and
received sashes. Fred Magriz was named the rst
Master Columbus.

Mahopac girls soccer came back to shut

down Roy C. Ketcham, 3-0, on the road

(Sept. 26), and traveled to Scarsdale on

Saturday (Sept. 28), when they managed to

hold on for a 3-2 win.

Saturday at Scarsdale, Mahopac (7-2,

2-1) put two rst-half goals in the net—

Mia Klammer scored both (assists from

Olivia Conlin and Jenna Daly)—and then

the Indians took their foot o the gas.

e result was two Scarsdale goals that

tied the game in the second half.

Mahopac managed to regroup, and

picked up the game-winner in the 72nd

minute, when Grace DiVincenzo nished

a pass from Klammer. Alexa Rispoli brings a ball up the wing
