and extravagant.” So when the time came in April to present it to her Somers

of her original podcast, “FashionYour Passion,” in front of 250 people.

“What I decided to do was a live podcast recording—it was all about how you Samantha Reyes

to her own litter.

e Wolf Conservation Center describes it as cross-fostering, which
is a coordinated event where captive-born pups are introduced into a
similar-aged wild litter to be raised by surrogate (basically substitute)
parents.

“Trumpet’s pup is part of the critical e ort to save her imperiled spe-
cies,” said Maggie Howell, executive director of the Wolf Conservation
Center. “At just two pounds, she’s a North American superhero! She’s
become a living, breathing part of the southwestern landscape, and her
story will help raise awareness for Mexican gray wolves and the active
e orts to save them.”

e Wolf Conservation Center is one of more than 50 institutions in
the U.S. and Mexico participating in the Mexican Wolf Species Sur-
vival Plan a bi-national initiative, the primary purpose of which is to
support the reestablishment of Mexican wolves in the wild through
captive breeding, public education, and research.

Sabet urged residents to let lawmakers know how they feel about
legalization.

“ ey need to hear from you, ‘cause they’re hearing from the pot
industry every day.”

Wanting to get ahead of the issue, much like it did with vaping,
Somers moved this spring to craft a local law banning retail sales, and
possibly the growing or processing of pot.

e state proposal at present only allows counties and cities of a
certain size to “opt out.”

Sabet said the “smart approach to marijuana” comes down to pre-
vention and intervention.

It reminded him of the need for speed limits.
While plenty of lead-footed drivers avoid getting into accidents,
trashing speed limits would be just as reckless as racing to legalize
pot, Sabet said.
“We need to pump the brakes. Talk to our legislators. Slow down
on this. Learn from the other states’bad decisions and not repeat their
mistakes.”

Senior star leaves big mark on program before heading to Manhattan

BY ROB DIANTONIO
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

How old were you when you started playing softball and how did you get started?
My dad introduced me to baseball around 3 years old. I remember throwing and hitting a little T-ball in my
backyard and in my basement, then soft pitch with Wi e balls. I actually started out playing on the Somers boys

baseball team when I was about 6. I then transitioned to softball at 7 and have been playing town, then travel,
tournament and eventually showcase softball since.

How did you feel overall about the season?
Coming o of last season, I had very high expectations for the 2019 season. We are a much better team
than 10-10. I thought we would go deeper into the Sectionals than we have in the past years especially with
our seven strong, talented seniors. Somers may not see this incredibly talented crop of seniors again for
many years in softball. Not to mention two very solid pitchers and really good talent in our underclassmen.
Unfortunately, on a personal note, midway through the season I injured my ankle with a severe sprain and bone
bruise. is caused me to miss six games, but with the help of physical therapy, I managed to make it back in
time for our senior game, and the last ve or six games, to help the team.

As a senior captain on the team, how much did you value being a leader?
I’ve been a captain for three years and feel honored that I was chosen. Being selected as a sophomore
forced me to mature and step up. is role has taught me a lot about being a leader. I love giving the girls
advice about what I’ve learned throughout my four years on varsity and highly competitive tournament ball.
My favorite part about being a captain is bringing high, positive energy to practices and games. Also,

practicing like I play in a game and always respecting the game.

What is your favorite team activity, pregame or postgame ritual that you shared with your
teammates?

I love listening to music with my team during pregame warm-ups because it really pumps us up
and gets us excited for the game. We were lucky to have Mr. Recine be our MC announcer for all of
our home games this year. It totally changes the atmosphere at Primrose.

Who has been your biggest role model over the years and what have you learned from them?
My parents have always been my biggest role models. My dad, especially, has taught me so
much about life and softball. He’s demonstrated to me what hard work truly means and that
your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure. Also, that failure is part of the
process, one will fail but learn from your mistakes.

Tell us one thing about yourself that not a lot of people know?
I played competitive travel soccer for about six years on FC Somers Soccer.
