e Town Board voted unanimously ursday to establish Somers
Sanitary Sewer District No. 2, contingent upon the state’s approval of
its plan for Lake Shenorock and Lake Lincolndale and the outcome of
a possible public vote.

If other things fall into place, such as the town’s gaining access to
Westchester County’s sewage treatment plant in Peekskill, the design
phase of the multi-million dollar project could get under way next
year, with construction on Phase 1 wrapping up in late 2021.

Consultants said at the Sept. 12 public hearing that the political
cloud hovering over the project appears to have lifted.

With County Executive George Latimer on board, Somers has
high hopes that Westchester legislators will vote early next year to
allow it to send wastewater to Peekskill.

e two hamlets are located within the Croton Watershed of the New
York City Department of Environmental Protection reservoir system.

Forward movement is key to Somers’tapping $10 million in DEP qual-
ity improvement funds. It is chasing another $3 million in state grants.

Besides improving water quality, the project aims to improve recre-

ational opportunities at both lakes.

shed. at pot has been whittled down to $30 million. If Somers
doesn’t show progress, other communities might call dibs on its piece
of the pie.

Phase 1 would cost between $10 million and $13 million and in-
volve 88 properties in Lake Shenorock and 45 in Lake Lincolndale.
Phase 2 is expected to cost $28 million to $30 million; Phase 3, $21

Scouts summit Baldy Mountain

Boy Scouts from Somers Troop 376, along with their unique history of ancient Native Americans, Spanish con-
adult advisors, Rich Cassin, Andy Cheung (Troop Scout- quistadors, mountain men, land barons, miners, loggers and
master), Jimmy Smith, and Gary Rivera, recently completed cowboys.
a 90-mile backpacking expedition through the
rugged, high-altitude New Mexico backcountry.

e seven boys and four adults experienced
an adventure of a lifetime over 12 days on the
trail. Highlights included wildlife encounters
(deer, cattle, rattlesnakes, and bears); unmarked
trail navigation in the Valle Vidal (part of Car-
son National Forest), hail/lightning/thunder
storms, muzzle-loader ri e and cowboy action
(pistol, ri e, shotgun) shooting; burro packing,
and summitting Baldy Mountain (12,441 feet).

e Scouts trip took place on the Philmont
Scout Ranch, which is the Boy Scouts of Amer-
ica’s largest high-adventure base. e property
covers 137,000 acres, about 214 square miles, of
rugged mountain wilderness in the Sangre de
Christo (Blood of Christ) range of the Rocky
Mountains in northern New Mexico. Philm-
ont Scout Ranch operates dozens of sta ed
and trail camps. Philmont has high mountains
with rough terrain and elevations that range
from 6.500 to 12,441 feet. e property has a

Sept. 19. Weudling

Lafavi celebrated with her friends and daughter Joan
over pizza and cake.

For her birthday, Lafavi plans to “take the day the
way it comes,” and it’s that attitdue that she says is her
secret to a long, healthy life.

“Don’t let anything bother you,make the best of things
and love everybody,” Lafavi said. “I don’t complain, I’m
thankful for everything and I have no regrets.”

Lafavi is a mother of two, a grandmother to six and a
great-grandmother to nine.

“I love all of them, they’re all precious to me,” Lafavi
said of her family.

Getting to spend the day surrounded by those she
loves was the perfect present.

“ ey all love me, they’re all nice to me,” Lafavi
said. “I’m very happy to be with all my friends and my
daughter.”
