My name is Debbie Kilmer and I am a Warrior. This title makes me proud.

I survived a rare and aggressive cancer called Cholangiocarcinoma, or bile duct
cancer. Cholangiocarcinoma was determined to shake me and break me five years
ago, but I laughed in its ugly face and now it’s time to celebrate this milestone and
raise some funds for Cholangiocarcinoma research. This rare and deadly cancer does
not get the research support it deserves and I would like to help to change that!

I have been planning this celebration/fundraiser for almost five years now. I wasn’t
sure, to be honest, if I would be here in five years, with the sobering statistics of this
awful cancer, but here I am, ready to celebrate and raise funds to find a cure for
Cholangiocarcinoma.

Thank you all for your love and support! I cannot wait to celebrate with you!

says he’s starting to feel his age. He
volunteers at WEC three days a
week, coming in at 9 a .m. and leav-
ing by 1 p.m.

“I’ve been threatening to leave, but
it’s enjoyable, keeps me out of trou-
ble,” Caralyus said. His wife of 58
years agrees.

“He enjoys it,” Dorothy said. “He
thoroughly enjoys it.”

Not many people would dedicate
so much of their life and their retire-
ment towards service, but Caralyus
says that’s how he was raised.

“I think I grew up in the Bronx
learning that you had to help people,”
he said, citing his 12 years of Catholic
education. And, Caralyus said North
Salem is an easy town to volunteer in.

“From the day we came here, we
enjoyed this town,” he said. “We were
accepted. We have a beautiful town. I
don’t think you can nd many places
nicer than North Salem.”

North Salem falls 53-31 to Put Valley

Put Valley’s 15-2 record slow their start. on defense

Tied 9-9 at the 4:05 mark, the Tigers looked as PHOTOS: RICH
though they might overcome the roster shortage MONETTI
when Christian Norberto found Anthony Foglia
cutting to the basket. But an onslaught was on the
way.

“ ey hit eight 3s in the rst half,” Steven Herlihy
said.

e rst triple came from Brandon Guerra, and
the 9-7 lead turned out to be the last advantage
Put Valley would surrender. Guerra also got them
out for good at 12-9, and the two 3s from Charles
Gatewood and Ivan Caposito mostly followed the
same double take. Put Valley worked the ball around
the perimeter, the chase would leave someone open,
and all North Salem could do was wait for the dagger.

e sting returned an18-9 rst-quarter lead and a
welcome comfort zone.

“ e game gets easier when you hit 3s early,” said
Put Valley’s Darnel Shillingford.

After some nice inside outside passing from Tim
Outhouse and Herlihy, Christian Norberto’s corner
3 was begging to upset Put Valley’s ow. But Guerra
struck again o the long rebound and regained Put
Valley’s 9-point lead at 21-12

Unfortunately, shooting touch wasn’t all North
Salem was up against. Foglia’s roll to the hoop was
circumvented by Austin Fabiano’s quick hands and
a pull-up jumper by Shillingford was among all the
defense that opened up a 33-16 lead.

“Put Valley is so athletic that they rush you and
take you out of your game,” said assistant coach
Chris Regan.

Regan was standing in for Coach Sassone who
was serving a self-imposed one game suspension for
violating a school eligibility athletic policy for one
of his players. Either way, North Salem did close
the half strong. Daniel McCormack swooped in on
an Austin Waldron miss and sunk two free throws
to get to 36-22. Opening the third, the carryover
seemed to have North Salem ready for a spark with
the return of Ryan. e junior got the outlet pass o
the rebound, charged for the rim and calmly made
two free throws to get within 12.

Unfortunately, the mini run only amounted to
a icker. e shots would just not fall, and North
Salem paid on the heels of Put Valley’s versatile game.
Inside layups by Guerra and TJ Brescia, expanded
the lead to 40-24 and left Regan unappreciative of
North Salem’s choices. Pick your poison, he said,
“ ey can play inside and outside.”

But the game did get dicey as Norberto went
ying on the foot trick. Norberto came up with
the steal, and on the way up court, wiped out on
Caposito’s trip. e Tiger guard made one of two on
the agrant, and Ryan’s short jumper gave a glimmer
again.

e light went out quick enough, though, and
once again, it was Guerra hitting the switch. An
open jumper from the corner extended the lead to
17, and stepping in for the steal, a fast break basket
closed the quarter.

A 46-27 defeat was just too much and had Regan
looking ahead to the sectionals.

“We should be in the middle of the pack, and
hopefully get a home game out of it,” he concluded.
“It will probably be a tough rst round game though.”

Chocolate treat for a Valentine sweet

Restaurant reservations, red roses and sparkling jewelry all are par for the course on Valentine’s Day. However, nothing may epitomize the holiday more than a
decadent chocolate treat. When heart-shaped chocolate boxes are not enough, resourceful gifters can turn to homemade desserts to really capture the spirit of Valentine’s Day.

is recipe for “Hot Cocoa Cookies,” courtesy of King Arthur’s Flour, marries the decadent taste of chocolate with the notion of a warm and soothing hot cocoa that’s ideal for a

this rich and tasty cookie.
