In June 1996, 25 years ago,
Country Willow opened its doors. 12-MONTH
Since then, it has grown as a store, FINANCING**
as well as a beloved and trusted
Westchester small business.

Country Willow started out as a small store in Katonah
selling home accents and quality farm tables using reclaimed
wood. Cori and Roy Estrow’s vision was to create a
welcoming space that offered beautiful, well-made furniture.
After 10 years as a small store in Katonah, they expanded
to a large space in Bedford Hills, growing to over 20,000
square feet, increasing the selections by adding transitional
and contemporary styles, as well as an extensive array
of kids and baby furniture and performance bedding. In
2015, the company became employee-owned. Today, while
maintaining the store’s original commitment to quality, the
collection has expanded again to reflect the changing local
population, adding a new gallery called “The Loft at CW,”
featuring Industrial Loft, Urban Modern and Nordic styles.

BY RICH MONETTI Kyla Whalen plays small ball.
CONTRIBUTING WRITER Lindsay Neumann at short

John Jay nished their season with a 7-2 home victory Ashley Buatte on the mound
over Byram Hills on Wednesday, June 2, and the 11-6
record resulted in a Section 1 Conference I & II Central PHOTOS: RICH MONETTI
League A championship. e Wolves also earned the No. 6
seed in the Section 1 tournament, and a home game versus
11th seeded Brewster on Saturday, June 5. e
girls did not disappoint and came away with a
9-0 victory.

e Wolves dug in right o the bat, and
Lindsay Neumann got things started in the

rst with a leado double. Eva Falino then
walked, and Ashley Buatte tripled in the rst
two runs.

Buatte didn’t let Brewster answer back in the
second, and Neumann again was in the middle
of things in the bottom of the second. After
Kyla Whalen walked, Neumann singled, and
Ava Kersh’s bunt brought home the run.

Up 3-0, Buatte blanked Brewster over the
next two innings, and the fth inning had John
Jay blow the game open. Four walks issued to
give the Wolves a 5-0 lead, Neumann saw no
reason to follow suit and jumped on the rst
pitch. Being aggressive, said the shortstop, “I’m
just trying to make something happen.”

A bases-clearing double gave John Jay an 8-0
lead, and Neumann removed any doubt in the
bottom of the inning. With a runner on rst,
she made a leaping snare in the hole and red
onto rst for the double play.

Neumann’s defense didn’t get past Coach
Steve DelMoro either, and the same goes for
the rest of the team. “I think the biggest thing
is our defense has been outstanding, and it starts with the
pitching,” the coach said.

e girls were scheduled to play Saunders on Monday
( June 7, after this paper went to print), and DelMoro is
keeping it simple. “Our motto is one game at a time, and
we’re looking forward to it,” he said.
