Tree law too onerous Where is this in Katonah-Lewisboro?

promoting conservation and preservation, which are
accomplished in the current Tree Law passed in 1976,
in recognition of “the inherent value and necessity of
preserving and protecting trees,” to quote your inten-
tion.

I also agree with this law’s intention that we need to
“balance the preservation and protection of trees against
the rights of individual homeowner and residents to
use, enjoy and protect their properties, while being free
of unduly burdensome government interference and
restrictions.”

However, this proposed law fails entirely to balance
the private property rights of our residents. Instead,
it places onerous obligations on us under the scam of
legislating “clear-cutting.” To quote Councilman Gon-
calves on Facebook, posted at 9:19 a.m. Monday, April
12, “cutting down a single tree is clear-cutting per the
de nition in the proposed code.”

In plain language, clear-cutting is to remove every
tree from an area. at’s what residents will understand
this law to mean. Equating the cutting down of a single
tree on a residential property with industrial clear-
cutting is simply deceitful.

Yes, we should have zoning to protect against indus-
trial clear-cutting, and we can promote planting new
trees, but when it comes to residential property owners,
as long as the cut tree does not trespass on another’s
property, it’s a private property owner’s right to do with
it as they see t.

Lewisboro Scouts clean graf

e Vista-Lewisboro Pack 101 Webelo Scouts painted over gra ti on the East Street bridge in Lewis-
boro as a community service project on Saturday, March 27.

“Our 10-year-old Webelo Cub Scouts showed what we can accomplish for our town if we just work
together,” said Cubmaster Bill Bongiorno. “I’m incredibly proud and amazed by our Scouts that they could
work together so well, with maturity, good nature and cheer to paint this entire bridge and railing in just
an hour.”

Bongiorno said this has been on the Scouts’to-do list for a couple of years, but was postponed by weather
and the coronavirus.

Adam Wiles, assistant Cubmaster, said, “We hope that everyone will respect the work that has gone into
the project to beautify our town and the area around the Browns Reservoir.”

Brandon Fountain, Webelo den leader and project manager, oversaw the work.
“ e Scouts took such pride in their work and accomplishment,” Fountain said. “We are so proud of
them and we hope everyone who passes over the bridge appreciates the e ort put forth by our scouts.”

e Scout leaders thanked Parks and Rec Superintendent Dana Mayclim, Highway Superintendent
Peter Ripperger, and Supervisor Peter Parsons for approving the project; Wallauer’s Paint and Design in
Cross River donating 6 gallons of paint; and Ring’s End in Vista for their support.

FOOTBALL John Jay routs Greeley, 44-14

Undefeated Wolves clinch spot in title game

BY RICH MONETTI
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

On Friday, April 23, John Jay will host Somers in the Section Nick Giardina unloads.
One title game. Grady Halaifonua
blocks for John Jay.
However, the April 16 leadup had the undefeated Wolves
traveling to Horace Greeley to match up against the winless Chris Shapiro gets
Quakers. A classic trap game, Coach Jimmy Clark wasn’t that outside.
surprised after Greeley’s Ry Wohl hit Zach Eichenberg for a
37-yard touchdown pass and left John Jay only leading 23-14. PHOTOS: RICH MONETTI

“It’s games like this that kind of catch you a bit,” Clark said.
“We were the favorites, and you get caught up in it.”

e coach certainly gave the Quakers credit for playing a
great game, but the ensuing kicko mostly settled matters for
John Jay in their 44-14 victory.

Chris DiChiara received the kicko and burst through the
mire for a 94-yard touchdown return.

“I felt we were the better team, and we were all a little frus-
trated,” DiChiara said. “So, I wanted to do something for the
team to take it back.”

Even so, the beginning of the game went according to plan.
On fourth down, the Quaker long snap traveled high, and John
Jay had the ball inside the ve-yard line. Two plays later, Chris-
tian Shapiro swept wide from the three, and John Jay led 7-0.

“I’m glad I was able to put my team in position to win and
couldn’t have done it without the o ensive line,” Shapiro said.

Horace Greeley wasn’t done with their punting problems,
though. On the subsequent three and out, the ball again trav-
eled high, and John Jay got their rst safety of the year with 6:43
left in the rst.

Seemingly on a roll, John Jay hit a snag. A high snap of their
own on the punt put Horace Greeley at the Wolves’ 23. Still,
the Quakers stalled. But on a third-and-20 from the 21, Wohl
hit Joseph Weiner over the middle for a touchdown and a 9-6
score at 3:45.

A degree of concern de nitely came across on the John Jay
side of the eld. Still, the Wolves didn’t deter for very long. A
run by Jon Connelly and a pass play to DiChiara set the visitors
at the 45, and in a ash, the momentum changed. Nick Giardina
hit DiChiara wide, and getting 55 of his 160 receiving yards,
John Jay led 16-6 with 2:13 left in the rst.

Giardina and DiChiara weren’t done yet either. Giardina,
who had 233 yards passing, caught DiChiara in stride down
the sideline, and John Jay led 23-6 on the 69-yard pass play with
11:41 remaining in the half.

But Greeley answered the bell, despite facing a fourth-and-12
at the John Jay 37. Wohl and Eichenberg connected on a deep
touchdown, and after a two-point conversion, it was a nine-
point game.

Of course, the home crowd didn’t get to celebrate f0r very
long. DiChiara took the aforementioned kicko and Clark rev-
eled in his sophomore’s moves.

“He’s pretty dynamic,” Clark said. “He can do a lot of di erent
things with his speed and athleticism.”

John Jay took the 30-14 lead into the locker room, and six
minutes into the second half, they were knocking again. A sus-
tained drive had John Jay at the eight, and Giardina found Nick
Savastano in the corner of the end zone. It was the junior’s rst
varsity touchdown.

“It’s such a surreal moment,” Savastano said. “You don’t even
know what’s happening until after you get back on the sideline.”

Connelly added another score, but the undefeated league title
isn’t all that mattered to Clark.

“Obviously, the victories are great,” Clark said. “But there’s a
process, and the process is more important than the destination.”

Although, the coach couldn’t deny that the end game is here,
and he knows what the Wolves are up against in the champion-
ship on Friday.

“Somers is a perennial power. ey’re very good,” Clark said.
“ ey got one of the best players in Jack Kaiser and have a solid
team, always. is year is no exception.”

more important, these hot stocks just may be wrong for the

investment mix that’s appropriate for your needs. Another toxic

investment strategy: trying to “time” the market by “buying low

and selling high.” No one can really predict when market highs

and lows will occur, and if you’re always jumping in and out of

the investment world, you’ll likely waste time and e ort – not to

mention money. Instead of looking for today’s hottest stocks or

guessing where the market is heading, try to create and follow a

long-term investment strategy based on your goals, risk toler-

ance and time horizon.

• Reduce waste. From an environmental standpoint, the less

waste and garbage we produce, the better it is for our planet. As

an investor, can you nd “wasteful” elements in your portfolio?

It’s possible that you own some investments that may be redun- WHY DO WE

o selling the investments and using the proceeds to purchase

• Recycle wisely. Recycling is a major part of the environmen-

tal movement. At rst, though, you might not think the concept

of recycling could apply to investing. But consider this: If you

own stocks or mutual funds, you may receive dividends, and, like

many people, you may choose to automatically reinvest those

dividends back into the stocks or funds. So, in a sense, you are NEWSPAPERS?

indeed “recycling” your dividend payments to boost your owner-

ship stakes – without expending additional resources. And, in

fact, this can be quite an e ective and e cient way to increase

your wealth over time.

• Plant some “trees.” Planting trees has always been a key

activity among boosters of the environment – with the recogni-

tion that their e orts will take years, or even decades, to reach

fruition. When you invest, you must sometimes start small. By

purchasing a limited amount of an investment and nurturing

it over the years by adding more shares, you may one day have

achieved signi cant growth. (Keep in mind,

though, that there are no guarantees – vari-

able investments such as stocks can lose

principal.)

By making these and other moves, you

can create a healthy investment environ-

ment – one that can help you achieve your

long-term goals.
