is is my last issue as editor of Yorktown News, so I wanted to
thank everyone who played along these last few years in my game
of “Where is this in Yorktown?” It was one my favorite things to do
every week. You’re a hard group to stump!

Only one person correctly guessed the photo from two weeks ago.
Nice job by Maebh Rooney, who knew that the picture was taken at
George Washington Elementary School — right on the town line in
Mohegan Lake!

I hope you had as much fun playing this game as I had putting it
together (nearly) every week.

Matt Slater agreed to step in as
judge, and recruited Councilman
Sergio Esposito to join him.

Judging started right after the
boat races at Lake Mohegan
Park, which captured the trophy
in 2020 and held it in 2021.

While the day was meant to
be a celebration of the lake, there
was a more serious aspect as
well. Lake Mohegan is plagued
by blue green algae blooms, fu-
eled by high levels of phosphorus
that have accumulated over the
past 100-plus years, and continue
to come into the lake through
stormwater runo and ground-
water. e Mohegan Lake Im-

Making the announcement at
Lake Mohegan Park, Harckham
was joined by MLID President
Ken Belfer, Supervisor Slater,
