“It was a process, but we knew we wanted the community to decorate and
write messages of hope,and we wanted to ll the streets with them,”said Casey
Carter, Chamber of Commerce vice president and owner of Bijou of Katonah.

roughout the pandemic,Carter said he noticed rst-hand how supportive
the Katonah community was towards its local businesses. “ ey wanted to see
how we survived through this whole thing and made sure we survived through
this whole thing.”

Katonah’s popular annual events,such as the Fireman’s parade and town car-
nival, have not returned yet due to the pandemic.

“It’s lling in a hole where we’ve been missing those gatherings,” said Me-
lissa Dilmaghani, Chamber of Commerce board member and owner of Old
New House. “It’s a night to re ect on what happened, but also say goodbye to
it and look forward.”

Zack Geller, resident and student in the Katonah-Lewisboro School Dis-
trict, played the cello to set the mood of the gathering before actor and resi-
dent, John Bedford Lloyd, gave a 15-minute speech that told the stories and
experiences of essential worker residents who were thrust into uncertainty, but
persevered to keep society running.

“Hundreds of times over the last 15 months,I have heard the words,and I’m
sure you have too,‘ ere is a light at the end of the tunnel,’”Lloyd said.“Look
around, here we are. And all these candles are just that.”

As the sun set and the luminaries began to glow,Lloyd wrapped up the night
by focusing on the ways the pandemic experience has changed the viewpoints
of many people.

“We were forced to just stop and see things in ourselves, in nature, in each
other, in our families, that we might never have seen without this terrible time.
It made us know each other in ways that we could only have imagined,”Lloyd
said. “Let’s try to hold in our hearts the good things we found these last 15
months.”

Marcos Arbogast gets the start.
Jackson Pizer swings away. JohnBASEBALL Jay falls to
top-seeded Yorktown

BY RICH MONETTI
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

After yet another come-from-behind victory in the rst round of the sectionals ver-
sus Lakeland, John Jay found themselves in a very unfamiliar place against rst-seeded
Yorktown. e Wolves took a 4-0 second-inning lead. But this time, the comeback was
on the other foot, and unable to hold on, the boys su ered a 12-5 defeat to end their
season.

John Jay came right out of the gate, forgetting their eighth-seeded place. Miles Capo-
bianco and Jackson Pizer lashed consecutive singles, and after Alex Samayoa dribbled a
grounder to third, the Wolves had runners on second and third.

However, Yorktown had an ace up their sleeves. Kevin Weitman brought a 7-0 record
into the postseason and was able to retire Daniel Gonzalez and Lucas Orlovitz without
any damage.

e Wolves kept their heads up nonetheless, and starter Marcos Arbogast followed
suit in the bottom of the inning. So, the o ense picked up where it left o —despite
Scott Esposito’s lead-o strikeout. He reached rst on a passed ball, and following Mi-
chael Russo’s walk, Chris Civetta doubled home two.

CJ Polworth’s grounder to short brought home a third run when Brett Warden over-
threw rst, and the Wolves were howling. Capobianco’s single then put runners on
the corners, and Pizer’s ground out had Yorktown on their heels at 4-0. But Weitman
again rose to the occasion and got Samayoa and Gonzalez to y out to keep the score
contained.

Taking their pitcher’s cue, the rst seed punched back. e Huskers put up a three
spot in the bottom of the inning, and it was a game again at 4-3. e blow didn’t take
away John Jay’s jab, though,

Lucas Orlovitz led o the top of the third with a single, and after two groundouts
moved the runner to third, Civetta smacked another double to extend the lead to 5-3.

However, Weitman again limited the damage, and Yorktown answered the bell this
time with a knockout blow. ey exploded for eight runs in the bottom of the inning,
and another comeback was not to be.

Still, Coach Geo Curtis held his head high afterward.
“ e (9-11) record that we’ve had, if that’s all you knew of us, I think that’s an inade-
quate description. We’ve got walk-o wins. ey’ve come from behind. ey’ve laughed
a lot. ey have made their coaches proud. ey have made their families proud, it was
an absolute joy,” Curtis said.
Curtis concluded, “If it was fun to watch; it was even more fun to coach,” he asserted.
But all the ght and perseverance have value beyond the eld and provides a blueprint
that CJ Polworth will take to Syracuse and beyond.
“We came in every single day looking to play hard, work hard and you have to attack
every day like that,” Polworth said, providing the capper for his team and community.
