A 52-year-old village man is due in court tomorrow, accused of molesting a 3-year-old girl who was living in the same home, police said.
Ramon Avilla-Yanez was charged yesterday with first-degree criminal sexual act, a felony, for allegedly violating the girl on one occasion in October 2006. It wasn't until earlier this week that the mother of the girl, now 4, told the child's kindergarten teacher about it.
The teacher, as mandated, reported the incident, prompting a police investigation that resulted in the arrest, said Port Chester police Lt. James Ladeairous. Avilla-Yanez, who, along with the girl's family, is from Mexico, has been living with them in ...

Don't blame GPS for trucks on parkways
Tractor trailers have been going onto the river parkways of Westchester and Fairfield counties for many years now. I find it ridiculous to blame it on GPS units ("GPS devices: Blessing, curse or a bit of both," Jan. 4 article). For many years, there has been no police presence on the parkways. Recently I saw a long, full-size municipal garbage collection truck on the Saw Mill Parkway, and a full-size landscaper truck with a trailer full of filth-blowers on the Merritt. It is unsafe for these vehicles to be on the parkways; they cannot negotiate the tight turns. (Notice how short official highway trucks are?)
Also, by being overweight, they risk causing the bridges to fail. Remember the Hearst Street Bridge in north Yonkers? It was posted and restricted to passenger cars only, but bus drivers took it as a short cut to the bus lot until the wooden deck collapsed under the weight of a truck.
When a tractor driver sees gigantic pickups trailing mobile homes and utility bucket trucks go onto the ramp to a parkway, the logical conclusion is that, since these vehicles are not permitted on a parkway, they must be entering an interstate highway. And so he follows these huge trucks, thinking that they are permitted.
If police officers don't want the headache of closing down a parkway and an overpass, diverting traffic, waiting for a structural engineer, doing an accident investigation, etc., then they should stop all the non-permitted vehicles from going onto the parkways
