Rye Town supervisor defends town accountant, attorney picks
Journal News

RYE TOWN - A local Democratic leader threw a jab at Supervisor Joseph Carvin last week, charging the newly elected Republican went back on his word in his first week in office.

"His big promise (in the campaign) was not to give out these no-bid professional service contracts," said Gary Stracuzzi, Port Chester's Democratic Party chair. "This is the fastest I've seen someone break a major campaign promise."

In his first meeting as town supervisor on Jan. 8, Carvin awarded no-bid hires to Sam Terenzi as the town's new accountant and Paul Noto as soon-to-be town attorney. Stracuzzi said the decision contradicted Carvin's campaign last fall, where he repeatedly blasted the past administration's use of no-bid contracts - critiques echoed by a New York State Comptroller's report on the town.....

....Noto is a partner at Strategic Political Consulting, a firm that spearheaded Carvin's campaign. Carvin said Noto's campaign work was "not determinate in any way of my decision-making process."....

...."It wasn't fair that every failing was blamed on Mr. Terenzi," he added. "I'm thrilled he has the opportunity to clear his reputation.".....

Cops: Fleeing shoplifter knocks over school kids
Journal News
PORT CHESTER - A shoplifter knocked over several children after he fled from a Kohl's department store Friday and ran through the playground of a nearby grammar school, police said.



Anthony Correa, 41, of 84 Glen Ave. in Port Chester was eventually tackled by police in the John F. Kennedy school gymnasium and charged with a litany of crimes, police Lt. James Ladeairous said.



Police said Correa entered the Kohl's at 431 Boston Post Road shortly before 3 p.m. and tried to leave with about $1,700 worth of DVD players, coats and shirts. When a security guard chased him, he dropped the stolen goods in the parking lot and ran.



Police said they caught up with him at a Bally's fitness center, but he escaped by hopping a fence. He then ran to the school on Olivia Street a few blocks away.



"He ran through the playground while bumping into and knocking children over," Ladeairous said. "Then he ran into the school's gym where he was apprehended by an officer who tackled him."....

Kings cake rules on holiday

PORT CHESTER, N.Y. - At a Mexican pastry shop here Friday, the wreath-shaped cakes baked with Jesus figurines inside were fit for a king - three kings to be exact.

Rosca de Reyes, or three kings cake, is served on El Dia de los Reyes, or the Day of the Kings.

Every year at about this time, Hispanic Catholics around the world celebrate this holiday, which is rooted in the biblical story of the three kings who followed the star of Bethlehem to take gifts to baby Jesus.

In Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries where Santa Claus isn't acknowledged, children receive Christmas gifts from los reyes magos, or the wise men. They drop off gifts on the night of Jan. 5 and they are opened the next day. Read more
