September 18 & 25, 2015 The ciTy review 3

By chriS eBerhArTStaff Writer

Polls closed at 9 p.m. on Sept. 10.

By 9:10 p.m., Liz Frieds camp said they were confident they won the New Rochelle Demo-cratic primary for the District 6 seat on the City Council against incumbent Councilwoman Shari Rackman.

Fried, 62, ultimately won by a 67-percent margin, with an unof-ficial vote tally of 489 to 239 hav-ing captured 14 of the 16 voting districts.

In her victory speech at NoMa Social, Fried congratulated her opponent on a spirited cam-paign but told the Review its just a start.

Fried wins primary; Rackman not doneWinning tonight is different

from winning a tennis match, said Fried, whos an avid tennis player. I dont feel like I won. I feel like its a start. But Im ex-cited to do this job. To have an op-portunity to work with the other council members is really what I did all this for.

But the race for the seat isnt over.

Rackman, 51, told the Review following the primary that she will run on the Reform Party bal-lot line in the general election against Fried.

I feel I served my district well over the last four years, and many of my constituents have asked me to run, and I will do just that, Rackman said. Theres still work left to be done, and I intend to be on the council to do it.

The Reform Party ballot line was originally the Stop Common Core line, which Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino, a Republican, ran on during his failed bid for governor last year. Astorino renamed the line the Re-form Party earlier this year.

According to Westchester

County voter registration num-bers, there are no registered Re-form Party voters in all of West-chester, which isnt surprising considering its a new-born ballot line.

In New Rochelle, Demo-crats outnumber Republicans in District 6 by a nearly 2 to 1 ratio, 4,205 Democrats to 2,252 Republicans. Of those 4,205 Democratic voters, 728 voted in the primary, with Fried taking a convincing two-thirds of the to-tal votes cast.

But if the primary results carry over to the general election in November and Rackman gar-ners one-third of the Democratic vote combined with the Republi-can vote, which she is expected to carry because of her opposition to the citys Democratic Mayor Noam Bramson, it will enable her to close the gap that was ex-posed in the primary between the two candidates. Then such a race could hinge on which candidate is able to wrestle votes from the dis-tricts large pool of non-affiliated voters, 2,160.

manager, doesnt seem worried. The results of the Democratic

primary were a resounding en-dorsement for Liz Frieds posi-tive, results-oriented style, Caro said. That pragmatic approach will go over just as well with members of other political parties as it did with Democrats.

As of Sept. 16, city Repub-licans did not have a candidate for District 6; instead opting to use an opportunity to ballot, which allows registered Re-publican voters in District 6 to write in the name of the candi-date of their choice, for the Re-publican primary. If Rackman received enough write-in votes from Republicans, she could, in theory, be offered the Repub-lican line. The opportunity to ballot results wont be known until Sept. 24, after press time, at the earliest.

Rackman said there has been no communication between her and the citys Republican Party but she didnt rule out accepting any other party lines nomination saying, If and when other oppor-tunities arise, I will decide what Im going to do then.

Westchester honors 9/11 victims at twilight ceremony

In a solemn ceremony last Friday night, Westchester Coun-ty paid tribute to those who died in the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001, including 111 Westches-ter residents and 12 former resi-dents. County Executive Rob Astorino presided over the 14th anniversary ceremony that took place at The Rising, the countys 9/11 memorial at Kensico Dam Plaza in Valhalla. An estimated

500 family members and resi-dents attended the ceremony.

Elie Wiesel, the writer, No-bel Laureate, and Holocaust sur-vivor, said, The opposite of love is not hate, its indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, its indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, its indiffer-ence. The opposite of life is not death, its indifference, Astori-no said as he began his remarks

to attendees. Our presence here today is a statement that we are not indifferent.

But simply remembering is not the opposite of indifference. Remembering is just the start on our never ending journey to building a better future. Coming together tonight is a lesson on what it means to be a human be-ing....Humanitys selfless spirit is with us tonight. (Submitted)

In her at-home work space, Helen Rafferty casually clacked away at her laptop keyboard. Humbly settled in an elongated sofa, she was surrounded by stacks of books. Outside of the typing and the occasional hum of air conditioning, her Propsect Avenue home was mostly quiet.

It was calm for the time being, but Rafferty, 52, is always await-ing another task to complete for the organization she has been involved with since its creation in 2002.

As managing director of Proj-ect Rebirtha small nonprofit with headquarters inside Pace University in New York City that works to rehabilitate people after traumatic experiences like 9/11Rafferty said shes in charge of numerous unassigned tasks that get passed down.

Basically if theres a job to do and we cant find some-body to do it, Rafferty said in a soft, relaxed tone, it tends to fall on my lap.

For what she dubs the Ma-maroneck outpost of Project Rebirth, Rafferty works on any-thing from fundraising to writ-ing press materials like newslet-ters and brochures.

While the nonprofit is mostly known for Rebirtha docu-mentary that follows the lives of five victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the recovery pro-cess of both the humans and the siteRafferty said the organiza-tion has evolved past its origin.

According to Rafferty, the idea for the nonprofit orga-nization first bloomed when filmmaker Jim Whitaker visit-ed Ground Zero a month after 9/11 while he was in New York for a wedding.

[Whitaker]was first dev-astated by what he saw, Raf-ferty said. But then the more time he spent just standing there looking at the site, the more he started to realize that people were already working to clean it up.

Whitaker, a producer with Hollywood titles under his belt, had the idea to document the construction of what is now One World Trade Center through time-lapse photography. Raf-ferty said that Whitaker set up cameras in places with views of Ground Zero, like the 21-story

American Express building a few blocks away, the graveyard at St. Pauls Church on Broad-way, and even across the Hud-son River in New Jersey.

While Whitaker snapped photos of Ground Zero once every five minutes with 14 cameras for eight years, Project Rebirth wanted to incorporate the recovery and rehabilitation process of five impacted people alongside the process of the sites physical reconstruction.

For nearly 10 years, Whita-ker and the Project Rebirth team followed the lives of five people: Nicholas Chirls, a teen-ager who lost his mother who worked near Ground Zero; Tim Brown, a firefighter who lost colleagues in the line of duty; Tanya Villanueva Tepper, a woman who lost her firefighter fianc; Ling Young, a woman who survived the impact of the attacks; and Brian Lyons, a construction worker who an-swered the call to help.

Rafferty said the documen-tation of the five lives was a unique look into how humans cope with tragedy and learn to recover.

In early interviews, shes devastated, physically you can see it, you can hear it in her voice, Rafferty said of Tepper,

who lost her fianc on 9/11. She talks about how bad she feels when she gets an invita-tion to someones wedding. As the film goes on, we go to her wedding in Hawaii and were in the delivery room when her children are born.

The managing director said that halfway through the de-cade-long filming process, the Rebirth team showed the raw footage to academics at Colum-bia and Georgetown universi-ties who said there was nothing else like it.

Over time, it developed into the longest and the most com-plete video record of human be-ings going through the process of recovery from grief and trau-ma, Rafferty said, adding that this realization spawned grand ambitions to push the nonprofit into being more than just a one-trick pony organization.

When the film was complet-ed then premiered at Sundance [Film Festival] in January of 2011, that was, in many ways, the start of the real mission.

Rafferty took over the reins of the organization from 2013 to 2014 as the interim execu-tive director, and said she was simply keeping the ship afloat while the current executive di-rector, Aaron Leonard, finished

The soft-spoken side of fostering rebirth after 9/11 his run of 30 years as a U.S. Army colonel before retiring to take over the nonprofit full time.

With insight into the difficul-ties that veterans faced, Leon-ard served as a perfect person to lead Project Rebirths growth into an organization dedicated to helping people form resil-ience after trauma. Rafferty, who retained her role as man-aging director, said that outside the Rebirth documentary and other various short films follow-ing four other 9/11 victims, the organization now hosts several different programs spawned from the ideology of Project Rebirth.

Project Rebirths programs range from addressing the men-tal health of veterans through community forums and help-ing female veterans overcome abuse with cycling to organiz-ing workshops for widows of any type of disaster.

Its everything from young veterans coming home and find-ing it hard to adjust from the traumas of war, Rafferty said, to at-risk youth that are grow-ing up in communities that are likened to a war zone.

While it may seem like an

incomprehensible amount of work, Rafferty is no stranger to the volunteer lifestyle. After moving to the Village of Ma-maroneck 24 years ago, Raf-ferty worked with the Larch-mont Newcomers Club, served as the president of the PTA at Mamaroneck Avenue School, and played a crucial role in the renovations of the Mamaroneck Public Library.

Working with a dedicated team, Rafferty was able to raise $6.5 million in donations and worked to generate support for a $13 million village bond to create a modern library that renovated the 1926 building. Her efforts awarded her a Gold Leadership in Energy and Envi-ronmental Design designation from the U.S. Green Building Council, which surprised her since she was aiming for a sil-ver certification. Continuing her volunteer efforts at the library, Rafferty will be showing one of Project Rebirths shorter-length films on Oct. 18.

After tackling such an ambi-tious project on top of her con-tinued volunteer efforts with Project Rebirth, Rafferty was expecting to take a break from

her 15-year-long stretch of vol-unteer work. However, as soon as she finished fundraising for the Mamaroneck library, Proj-ect Rebirth asked her to serve as its interim executive director.

I think its karma or fate, Rafferty said. Im also not good at saying no when people ask for that kind of help.



By JAMeS PerOStaff Writer

Perhaps the only thing more intriguing than the content of Judith Duprs books is the way theyre presented.

Skyscrapers, a New York Times bestseller, is elongated and skinny, mimicking the di-mensions of the towers chroni-cled between its covers; Bridg-es sprawls horizontally in a homage to the architectural de-sign of its namesake; Church-es, another New York Times best seller, folds open like the gates to a chapel, revealing its pages like a churchs nave.

For her next book, howeverwhich catalogues the arduous, and oftentimes emotionally-charged, construction of One World Trade CenterDupr may not need any symbolic de-sign; the building, and the tragic history that preceded its erec-tion, speak for themselves.

Dupre said, though the Twin Towers, which stood in place of One World Trade Center be-fore terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, are now long gone, their shadow still looms over the site.

The opportunity arose to write about One World Trade Center, Dupr said. And I

thought, Heres this challenge. How do I make this new when everything down there is haunt-ed by the ghost of 9/11 The biggest challenge that One World Trade Center has to face is exorcising the ghosts of the past.

In late July, Dupr, a resident of Prospect Avenue in Mama-roneck, was one of 36 appli-cants to receive a grant from the National Endowment of the Hu-manities for its inaugural Pub-lic Scholars program, a grant which will help fund her newest endeavor; a book called One

World Trade Center: The Biog-raphy of the Building, which is set to be released in spring 2016.

The $37,800 grant will aid Duprwho was given un-precedented access to the site, archives, and suppliers of the Trade Center by the Port Au-thorityin crafting a book that will take readers on an immer-sive journey through the build-ings actualization, using origi-nal photography, transcripts from more than 70 interviews with the buildings chief archi-tects and designers, and an in-teractive website where readers will be able to explore the topic even further.

Dupr is no rookie when it comes to writing about architec-ture. She has developed a track record for rendering the worlds architecture in a way that is both accessible and enjoyable to mass audiences for the past 30 years, selling nearly a million copies worldwide.

But according to Dupr, no building has surprised her as much as One World Trade Center.

The building had to do so much, she said. It had to be a good place for thousands of peo-ple to work; it had to be the most secure building in the world. [One World Trade Centers] se-curity measures have changed the way skyscrapers are built around the world Its an in-credibly innovative building.

Despite the buildings abil-ity to inspire awe, according to Dupr, both constructing the building as well as writing about it came with its fair share of complications. For her, the ma-jor obstacle was capturing the beauty and ethos of the Trade Center while presenting opin-ions about it.

Sorting out all the opinions in an equitable way [was dif-ficult], she said. Everyone wanted to tell me the real story. There were a lot of opinions.

Surprisingly, according to Dupr, the Trade Centers big-gest obstacle to fruition may have been, not having too few, but too many people willing to help.

Building the Trade Cen-ter was like a relay race where

people just brought in signifi-cant concepts and then handed off the baton to the next person who then advanced it again a bit, she said. It took a long time to build. It was also a project that was slowed by a smothering of good intentions. People wanted to help; people wanted to be involved.

This complication, accord-ing to Dupr, was also one of the Trade Centers biggest triumphs.

During the push to erect One World Trade Center, the author explains that dozens of orga-nizations consisting of hun-

dreds of members, along with more than 26,000 construction workers were involved in brin-ing the Trade Center to life.

With no hyperbole, Dupr said, One World Trade Center is the most profound collabora-tion in history.

Even though the book is near-ing completion according to Dupr, she continues to spitball new ideas for how to make the reading experience even more immersive and interactive.

One idea involves a corre-sponding mobile app which would allow visitors of the site to hear interviews with some of

One World Trade Centers most important architects.

We want to give people a way to use their smartphones to [interact] with One World Trade Center, she said. So you can pick up your phone and hear Da-vid Childs, the lead architect, tell you about the design.

Beyond any app, website, design, or piece of written con-tent, however, Dupr explained her simple goal for the book.

My goal was to convey the beauty of One World Trade Center, she said.

A look at Purchase Colleges Performing Arts CenterBy MArA ruPNerS

They say that everyones do-ing it.

The Bolshoi Ballet. The Met-ropolitan Opera. The Royal Shakespeare Company. Europes finest opera houses and the Na-tional Theatre.

No longer content to play to audiences limited by the size of the house and their proximity to the theater, performing arts venues of all shapes and sizes are utilizing technology to reach audiences throughout the world via live and captured live broad-casts that are digitally projected through spectacular, larger-than-life high definition screenings.

The various technologies re-quired to make this possiblesatellites, hard drives, DVDs, digital recorders and projec-torshave existed for some time. It was in the late 90s and early 2000s when filmmakers, distributors and consumer elec-tronics developers started putting it all together as a way to provide high-quality live and pre-record-ed alternative programming to mass audiences.

While there were many inno-vators working in the field, one particularly interesting charac-ter during these early days was Dr. Giovanni Cozzi. He founded Emerging Cinemas, and later Rising Alternative, which both quickly became leading inter-national distributors of digital content. Well ahead of his time, Cozzi was among the first to grasp the potential of utilizing digital technologies to create alternative experiences. One of his claims to fame is his 2003 live transmission of a total solar eclipse from Antarctica.

As with any new technology, quality and ease of use improve dramatically with each year. So is the case with digital record-ing and projection. Weve come a long way in the relatively short time since the experiments by Cozzi and others, and it is no wonder the popularity of these HD broadcasts continues to rise.

We here at The Performing Arts Center know a good thing when we see it, and so we are jumping on the bandwagon to bring you Cinema at The Cen-ter, a season-long series featur-ing HD screenings of opera from Europes greatest concert halls brought to us by Rising Alterna-tives and theaters hottest tickets recorded in London by National Theatre Live.

The series kicks off this month, and we hope you will come see for yourself how impressive this technology is. Heres more about what you need to know.

We start with a National The-atre Live presentation. On Sept. 20 at 2 p.m., you can experience Skylight, Stephen Daldrys acclaimed production of David Hares play, with Bill Nighy and Cary Mulligan reprising their Broadway and London West End roles as former lovers who at-

tempt to rekindle their once-pas-sionate relationship. Recorded live in July of this year, The Sun-day Mail hailed it as scorching, a brilliant play.

On Sept. 27 at 2 p.m., Bell-inis most famous opera, Nor-ma, fills the big screen for your enjoyment. It features a power-ful and vengeful classical hero-ine in a production directed by American stage director Kevin Newbury with conducting by Renato Palumbo. Soprano Son-dra Radvanovsky, singing in Italian (with English subtitles), plays the high priestess who breaks her vow of chastity. The opera was recorded at Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona in February 2015.

Tickets are $20, seating is general admission. Discounts are available for seniors, stu-dents, and for those who pur-chase tickets to three or more events. For more information, call the box office at 251-6200.

And sometime before this months screenings, I urge you to Google Dr. Cozzi to read more about him the other cutting-edge technologists who contributed mightily to making your upcom-ing experience at The Center something to remember.

See you in this same space next month for an insiders look at our October performances.

Former teacher becomes student of retailingMel Siegel, once a preschool and

elementary school administrator, sees similarities between that career and the one he later chose: co-proprietor of a ten-nis club pro shop and running a sporting goods store in the Rye Ridge Shopping

Center in Rye Brook.

THE REVIEW: Explain how a pre-school and elementary school adminis-tratorof a Montessori school, no lessbecame the co-owner/teacher at a tennis club pro shop and then the proprietor of a sporting goods store in Rye Brook?

MEL: In truth, I realized that what I was doing in the schools was essentially the same as run-ning a business. At the schools, I served as the point person with the board, the parents, the teach-ers, the maintenance staff and the community. I enjoyed every moment of it and I was confi-dent that I could transfer my teaching skills to tennis, as well as running a successful sport-ing goods store. Being able to keep my finger in teaching and growing a retail business proved to be a perfect fit for me and, at the same time, extremely moti-vating. Before he passed away a couple of years ago, I also had the perfect partner in my cous-in, David Meyers, who ran the business side of our tennis shop at Sound Shore Indoor Tennis (The Tennis Professionals). Not surprisingly, given my school experience, I was better at in-teracting with customers, some-thing Ive been doing every day at Sportech in Rye Brook for the past 25 years.

THE REVIEW: What kind of hours do you put in and is it more than before your cousins death?

MEL: On a daily basis, Im down to seven to nine hours a day. Naturally, after Davids death, it climbed back to 10 to 12, but now that things have set-tled down and a few of my as-sociates have stepped up to fill at least part of the void created by Davids death, the hours are back to a normal level. However, as an owner, I often have to bite the bullet and do whats neces-sary, whenever its necessary, for Sportech and The Tennis Professionals.

THE REVIEW: What and for whom do you sell at Sportech?

MEL: Our customers fall into two basic categories. One is the educated, affluent Westchester

family with disposable income. The other is the people from the less affluent communities with less disposable income. Rich or poor, we treat everyone with the utmost respect. As for what we sell, the bulk of our business centers on athletic footwear and apparel, for the casual wearer and the serious athlete. Racquet sports are clearly our specialty.

THE REVIEW: Tell us more about your relationships with customers.

MEL: I actually enjoy my cus-tomers tremendously. We sell recreational and health products, so our typical patron comes to us looking forward to a posi-tive, upbeat feeling about his or her shopping experience. As I tell prospective employees, we are lucky to work in a store like Sportech where, unlike a medical supply company or a pharmacy, people are here in or-der to purchase something that makes them feel or look good, or enables them to take part in a healthy activity.

I believe customers see me as friendly, outgoing, fair, hard-working and knowledgeable. They frequently comment on my patience with kids and my abil-ity to communicate with them.

THE REVIEW: Do your friends see a different side to you?

MEL: Yes, my friends see a person whos somewhat more

introspective than the engag-ing personality I try to display to customers. Friends know me as someone who likes his quiet moments, someone who enjoys family, gardening, cooking and zoning out watching TV. And, yes, someone who loves to go out by himself late at night, pushing the envelope at 2 a.m. on a weeknight in the city listen-ing to local funk and rock bands and then coming to work and being more energetic than my high school and college-aged employees.

THE REVIEW: If you could change one thing about your customers, what would it be?

MEL: It would be their desire shop online. While they con-ceptually understand how nega-tively online purchasing affects local retailing, they dont realize the extent of it.

As one woman said to me, When I need to buy my childs cleats at the last minute because he tells me an hour before a game, I cant do that online.

My response goes like this: Yes, but if you dont shop here when there isnt a time crunch, we wont be here for your last-minute needs.

This is the single biggest problem facing local retailers and I think your newspaper should begin addressing it immediately, perhaps in a series of articles.

cus more on your interior. Be your own person with your

own interests, tastes and ideas, and start seeing yourself as the amazing woman you truly are.

Dear Tonia:Is Labor Day the cutoff for

wearing white? I hear mixed opinions.

L.T., Armonk

Dear L.T.:The whole no wearing white

after Labor Day is a rule of the past and doesnt apply anymore. You can pull off wearing white all year round when done right. Heavier fabrics will carry you through, but not lighter fabrics like linen. Nothing is more chic than white jeans with a comfort-able sweater and blazer with leather boots. One of my favor-ite fashion icons, Jackie Onassis, looked fabulous in white jeans and a black turtleneck with black flats. A turtleneck under a sweat-er or a white shirt under a car-digan can also have a slimming effect. Break up a white top or bottom with denim, gray or dark colors like black or brown. Re-tire the sandals and add a boot or a heavier closed shoe. The only no white rule that still applies is when you attend a wedding.

Dear Tonia:I tried on many eyeglasses to

see which frame looks best on

me, but I cant decide. What is the best way to choose the right frames?

F.H., Pelham

Dear F.H.:Your eyes are the windows to

the soul and the frames around them should complement the shape of your face and reflect your personality. Since glasses are an obligation, choose an up-dated frame that will make your look younger and more stylish. Small frames are suggested for a strong prescription. They wont distract the work of the lens and will keep the light in. A frame should not be wider than your head, with the center of the lens falling slightly below eye level. A low-set bridge will make a long nose look shorter. Angu-lar or square shapes will make a round face appear thinner. A small face will benefit using a rimless frame, even if just at the bottom.

Choose a good optician and shop for quality frames. Have fun with a fashion color or a new look and enjoy wearing them as a fashion accessory.

Yo Miz!: 25 schools in one year

Its possible you moved from the city to the suburbs for the schools. Thats what my parents did.

But New York Citys public schools arent all to be avoided. Some are absolutely amazing, and some are amazingly awful. Elizabeth Rose knows that bet-ter than almost anyone. Her new book Yo Miz! chronicles the 25 different NYC public schools she has subbed at during a sin-gle, crazy year.

The songwriter/playwright had been teaching at the same school for a decade and was loving it until her principal had to pare the staff.

Like 2,500 other excessed educators, Rose found out she would be substituting a week at a time one school, after another. Rumor had it that this was sup-posed to drive the teachers so crazy, theyd all quitsome-thing Rose considered.

But then she re-considered. Outsiders werent generally al-lowed into the schools, so this was her chance. It was, she de-cided, irresistible.

And so began a year that swung from inspiring to infuri-ating on pretty much a weekly basis.

Her first placement, Baruch High School, was filled with stu-dents eager to study the Code of Hammurabi and what made for a just punishment. Its the kind of school most of us wish our kids could go, but only about 450 of the brightest of the bright get in.

This deployment was quickly followed by one at an unscreened

school on the Lower East Side where Rose was thrown into chemistry classshes an art teacherand threatened with assault. One student had gang insignia tattooed on his face.

Stints followed at the High School of Fashion Industries, a buzzing hive of creativity with students handiwork draped on dress mannequins. Then she spent a week guarding an unused door in a fetid hallway at another school. The principal screamed at her when she requested a bathroom key. From students to faculty, everyone looked beaten down.

There was another week at a high-energy graphic design school where students worked on the latest video editing equip-ment, followed by a week at a school in Washington Heights where she was put in charge of the art class.

Here, the art supplies all fit into one cardboard box: a bunch of colored pencils. They all needed sharpening, says Rose. And naturally, someone had run off with the sharpener.

Someone had also run off with any semblance of leader-ship. Rose learned that she was only there so the school could claim its students had fulfilled their art class credit. It was a scam.

She took a deep breath and decided it would at least be a week worth remembering. Take out your pens, she told the class. Were doing self portraits. What is your most interesting feature? Exaggerate it.

A table full of boys refused. They said, No, this is whack. So Rose went to the white board and started drawing them. This enraged the boys. What right

did she have? They retaliated by drawing her, and not kindly. But she had the last laugh. They were drawing.

The next day Rose brought in some art supplies from home. The next day, some more. On the last day, however, she brought in Oreos and a camera and an-nounced, Today were going to do an art project. Her assign-ment? Write on the white board all the things they thought an art class should have.

Paper! Paint! Field trips! We deserve a great art

class! Rose scrawled at the top of the board. Then she set up a camera, gathered the students in front of the classroom, facing the board and told them they could make whatever gesture seemed appropriate.

Its a gesture youve seen on the highway when you cut some-body off.

The picture summed up Roses outrage and what she hopes will be her readers, too. How can a school of 600 young people have no art supplies in the creative capital of America? How can some kids never go on a field trip when they live just a few subway stops away from one of the greatest art mu-seums in the world? How can some schools have video editing equipment, or discussions about Hammurabi, and others have dank halls, screaming principals and just one week of art?

Once you meet these kids, youll feel how much you want them to have a chance at suc-cess, says Rose.

Im feeling it.

White rules and working on the inner you

Dear Tonia:I think Im OK with my looks

but I never really feel beautiful, nor do I think others find me to be beautiful. I have friends who arent really attractive or are overweight, yet they always seem confident about how they look. I often hear them say they bought or wore something and looked beautiful. How can I feel the same? Isnt beauty not just about your looks?

D.S., New Rochelle

Dear D.S.:A beautiful mind makes a

beautiful woman. The percep-tion of beauty is subjective, so people have different ideas of what is beautiful. The key to feeling beautiful is being com-fortable in your own skin, which exudes confidence. Confidence and self-respect, respect for oth-ers, empathy and an open mind all play a big role in how people perceive you.

Be more forgiving of yourself and less critical. Remember that others dont see what you see. Accept who you are and what you look like, and love yourself and others. As we age and our looks begin to fade, the exterior becomes less significant, so fo-

LIVE MIKE!

In my haste to welcome in the new NFL season this year, I for-got about one of the inevitable low points brought on by my gridiron fanaticism: the Monday morning malaise.

Outside of football season, Sundays are generally lovely. Without anything to cover, the day is completely mine; I can curl up with a book, get a little writing done, maybe even hit the gym if Im feeling ambitious.

Once September rolls around? Not so much.

This past weekend, my Sun-day played out much as it will for the next 17 weeks. I met up with some friends in the morning to watch the NFL pregame shows and proceeded to spend the next 11 hours glued to the couch, lap-top opened to Yahoos fantasy football page while the RedZone

Monday morning quarterbackschannel provided us with a con-stant stream of football action. By the time the Sunday night game rolled around, my eyes started to glaze over. Information overload turned me into some-thing akin to a football zombie.

But it would have all been worth it if not for the final three minutes of the Giants-Cowboys game. That was the icing on the cake.

Now, I get it. The Giants, even if everything broke right this year, were probably not going to make the playoffs. At best, they are a 7-9 team destined to miss the playoffs for a third straight year. The least they could have done, though, was beat the rotten Cowboys in Week 1.

But with a three-point lead late in Sunday nights game, the Giants made every mistake they possibly could have made. Eli Manning and Tom Coughlin lost their grasp on the situation on the offensive end, and then respond-ed by melting down completely and allowing Tony Romo and his band of star-clad nogoodniks to

march down the field for a game-winning touchdown.

It was absolutely brutal to watch, and knowing that Monday morning was coming made it even worse.

When other sports teams lose a game, its fairly easy to move past. No matter how badly the Yankees play on a Sunday, you know theres a good chance theyll go out the following night and put one in the win column. With foot-ball, you have all week to digest what went wrong with your team; all week to pick apart deficiencies and bad calls; and all week to envi-sion a season so filled with futility that it makes you want to throw up your hands up in despair.

And if youre like me, you get to work in the morning and see your editor, a die-hard Dallas fan, who cant wait to talk about the game the night before.

I should have just called in sick.

Huguenots hang on against TigersBy MiKe SMiThSports Editor

After scoring a victory over preseason favorite John Jay on opening day, the New Rochelle football team was back in action against Mamaroneck on Sept. 11. Although the Huguenots im-proved to 2-0 on the season with a 14-6 win over the Tigers, head coach Lou DiRienzo admits that his team needs to get better if it hopes to vie for a Class AA title this year.

New Rochelle found the end zone twice during the first half on Friday, picking up points on a Keelan Thomas run and a pass from Greg Powell to John Sad-dler to bury the Tigers. But Ma-maronecks defense came up big in goal line situations, forcing two turnovers on downs while backed up deep in its own end.

According to DiRienzo, New Rochelles inability to convert these key chances has been wor-risome early in the season.

I dont know if we didnt play our best or if we just have a lot of growing up to do, DiRienzo

said. Right now, Im thorough-ly frustrated offensively because we just havent been able to put a whole drive together.

Despite the Huguenots red zone struggles, however, New Rochelle has showed an aptitude

for coming up with big plays in crucial moments over the last two weeks. After Mamaroneck got on the board in the second quarter on a 29-yard pass from Peter Solimine to Patrick Cot-ter, New Rochelle marched right down the field on the next possession, capping off a scor-ing drive with Powells pass

to Saddler. With 1:14 re-maining in the game, the

Tigers Daniel ORourke took a screen pass down to the New Rochelle 7-yard-line but was met by a host of Huguenots who stripped the ball and recovered the fumble.

Powell, who completed 8-of-11 passes on the night and also played on the defensive end, said that even when the Hugue-nots arent firing on all cylin-ders, they have still found ways to come away with wins.

We never give up on a play, never give up in a game, said the senior. We never quit, we never get down.

In addition to their formida-ble foes from Mamaroneck, the Huguenots also battled injuries throughout the night. Stand-

out sophomore running back Jared Baron was inactive

for much of the second half, Powell left the game momentarily in the third quarter after cramping up,

and his backup, Saddler, also left the game with a leg injury. For New Rochelle, said Powell, the message is clear; everyone on the roster has to be ready

to contribute.Its just next man up, re-

ally, he said. We just need to hydrate better and really work on this stuff in practice.

New Rochelle will head north on Sept. 19 as they get ready to take on North Rockland. The Red Raiders are 1-1 on the season after holding off a late White Plains rally last weekend.

Were going to have to go back to the drawing board, DiRienzo said about the upcom-ing game. The last two weeks, weve picked up a couple of hundred yards on offense, but obviously Im doing something wrong so were going to have to go back to work and correct it.
