Juggernaut Salvages A Split in Chicago, Hang Bandits, 5-1, with 5 Run 5th.

Hits: 0

WPCNR PRESS BOX. Special to WPCNR From Dayna Dixon, Chicago Bandits. August 7, 2005 (Edited): Outside it may have seemed like a perfect day, but to Bandit fans a storm had rolled into the ballpark.  The first place Chicago Bandits lost the final game of the series to the fourth place New York Juggernaut 5-1. The five New York runs were scored in just one painful inning for the Bandits.

The game started off as a pitcher’s duel.  Both Bandit Lauren Bay and Juggernaut Peaches James recorded 5 strikeouts each in just the first three innings.  James finished the game with 8 strikeouts and zero walks while giving up 4 hits and will move up just behind 2nd ranked Bay for wins.  After this game, Bay has 13 wins and James will now have 12. The fourth Place Juggernaut remain within striking distance of the First Place Bandits, 4-1/2 games off the pace, and tightened up the 4 team race for the NPF Playoffs. Akron drew within 1 game of the Bandits, and the third place Texas Thunder are within 2 games.

Bay was not the only Bandits pitcher to get some action.  Both Amy Harre
and Gina Oaks came in for the last 2.2 innings, but were not able to
repair the dent New York had made in the fifth inning.

In the second inning, Juggernaut Ryan Realmuto dove back to first when
catcher Mackenzie Vandergeet attempted to pick her off first base, but it
was too far off for Gina Oaks to grab.  The ball was deflected off of the
umpire’s body to prevent it from going to right field and allowing
Realmuto to advance.  A couple pitches later Realmuto was successful at
stealing second base.

Jaclyn Pasquerella worked the pitcher in the third inning by staying in
the batter’s box for 9 pitches.  Bay finally sent her to the dugout with a
swinging and a miss for strike three.

Although the pitchers started out hot, the game took a turn in the bottom
of the fourth inning when the Bandits scored first.

Bandit Gina Oaks ended the series of zeros on the score board with a
single into left field.  Jaime Clark followed with a double to the fence
in center that brought Oaks home for her 18th RBI, bringing the score to
1-0.  Vandergeest hit a shot to first baseman Jodie Cox who caught the
line drive.  Juggernaut Natasha Watley ended the inning by cleaning
fielding Lindsay Hamma’s ground ball.

The Bandits ran into deep trouble in the top of the fifth inning.  Alicia
Smith started it up with a single to advance Chelsea Spencer and Jodie
Cox.  When Jackie Pasquerella came up to bat, the bases were loaded with
no outs, giving her the opportunity to open up the flood gates.


3-run Throwing Error.



Pasquerella hit a ground ball to first baseman Clark who threw it right
back to home to get the force out.  Catcher Vandergeest was not satisfied
with just one out so she turned to third with an attempt to get Spencer
out.  Instead of an out, Vandergeest’s powerful arm overthrew third base
and the ball continued out to the fence allowing all three runners to
score.

Fueling from the energy, Watley and Carri Leto followed with two singles.
Both players ended up scoring with unearned runs due to throwing errors
that had advanced them, bringing New York ahead, 5-1.  After Leto’s
single, Bay was replaced in the circle by Amy Harre and the Bandits closed
the inning with two more outs.  Bay finished her 4.1 inning performance
with 6 strikeouts, but walked 3 and gave up another 3 hits.  Only three of
the runs had been earned.

The Bandits were unable to recover from the damage, but did have two more
hits in the game by Megan Ciolli and Gina Oaks.

Even though Harre held the Juggernaut to the 5-1 score, Chicago coaches
replaced her in the final inning with Oaks.  Both pitchers allowed one hit
each without striking out any.


New York travels to Akron to race the second place Racers August 11-14th. The Chicago Bandits will host the 2005 NPF All-Star Game and Playoffs on Saturday, August 27th and Sunday, August 28th. ESPN2 will televise the NPF All-Star Game tape delayed on August 28th at 5:00 pm eastern time and the Championship Game at 7:00 pm EST on the same day.

Bandits Edge Nauts, 3-2, As Nauts Rally in 7th is Stymied.

Hits: 0

WPCNR PRESS BOX. Special to WPCNR from Dayna Dixon, Chicago Bandits. August 7, 2005: The battle continues today  in Chicago as the Chicago Bandits won their second game this weekend against the Juggernaut 3-2 Saturday night in Lisle, Illinois.  The two teams have been exchanging the wins since last weekend in New York. 


 


The Banditas Lindsay Chouinard gave up 5 hits but picked up her 8th win of the season in the circle for Chicago.  On the other end, Jodie Cox gave up 8 hits and struck out two.  Cox took the loss for her third this year.





Both teams welcomed back players who were in Japan this past week playing on the USA National Team.  Bandits Jaime Clark and Vicky Galindo along with Juggernaut Natasha Watley returned to play with their NPF team for the rest of the series.  In the first inning alone, Watley created two outs defensively.


 


The game didn’t get rolling until the bottom of the third inning when the Bandits scored the first run of the game.


 


Bandit Vicky Galindo walked and scored when ex-Naut Gina Oaks recorded her 7th RBI when she drove in Galindo off of her single to deep left.  The inning ended on an out from Oaks at first when the officials caught her leaving the bag early.


  


The Bandits exploded in the fourth inning with their bats, but only came up with one run.  Pitcher Jodie Cox gave up three hits in this inning alone.


 


 Jaime Clark hit a blooper that dropped in short center just enough put her on first.  Clark was moved around the bases with the next two batters but when Christina Enea pushed the ball to the left field outfielder Kaleo Eldredge gunned the ball to home.  Catcher Realmuto tagged Clark a couple feet in front of the plate.  Collins made up for the previous play by scoring Enea with her single to bring the Bandits to 2-0.


 


Kate Varde singled and was replaced by Liz Bouck to run.  Next up, Galindo was hit by pitch, although coach Julie Smith would disagree. She appealed the call to the home plate umpire .  Oaks hit a line drive down the left field line to bring in Bouck (who re-entered to run), giving the Bandits a 3-0 lead after four.  New York switched it up by bring in relief pitcher Auburn Sigurdson to finish off the inning with two outs.


 


The Juggernaut procrastinated by waiting until the 7th inning to put some runs on the board.  Chouinard gave up four hits including a double.


 


Alicia Smith pinchhit to start the rally, singling to get on.  Chelsea Spencer, who was hit by a pitch in the first inning, drove in Smith with her double.  Jackie Pasquerella became the potential tying run on first with her single as Spencer crossed the plate, making it 3-2.


 


 After Watley was safe at first, Pasquerella attempted to stretch it to third, but first basemen Enea threw the ball to Galindo who tagged Jackie out at third, ending the game. The loss dropped the Juggernaut 5-1/2 games behind the league-leading Bandits.


 


The final game between the Chicago Bandits and New York Juggernaut will take place noon Sunday, August 7th at the Bandits’ home field in Lisle, Ill.  The loss left the Juggernaut 2-1/2 Games ahead of the Arizona Heat for the 4th and last playoff berth in the NPF.

Hits: 0

WPCNR PRESS BOX. Special to WPCNR From Dayna Dixon, Chicago Bandits. August 5, 2005: The Juggernaut turned to their former Acette Friday night to wrench a game from the NPF league-leading Chicago Bandits. Amazing Amanda Scott, pitching coach for the Nauts for the first eight weeks of the season, showed her protegees how it’s done twirling a 4-hitter, stranding three Bandits on the bags in the 7th to nail down the win at Benedictine University Stadium outside Chicago.

Trina Peel walked stole second and moved to third, scoring on a wild pitch by Amy Harre in the Naut fourth for the only run Amanda needed. Jackie Pasquerella plated Trina with the second Naut tally in the seventh with a two out single after Trina had doubled. The 4th Place Nauts hung in the National Pro Fast Pitch race moving to 26-8, “peeling” the First Place Bandit lead to 4-1/2 games, and 3 in the AILC (All-Important Loss Column).

Plastic Pipe Cannot Be used in Cappelli Hotel: Gismondi

Hits: 0

WPCNR COMMON COUNCIL CHRONICLE-EXAMINER. By John F. Bailey. August 5, 2005: Mike Gismondi, Commissioner of Building for the City of White Plains, assured WPCNR Tuesday evening that though plastic pipe can now installed in buildings six stories or 75 feet high in the city, that the Cappelli Hotel structure, currently planned for six stories, 200-plus rooms,  would not be permitted to use the plastic pipe.

Plastic pipe was granted building code-legal status in the city when the Common Council accepted the revised Supplementary Building Code Tuesday afternoon, 6-0. The new ordinance permitting the conditions under which plastic pipe may now be used, appearing in the section labeled “Materials” reads:


(1) Plastic plumbing materials are not permitted for installation in buildings in the City of White Plains exceeding six stories above grade, or seventy-five feet in height above the lowest level of fire department vehicle access, whichever is lower.


The Compromise according to Councilman Tom Roach, was brokered by Councilman Robert Greer as a means of helping individual homeowners save money by being able to install plastic pipe in their homes, while prohibiting use of plastic pipe in high rise buildings, which arose as an issue over the last two weeks, raised by the plumbers union and firefighters.


Speculation reached the CitizeNetReporter, that, even though Louis Cappelli has stated repeatedly he would not use plastic pipe in his buildings because it was not appropriate for a luxury building, that Cappelli would use the plastic pipe in the hotel portion of his building.


Commissioner Gismondi, when asked by WPCNR if this was legal even if the hotel were only six stories, said plastic pipe was not permitted because the hotel and the double high rise condominiums were part of one building, one foundation, and you could not mix and match iron pipe and plastic pipe.

Bandits Edge Juggernaut, 1-0, in Windy City.

Hits: 0

WPCNR PRESS BOX. Special to WPCNR From the Chicago Bandits. August 5, 2005: Returning home after four games in Long Island with the New York Juggernaut, the Chicago Bandits bounced back on Thursday to take the win over the New York Juggernauts, 1-0 .  The two teams continued competition from four game match the previous weekend in New York.  The Juggernauts captured the final victory, 4-3,  that series after the Bandits won the first three. The Bandits have taken command of the National Pro Fastpitch race down the stretch heading to the Playoffs the last week in August.



Chicago starter Lauren Bay earned the win in her six inning performance by giving up one hit while striking out three.  Circlemate Peaches James fought back with five strikeouts, but at the same time giving up five hits and walking three.

Christina Enea started up the action when she approached the plate with two outs in the inning.  The shot dropped right in between second baseman Carrie Leto and rightfielder Trena Peel, and then rolled past Peel to round Enea to third.  Mackenzie Vandergeest executed by driving the ball right up the middle to bring in the first run of the game.

Peel rebounded from the previous half by sending the ball to left field on one bounce.  After making it safe to the base, she continued on to steal her way around to third on different pitches.  Third base was as far as she could make it as the next two batters were out.

Gina Oaks was the next Bandit to reach a bag in the third inning by a base on balls.  With Liz Bouck up next to bat, Oaks was caught stealing but Bouck copied her by taking a ball four.  Juggernaut short stop sped her way into foul territory to catch Enea’s pop-up, ending the inning.

Chelsea Spencer aggressively grabbed the ground ball Haley Viefhaus hit up the middle, but her momentum continued, forcing her to hold on to the ball.  Laura Harms followed with another hard hit to Spencer who attempted to make the play at second but Viefhaus beat the ball there.

In the fifth inning, Peel had the second hit of the game for herself and the Juggernauts.  She was also the only player with two hits this night.  This time around she could not get any further than first.  Kim Ogee hit a line drive to Viefhaus at third, who gunned it to first for the double play.

Bandits reliefer Amy Harre faced the final four batter to end the game, 1-0

City Earns a Surplus in Fiscal 2004-2005, Thanks to Mortgage Tax.

Hits: 0

 


 


WPCNR Quill & Eyeshade. By John F. Bailey. August 5, 2005: Paul Wood, White Plains Executive Officer announced to WPCNR Wednesday evening that the city had made its budget numbers for the fiscal year 2004-2005 showing a surplus of approximately $2 million.

Wood did not give the exact amount of the surplus the city had collected, but said it was the first surplus in many years. Wood said the county mortgage tax collected on real estate sales had come in at over $4 Million, creating the surplus.


The 2004-2005 budget figures had recognized $2,257,023 in county mortgage tax receipts  as of December 31, and according to Wood has approximately doubled  “to over $4  million” over the last six months of fiscal 2004-05, (ending June 30).Wood did not say how the surplus would be applied to the 2005-2006 budget. The 2005-2006 budget (as passed) counts on only $2,200,000 from the mortgage tax.


 


Wood said the final sales tax figure had come in slightly below $41.5 million but a higher-than-expected mortgage tax “handle” had enabled the city to meet its budget with a surplus.  The sales tax budgeted for 2004-2005 was $37,800,000, and as of December 31, 2004, had reached $20,878,181. With Wood’s disclosure Wednesday it would appear, if the budget ends up at “slightly below $41.5 million,” that sales tax for the last six months of 2004-2005, was exactly even with the first half. This is good, from the city standpoint, considering you have no holiday shopping season from January to June.


 


By WPCNR rough estimate sales tax collections for 2004-2005, ending at approximately $41.5 Million means that sales tax rose about 10% year to year from 2003-2004 to 2004-2005. With the expected opening of Wal Mart in January, this should bode well for the city.


 


Asked when the actual quarterly city performance numbers would be released, Wood said they would be forthcoming.

In Theatres Now
Must Love Dogs Thirty-something pre-school teacher Sarah Nolan has been divorced for eight months, which is much too long for her co-workers and family to bear. With the best of intentions and only her happiness in mind, Sarah’s sisters, Carol and Christine, begin lining up less-than-savory potential suitors. Meanwhile, their widowed father, Bill, is way ahead of the curve, having already cornered the market on internet dates, including his new web squeeze, the free-spirited Dolly. (PG-13) Sky High When you’re the son of the world’s most legendary superheroes The Commander and Jetstream, there is only one school for you – Sky High, an elite high school that is entrusted with the responsibility of molding today’s power-gifted students into tomorrow’s superheroes. The problem is that Will Stronghold is starting with no superpowers of his own and, worst of all, instead of joining the ranks of the “Hero” class, he finds himself relegated to being a “Sidekick.” Now he must somehow survive his freshman year while dealing with an overbearing gym coach, a bully with super speed and a dangerous rebel with a grudge (and the ability to shoot fire from his hands)?not to mention the usual angst, parental expectations and girl problems that accompany teenage life. (PG ) Stealth A squadron of elite pilots embarks on a mission of global consequence to neutralize and out-of-control prototype drone fighter plane equipped with artificial intelligence and the ability to precipitate a nuclear war. (PG-13)

The Dukes of Hazzard Hazzard County boasts some of the most axel-busting back roads, hair-raising moonshine, and best-looking farm girls in all of Georgia — and the Duke boys enjoy all three — frequently. The Duke’s family business is moonshine, and the boys’ Uncle Jesse concocts the tastiest brew in Dixie. More often than not, the boys find themselves on the wrong side of the law as they race to make their deliveries, leading the sheriff’s department on some truly wild goose chases in their infamous orange Dodge Charger, the General Lee.

August 3, 2005: White Plains Hospital Center (WPHC) is seeking blood donors to fill its Blood Bank, which typically runs low during the summer months.  “Traditionally, the summer means a slowdown for donors, since so many people are on vacation,” said Peggy Nau, WPHC Blood Bank Supervisor.  “However, our need for blood remains the same, and we’re hoping more people will be willing to donate.”


 


 The hospital uses about 400 pints of blood each month, for all types of surgeries, treatment of cancer patients, and other procedures.  Blood is kept for about 35 days.


 


Blood donors should be between the ages of 17 and 75 and in good health.  All donors receive a mini physical exam, including temperature and blood pressure checks.  All donated blood is tested for AIDS, hepatitis and syphilis.


 


Located on the fifth floor of the hospital, the Blood Bank is open Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.  Blood donations take about 30 minutes, and donors can rest and enjoy refreshments after giving blood.  Parking will be validated.    To donate blood to the WPHC Blood Bank, please call (914) 681-1057. 


 


 For further information, please call  (914) 681-1119 or visit the Hospital’s website:  www.wphospital.org.
