Trial of Big Bad Wolf is Fort Hill Players Summer in the Parks Production.

Posted on June 23, 2004 by John Bailey

WPCNR STAGE DOOR. From Kelly Jean Baker, Fort Hill Players, June 22, 2004: The Fort Hill Players, recently having completed their auditions of their fall production of Dracula, have announced the schedule for their summer run in White Plains parks. This summer’s Theatre in the Parks production is The Trial of the Big Bad Wolf. Seven performances will be produced at the following White Plains parks:

Fort Hill Players is proud to announce its 6^th Annual “Free Summer Theater in the Parks” production of:

“THE TRIAL OF THE BIG BAD WOLF”

directed by Jac-que Robinson

· The Wolf: villain or victim?

· The Three Pigs: innocent or at fault?

· The Jurors (Miss Muffet, Old King Cole, Cinderella and Humpty-Dumpty, to mention a few): solid citizens or characters with a past?

· And what about Judge Wise O. Al? Is justice on his side – or does he have a secret to hide?

· Then there’s the media – a reporter, a newscaster and a town crier. Have they come to accurately report the proceedings – or to turn the courtroom into a media circus?

· And who is that surprise witness at the end?

The answers to these profound questions and even more are revealed once and for all in this rollicking, fun filled, action packed trial-of-the-century.

PARK LOCATIONS

July 6 – Battle Whitney Park July 7 – Druss Park

July 9 – Turnure Park July 12 – Gillie Park

George Gretsas Contract a Honey. Tops $200G’s in Salary, Benefits.

Posted on June 22, 2004 by John Bailey

LIMITS. By John F. Bailey. June 22, 2004: The City of Fort Lauderdale made it official Tuesday that George Gretsas is coming on down. The public information office of Fort Lauderdale acknowledged that the “contract is fully executed” and Mr. Gretsas will be starting work in “The Venice of America” on August 2. Mr. Gretsas has signed a contract that he could not, in his right mind refuse.

THE $238,906 MAN: George Gretsas, officially now the New City Manager of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, announced this morning by that city. Mr. Gretsas is shown at the demolition of the old Macy’s in April, 2002. Photo, WPCNR News Archive.

A copy of the contract released to the media, reveals that Mr. Gretsas is free to consult during his “time off” from his new City Manager position, with no restrictions on who he can consult for. In addition, he is guaranteed a raise each year, plus more merit raises if the City Commissioners feel he’s done a good job. Gretsas, should he run into problems and is dismissed gets a lucrative severance.

Mayor of the City of Fort Lauderdale, James Naugle, in a statement issued to WPCNR Tuesday evening expressed confidence in the city’s choice: “We look forward To Mr. Gretsas joining our City. Fort Lauderdale is a vibrant city and I am confident that someone of George Gretsas’s character will be a good fit.”

Making Half the President of the United States.

Gretsas’ contract is for three years from August 2, 2003 to August 2, 2007, and it automatically renews, unless the City Commission votes to remove him.

His total compensation and benefits pack for year is $238,906, which includes $180,000 in base salary with an automatic $5,000 raise in year 2 and another automatic raise to $185,000 in year 2, and $190,000 in year 3.

However, if Mr. G does a good job, the City Commission may consider him for a merit raise bringing him to $193,000 in Year Two in base salary, and as much as $205,000 in year 3.

He also gets a $590 a month car allowance, plus 8.060 FICA, $36,072 in pension contribution, $331 in life insurance, $2,636 in Disability Insurance, and $4,727 in medical and dental benefits. His total first year compensation package is $238,906.

Golden Parachute.

If things do not work out, Mr. Gretsas walks off with a generous severance. If he is fired the first year, he receives 10 months’ salary and benefits as a severance. If released in the second year, he gets 8 months’ salary and benefits, and if terminated in the third year and following years, he gets 6 months’ salary and benefits.

Free to Consult, Write, Teach.

The City of Fort Lauderdale is also very generous in not limiting what Mr. Gretsas can do in his spare time. A specific paragraph in the contract spells out that the City Manager has the right to teach, consult or write “during time off from working duties of the City Manager.”

The actual clause reads:

(D) City Manager agrees to remain in the exclusive emply of City and shall not accept other employment nor tobecome employed by any other City until his termination date as provided in this Contract. This paragraph shall not effect the City Manager’s right to participate in occasional teaching, consulting or writing during the time off from working duties of the City Manager.

The contract does not place any prohibitions on what firms, entities, and organizations the City Manager can teach, write and consult for.

Mayors’ Offices Silent.

As of this hour, the City of Fort Lauderdale has not released any statements regarding the announcement of the contract, and the City of White Plains has not issued any comments on when Mr. Gretsas’ last day of employment will be, what his accrued sick pay and unused vacation pay will be, or who Mr. Gretsas’ successor, if any, will be as the Mayor’s Executive Officer.

The official departure of Mr. Gretsas raises the question of whether Mr. Gretsas will bring members of the Delfino Administration with him to Fort Lauderdale.

WPCNR has not been able to reach Mr. Gretsas for comments on when he is leaving White Plains, who he might bring with him, or whether he will continue to consult for the City of White Plains after his departure.

Once Again Boston & NY Set Inning Record…Nauts Go 27, Beat Tide, 3-2

Posted on June 22, 2004 by John Bailey

WPCNR PRESSBOX. From Kristen Zimmerman (Edited) June 22, 2004: On May 1, 1920, Joe Oeschger of the Boston Braves and Leon Cadore of the Brooklyn Dodgers dueled each other for 26 innings at Boston’s old Braves Field on the banks of the Charles River to a 1-1 tie.

Monday night, National Pro Fastpitch teams New England Riptide and the NY-NJ Juggernaut played 27 innings until Venus Taylor’s single ended the historic fastpitch marathon, 3-2, at 1: 00 AM Tuesday morning.

The longest professional ballgame, the Baseball Hall of Fame Library reports to WPCNR, was 33 innings between the Rochester Red Wings and the Pawtucket PawSox April 18, 1981. The Nauts-Riptide game is the second longest professional game…and the longest major league game.

Kaci Clark, Juggernaut righty pitched 21 innings for the Nauts, throwing 218 pitches, 167 for strikes, and fanning 20 batters. She joins baseball immortals Bob Smith of the Braves (22 Innings), and Babe Adams of Pittsburgh (21), Rube Marquard of the Giants(21), Art Nehf of the Braves (21), Ted Lyons of the White Sox (21) Rube Waddell of the A’s (20), Cy Young of the Red Sox (20) and Brooklyn’s Burleigh Grimes(20), who have pitched 20 innings or more in a start before giving way to relief. Gina Oaks notched the win for the Nauts with 6 innings of scoreless relief. Photo by WPCNR Sports

In the bottom of the 27^th inning, Juggernaut centerfielder Venus Taylor scored shortstop Lyndsey Klein with a single to right for the 3-2 win against the New England Riptide. Klein went 4-for-10 on the night. The game that took place at Montclair State University lasted six hours and ten minutes. Gina Oaks earned the win going five innings, giving up no runs on four hits, and one walk, while Dana Sorenson took the extra-inning loss, pitching 13.2 innings, giving up 11 hits and one earned run.

New England took the lead in the 13^th inning when left fielder Ashley Moore scored on an error by Taylor. However, the lead didn’t hold as Juggernaut first baseman Kellie Wilkerson singled to center to score Oaks and even the tie at two in the bottom of the inning. Wilkerson led the Juggernaut offensively with six hits in 11 at bats and two RBI. The game would go 14 more innings before another run would score.

The Nauts jumped on the board right away when first baseman Wilkerson scored second baseman Carri Leto with a single to right in the first inning. Leto led off the inning with a single up the middle.

The Riptide scored their first run when right fielder Sara Jewett answered the Juggernaut’s offense in the first with a lead off solo homerun that cleared the scoreboard in left center. Second baseman Nicole Thompson led the Riptide at the plate, with four hits on the night.

Pitcher Kaci Clark started the game for the Juggernaut and pitched 22 full innings, giving up 10 hits, just one earned run and one walk, while striking out 20. Riptide starter Leigh Ann Ellis went 13 innings, giving up 12 hits, two earned runs, and one walk, while striking out five.

The Juggernaut is sleeping in this morning according to G.M. Ricard Perotty, but will be back in action tonight at 7:35 at Montclair State University Softball Stadium against the Riptide, before heading to Lowell for three more games with the Riptide in a home-and-home.

Nauts President and GM Richard Perrotty told WPCNR both ball clubs had numerous chances to win the classic. He reported that only 30 fans were left to see Venus Taylor’s winning hit that moved the Nauts to 11-6 in the National Pro Fastpitch standings 1 game back of the Texas Thunder. Perrotty said they had “No Doz Specials” in between innings, and had contests for fans who guessed the inning when the game would be over.

Latimer: Let’s Take a Close Look at the Olympics in NY

Posted on June 22, 2004 by John Bailey

WPCNR WESTCHESTER COUNTY CLARION-LEDGER. From George Latimer. June 22, 2004: Westchester County Legislator George Latimer has called for a study by Westchester County of the impacts of proposed plans for New York City to host the 2012 Summer Olympics, as those plans affect Westchester County,
its residents and taxpayers.

“We’ve seen much hoopla over the possibility of bringing the Olympics here”, Latimer said, “but we haven’t seen any analysis of the financial impact of public expenditures or use of facilities that may be targeted here in Westchester. I think we owe it to the taxpayers to let them know what they’re buying when they get behind the push for the 2012
Olympics.”

Latimer – a candidate for the NY State Assembly in the 91st A.D. in this year’s elections – elaborated that economic impacts studies by proponents highlighted the benefit to New York City’s economy. “Usually, these one-shot events include creating permanent structures, such as a football stadium on the West Side of Manhattan, that require long-term usage for viability. I just want us to do our due-diligence as Westchester officials, so in 8 years’ time we’re not facing expensive surprises”.

Defeating Identity Theft. A Rueful Lawyer Now Knows Better.

Posted on June 21, 2004 by John Bailey

WPCNR POLICE GAZETTE. From Candyce Corcoran. June 20, 2004: A White Plains resident passes along this helpful advice that she advises citizens might follow should they ever have their identity papers stolen. The advice was prepared by an attorney who learned from painful experience the what-not-to-do’s when preparing your personal papers that you carry with you.

Read this and make a copy for your files in case you need to refer to it some day. A corporate attorney sent the following out to the employees in his company:

– The next time you order checks have only your initials (instead of first name) and last name put on them.

– If someone takes your check book they will not know if you sign your checks with just your initials or your first name but your bank will know how you sign your checks.

– When you are writing checks to pay on your credit card accounts, DO NOT put the complete account number on the “For” line. Instead, just put the last four numbers. The credit card company knows the rest of the number and anyone who might be handling your check as it passes through all the check processing channels won’t have access to it.

– Put your work phone # on your checks instead of your home phone. If you have a PO Box use that instead of your home address. Never have your SS# printed on your checks (DUH!) you can add it if it is necessary. But if you have it printed, anyone can get it.

– Place the contents of your wallet on a photocopy machine, do both sides of each license, credit card, etc. You will know what you had in your wallet and all of the account numbers and phone numbers to call and cancel.

– Keep the photocopy in a safe place. I also carry a photocopy of my passport when I travel either here or abroad.

– We’ve all heard horror stories about fraud that’s committed on us in stealing a name, address, Social Security number, credit cards, etc.

– Unfortunately I, an attorney, have firsthand knowledge because my wallet was stolen last month.

– Within a week, the thieve(s) ordered an expensive monthly cell phone package, applied for a VISA credit card, had a credit line approved to buy a Gateway computer, received a PIN number from BMV to change my driving record information online, and more.

– But here’s some critical information to limit the damage in case this happens to you or someone you know:

– We have been told we should cancel our credit cards immediately. But the key is having the toll free numbers and your card numbers handy so you know whom to call. Keep those where you can find them easily.

– File a police report immediately in the jurisdiction where it was stolen, this proves to credit providers you were diligent, and is a first step toward an investigation (if there ever is one).

– But here’s what is perhaps most important: (I never even thought to do this).

– Call the three national credit reporting organizations immediately to place a fraud alert on your name and Social Security number. I had never heard of doing that until advised by a bank that called to tell me an application for credit was made over the Internet in my name.

– The alert means any company that checks your credit knows your information was stolen and they have to contact you by phone to authorize new credit.

– By the time I was advised to do this, almost two weeks after the theft, all the damage had been done.

– There are records of all the credit checks initiated by the thieves’ purchases, none of which I knew about before placing the alert. Since then, no additional damage has been done, and the thieves threw my wallet away this weekend.(someone turned it in). It seems to have stopped them in their tracks.

The numbers are: Equifax: 1-800-525-6285

Experian (formerly TRW): 1-888-397-3742

Trans Union: 1-800-680-7289

The Value of Names

By Jeffrey Sweet

The Value of Names is an intriguing look at the aftermath of the Hollywood blacklisting of the 1950’s. Set on the patio of a beachside home in Malibu in 1981, Jack Klugman (The Odd Couple, Quincy) plays actor Benny Silverman, star of the hit situation comedy Rich But Happy, whose career was interrupted by the blacklist. His daughter, Norma, has just been cast in a play to be directed by Leo Greshen, the man who testified against Benny before the House Un-American Activities Commission. Suddenly, Benny must deal with the troubling history he has tried to forget. At Norma’s urging, Benny meets Leo, played by Louis Zorich (Mad About You, Brooklyn Bridge). The two men, who were once great friends, but have not spoken to each other in thirty years, are forced to confront eachother. The Value of Names explores issues of culpability, forgiveness, and how the next generation must deal with the mistakes from the past through a provocative and passionate exchange of ideas. Made possible with special funding by the David Schwartz Foundation.

Collins Blast and Lisa’s Liner Rip Tide, 3-2 Before 1,100 On Father’s Day

Posted on June 21, 2004 by John Bailey

WPCNR PRESSBOX. Special to WPCNR From Kristen Zimmerman. (Edited) June 20, 2004. In the sixth inning, Juggernaut catcher Lindsey Collins tripled on the left field line with one out, when New England Riptide leftfielder Ashley Moore dove in vain for her liner and missed stopping it. Moore had no chance, as the scorcher hit the foul line. As the ball bounced into the corner, Collins wheeled around to third in a tie game to set the table for Lisa Iancin’s gamer.

IT’S IN THERE! Designated player Lisa Iancin, after taking 2 balls, caught a Dana Sorensen pitch up with nothing on it and drove a hump back liner just to the left of RipTide’s Dana Sorensen shown lunging desperately for the shot, and to the right of the shortstop to give the New York New Jersey Juggernaut a 3-2 win over the Tide before 1,100 fans on Father’s Day family crowd at Montclair State University Softball Stadium. The Nauts, New York’s National Pro Fastpitch team snapped a two-game skid and moved to 10-6 on the season. WPCNR Video Capture from the YES Network.

JUGGER KNOCK! Shortstop Lyndsey Klein homers in the first inning, high, far and gone to left with a Juggernaut aboard for the first 2 Naut runs.The 2-run dinger was Klein’s third homerun of the season and she finished 1-for-2 with two RBI and a run scored. WPCNR Video Capture From The YES Network

The Riptide tied the score at two with four straight singles off of starter Amanda Scott in the first of the fifh Leftfielder Ashley Moore and designated player Emily Krueger each picked up an RBI in the inning. But those would be the only runs the Riptide would score as Scott got leadoff batter LaDonia Hughes to ground out and second baseman Nicole Thompson to fly out to right. Scott pitched a complete game, giving up two earned-runs on five hits, one walk, and four strikeouts.

Right fielder Lauren Bauer and left fielder Gina Oaks led the Nauts offensively. Bauer went 3-for-3 and Oaks went 2-for-3 with a run scored.

New England starter Dana Sorenson went six full innings, giving up three earned-runs on nine hits, two walks and two strikeouts.

YES does it better, needs more cameras. Misses two Key Plays.

The game was the second of four to be aired live on the YES Network, which in WPCNR’s opinion, did a much better job of covering the game and showing the family atmosphere that prevails at Juggernaut games, actually even showing some shots of fans in the stands, (but with no ballpark panoramas. The Juggernauts still have not bought a bumper slide ad on YES to showcase their Box Office Phone Number which is inexplicable.

YES still needs to spring more jing for more cameras, though, since they missed closeup replays of two key plays (something that never happens in a Yankee telecast) : Moore’s failure to stop Collins triple down the (the big break in the game), and Jackie Pasquerella’s backhand glove stop to choke off the Riptide rally in the 5th. (The YES summer intern producing the telecasts is learning.)

Still no fan interviews were offered, and no interview with the Juggernaut owner, or the new manager, Dana D’Aquino. (Come on, YES, you have to interview the new manager — unless to be fair — they asked and the new manager declined.)

The next game to be aired on YES will be on July 11^th at 7:35 pm against the Arizona Heat. The third-place Juggernaut now improve to 10-6 on the season and the Riptide drop to 6-10.

AIR PASQUERELLA: Bay Shore Long Island’s Jacklyn Pasquerella airborne in Pete Rose classic headfirst slide to first in an attempt to beat a 2-out throw to first on a deflection in the second inning. They got her and saved a run. WPCNR Video Capture from The YES Network
