Photographs of the Day: President Walks Westchester Soil. Arrives on schedule; motorcades to fundraisers. Does Not Mingle with Press on Arrival.

WPCNR WASHINGTON OBSERVER. By John F. Bailey. August 29, 2014:

The President is with us.

2014829airforceone 017

Air Force One on the horizon, a beacon at first, then the majestic dignified sweep of light blue wings! It sent chills up your spine at the promise, the dignity, the gravity, the responsibility of the office that every President brings with them everywhere they go.

Air Force One arrived as scheduled landing out of the northwest  this afternoon, first just a bright light in the puffy cloud blue horizon at 1:50 P.M. majestically touched down and rolled out on Runway 16, taxiing  back up the runway and pulled to a stop on Taxiway Charlie.

President Barack Obama deplaning at Westchester County Airport today

 

His awaiting motorcade entourage pulled up aside the plane as about twenty reporters watched from behind barricades 100 feet away.

The President emerged from the front of the aircraft, waved at the top of the staircase rolled up to the side of the plane, and  descended, businesslike to the tarmac, shaking hands with Ron Belmont, the Mayor of Harrison (the only official invited to greet the President at his plane arrival according to the Secret Service).

Without so much as an acknowledgement of the press, the President quickly entered his limousine. The motorcade pulled out in brusque, businesslike fashion on route to a fundraiser somewhere in Harrison with another  money maker scheduled in New Rochelle this evening.

Ron Belmont, Mayor of Harrison fielding questions from the press about how you make small talk with the President of the United States. Mayor Belmont was the only official invited to greet Mr. Obama on arrival.

Ron Belmont told WPCNR the President was cordial,friendly, welcoming and told Mr. Belmont “what a wonderful area Harrison is.” Belmont was beseiged by the press for nuggets of Obama news after the motorcade left for its undisclosed Harrison fundraising party. But Mayor Belmont was very discreet.

Secret Service personnel advised reporters President Obama would be flying to Rhode Island for a fundraiser in Newport early Friday evening and returning to Washington D.C. for the evening after  the Newport function. He is expected to return to  to Westchester tomorrow afternoon to attend a wedding in Pocantico Hills.

City Plans Two Remembrances of White Plains Residents Who Died on 9/11

WPCNR RECALL. From the White Plains Department of Recreation and Parks. August 29, 2014:

This year, the City of White Plains will remember and honor those who lost their lives and worked to help others on September 11, 2001 in two special ways.
The City of White Plains Personnel Department and the American Red Cross will host a blood drive on Tuesday, September 9th at City Hall, 255 Main Street, 10:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Donating just one pint of blood can save up to three lives and is a truly meaningful way to give back to our community and our country, and to honor the heroes of 9/11. Participation is open to all. Pre-registration is available at www.redcrossblood.org. Please use sponsor code WPCITYHALL.

2013911 028

The 9/11 Memorial in Liberty Park, White Plains.

On Thursday, September 11th, six American flags will fly from City Hall as homage to the six residents of White Plains who lost their lives on that day in 2001. The Recreation and Parks Department will hold a remembrance service at 8:00 a.m. at Liberty Park on Lake Street, the City’s permanent memorial site for these residents. The ceremony will include the raising of an Operation Freedom flag, wreath laying, prayer and poem reading.

WPCNR DOWNTOWN STRIP. August 26, 2014:  

WPCNR has learned that Butterfield 8 undergoing renovations, will be opening next week as a Brother Jimmy’s the downtown Manhattan “go-to-to-meet-up-watch-the-game-and-see-your-buds-from-the-old-alma-ter-place.”

Brother Jimmy’s has announced on its website that they are now hiring for the White Plains location at 147 Mamaroneck Avenue.

University of Michigan alums in New York go to Brother Jimmy’s to catch the Wolverine games, and next weekend  — when UM plays Appalacian State to open their season, the U of M Westchester alumni are switching to Lola’s prior to their Brother Jimmy’s opening game next week..

Brother Jimmy’s according to our sources delivers southern barbecue, wings, the fishbowl cocktail with an aligator floating in it…and a conviviality the 20-somethings and 30-somethings love because it approximates the feel of those old college hangouts without the stiff formality of restaurants and without the younger crowd.
