In remembrance of The Good Samaritan — Larry-Jamaal Warren. After 11 Years, Will a Witness Please Step Up?

Posted on February 15, 2014 by John Bailey

WPCNR MILESTONES. From the Warren Family. February 15, 2014:

The Warren family is holding the eleventh memorial for their son, Larry-Jamaal Warren on February 17, 2014 at 7 PM at Bethel Baptist Church, 1 Fisher Court, White Plains, NY

Larry-Jamaal was ambushed and tragically killed on February 16, 2003 after trying to help a friend “peacefully” resolve a dispute while at a party at Tino’s (Villa/Steakhouse) Restaurant in Hawthrone, NY.

The family has vowed to continue holding the annual memorials with firm believe that one of the many witnesses will finally come forward and rightfully assist the police in capturing Larry-Jamaal’s killer. The family hopes the memorial will not only reflect upon their son’s character and wonderful life, but motivate others to help solve the case and inspire everyone to become involved in the “Live” (Stop the Violence) movement.

The Warrens are very thankful for the support of their church, the community,and for the persistence of the Mount Pleasant Police Department and the Westchester District Attorney’s Office.

White Plains retail sales continued soft in January, $5,000 less than last year, putting $4,875,684 in the city exchequer.

Westchester County started the new fiscal year 2014, up 1.8%, $41.8 Million in sales tax receipts compared to $41.1 Million in January 2015. The County continued its retail winning streak, while White Plains continues to lag behind the county pace.

After 7 months reporting in fiscal year 2013-2014 White Plains has generated $30,526,470 in Sales Tax dollars. If the city continues to meet last year’s “sales tax handle” the next five months ($20.3 Million), the city will generate $50.9 Million in sales taxes which would on target to match the 2012-13.

Teatown Deer Kill Began Wednesday Night.

Posted on February 13, 2014 by John Bailey

WPCNR ENVIRONMENTALIST. Special to WPCNR from Linda Conte. February 13, 2014:

I have been robbed – robbed of my feeling and experience of our
Teatown (Reservation) area as a peaceful, beautiful, quiet place where nature and
people lived together in peace. A location eagerly sought, containing
old stone walls, huge trees and lots of good memories – the whole
Teatown area has been robbed.

On the way down Blinn Road about 6 p.m. last night, we were
reminded again of how precious and poignant it is, when we
followed, slowly and at a distance, three young deer, beautiful,
majestic and vulnerable, down the road, and watched how difficult it
was for them to find a place to get off the road, a place where they
could navigate the deep snow and icy conditions, to get into the
woods, supposedly to safety.
Shortly after we arrived home at about 9 p.m. everything changed.
Last night, thanks to Teatown “Nature Preserve”, there was secrecy,
trucks plowing through Teatown trails, and people in camouflage
uniforms and carrying rifles. Deer, baited during this difficult time
to find food, wandering into familiar land which recently had boasted
“deer snacks”, pristine areas familiar to the deer as resting places,
suddenly turned into deer-killing fields.
The police were called.
Later, a Teatown Lake Reservation administrator was out in the road
taking pictures of the cars passing in the street and threatening local
neighbors, Teatown members and supporters.
We don’t know how many deer lost their life last night. (The shooters
wouldn’t talk.) We don’t know how many young deer, lost and
orphaned last night, are suddenly alone during this monumental
storm.

We don’t know how much blood and gore is being covered by
the pure white snow today.
But we will NEVER FORGET!

Linda
