The Fat Cat Lounges at the City Center De Lux: Garfield Saunters In.

WPCNR SCREEN GEMS. From National Amusements. June 10, 2004: Garfield: The Movie opens up at the movies in downtown White Plains this weekend. Movie fans may also order advance tickets for SpiderMan II, which premiers at the City Center De Lux June 29. The Chronicles of Riddock, The Stepford Wives and Garfield are this week’s new shows. Here is the week’s schedule, and remember, folks, 2 asterisks means the movie is playing in the slightly more expensive, upscale, toney Director’s Hall.

THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK — The adventures of Riddick continue in this sequel to Pitch Black. For the last five years, Riddick has been on the move eluding mercenaries. The fugitive finds himself on Helion, a planet led by the tyrannical Lord Marshal, where he is exiled to a subterranean prison. There he encounters Kyra, the lone survivor from an earlier chapter in his life. In his efforts to free himself and Kyra, Riddick is led to the command ship, where he is pitted against Lord Marshal in an apocalyptic battle. Vin Diesel reprises his role of enigmatic anti-hero Richard B. Riddick in this sci-fi action epic, which also stars Thandie Newton and Colm Feore. Rated PG13.

THE STEPFORD WIVES — Joanna and Walter Eberhart are a modern couple who leave their hectic Manhattan lives behind and move to the upper-class suburb of Stepford, Connecticut. Joanna soon befriends Bobbie Markowitz, a writer with an irreverent sense of humor. Joanna and Bobbie become suspicious of the more than perfect wives who reside in Stepford and discover the men in their town are replacing their wives with compliant look-a-like robots. Nicole Kidman, Matthew Broderick, Bette Midler, Jon Lovitz, Christopher Walken and Glenn Close star in this sophisticated comedy/thriller. Rated PG13

GARFIELD: The Movie — When a dog named Odie is brought home, Garfield the cat is forced to compete with him for the affection and attention of their owner, Jon Arbuckle – much to Garfield’s disgust. However, when Odie is kidnapped by a mean dog trainer, Garfield feels responsible, so he gets off his favorite spot and gets into action to rescue his fellow pet in crisis. Bill Murray provides the voice of Garfield in this fun family comedy, which also stars Breckin Meyer and Jennifer Love Hewitt. Rated PG

Peaches James Tames The Juggernaut, 5-2

WPCNR PRESS BOX. Special to WPCNR From Jen Carlo. June 10, 2004 (Edited): The New York New Jersey Juggernaut fell into a first place with the Texas Thunder in Houston Wednesday night as Peaches James tamed the potent Naut lineup. The Texas Thunder dominated Cougar Field this evening over the New York/New Jersey Juggernaut with a convincing 5-2 win. 
The action got started in the bottom of the second inning with a solo blast from first baseman and Alabama alumnae Ginger Jones (2-2, HR, 2R, BB, RBI). Shortly following, former Texas Aggie, Selena Collins (1-2, HR, BB) kept the rally going with the team’s second solo blast of the inning. 

 In the bottom of the third inning the Thunder busted it open. Ryan Realmuto (0-2, BB) got the inning started with a leadoff walk. Jones followed the walk with a double, scoring Realmuto to make the score 3-0. Clare Burnum (1-3, HR, BB) capped off the Thunder scoring for both the inning and the game with a two-run blast that scored pinch runner Laura Leonetti.

The Juggernaut fought back in the fourth scoring their only two runs of the game. Gina Oaks (1-2, R) lead off with a walk and later came around to score on an RBI single by Venus Taylor (1-3, RBI). With two outs in the inning Carri Leto (2-4, RBI) singled to score Taylor for the final run of the inning.

Peaches James (Nebraska) got the start on the mound for the Thunder and continued her early-season dominance. James allowed just two runs on six hits over seven innings pitched. James also struck out 10 hitters increasing her league-leading total to 30. James also now leads the NPF with a 3-0 record. Oaks took the loss for the Juggernaut, dropping her to 2-1 on the season.  Amanda Scott (2-1) who pitched in relief for Oaks, had four strikeouts for the Nauts in three scoreless innings.

With the loss, the Nauts drop to 5-2 on the season.  Game two of the three game series will be played tomorrow night at 7:35 CDT, as the Nauts and the Thunder battle it out for first place.

Republican Party Hails Delgado Decision by Judge Francis Nicolai

WPCNR WHITE PLAINS LAW JOURNAL. From Westchester County Republican Committee. June 9, 2004:  Republican County Committee Chairwoman RoseMarie Panio today applauded a Supreme Court decision ruling that White Plains Councilman Glen Hockley should be removed from office and replaced with Republican Larry Delgado, who was denied the race due to a broken voting machine.

 


            Panio also congratulated Delgado and praised his tenacity and commitment to public service.  “It has been a long road for Larry Delgado,” said Panio.  “He rightfully should represent the people of White Plains, and I look forward to seeing him re-seated on the Common Council.”


 


            The long process, nearly three years, included court cases and a “quo warranto” legal procedure through the office of the Attorney General.


 


            “Justice has truly been served,” said Panio.  “We are a democracy.  Our representatives are elected by the people, and finally the true people’s choice will once again represent them.”
