Today's riddle: What did the tree say when Spring arrived? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. White Plains 9/11 Ceremony Will Honor Local Heroes And Victims At Liberty Park For 25th Anniversary (patch.com) — White Plains residents are invited to a 25th anniversary 9/11 remembrance at Liberty Park, honoring six local residents who died and the many others affected. The ceremony will feature remarks from Mayor Justin Brasch, prayers, a wreath laying, and the planting of an October Glory Maple as a lasting symbol of peace, strength, and resilience in the city.
2. New York DPS: Westchester Power Customers Paid More Overall Despite Wild Swings in Savings and Losses (talkofthesound.com) — White Plains residents in the Westchester Power program are part of a countywide group that, over several years, ended up paying about $631,000 more for electricity supply than standard utility rates, despite big savings during 2021–22 price spikes. State data show Sustainable Westchester's fixed-rate contracts sometimes beat the market and sometimes lagged badly, and regulators did not find clear environmental gains to offset the extra cost.
3. These are the field hockey finalists for lohud's Elite 11 (lohud.com) — Two White Plains High School standouts, midfielder McKenna Austin and multi-position player Micalyn Kelly, have been named finalists for lohud's prestigious Elite 11 field hockey list, along with forward Alexis Tighe. They're part of a highly competitive group of returning stars from across Westchester and nearby schools, setting up an exciting local season to watch.
4. Tianyue Sun Advances Evidence-Based Early Language Intervention for Children with Autism and Developmental Delays (laweekly.com) — Families in the White Plains and Yonkers school districts may benefit from cutting-edge autism interventions developed by behavior analyst Tianyue Sun, whose work informed her teaching at the Fred S. Keller School. Her evidence-based methods aim to help very young children build communication skills more efficiently, and she's now taking that expertise to a major autism center while continuing to refine practical classroom-ready strategies.
