The New 60 is a weekly look about what it’s like to be in your 60’s in today’s world: adult children living at home, downsizing (jobs and houses), finding old friends on Facebook and deciphering text-speak. It’s a Brave New World of second homes, second careers and second marriages…and finding out after a lifetime of milkshakes and ice cream that you’re suddenly lactose-intolerant. The New 60 is created by two local 60-plus Westchester residents, John Colquhoun of Bronxville and Andy Landorf, who hails from Tarrytown. The duo are long-time advertising creatives and this, as the saying goes, is their Act II. Even though it features folks in their 60’s, if you know someone who is 60, have a parent who’s 60 or just generally enjoy watching funny things happen to other people, you’ll find something to relate to here—you may even find yourself saying, “Hey, that happened to me!” To read more of the New 60, visit their website at thenew60comic.com.

‘It Happened One Christmas Eve’
“It Happened One Christmas Eve” is the heart-warming story, about an infant left on the doorstep of an old brownstone rooming-house in Brooklyn on Christmas Eve, and the magic she brings to the lives of those who find her. The show features a book by Bob Fitzsimmons, original music and lyrics by Steven Silverstein and Barbara Campbell, and musical arrangements by Steven Silver-
stein. The story of “It Happened One Christmas Eve” unfolds over several Christmas Eves. Told in flashback, it spans plenty of time periods: 1989 to 1919 to 1929 to 1938, 1941, 1944 and 1952. Then back to 1989. “‘It happened One Christmas Eve’ is the heartwarming story of a boarding house family—there are many kinds of families and sometimes we create our own based on trust, love and hope,”
said Richard Stafford, the director. “Our characters had faith and they trusted in each other. They believed in charity, not the showy kind, but the quite kind that brings comfort to the soul. Isn’t that what the spirit of Christmas is all about?” There are plenty of story lines among a house full of interesting characters; an Irish cook, an English spinster, a Brooklyn showgirl who dreams of stardom, a
proud Boston poetess and two Romanian brothers. Their lives are changed forever one Christmas Eve when a baby is placed on their Brooklyn doorstep. That baby, they name her Dolly, grows in their love, a child of charity. There are also plenty of songs, some familiar, some penned just for this show: From “Silent Night” and “Holly Jolly Christmas” to a bouncy “We Haven’t Got Time for Christmas” that
opens the show and a heartfelt “I’m All Alone in the World.” The cast features Devon Perry reprises her role of Dolly, Elliott Litherland as Buddy Allyson Tucker as Millie, Jayson Elliott as Serge, Sarah Colt as Elizabeth, Michael Farina as Sigmund, Amy Griffin as Bridget and Bonnie Fraser as Charlotte. Aubrey Sinn is the Standby. CONTINUED on next page

The children that make up our village
Letters to the Editor
us all to start looking down and cleaning up. They also deeply care about the environment and want us all to remember to recycle and recycle properly and believe me they know how—from sorting to plastic caps to washing out all the containers. Very much on their mind was the pollution caused by cars as well as the congestion in the business district. They believe every one of us should be walking more because we live so close to things and they would really like having all the stores they need—for shoes, clothing and sports gear— right in the village so they are not getting in the car with their moms or dads to go to malls. One young man even asked about the electric car chargers that we are installing in our parking lots. They are very concerned about the water quality in the Bronx River and the lack of healthy fish that can live in it. They want it cleaned up and now. Despite the sometimes dreamy look on their faces, they really don’t miss a trick and are so aware of their environment and frankly how we treat it. They want to plant trees, trees and more trees as they understand the shade and cooling component, the beauty and even the anti-pollution effect of the carbon dioxide. To my surprise and delight, they also talked about making a better community by being kinder to each other, be it to their classmates or just a smile to someone walking on Pondfield Road. They all want to help a senior citizen
Vote Keating for fire commissioner
BRONXVILLE TODAY Mayor Mary Marvin
At this time of year when thankfulness and gratitude take their rightful place in the forefront of our minds, I had the distinct pleasure of having all of our second graders from the Bronxville School come visit me and the Police Department to talk about their community. Their remarkable knowledge and concern about their environment filled me with thanks and gratitude that they are the next generation of villagers to be stewards of our beautiful home. They are smart, kind, inquisitive and thankfully and refreshingly open, free of our adult filters. (One young lady told me my skin was looking good so whatever cream I was using, “I should keep it up.” In the middle of discussing length of political terms, a young man just needed to know right then and there if I had any pets. Their teachers decided to concentrate on the words of a very famous villager, President John F. Kennedy and the famous line in his inaugural address, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.” Without a moment of prompting, the students came up with so many things that they could do for the village to make it an even better place to live. Chief among them was the amount of litter they see both in town and near the Bronx River. They want
like me to cross the street safely. Safety in general is very much on their minds. They all knew how to call 911 and they all knew their address should they need help. The students were very comforted by how fast Bronxville police can get to them if they need help and they knew a great deal about unlocked car thefts and house burglaries. The police officers who toured the children through their department shared their insights as well. As predictable, they were fascinated by the cells, the police cars and the sirens, but the officers were surprised how much they were aware of the village cameras and the feeling of safety they got from them. Needless to say, they were very tech savvy. They were fascinated by the 911 system and were comforted by the fact that every police officer is a trained professional in CPR, oxygen therapy and AED. As one young man put it succinctly, “Wow, you can shock people!” An added comfort was learning that even if they dialed 911, then hung up and said nothing, the police would still come to their door. Upon leaving, I was asked and stumped by the meaning of the Latin Bronxville motto. Being clued in by a friend, I know it now means, “Yield not to misfortunes, but advance more boldly against them.” (Taken from the Aeneid) Believe me, if their visit to Village Hall was any indication, our young citizens have already taken these words to heart.

To the Editor: Please join me on Tuesday, Dec. 10 in supporting Brian Keating for a five-year seat on the Eastchester Board of Fire Commissioners. Just five people are responsible for the financial stewardship of our fire protection tax dollars of which Bronxville property owners pay approximately 35 percent toward the townwide $17.4 million town tax levy. I feel strongly that Mr. Keating is the candidate on the ballot who will conduct the public’s business in a fair, honest and professional manner based on his impressive skill set, excellent judgment and measured demeanor. We deserve nothing less. Simply put, a strong turnout in Bronxville for Mr. Keating will serve to decide the long-term management of the fire district. Voting is from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. for all villagers at Bronxville Village Hall. There is no provision for absentee ballots. Mary Marvin, Village of Bronxville mayor
Bronxville PD reverse Pondfield Road U-turns To the Editor: I’m sure you feel as irritated as I do when you see a car intentionally cross the double line during busy periods to turn into an open parking space on the other side of the street. It is not only blatantly illegal to cross a double yellow line for this purpose, but it slows down traffic as the car invariably must back up into other traffic to straighten out. Where were these people during their drivers ed courses when it was clearly taught that this activity is against the law? Once, I personally experienced a driver who was stopped to await the chance to cross the double yellow line and pounce into an opening spot but a car traveling in the proper direction snuck in before she got a chance to make her illegal turn and then got mad at the person taking the spot because she couldn’t make her turn! Well the time has come to take some action and get the message out that Bronxville does not tolerate this behavior. In a targeted seven-day period recently, the Bronxville Police Department ticketed 176 cars. It is not an easy task to enforce this rule as logistics are challenging and substantial overtime was incurred. Parking enforcement officers cannot issue these summons and a police officer must witness the violation. Drivers who are caught receive a fine and points on their license. Sadly, only a small percentage of these revenues find their way into Bronxville’s treasury due to state laws. I asked Chief Satriale if there were any interesting stories arising from this blitz but he said not really, most people were quite surprised and not happy. Our enforcement efforts will not necessarily stop this all-too-common practice from occurring in the future. But it is certainly the right move to at least selectively address annoying and dangerous conduct. Bill Barton, Village of Bronxville trustee

One more rodeo LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
I certainly didn’t I think I’d ever see it happen, but it looks like Eli Manning is going to be quarterbacking the Giants once again. On Tuesday, the Giants announced that Daniel Jones, who took over for Manning in Week 3, would potentially be sidelined for Sunday’s matchup against the Eagles, meaning that Manning might once again perhaps get the chance to lead the Giants onto the field. But although I may be morbidly curious to see Manning back under center—given how dreadful the Giants have been, at least it’s a reason to tune in—I can’t help but think about what a terrible situation this has to be for him. When Big Blue opted to hand the reigns of the offense over to Jones, I applauded the move.
As good as Manning has been throughout the years, his tenure with the Giants had obviously run its course. They were a team looking to the future, and Eli, at 38 years old, clearly wasn’t part of it. At that point, however, I fully expected the Giants to look to trade the two-time Super Bowl champion to a team—like the Jaguars—looking for a veteran quarterback. But with the emergence of viable backup quarterbacks around the league—players like Gardner Minshew—Manning became an afterthought and spent the next few months holding a clipboard on the Giants’ sidelines. Now with Jones likely sidelined, he’s going to be pressed back into service, at least for another week. On one hand, I’m happy that I’ll get to see Manning take the field against a division rival like the Eagles. On the other, I can’t help but wonder what a blow to Manning’s ego it will be to head out there on Sunday, getting a start as a second-stringer. The guy
has been a Pro-Bowler, a twotime Super Bowl MVP, is one of the most prolific passers—statwise—in the NFL’s history, and now he’s being asked to serve as a one-week steward of a football team that, quite frankly, is lousy. I don’t think we’ll hear him address that situation, however. Manning has always been a consummate professional. He’ll show up, do his job, and say the right things in the postgame press conference win or lose. But that doesn’t mean his current situation isn’t weighing on him. It has to; it’s simply human nature. So even though I’ve given up on Big Blue this year, I’ll be sure to tune in to watch No. 10 sling the ball around again on Sunday. We probably won’t get too many more chances to do it, and if it means he goes out by putting a serious dent in the Eagles’ playoff chances, that’s the kind of curtain call I can really get behind.
