Somers Boys Can’t Keep up with Mamaroneck in 72-43 Loss
On Wednesday December 27, Somers traveled down county for the Pelham High School Winter Tournament and faced Mamaroneck in the first game.

The combination proved too much, and the Mamaroneck Tigers didn’t waste much time to exert dominance.

A Throwback, Somers defeats Kennedy Catholic in Mike DePaoli Basketball Tournament
In the previous century, when Somers and JFK (Kennedy Catholic) matched up, bragging rights made the competing campuses sizzle, and as the son of Somers basketball coach Mike DePaoli, Gerard DePaoli recalled the times at the tournament that bears his father’s name. “It was a little more wild, I remember the way it used to be,” said the 1982 grad on Saturday December 16, and so maybe with a little nostalgia in mind, the Kennedy Catholic-Somers rivalry has been reborn.

The Killers of the Flower Moon Doesn’t Live up to the Actual Story
Photo : IMDB The Killers of the Flower Moon represents a piece of American History that has been conveniently eliminated from our national consciousness. Between 1918-1931, dozens to hundreds of Osage Indians were murdered to obtain the deeds to their lucrative oil rights.

Guitar Player Meshes Music and Art into one Exhilarating Experience
Julie Rosenberg is a guitar player/artist and recently had her two passions on display at the Chroma Fine Art Gallery in Katonah. She also performed at the exhibit with Reservoir Road on October 4, and had at least one local guitar player inspired by the mix of art and music. “It makes me want to play,” said Matt Taylor, but uplifting artwork or not, the actual feeling that initially got the Katonah resident grooving was liberation.
