WPCNR PRESS BOX. April 24, 2004: The City of Yonkers Department of Parks, Recre4ation and Conservation with the Yonkers Figure Skating Club "iced" their annual Figure Skating Show,  Broadway Show Stoppers Friday, Saturday and Sunday, entertaining an admiring audience at Murray's Skating Rink with a well-paced and skillful series of solo performances and group numbers . The highlight was a spectacular staging of Tony and Tina's Wedding on ice with Wedding Cake, bride, (the first time a wedding dress has been worn in a skating program) and every fabulous Italian love song. Solos of elegant complexity were interpreted divinely by  skaters from all over Westchester County, including Aly and Matty Salinger and Juliana Bailey of White Plains.  The rink runs quality programs, generates community spirit and it makes money. The Skating Center is perhaps the best run operation the City of Yonkers conducts, and it does not ask the state for $500 million on a monthly basis.

Murray Ice Skating Center.  Left to Right are: Jessica Morgan, Patricia Gambardella, Mary Halling,  Mattie Salonger, Nicole Muccio, Juliana Bailey, Aly Salonger, Alexandra Kaplan,  Alyssa Budilius, Sarah Zanolli, and Melody Fernandez.
