"I wanted to thank you for the fantastic article you did on the Riddell Bowl! Outstanding and reminded me of the old Grantland Rice days when football was reported in such a great way. The kids appreciated the entire article and the most professional way it was done."
-- Mark C. Santa-Donato, White Plains Football Coach

County Bans Campfires in County Parks Posted on Friday, August 16 @ 18:34:16 EDT by jfbailey

WPCNR Friday Night Final. From Westchester County Department of Communications. August 16, 2002:As a result of the increased risk of fire caused by drought conditions, County Parks Commissioner Stanley G. Motley today announced a ban on fires at all county parks. Barbecues are not affected, if fired up in permanently fixed grills.

“Due to the unusual lack of rain this summer, many parks have become excessively dry,” Motley said. “We ask all visitors to use common sense in helping to protect our parks and to take such precautions as fully extinguishing barbecue coals and cigarettes.”

Motley noted that charcoal and propane fires will only be permitted for cooking in permanently-fixed grills.

The Parks Department will continue to monitor conditions on a daily basis and will re-evaluate the ban if any appreciable rainfall occurs.

For further information, contact the Westchester County Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation at (914) 864-7000.
