To honor Bettina Foust, who died July 26, 2013, the Corbia and Larizza families purchased a plaque, which will be turned over to the Port Chester Housing Authority and placed inside the apartment building at 45 Traverse Ave. where she lived. To accept the memorial from Tom Corbia (middle) was her son, Alfie Foust. Mayor Richard “Fritz” Falanka is at right. The tablet reads, “‘Miss Tina,’ In Honor of Bettina Foust. A Champion of the Youth of Port Chester and Port Chester Housing Authority Representative. Thank You.”
Brenda Garcia is an artist in the making. The 6-year-old Parker Street resident smears her newly constructed birdhouse, courtesy of Home Depot, with yellow paint. She painted each side of her wooden structure a different color.
