Look back at 1996 fire that destroyed Mount Kisco businesses, in photos
A fire on Mount Kisco's South Moger Avenue 30 years ago this month destroyed a book store, ice cream shop and a delicatessen and damaged four other businesses. The Mt. Kisco Book Co., Baskin Robbins and D & D Deli were destroyed by the early morning fire Nov. 25, 1996, that broke out in the ice cream store and grew stronger as it fed on all the paper in the book store. A furniture store, a shoe store, The Gap and a consultancy suffered significant smoke and water damage. It was a 6-alarm fire, the biggest in the village in six years, and was battled by firefighters from Mount Kiso and nine other departments. The book store had opened elsewhere on South Moger as Fox & Sutherland in the 1920s. It was bought and moved in 1995. After the fire the store was able to reopen at the original location which was vacant. But after Borders Books opened a store on Main Street in late 1997, the Mount Kisco Book Co. closed for good in 2000.

Section 1 football: Somers back on top in A; Tuckahoe three-peats in D
Somers makes it five sectional titles in six years THIELLS – Maybe it was inevitable. When the season kicked off there were four teams making noise, but Somers experienced very little resistance on the way to another Section 1 Class A championship. The undefeated Tuskers quickly dispatched Clarkstown South, posting a 34-16 win over the unbeaten Vikings on Friday at North Rockland High School. The dynasty is very much intact. “Winning again is just incredible,” Cameron Violante said. “It feel amazing to come back here and win after what happened last year.” Somers got thumped in the final last fall by Rye. Tristan Iglesias threw four more touchdown passes and built a 27-0 lead by halftime. And the defense was playing well, too, diagnosing plays before the snap and winning battles at the line and shutting down South in a hurry. “I think we see these Section 1 championship banners everywhere and it gets us excited,” Iglesias said. “We get up for these games. Everyone wants to go out there and play their absolute best. We love the pressure. We love to get out there for the playoffs. I think it sparks a fire in us.” The Vikings came out
