11 11 FAIR From page one animal ride at the fair. "Everybody was running and screaming, and then someone said there was going to be a fight. Then, the mob was gone. It was scary." Yonkers Deputy Police Chief Anthony Tocco said 10 people were assaulted and three were robbed. He said he could not give specifics about who was attacked or what was stolen until reports were completed.
Tocco said many of the teenagers carried baseball bats and pieces of lumber. There was report that someone brandished knife, Tocco said. No one was arrested as of yesterday afternoon, Tocco said. Police Department's Detective Division and Special Investigations Unit were investigating. Tim Rooney, owner of the raceway and the fair, disputed the police account, and said 1 the ruckus involved groups of teen-agers fighting.
"We've had incidents before, but this one is getting a lot of attention," he said. He asserted that people with baseball bats are not permitted on the fair grounds. Elizabeth Marmion, assistant director of public relations and development at Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville, said six people were taken there for injuries. One remained at the hospital last night. Peter Miller, 19, of Wappingers Falls was listed in stable condition, suffering from bruises and a concussion.
A Yonkers boy, whose name was withheld by the hospital because of his age, was admitted Thursday night with a stab wound and was discharged late yesterday morning, Marmion said. Another unnamed Yonkers boy admitted with a concussion was discharged yesterday. Felix Marco, 20, of Yonkers was treated for bruises at the hospital Thursday night and released. Ray Smith, 22, of Elmsford David Barfield, 22, of South Carolina left the hospital without being treated, Marmion said. Hospital spokesmen confirmed that other people, whose names they would not release, were treated at Joseph's Medical Center and St.
John's Riverside Hospital, both in Yonkers. Galterio said there were about 17,700 people at the fair Thursday night when the violence broke out. He said he thought there were several groups who fought and assaulted patrons at different times. One witness said the violence was sparked by a robbery. Jermaine Yancey, 15, of Bruce Avenue, Yonkers, said the ram- page Smith Barney, Harris Upham Co.
Inc. "I would have been flabbergasted had the board done otherwise." Icahn counterattacked late yesterday. "Stockholders should be incensed that the Texaco board will not give them the right to vote on a $60 (per-share) merger proposal," he said in a statement. He also said he would extend the offer until the annual meeting and, if his slate is elected, for an additional 60 days. K.
Peter Maneri, a Texaco spokesman, said the extension had no effect on the board's position. "The terms of the deal haven't changed," he said. "It's not a matter of time." Investors reacted little to the news in a pre-holiday market, with the stock the fifth most active on the New York Stock Exchange with 1.37 million shares traded. Texaco finished at down 62.5 cents. Analysts generally said Icahn's bid was not serious, and Texaco's stock only briefly moved to within $8 of the bid price before sliding back.
But interest in what else Icahn may do remains high. "This thing is not over," Young said. "Icahn has to be taken seriously, and I think he may still have something in his bag of tricks." In a statement, Texaco's board cited a number of factors, including its confidence that its own restructuring plan would enhance shareholder value in both the short and term. The restructuring plan involves the sale of $5 billion in assets and a shift toward exploration and production and away from refining and marketing. It also continued management's page one page started with a fight between two male one from Yonkers and the other from Mount Vernon.
Yancey, who said he was at the raceway Thursday night, was interon the fairgrounds last night. The Mount Vernon boy had pulled a gun and robbed jewelry from three teen-age girls, Yancey said. When a male friend of one of the robbery victims confronted the bandit, the robber punched him in the face and left, according to Yancey, He returned in about a halfhour, shortly after 11 p.m., with more than two-dozen companions, Yancy said. a a "They went on a rampage," Yancey said. "They knocked down people.
They knocked down booths." The group split into three or four groups of about 10 each, according to Yancey, and the smaller groups mugged two people outside the fair on Yonkers Avenue. P.J. Devaney, 16, of Yonkers said he was involved in a fight as the disturbances spilled outside the fair Avenue. After leaving the fair with two friends, a group of about eight male teen-agers attacked one of his friends, Devaney said. "They didn't mug him or anything," Devaney said.
Devaney, who tried to help his friend, was bruised and got a bloody nose. He said his two friends suffered a "couple of blacks and blues, cuts that's all." Devaney, who worked at one of the fair's game booths, said he saw groups of teen-agers chasing one another and hitting people. Galterio, who said he walked through the fair Thursday night, said he did not see anyone with baseball bats or two-by-fours. Galterio attributed the problem in part to the large number of young people attracted by the announcement of free rides at the fair Thursday night. "We had an inordinate number of young Galterio said.
There will be no more free rides at the fair, he added. Galterio said there have been other incidents during the fair's eight-year history, including two days of fighting between ride operators and employees three years ago. "They're very isolated incidents, though," Galterio added. "The majority of the time the fair has been a fun, family event." The fair, in its eighth year at the raceway, attracted 653,466 people last year. It is scheduled for the raceway until June 12.
Staff writers Gerry Bennett and Catherine Ryan and The Associated Press contributed to this report. severe criticism of Icahn's motives. Over seven months, Icahn has amassed a stake worth nearly $1.8 billion but faces substantial obstacles to realizing more than $500 million in paper profits. On Wednesday, Texaco ended three weeks of negotiations aimed at avoiding the proxy fight, saying it could not satisfy Icahn's desire to realize his profits without favoring him over other shareholders. Icahn made his bid within hours, and Thursday formally began his proxy solicitation.
Texaco's board cited "the total lack of supporting information" regarding Icahn's ability to raise the $20 billion that the company estimates would be needed to buy the stock and satisfy other obligations such as paying debt. "Icahn made this proposal one week after stated, on May 22, 1988, that he did not believe he could obtain financing for an offer," the board said. Icahn dismissed the objection. "It is unconscionable for the board of directors to hide behind an investment banker rather than ask us how we plan to finance our $60 (per-share) offer," he said. Earlier yesterday, Icahn told the Dow Jones News Service that financing would come from the sale of the company's assets as well as from bank loans secured by Texaco's cash flow, which last year was $3.3 billion.
The board also said the "illusory proposal" contained numerous conditions that raised questions about its seriousness. It cited the timing of the offer as too late to be included in the annual meeting, the short 48-hour deadline for board to respond and technical faults. on the spot. millionaire Carl A. Capasso.

Religion A Section Gannett Westchester May 28, 1988 RDM TR 13 Revival of ancient custom extends boundaries for modern Sabbaths A portion of Mount is A portion of Mount is the fifth area in Westchester to establish boundary, an eruv, or religious which serves to extend the Orthodox Jew's home to include surrounding areas and synagogues. Eruvin, which are made up of existing boundaries such as utility poles, wires and fences, are already in place in parts of Scarsdale, New Rochelle, Yonkers and White Plains.
Rabbi David Haymovitz of the Emanu-el Jewish Center in Mount Vernon has led a two-year effort by the city's Jewish community to establish an eruv in the northern part of the city. It is scheduled for completion by the end of June. Haymovitz, a native of Israel, taught at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York City and Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He was ordained in Israel in the late 1950s and served as spiritual leader of the Brooklyn Jewish Center for 12 years before moving to Mount Vernon in 1980. He holds a master's degree in comparative law from Columbia University and a law degree from Hebrew University.
Haymovitz, who is married and has three children, spoke about eruvin during a recent interview with staff writer Gerry Bennett. What is the reason for setting up an eruv? There are 39 basic categories of work which a person is not permitted to do on the Sabbath, which the rabbis define as no-nos on Sabbath. One of these categories RELIGION BRIEFS BRONXVILLE CLERGY LUNCHEON: The Bronxville clergy luncheon will be held at noon on Friday at Christ Church, Sagamore Road.

Burnett Church School Child Care at 10:00 AM Adult Education following Eucharist WITH RABBI DAVID HAYMOVITZ prohibits a Jew from carrying anything, no matter what the size, from one domain to another. The idea behind it is: Stay home, stay with your friends, stay with your family. You can walk, you can visit, but carrying from one place to another would disrupt that atmosphere of complete rest. So, the rabbis sat down and legally defined what is a domain. A domain is a private domain or a public domain.
You're not permitted to carry anything from a private domain into a public domain. And then, no carrying from one point public domain to another point in a public domain. You can carry within your own private domain anything you want. Let's say this is my home. I want to carry this desk down from the seventh floor to the bottom floor; it's permissible.
It's within my house. But if I have to carry out this piece of paper from the door outside in the street, I'm violating the law. That's very strictly defined to make the person understand that the day is to stay within the family. When did the idea of an eruv originate? According to Jewish tradition, it was King Solomon's court that decided that we create a common domain by mixing eruv means to mix private domains into one. That court decided, according to Jewish tradition, that if you surround a certain area and de- were: Billye Salstrom to the flowers committee; Janet Watt, house, love gift and special interest missionaries; Helen Zito, literature, white cross and special interest missions; Edith Brush, publicity; Virginia Delz, activities; Arlene Gundlach, spiritual growth and family life.

It becomes a private domain for the people living in that area, thereby removing the restriction of carrying. Only carrying.
Not any 38 prohibitions, like not buying, not selling, not doing any commercial business. What: are some of the guidelines that have to be followed to set up an eruv? There are certain areas where you cannot include into the eruv. For example, in Mount Vernon, we had a problem including the Cross County (Parkway). Anything that is such a big thoroughfare may not be included in the eruv. Why not? Because there are certain areas which you cannot declare as a private domain.
An area is not private if more than 600,000 people walk through every day. Let's say there's a river going through the city. That water of the river would divide that city into two sections, which cannot be combined as one domain. It's not one domain; it's divided by water. So there are certain difficulties which make certain areas impossible to be included in the eruv.
Can you cite some other regulations governing the establishment of an eruv? A cemetery can never be a private domain. If a cemetery is included in that area, we have to focuses on evangelism, renewal and healing.

Fraser Charles Albertell, Patricia Heffernan Your neighborhood church of the Christian and Missionary Alliance surround the cemetery with that type of wall to exclude it from that domain. We went to the City Council to get permission to use certain poles in the city. Now what we usually do, we take the lines of Con Ed or the telephone and they have wires going on top of company, the poles. What we have to do is to put in two poles for the eruv purpose.
These are usually thin plastic strips which are attached to the poles, which make the two sides. And the entire proscribed area is surrounded by this. Who established all these regulations? Jewish law is based on the Talmud. Out of all the prohibitions of Sabbath, the first law that the rabbis discussed in length is the law of the eruv, the law of not being able to carry from one domain to another. There is a special tractate of the Talmud, 120 pages devoted to this.
I'm talking about in the third century. And then hundreds and thousands of rabbis and sages studied and developed more and more questions and more and more situations. So it's a very complex and complicated system of legal regulations. How do you maintain an eruv once it is in place? Let's say the telephone wires are cut off somewhere. Since we use these wires, the entire encirclement is broken.
It's not valid. So we have to announce to the community that the eruv is broken and you cannot carry this Sabbath. So every Friday, there will be a special telephone number, which Jewish people, will be notified of. They could in and check on the status of the eruv. one TUCKAHOE FEAST OF THE VISITATION: The Feast of the Visitation, a special Eucharist, will be celebrated on Tuesday at 7:30 p.m.
