Webutuck girls finish week with a win

WEBUTUCK — It was a smart, heads-up play that notched the Webutuck High School’s varsity girls soccer team its second win of the season Friday, Sept. 17.

Facing Dover at home, the Bombers found themselves trailing early after a Dover breakaway put the first goal on the board. But a foul on sophomore Brianna Bailey in the Dover penalty area gave junior Captain Victoria Cullinan a penalty kick. Cullinan’s shot found the back of the net about 10 minutes before halftime, tying the game.

Cullinan was a part of both goals for Webutuck, setting up the winning goal in the 33rd minute of the second half. Dribbling down the side of the field, she crossed a pass over the middle to junior Cari Cestone, who headed the ball past the Dover goalie to put the Bombers ahead 2-1, for good.

“The girls played pretty well today,� said Webutuck coach Mark Moren. “We had a lot of shots on goal. Maybe we could have put some more goals in but we’ll take that as our win.�

Webutuck improves to 2-2 overall, following two losses to Ellenville (a 0-1 loss) and Rhinebeck (a 2-1 marathon where Webutuck fell short in double overtime) earlier last week.

Their next home game is scheduled Thursday, Sept. 23, against Spackenkill at 4:15 p.m.

Magic Fluke Ukulele Shop and True Wheels Bicycle Shop are not only under the same roof in a beautiful solar powered building on Route 7 in Sheffield, but they are also both run by the Webb family, telling a tale of familial passion, innovation and a steadfast commitment to sustainability.

In the late ‘90s, Dale Webb was working in engineering and product design at a corporate job. “I took up instrument manufacturing as a fun challenge,” said Dale. After an exhibit at The National Association of Music Merchants in Anaheim, California, in 1999, The Magic Fluke company was born. “We were casting finger boards and gluing these things together in our basement in New Hartford and it just took off,” Dale explained. “It was really a wild ride, it kind of had a life of its own.”
