Next year, The Rye Record celebrates its 19th year of publication. While there were only two issues in 1996, before long the paper went to a monthly, then every three weeks, and finally an every-other-week schedule, most of the year.

 

What we celebrate most is our longtime contributors and columnists who continue to surprise and delight.

 

B1-Michelle-Florence“I grew up in Rye, and I contacted the paper soon after it got going to ask if they would like any contributions or photos.”

— Michelle Florence

 

B1-Arthur“During my term on the Rye City Council, I got to know Robin. After I left the Council in 2000, she asked me to contribute articles on city and financial issues. I gradually began writing about other issues, and now mostly focus on writing articles on art, which is another of my favorite subjects and led me to become a docent, first at the Neuberger, then at the Bruce Museum.”

— Arthur Stampleman

 

 

 

 

 

B1-GM“We had just moved to Rye from New York City, and I heard The Rye Record was looking for writers. I wanted to continue working, so I thought it was a good way to get going again with a 1-year-old at home.”    

— Georgetta Morque

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Robin and I met through mutual business friends, and I was hired as Art Director in 2011.”    

— Wendy Tittel

 

 

“As my sons like to remind me, I was an editor at a community newspaper (The Westport News) as a young woman, and I’m going out as a longtime editor (now publisher) of a community newspaper. Life is filled with irony. I left that first paper because I wanted to do something “important”, e.g. magazine editor. Well, I got that wish at Good Housekeeping and Self, and a few you haven’t heard of, and let me assure you that working at Dolores Eyler’s and Allen Clark’s kitchen tables was so much more fun and interesting than in the conference rooms at Hearst and Conde Nast.”

— Robin Jovanovich

 

 

B1-LeesandfordIn 2009 I sent an article to Robin about fitness, and my Boot Camp by the Beach program. Since then, I’ve written regularly about fitness.”    

— Lee Sandford

 

 

 

B1-SV“I answered an ad for a schools reporter.”

— Sarah Varney

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“My friend Kek Knowles kept bugging Robin to read my blogs. Eventually, she did, and I started contributing columns to the paper — on everything from men’s style to baseball. Next, she asked me to take over the Police Blotter. Two years ago, she asked me to come aboard as editor of The Rye Record.”

— Tom McDermott

 

B1-noah“My best friend Will Jovanovich and I were interested in film making.  In 2003 I began contributing regular film reviews to The Rye Record, and now it has blossomed into a full-time business.”

— Noah Gittell

 

 

 

 

B1-Annabell“I was sitting next to Carla Eggers at a Little League game, and she told me The Rye Record was looking for someone to write a ‘mom’ column. I’ve been writing ‘Along for the Rye’d’ for the last three years (and two young adult novels to boot).”

— Annabel Monaghan

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

B1-BillL“I was first a reader of the paper, and became a contributor after the 2007 flood. I was up at the Bowman Dam and took 60 to 70 photos of storm run-off, and ended up writing an article. I have been a contributor ever since.”

—  Bill Lawyer

 

B1-Maureen“I was giving fashion talks at the Rye Arts Center and the Rye library and Robin suggested I write a fashion and beauty column. My ‘Dressing on the Side’ column covers clothing trends and self-image.”

   
 — Maureen Amaturo

 

 

 

 

 

 

B10Melanie“I’ve been writing for The Rye Record for about ten years, right after I submitted photos of a house fire I had witnessed. While I’ve covered a lot of sports over the decade, I’ve also done profiles and lots of pet-related articles.”

— Melanie Cane

 

 

 

 

 

 

B1-Mitch“I was in advertising, and had published a novel. I was a friend of Robin’s, and she asked if I could help by contributing to the paper. I started by writing the Police Blotter and movie reviews, and now mostly focus on sports.”

— Mitch Silver
