NEW CASTLE — When Andrew DeMarchis and Kevin Graff, two 13-year-olds from Chappaqua's Seven Bridges Middle School, set up shop at Gedney Park on a fall weekend last month, they were expecting a tidy profit.

 

Instead, the two wannabe entrepreneurs selling cupcakes, cookies, brownies and Rice Krispie treats baked by them for $1 apiece got a taste of cold, hard bureaucracy .

 

New Castle Councilman Michael Wolfensohn came upon the sale and called the cops on the kids for operating without a license.

 

guy looks like a total d00sh, too.

Man, people in this world are just getting f'ing stupid.

While I can't see why the councilman would care, the vendor right next to them paying the $175 an hour fee and required to prove $1 mil in insurance might be a little irked.

Ummm, they're Jewish. Of course, they don't expect to pay anything while getting rich. How do you think they run the world?

If some kids want to open some sort of stand on private property, fine. But I can see why you wouldn't want them opening shop at a public park.

Yep...makes sense. Councilman should have given them the chance to leave without bring in the fuzz though.

I don't know when all this kind of stuff started but you hear about it way too often. I remember during the summer months while in grade school I would sit out in front of my house selling Kool Ade for 10 cents a cup.
