The store has a large school supplies section, says store manager Chi Dam, as well as a selection of toys costing $1 and under. Other items include balloons, decorations, party items, baby and beauty supplies, and cleaning supplies.

   EZ Buy uses a color scheme to highlight its pricing strategy and to make it easier for customers to add up their purchases, says Dam. Products with a green tag (or no price tag) are $1, products with a yellow tag are $2, items with a red tag are $3, and items with a blue/red tag are more than $3. Dam says he hopes to offer services like DVD rental and phone cards in the future.

Pediatric Physical Therapy ServicesKids in Motion

   Pediatric Physical Therapy Services of Hudson Valley (PPTS) moved from Valley Cottage to a new and larger location in New City in October.

   The therapeutic and wellness center continues to offer one-on-one physical therapy sessions for children ages birth through early teens. PPTS's three physical therapists work with children of all ability levels to improve mobility, motor development, posture, strength, range of motion, balance, and coordination, says Linda Fuller, owner of PPTS and board certified pediatric physical therapist. The goal of the center's services is to help children gain greater overall utility and independence through a level of therapy appropriate to their specific needs.



   PPTS strives to stay on top of new research, equipment, and approaches to pediatric physical therapy and to incorporate those advancements into its practices, says Fuller. She notes the center's use of treadmill training and TheraTogs as examples of this mission in practice.
